Hi Janet,

Please read Dr. Brownsteins book, IODINE, WHY YOU NEED IT, WHY YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT. It is available many places, including Amazon.com. You will see the best form is Lugol's solution ( or Iodoral which is Lugol's in tablet form). You also need to read The Guide to Supplementing with Iodine that you were sent when you joined. You can also find it in our files. After you have read these, please feel free to ask questions!

organic absorbable iodine

Lokoing at the files section, my understanding is that the thyroid needs potassium iodide, but when I read around I'm seeing that this is not the best form of iodine for the thyroid. Instead am understanding organic absorbable iodine, as in foods, is the best form. When you have no dairy in the diet and little sea food where is the best form to come from if deficient? Be grateful for any insight as find it confusing but need to look at getting some iodine in diet that is lacking. Thanks Janet

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for your reply, I have read supplementing with iodine in the files

section and quite abit of Dr Brownsteins writings online, can you just enlighten

me as to why lugols is the best? I come back again to whether the potassium

iodide is good for the thyroid or not (I appreciate Lugols contains iodine and

pot. iodide). Only asking because of the conflicting information I'm coming

across, that syas the pot iodide is not the preferred option for the thyroid.

Also, when supplementing iodine (in whatever form)do you also supplememnt with

lithium to balance out?

Hi Janet,

Brown kelp, like Alarai(Wakame) or Kombu is wonderfully rich in bio-available

iodine/iodide. This is what the Japanese & Korean cultures eat. Pasteurized

milk or yogurt is not going to contain much iodine any longer, maybe in years

past when farmers fed their cows seaweed meal and they grazed on grass. Cheers,

Rod

just throwing my two cents in here re: this topic.

somewhere on the web i read that after hiroshima, not ONE of the medical professionals EVER contracted any cancers linked to exposure to radiation. and the reason was because of the high amounts of iodine that they consumed over the years.

annie!
