Iodine and Salt

[Guest guest]

Hello Iodine people,

I just keep reading the lists and more information online and I do a headslap.

It caused me to remember that I know a girl that lost her big sister at age 15

due to ovarian cancer. We are right on Lake Superior with low,low iodine levels,

and no one ever mentions iodine. A lot of things I grew up with we consider

normal fit right in with iodine deficiency. I am, hoever, not understanding the

salt loading stuff. I think I saw something and read it but just didn't " get

it " . I am going through a lot of info, though. I was wondering what kinds of

things we take into consideration. I have gone gluten free, does that mean I

don't have to worry about bromine anymore? I have a well, no fluoride anymore.

Do I need the higher dosages for this detoxification? I went to sea salt some

time ago, it seems so funny to see someone write that we need a half teaspoon a

day when years ago we were parroting the doctors telling us " no salt " to avoid

hypertension. Whew! what a

mess.

Thanks for the information. I hope I make proper use of it. I did order in Dr

Brownsteins book on why you need iodine, can't live without stuff.

What an eyeopener, and another, and another!

If you have upholstered furniture in our house, or electronics, you are being massively exposed to bromide. (Just sitting at your computer...) You can't get away from it.And any fruit juice that you buy that is made from concentrates & water, could easily have fluoride in that water. And many of the crops you eat were probably watered with fluoridated water...Just as polar bears are full of toxic chemicals that never originated in the arctic, we are all full of chemicals that often didn't originate in our homes.AnneOn Feb 24, 2011, at 1:27 PM, Volkmann wrote: Hello Iodine people, I just keep reading the lists and more information online and I do a headslap.
