I am starting on iodine today. I increased fats to 80/20 on most days. I feel better after only a few weeks. I added butter into my evening routine four nights qgo. I am sleeping better - from falling asleep to peacefully staying asleep.
@@dianavp9054 at first 100mg of both. Spaced from eachother cause it didn’t feel good to me taking them both at the same time. Now I use about 50mg of iodine a day and 6-100mg or boron. And yes I used borax and often due but I have bought a variety of boron supplements too. Some for my kids.
My order of 15% lugol's came yesterday as I was watching this video. Took 2 drops this morning. I dont know if it's a placebo effect, but I felt so charged. Like I was on high doses of caffein, but without the jitters and racing thoughts. Without the elevated heart rate. Just calm but energized. And my body was warming up after my meals like it was supposed to. Usually I have rather cold hands and feet and a core temperature of 35.4°C on average (95.7°F). Today I'm warming up without effort. It's really great
@@lisabaer2867 like she explains in the video, 15% is the same as what's sold under the name of 5%. It's 5% elemental iodine and 10% potassium-iodine. So I took the one that's known as 5%
Followup- how are you now after 30 days?? I’ve taken 50mg for 30 days and my Tempe retire zoomed to normal from the 97s Also need to top up Ds and get Bs up and going in the gut
@@lmyers9999 I have honestly put a stop to using it bc 1) it fixed my temperatures pretty much without having to keep taking it every dsy and 2) it really amps up the metabolism and if you dont start eating accordingly, you will feel very strange. I was pretty happy with my calorie intake and I'm one of those weird people who dont enjoy food enough to really actively try to find ways to eat more without gaining weight. So it fixed a lot and then I kinda didnt need it anymore. I still take it if I feel like I'll be coming down with a disease or if my temperatures drop again
I have been taking 25-50mg per day since March. It's made such a difference in my life! Gotta add the salt, though! Dr Brownstein's book was very helpful. So thankful for this info! My husband, daughter, and I were sick and lost smell and taste a few weeks ago. However, it came back in about a week. I am convinced it's our iodine consumption that helped us heal so much faster than anyone else we know. I have friends who were ill at the same time and they just can't get their smell and taste to come back. None take iodine.
Thank you so much for having this discussion as I started taking it in water again so I didn’t catch this cold going around my house and I didn’t get sick. I started added it to my diffuser as well. Oh and I add it to my skin (neck) I feel it immediately when I do that and love the pure energy from it
Thanks for this video and the history of why doc are scared of iodine. I'm currently taking NP thyroid meds, and eating a Keto-carnivor diet. I had my thyroid panel done yesterday and started taking iodine drops. I'll go back to the doc in 2 months to see what happens. My doc wasn't supportive, but told me she could only reccomend what's been medically proven and that if I'm taking a natural path approach, that I should look into a different doc who's more knowledgeable about it. It's hard to find a good one, but I'll get started of finding one.
Followup?? Did your TSH inexplicably go up? Mine did after 30 days which I read was normal at first since there actually raw materials available now - my free T3 and Free T4 were in the very low side of normal and no antibodies- also tremendously upped by D3 to help the T4 to T3 conversion and stop any autoimmune attacks
Dr Bright has spoken of seaweed in other interviews. I thought so, too, but she has spoken of how everywhere is depleted of iodine including the ocean. Also seaweed is high in oxalates.
Hi Judy..Thank you for bringing iodine to my attention. I bought a bottle of 2% Lougal a while back but I was afraid to take it. I take 60 mg of NP Thyroid daily. Although I am carnivore I have low energy and depression. My Dr. gave me a T3 back in February and I had a terrible reaction to it. Was sent to ER. They thought I was having a stroke. My Dr. said he had never seen anything like it. I am much better. I'm 75 and have always been blessed with good health. I took 2 drops of iodine this morning. I'm wondering if I will have any reaction. Thank you for listening.
I have been doing 3 drops of iodine on top of my coffee for several months and won't go without it. And!!!! My gut is SO much better after the month supply of your probiotic gut healing kit, Judy!! Will order another kit when I have the extra funds. Huge!!!! Thank you!!
Wow this took me too long to find this video but it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear!!! I was looking at some other folks talking about iodine but no one broke it down like Dr.Bright - makes SOOOOOO much sense - starting my iodine today - thank you both!!!
Hold up. August 7th 2023. I had a 16x12cm demoird cist removed by C-section along with one ovary and two tubes. You mean to tell me i could have just taken iodine and it would have went away?
I’ve never been diagnosed so just taking for general use mine is in algae not medical form I think I am in sterling health. 79 still big exercising 2 miles jog every morning more step racing 8-10 miles. I’ve been a Carnivore for three years. Never considered it might be problem…..
there are scientific claims that iodine has remarkable anti-cancer properties. an important point: does iodine work against not just endocrine tumors/cancers but any type of 'common' and rare tumors/cancers (eg. teratomas, solitary fibrous tumors, bone cancer, brain tumors, etc.) regardless of size/cause/location/prevalence/incidence/severity, especially as all tumors and cancers share the same growth-spread pathways and mechanisms...?
I would very much like to know what Dr. Bright thinks about iodine supplementation for those with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, many studies indicate that it is harmful and causes oxidative stress to the thyroid.
From what I’ve read, it seems like small doses of iodine (micrograms) will worsen Hashimoto’s, but larger doses, in the milligrams like they talked about in the video, will actually reduce the antibodies and heal Hashimoto’s
@@fromspace7 Really? That's interesting. I sure would like to have the help of an experienced provider walk me through this, because my antibodies have shot up, and I'm only taking one drop per day. And 10 drops per day (25mg) caused a sore throat and difficulty swallowing.
My daughter goes from test seeming hypo, and sometimes hyper thyroid issues, she has heavy menses, and now bleeding for days and days between periods. They gave her some hormone but not helping and she has migraine issues so they didn't want to giver her any other hormones. Maybe they gave her progesterone. Not helping. I want her to get good help but no one is figuring her out. I had have same problems of no one helps now I'm old and so sick. I had diagnosed with low thyroid, in my family too, so was my husband.
@@akseverson thanks, I meant I had have things where try to get help but never a good solution so it just goes on. I have the iodine. My daughters heavy periods now bleeding all the time, her losing energy racing heart, migraine type problems, were not my symptoms. All the diet things she's been told didn't help her so she's pretty much done listening to that advice
Your poor baby, definitely have her go carnivore until her hormones get regular then she can add fruit if she wants. No need to but kids love fruit. Also make sure she gets lots of healthy animal fats. I feed my son only meat and fruit, he’s 13 and before I changed his diet he was getting lots of acne. My husband said it’s normal because he had it and still gets lots of acne well guess what it’s not normal. I changed his diet and his face cleared up immediately. It’s all the processed food that is messing up our hormones.
I started taking iron pills when on my period because I would bleed excessively.. sometimes 3 months long. Start with one day 3 iron pills the next day 2 and each day of bleeding 1 pill. She will notice a huge difference. I also started using cloth pads because the chemicals in the store pads are so toxic actually induse more bleeding
I have grave's disease. All the information says do not take iodine with grave's disease. What does Dr Bright think? Yes or No to iodine for grave's patients?
I don't think the answer is carnivore, at least not permanently. The blue zone centenarian people who live to be over 100 are eating low meat.. Like twice a week on average. Iodine is fat soluble so that might be why it appears to work better with carnivore, as virtually all meats have fat. But you can for example just squirt some healthy olive oil on some lentils and then add the drops of iodine.
I had radio-active iodine in 2006. I'm on 100mcg levothyroxine. I've never felt the same since. I have fibro, cfs, menooausal symptoms, breast cysts and tenderness, cyst on my left ovary and polyp in my cervix. Post-menooausal bleed. My uterine lining is 5mm. I'm having a biopsy next week. I've started carnivore. I'm wondering if I could benefit from taking Lugols iodine?
Thank you very much for all this information I have a question if you take iodine drops how can you take them but selenium can you show a video on that because I am confused about this information
I had a normal TSH of 1.92 March1st (started Carnivore Jan 1st), started taking Lugol's Iodine 5% 2 drops and my TSH shot to 5.18 April 23rd - now I have Subclinical Hypothyroidism???
According to Dr. Brownstein, this is an expected result. It rises naturally for a few months or so. Find the videos with iodine and Dr. Brownstein and you will see how he explains this. This is typical and normal once you start supplementing with iodine levels eventually go back to normal.
@@CG-mj8tk no it did not help a bit. Used 50 mg for 3 months, gradual increase of dose. Dint help. It reduces estrogen. So I started getting acne. For those whose fibroids are due to estrogen dominance, heavy bleeding, for them it might help. Mine are not due to estrogen dominance. My estrogen is on lower side with scanty bleeding. Too low I think.
A few years ago I tried the Lugols iodine 2 percent. I worked my way up to 6 drops. I felt great. After a couple of weeks I got slurred speech and my BP went up. I went to the ER feeling like I had ( from others describing it) a stroke or mini strokes. Nothing showed up on the tests. I have been afraid of iodine because of this. I tried a smaller amount and still had reaction. I finally got some that is 50 micro grams per drop. I am now on 8 drops per day. I do have symptoms hypo thyroid. I'm not sure what happened but now my husband is scared to death of iodine.
I heard her say on another interview that Lugols is the best. She nixed kelp because of the crap in the ocean and the tablets are also not pure. Just take a look at the other ingredients list on the bottles. Yuck.
What your body doesn’t need of Lugols, you will pee out. I would throw out everything else and stick with 5% Lugols. At two drops a day, it would last you about 300 days. 10 cents a day. That’s a great deal.
@@MacGregor9488 If you haven't found any still, J. Crow is Dr. Bright's recommended brand. They have 5% bottles, but they apparently sell them only on their own website, 30$ a pop. Otherwise, it's very easy to make yourself and far cheaper, if you remember even a little bit from your high school chemistry class. You just need distilled water, pure potassium iodide, and pure elemental iodine. Mix them together is a glass jar in the correct proportions to yield your own 5% solution. Then put the jar away in a dark spot for 24 hours. Done!
Very interesting. I tried titrating up to 10 drops of Lugol's 2% (=25mg) but I noticed my voice started sounding quite hoarse, swallowing felt difficult, and my TSH, TPO, and TAb all increased. Judy, does anyone else's thyroid antibodies increase with iodine, maybe temporarily and then decrease back to normal range? I'm 95% carnivore for 3 years. Maybe I'm just full of the other halides?
My TSH went up to 9.5 from about 3- but just on iodine for 30 days and temp went slowly up to normal in the 4th week and mega Ds so no thyroid antibodies due to the D
2 drops a day in glass of water according to Dr Elizabeth Bright interview with ‘Steak and Butter Gal’ - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5ga1j7TZeE0.htmlsi=2iu7XghDyVeVX3Xu
Lugol's Iodine Solution Chart Milligrams of Iodine per Drop: 5% --> 6.25 mg x 2 drops = 12.5 mg 2% --> 2.50 mg x 5 drops = 12.5 mg 12.5 mg of iodine should be the minimum this is from Lynne Farrow's book
So I have a form of iodine that is nascent Buy a brand named global healing Centre. It’s quite a potent extract I’m just wondering if anyone has information about using this form of iodine Thank you
Pls tell me if i should take iodine when i had benign breast fibroadenoma and benign thyroid nodule. That's all i know. My dr at that time didnt check my hormon level so i dont know i am low or high on thyroid hormone. But i have been feeling exhausted , tired , and shortness of breath with many other strange symtoms (headache, abdominal pain) for years. Pls help me if i should use iodine.
If you don’t get iodine in your diet, you will eventually develop thyroid problems, as well as problems with the breasts and eventually breast cancer (in men prostate)
2 drops a day in water preferably first thing in morning according to Dr Bright interview with ‘Steak and Butter Gal’ - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5ga1j7TZeE0.htmlsi=2iu7XghDyVeVX3Xu
2 drops is maintenance dosage, as in if you're thyroid is already healthy and well-functioning. If you're iodine depleted and you thyroid is messed up, you'll likely need more than that for awhile. And those 2 drops are of 5% Lugol's solution. 2% Lugol's has less than half the concentration of iodine, so you would need to take more than double the amount if that's what you have.
My granddaughter had an 8cm cyst removed along with one of her ovaries, when she was 6 and her remaining ovary has many small cysts. Would you recommend iodine for her - she’s now 11, and her mum is worried about her mensies being very difficult for her
It can jump back and forth between hypo and hyper. I watched Dr Brownstein on a Dr Berry video. IMO just start with 1 drop per day for a week and see how you feel. That is better than starting really high and dealing with symptoms of detox. I don't mind the taste, so I just use a shotglass of water and one drop. If two drops fall in some days, oh well. No matter.

@@amandafuller7206 sorry it's not a brand. LUGOL'S is an aqueous solution containing Iodine 5%, and potassium iodide 10%, w/v (LUGOL's Solution). LUGOL's is a transparent liquid with a deep brown color and the odor of iodine.
@@NutritionwithJudy she asked for natural sources in which I assumed was a question of food sources with higher iodine content. Lugol's and iodine protocol are great but some people want it in their food, too.
Did a 24 hour iodine test came back at 62% what is the ideal level? What is it supposed to be at? I can only find 2% iodine, so does that mean I’m taking five drops instead of two drops of the 5%?
Yes, she says the minimum dose is 5 drops of 2% lugols iodine But I think I remember her saying to work up to that amount. Like start with 1 or 2 drops for a week, then add another drop or 2
