IODINE: Essential or Dangerous? Why You Need Iodine? How Much?

- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- Do I need Iodine? Iodine is a very important element. You will suffer if you don't have enough of it in your diet. Although some think it dangerous, iodine is actually essential to normal human life. Without enough of it you suffer, either a little or a lot.
It's hard to get enough iodine in your diet, but it is essential to optimize thyroid function and the function of numerous other glands. What is it and what does it do? Where does it come from and how much do you need?

It's amazing that we don't put iodine back in the soils but we put Fluoride in the water.
I read that flouride is a by product of aluminum processing. I wonder if that is true.
@@gramzy1895yeah I heard that too, wouldn't surprise me in the least, our governments do not care about our health at all!
They put it in salt.
Fluoride is a waste product
@@gramzy1895 It's byproduct of making synthethic fertilizers, they didn't know how to get rid of "flouric acid" as it's extremely toxic, so they said, why not just put it in drinking water... Result of that is more stupid population (yes FLOURIDE lowers IQ, scientifically proven, dozens of studies), and it also causes decline of health (again elites / big pharma win)...
*Iodine is required for one of the steps in apoptosis: programmed cell death, in which a cell that recognizes its DNA has been damaged, will kill itself to keep you from developing cancer.* Iodine deficiency is associated particularly with all cancers of the reproductive system, but especially with breast cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. The Japanese have the highest intake of iodine and the lowest incidence of all those cancers. The people of Iceland used to have the second lowest rates, but then, around 1982, mega-agri-business stepped in and sold the farmers there on feeding cattle industrial pellets instead of the traditional kelp. The iodine level in their systems plummeted and Icelandic cancer rates soared to match those of the US and Western Europe. *Iodine in the blood stream and lymphatic system also acts as a whole-body antiseptic.*
After coming across this months ago, I was stunned that I’d never heard anything about iodine and breast pain. I’ve suffered extreme breast tenderness with PMS since I was a teen and I’m now in my 40’s. There were times I’d wear a sports bra over a regular bra because it was so painful. This had happened for 10 to 14 days a month since puberty. I don’t think anyone ever took me seriously when I said how painful it was. I started supplementing with 3 drops of iodine a day and it’s completely resolved. It’s amazing. I suffered for three decades because I never found this information anywhere and no doctor ever addressed it. I cannot thank you enough. It’s literally life changing.
Oh 😯 wow, I am so happy to hear that iodine has brought this relief 🙏 to you. It sure makes a huge difference for so many people in different ways.
Omg me too I have breast pain!
How did you use the iodine for your breast pain? Did you apply it to the breast directly ?
@@alyssacruz9686 Take food grade iodine by mouth.
I am experiencing the same thing and going to add in iodine. Thank you for your testimony
I had a goiter & it was growing fast. My doctor wanted to schedule surgery. I had been using the new salts that came out instead of good old Morton Salt with iodine plus was not putting salt on my foods because of high blood pressure. I researched everything & being low in iodine was key. I simply started putting good old Morton iodized salt on my food and SERIOUSLY it was gone in less then a month. Taking iodine supplements now everyday. My endocrinologist refused to give me anything to shrink it he insisted on surgery. Needless to say I will continue my research & self care before ever going under the knife. How simple a solution he didn’t give a shi t about what taking my thyroid out & the after effects would be for me. He couldn’t have cared less about me. Thank you Dr Ken for helping people learn how to heal naturally which will save them from surgery’s & long term medical problems. ❤
Did you have like a general thyroid enlargement or did you also have nodules? I have a multinodular goiter so i am wondering if my problem could also be an iodine deficiency. I also have cysts in my ovaries.
Dr. Ken D Berry's book Lies My Doctor Told Me (highly recommended) says salt will not elevate blood pressure on page 138.
I had a goiter the entire thyroid was growing…..
Glad that you didn't listen to your doctor. It was obviously only about the money for him.
UR Dr dont make bank by telling you to take table salt....
"There are people who thought they had Fibromyalgia and it's actually an iodine deficiency."
Wow, I think that was me. Was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I had slow thyroid function (but normal tsh numbers), had a nodular goiter, always cold, was over weight you name it. Meanwhile my doc suggested surgery to remove my thyroid and not iodine/iodide. I had no idea. Thankfully fasting and weight loss has mostly removed those issues.
We're they diagnosed with fibromyalgia? My best friend has that and lupus E.
Even if they met most of criteria for fibromialgia?
The nerves and nervous system also require good amounts of the proper fats along with cholesterol to function correctly.
I have a friend that was diagnosed with that and iodine seemed to cure it for her. Have not heard of any other issues since.
I think this video is... berry informative
Kippy 🤣😂🤣
He Ken do better...
Berry good, Sir.
That's his Keto success
Love your videos. To the point. Easy for the lay person to understand
I had a problem with loosing weight. I started to eat sardines, mackerel and cod liver in its own oil (Icelandic). This was the only change I made and the weight started to drop. I saw results almost every day. It made a huge difference. For the record I have been doing mostly carnivore diet and some fasting. (I am female in my 50's)
Love the iCAN cod liverrrr yummy! I get it by case on amazon ❤
I've been doing keto. First two
Times I did it--years apart of course--it really worked and if I slacked and the weight came back, I could be strict again
But I've been strictly keto for quite a while with very few cheats, maybe some chocolate now and again. But this latest time it's not working for me. And I haven't had much of a taste for fish lately. But I will add the sardines and mackerel and cod liver, all of which I have in the cabinet.😂 I hope that works.
BBQ sardines olive oil and vinagre. … yummy
Amazing isn't it. Eating that way, I lose a pound a day. Literally! And I feel wonderful, energy abounds me it's really amazing. And I've lost weight before in my life. But this time you can tell I have lost literal pockets of fat I have begun to get an amazing shape, without exercise my muscle definition is incredible
Thx, I have it in my prepping supply and always forget to eat it. I’ll have it often, thx.
Omg you said chronic cold hands. My husband and son have that. No one has ever said they need iodine. It was, you have a circulation problem. Thank you, Doctor Berry.
In addition make sure you have adequate levels of Vitamin D. That's what helped me with cold hands. I also had cold thighs with I fixed with drinking way too much chocolate collagen powder! Crazy story but true. I was sleeping with pajamas on for 40 years because my legs were always cold. Then by accident I fixed it because I got addicted to eating chocolate collagen powder with milk.
Some berries are keto friendly. This Berry is super keto friendly.
Good pun
And carnivore friendly too!

So government put iodine artificially into table salt, and then told us that salt is the primary reason for high blood pressure and to reduce our salt consumption, when it is SUGAR in all its forms we should avoid.
Talk about stupidity... 🙄
Surely fruit is good, full of antioxidants.

@@Chris-kr7gg No, the bad outweighs the good on fruit. Cut the carbs, period. Eat mostly animal fat and meat, very few carbs. The BP will come down, the weight will come down, and the smiles will go up.

I have had hashimotos for 20 years. Had horrible fatigue despite normal labs and medications. I have tried everything... I started taking iodine drops 10 days ago! I am a new person!!!! I feel normal again......thanks you!
hi laura, which brand do you like? I have fatigue too
Do you still take the med after taking iodine drops?
@@huairenye3620 yes

Hi I've been reading you shouldn't take if you have Hashimoto's but I'm super fatigued and desperately want to try anything! How are you still finding it?
I started menapause recently. Hair fell out in clumps . Hot flushes like crazy. Sleepless nights. Sore joints. No energy.
Came across the following in my you tube researched and BOOM 🙌🙌🙌. Not one of those symptoms anymore. Almost immediately hot flushes stopped. Hair loss slowed down and has grown much thicker. Can literally count the strands I loose now on one hand. Sleeping through and no sore joints.
Iodine 20ml ( mix with a little water)
Selenium 75mg
Iron 80mg
Magnesium 80mg
Even started spraying my scalp with iodine once a week. Kills any fungus that attacked the hair at the surface of the scalp due to lack of iodine which was part of the reason why it fell out.
Praise God 🙌
Hello. What kind of selenium and iodine do you took? Pls reply thank you. I have hypothyroidism nodules.. my Dr said I need selenuim and iodine.
Are you sure you take 20ml daily? Is this a concentrated solution like Lugol's? Seems a lot .... But if it works for you great.
Might want to add some tetra borate( 11% boron by weight) will make your achy joints disappear
I’m 48 and my hair has been falling out really noticeably since I have been carnivore. It’s horrible just comes out when o put my hands through it and wash it. I’m lucky because I have lots of hair but I hate it falling out so soooo much
@@helenalovelock1030 5g frequency. It's happening to everyone ( hair falling out)
Just to put this out there: for about a year and a half I was taking between 8-20 drops of 5% Lugol's every day. The only "bad" effect I ever had was that my throat would feel a bit scratchy sometimes, and then I would cut back for a while and that would go away.
The good effects that I had were a significant increase in mental sharpness, better short term and long term memory, and much better dream recall. I had hoped for an increase in energy and for my hair to stop shedding so much, and it didn't do either of those things for me, so I eventually stopped taking it.
Now I take 6 drops of 2% Lugol's three times a week.
If you're scared to take iodine, just remember that a scratchy throat will usually be the first harmless sign that you have enough and can lower your dose. It would be very hard to "overdose" unless you were ignoring what your body is telling you.
Lugol's tastes nasty and iodine is also a surgical disinfectant. So you most likely were killing the good protective bacteria in the back of your throat, too, hence the scratchy, painful throat. That is why most people prefer the pill form. Lugols is usually only used when sneaking it to toddler or a grandma who refuses to take another pill.
1. Also be sure your selenium intake is 200-800 mcg/day if low on thyroid production (fatigue, cold hand & feet, thinning eyebrow ends, forgetfulness, body temp typically in the 97s) is a problem. Doctors test the pituitary's TSH and miss 30% of nutrition-based thyroid issues.

@@susanjamieson6450 I took 5% Lugol's iodine five days a week for a year, applying it to my stomach, nails, throat, and everywhere else, and it worked really well for me. My hair started growing back, and I had one thyroid nodule and fibroids due to iodine deficiency after childbirth. The nodule completely disappeared, and I was left with one fibroid. However, at the end of the year, I developed large lymph nodes in my throat, under my jaw, and around my ears, as well as near the trachea. I experience a burning sensation in my throat whenever Lugol's iodine touches it. It swells more and never goes down. It seems to have happened just as you mentioned, killing good bacteria and allowing bad ones to multiply, probably causing an infection in my salivary glands. I have used many antibiotics, but it never goes away. And in the last three months, five thyroid nodules suddenly appeared. We also applied 2% Lugol's iodine to my son and had him gargle with it, and he developed black rashes on his legs, his teeth decayed, white lines appeared on his nails, and his throat lymph nodes became very hard. We can't use iodine anymore as we are afraid of it, but at the same time, whenever we use any chlorinated disinfectants, some probiotics, antioxidants like NAC, or anti-inflammatory substances like serrapeptase, our throat lymph nodes swell up uncontrollably, and none of the doctors can understand it. I am very afraid of surgery and getting cancer. Would L-carnitine or anything else help? Is there anyone else going through the same situation as me? Please help us, what should we do? Please!!!!!
@@susanjamieson6450 I take 60 to 80 mg of the Lugol's formula a day in lemon water (the lemon hides any taste), basically 15 drops of 2% in a full glass of lemon water twice a day and have never had scratchy throat. But a few weeks after I went up from 5 mg a day my heart arrhythmia went away.
I have been on a liver detox regimen for several years, maybe that's why I've seen zero adverse effects.
I've been taking 1 droop per day per Dr. Berry's recommendation, and my thyroid is normal on my recent blood work. Thanks for the info.
@@susanjamieson6450 Exactly...dairy blocks mineral absorption. Thanks.
Thank You So Much Dr. Berry! I have cystic breasts & so always had Mammogram plus Ultrasound. This year I was told to come back because they weren't sure about a growth. I saw your video & started with Lugol's Iodine, 2 drops daily, a month before my 2nd Mammogram & Ultrasound. Now they could see & said it was a benign cyst. The cysts have shrunk/disappeared so much that I no longer have painful breasts. None of my Yale U doctors ever suggested this.

It was my Dog who taught me about " Iodine Deficiency ", YES, you heard it right a DOG!!! It was him and I limping up and down our stairs that lead me to research.... Foot / Heel Pain which leads me to "IODINE". I'm happy to report that my Dog and I are AOK now, using Iodine supplements in our Water.

Not only do we not get told about iodine in school but our doctors don’t say a word about it either. I have never in my life had a doctor that told me anything about iodine. So thank you very much for this video.
Are out of your mind of course the majority won’t mention it, that’s a big no no for the the pharmaceutical world, a very sad world we live in
The medical industry has become the enemy of the people. No money to be made making people healthy.
Same here, regarding the doctors
Started taking myself
They don’t get told about it either
I have a rare chronic type of thyroid cancer. To treat it I had to starve myself of iodine, I felt like hell. Unfortunately, the treatment didn’t get all of it and I needed to back in now and then for additional treatment and for an entire decade my cancer team wanted me to strictly limit iodine. From 2012-2022. Most people didn’t even know what iodine what and that it was in salt. It was a real pain. Glad to be back among the iodine living. 🎉
I’m so sick of “expert” misinformation!!! If the majority of the Media weren’t so ignorant and incompetent, we’d all be a lot healthier!! Thanks 🙏🏻
Bambi Forester I never pay attention to what the human capitalist created FDA says.
The word is... MONEY $$$$
Bambi Forester amen
You need to learn what you can from people like Dr. Berry, that seem to think about what they do and think for themselves. Ultimately make your own decisions with good info. I take whay the majority of MDs say with a grain of salt as the majority are unfortunately not very smart and simply memorize whay they are told. They are like tech support for you computer now. 99% have no clue what they are doing they just run through a color coded cheat sheet to solve mosy likely scenarios and prescribe a drug. Dr Berry seems like he is studying the source of the problem rather than blindly prescribing the recommended drug to mask your symptoms and wreak havoc on something else creating a money making domino effect.
Micah AP
Good points Micah! Thanks 🙏🏻
I had a doctor tell me, iodine is old fashioned. I didn't go back to that doctor.
Cliff Notes of this & more:
1. Dr. David Brownstein, MD wrote The Book on Iodine. It even helped saved his dad's ailing heart. Read it.
2. RDA was developed in the 1920s to prevent goiter when a slice of bread also had 150 mcg. as a leavening agent. People ate a lot of bread & butter and sandwichss back then, so their average intake was also a lot higher than now. Now bread often has bromine (a fungicide) instead.
3. The best test for an iodine deficiency is swallowing 50mg (4 pills) then seeing how much is not absorbed by the body and peed out over the next 24 hrs. It should be over 45mg.
4. Body typically needs 3-5mg/day, per extended studies. Teenage girls need a LOT when breasts are developing.
5. People exposed to radiation (xrays, CT scan) or who have any issue with the endocrine system [any '-itis' (inflammation) nodules l, or cysts) thyroid, breasts, overies, prostate] should try taking 50 mg (12.5mg x 4) per day for 1-3 months, until symptoms subside, then 1/day for maintenence.
6. Low iodine is often the cause of infertilty issues.
7. Iodine is used in almost every cell in the body. A deficiency makes the body try to MacGyver another halide cousin (such as fluoride) in its place, and those are toxic, so the immune system encapsulates it. When combined with a common semi-dormant HHV-family toxin-excreting virus, it can then sit in its excrement & either die or go cancerous.
8. 2% Iodide in iodized Table Salt (40/60 Sodium Chloride) was recently found to compete with the chloride and be absorbed poorly. Hence the falling fertility rates, weight gains, breast & health problems, etc.
9. Swallowed Thyroid meds are broken down into iodine & selenium in the gut, thus often 'stop working' after the severe deficiency is treated and natural production has been suppressed for months. Take them sublingually, and randomly to minimize addiction, then wean off under your doctor's supervision while continuing the Iodoral/eq and +200 mcg selenium/day, but
I have a 2cm nodule as well. How long did it take before yours went away? I’m considering taking Lugols.
One observation from me........don't start this on an empty stomach. Beat any cleansing routine I have tried......
Doctor Berry, Iodine is in the Halogen atomic group. The other element members include Fluorine, Chlorine and Bromine. Your body has Iodine receptors for Iodine uptake. If you are Iodine-deficient, your Iodine receptors will grab other members in the Halogen group, so you can get Chlorine or Bromine or Fluorine replacing the Iodine, which can cause pronounced health problems. Examples of Iodine competitors in your environment: chlorinated water (swimming, drinking, bathing, showering), brominated SOFT DRINKS (Mountain Dew, etc.), and fluoride in the water. These are far more abundant in your diet than any sources of Iodine. That is why you NEED an Iodine supplement daily, to counter these competitors and provide the iodine supply you need. Iodized salt is not enough. My catch-up dose is 250mg of Lugol’s iodine per day. I will need to do this for at least 6 months every day. At dosing time, I also take 100mcg of Selenium, and 1/2 teaspoon of Sea salt in a cup of distilled water (Redmond’s Real Salt is my favorite.) You must take salt to avoid nausea as the salt flushes out bromine from your body. Remember to take SELENIUM every time you take iodine. If you don’t, the T4 won’t be converted into T3 in yourThyroid gland which can be a problem!
Mark!!! You deserve top honors. Best info I’ve found on this subject. Screen shot for foreverness
@@walkinaxyl exactly! I did a screenshot too. Thank you so very much!
What about the heavy metals you getting with that Redmond salt?
Careful on the lugols drops. Not enough causes all these problems, but so does took much. I have seen it happen. So your right but too much drops a day will Cause the same problems we're trying to negate.
I just wanted to throw that out there. Thanks
@@Drivenwithambition don’t know if there is any heavy metals but no modern plastics is a positive.
I read years ago that the FDA actually lowered recommendations for what we need. Keeps us at the bottom. This justifies our need for pharma needs for pharma meds
I thought they had upped it?! But of course, I can’t remember bc my memory stinks due to my iodine deficiency!
yup
Evil FDA. I don’t trust them anymore
Most three-letter agencies are full of bad intent. The FDA is one of those agencies. CDC, CIA, FBI, NSA, DHS are a few more.
I heard they had raised it several times, but it makes sense that pharma would want it low. They love to sell their drugs.
The “doctors” don’t want us to discover how good Iodine is, because it could hurt their business. The last person I will ask about iodine is a regular doctor, because they are ignorant of supplements.
Isn’t it awful that so many people don’t trust doctors anymore. Me being one of them
@@laurenandreatta2003 Nothing awful about it, we are waking up and sick and tired of being sick and tired! My doctor knows I just come in for testing. I decline mammograms, (she actually asked me what I will do WHEN I get breast cancer!!!), meds all the time. I choose organic/natures way allowing the body to do its thing and heal itself. I am 70 and feel great. I will add the sardines in to my daily diet since I have a ton of them in the cabinet. I will pick up the other items you eat. Can't wait to see how my body reacts. Thank you for posting.
Apparently Mercury depletes iodine from the body too so if anyone has dental amalgams, they should take extra iodine.
When I started working in a restaurant about a year later I went to the doctor and was put on thyroid meds.
I was eating at the restaurant during work 5 days a week, no iodine in salt, too much pasta and not much fish.
Started supplementing iodine, never took the thyroid meds. My thyroid function has been normal since.
My feet and hands have been cold for years now and my doctor never said anything about iodine. Thanks Doc
He’s absolutely right about taking iodine and breast fibroids disappearing! I’m a witness to that!
Honestly, hearing someone talk with this much passion - could make anything interesting.
I can attest to the psychological benefits of iodine also. When I take Iodine I have zero depression. When I don’t take iodine, depression is overwhelming.
I hear ya. I've suffered from depression for years. I tried everything, from therapy to meditation to juicing to you-name-it. Started iodine (along with several recommended supplements) and, within a few days, the depression was gone. This really is amazing stuff.
Hello,
How many mg of iodine do you take?
@@Lisa-ng5cp How many iodine do you take? When you said few weeks, Could exactly tell me how many?
Taking iodine (Detoxadine, a nascient iodine), I was able to stop taking thyroid meds (Armour) after 10 years. In the beginning when I was trying to wean off thyroid meds I took 4 to 5 drops per day but now I take one drop several times a week. My diet also has adequate iodine in it. I find when I take more that I don't sleep and sometimes have a rapid heart beat. Each person has to learn to listen to their own body and regulate. :)
Change and how one eats . plus for getting what we took in the past. Selenium they push hard with iodine. it works better for me with out the selenium . i tried selenium and did not like the effects. i may have had well enough Selenium.
Querry, I've heard others say stay away from this form. Why do you take this form over others?
What thyroid problem did you have?
I am hypo, does it regulate either way, high levels vs low?
@Terri Godfrey did you ever discover why you had a rapid heartbeat? Every now and again I do and I'm taking nascient iodine - detoxadine) I'm slow walking it though because my thyroid levels were classified as "normal" despite having a goiter so large it's grown behind my clavicle. The rapid heartbeat is a little troubling but it's sporadic and short-lived. I'm just wondering what your (my) body is saying.....
I'm using it, too, but just intermittently. I've barely used it (3 drops on my wrist) about once a month. My thyroid numbers are considered normal (even though not yet optimal).
My endocrinologist describes the Thyroid as 'The conductor of the orchestra.' A great description I think.
Dr Berry, from what I have been learning,iodine may be the most important element our body needs as well as animal FAT. Not the kind that comes from any plant including coconut or olive oil. Please continue to educate more on iodine.
Based in the UK, I’ve been watching Ken Berry for a couple of years - the NHS has made us lazy over taking care of our own health, Dr Berry is a great source of information for those of us who value and take care of our own health.
oh come on, you cant blame end services for basic health. Pharma makes people lazy and the lack of nutritional ed for GPs is a huge factor. Ignorance is the result of human laziness
It's a chicken & egg problem sire. Lack of quality nutrition causing laziness or the reverse.
The NHS UK have substandard Medical & Nursing Staff in 2022..The real knowledgable Nurses & Physicians Surgeons have now retired. NHS has been SOLD off, thats why we have an International Healthservice, made up of the Foreigner.
@@godislove8740 I am sure @Ian Dennis means that you can contact a GP or rock up to A&E for any medical complaint, and all it will cost you is the price of a prescription. Because the NHS is easily accessible, it does make you a bit lazy.

Is the kelp connected with my T3 AND my diarrhea ????? I am holding my breath !❤️
Great video, as always!! I wish I had known about iodine when I was pregnant… but at least I know now! Thank you for keeping us informed in the space where other medical doctors would rather us be kept in the dark!! 🎉❤
Just remember with liquid iodine to use drops, not droppersful!
Thanks for the great video!
I know some one who does that I told him take it easy but he thinks it's good a lot of it so I don't know
Good point thanks
Yes drop. Good to mention.
my iodine came with high reviews-there are NO instructions on how MUCH to take per day. there are increments on the dropper-but I dont know still how much to use and how many times a day-google has several different answers...
BULL
Your content should be a standard curriculum in every school
What a great post. Thank you!
Good video. Cheers Dr Barry
I give this exact speech to every one of my patients! We lived in Monterey CA for over 11y then moved (my practice) to CO. SO many women with the same symptoms made me do a deep dive into research-iodine, Se and Vitamin D (K2)- we are SOO deficient once we leave the coast. Iodine is in the air also near the sea/ocean.
Se = selenium
Agreed I saw it in us.
I live 20 miles from the California coast and I was recently found to be severely iodine deficient
@@WashedinHisblood Lugols.
@@WashedinHisblood And, come to think of it, if you don’t find things like kelp help raise your iodine levels enough, you can take about 2/3 of a dropper full of Lugols iodine Safely. I saw a doctor on the net talking about how much iodine was given to patients having heart surgery, about that much, and it did them no harm.
Thank you, perfect timing.
Thank you for this information.
Love your videos! Thank you very much!
I like how you have your advertising at the end of the video and not the beginning. And thank you for the information.
I took care of my mother for 6 months while she was dieing of cancer. Had to wake up 6 times per night for 10 minutes to help her. Within that time I got heavy sleep deprivation, very depressed, very ill -malnourished, so much so that I lost a decent amount of hair, and was so cold that my teeth chattered at night- I would use 4 covers and it never helped. After she died, my symptoms got worse, so I read up on a lot of things and found that iodine was associated with being cold, hair loss, etc. I started taking it and within a week or so started having major heart palpatations and extremely pale and weak. So one day I had to go to the ER for it from work. My brother asked if there was anything that I had recently started taking- I told him 'sea kelp', he told me to stop taking it and within two days I was back to normal. Thereafter, I went to a naturopathic dr. and told him about it, he said that some people overdose on iodine and will always be sensitive to it thereafter. I was, and 35 yrs later, I still am. In fact, I'm so sensitive that my neck will sting on my right side when I take anything that even resembles iodine from those sources. At times, all I have to do is read the small print at the base of the bottle to see what it was derived from. I don't have that reaction to actually eating sea fish, or sea salt. From my experience, I believe you can take too much, just because my body is consistent in it's reactions. Thanks Dr berry!- LOVE your videos and you have helped me greatly! 👍
I love that you provide links to the research!! Thank you for all the work you put into these videos!!
Thank you for sharing this.
Great detailed information, thanks!
Great great video. Informative, interesting, clear . Enjoyed it
Bromide in the form of BVO (brominated vegetable oil ,banned in other countries ) is still being used , in the US , in some cola and sports drinks(usually citrus fruit mixes because it keeps the fruit suspended in the solution so it doesn't settle to the bottom) :Bromine interferes with our bodies uptake of iodine because it is in the same chemical class and it vies for the receptor sites for iodine in our thyroid and this leads to an iodine deficiency ..Take care what you drink!!
Yes and many years ago iodine was added to flour. As a result all baked goods had iodine. Then someone in the USA got the bright 🤔 idea to switch to bromine instead of iodine . Only King Arthur flours and any organic flour are not. brominated.
Great information!
Great video, thank you so much!
Congratulations on expecting a little one!
This is a great video I love the videos that you have on the different vitamin deficiencies. I honestly had no idea how important and vital these things could be I am like a Squawk Box telling everybody I know thank you so much
Thank you so much Dr. Berry.
This is a berry informative post thank you
Late to the video but not your book. I work in healthcare and I really appreciate your Amiodarone example. I’ve given it as a bolus in Emergencies many times and had no idea about the actual iodine amount contained. I really appreciate your delivery and your courage to shine light where the industry isn’t looking or doesn’t want to look. Thank you.
This is a good guy.
Thanks, Doc.
Excellent video!

Wonderful info, I have been waiting for this Iodine video!

You have served us conscientiously and well, in allegiance to your Oath, with your due diligence in researching this topic. Thank you, Dr. Berry. New sub.
Thank you so much, just what I needed right now
Thank you Dr. Berry for all the videos you make. You are a blessing to my family. Speaking of family, congratulations 🎉to you and Mrs. Berry!!! May God continue to bless you and your growing family.
Oh my goodness Dr. Berry, I never knew this before. I need this in my diet so bad. I'm depleted of this mineral I guess. Thank you so much.
I just found your page today and I am so thankful. I'm already sharing your information and video's with family and friends, thank you for giving your time so openly and freely your knowledge 😘
Great info. Thanks Sir.
Dr. Berry, can you do a video on removing oxidized cholesterol?
My wife and I have had some arguments about what is acceptable on keto. We have finally decided that if Dr. Berry says it's okay, We will accept that as gospel!!! Thanks, Dr. Barry
I love Dr ken Berry's videos as and advice, but even he will tell you to do your own research. There is now a great community of doctors that are in the same or close to the same medical philosophy. Really kind of depends on where you are at also. Ken has had many good interviews with other doctors also on the cutting edge of real research based studies and practices.
Dr Berry, clear and informative as usual 👏👏👏❤️🇬🇧
Great video! 💜
Thanks for this much needed information I came across you and your videos June 26 22
so that day I started carnivore diet I'm type 2 diabetic on glipizide 10 ml x 2 a day I stopped taking it on the Jun 29 cause my glucose went down from 190's to 122 on 28th and 102 on 29th and I been staying in 120's in the mornings when I check it
On the night of July 5th I took one tap to see what would happen when I woke I checked my blood and it was 76 the strange thing was I wasn't in a cold sweat or had that bad feeling that I normally had when the glipizide would drop me down in the 70's on days i was ingesting as many carbs as normal and I would eat something sweet to bring it up I just ate eggs and bacon 🥓 next blood check was 124 so I haven't taken any glipizide any more and since my blood glucose has been 124, 122, 103, and then124 and 111 on the 10th of July and that night which was last night I ate before going
to sleep some lunch meat, turkey and cheese and 2 ounces of cashews and pecans "opps i slipped up" and today my blood was 140 so should I take 5 ml of glipizide a day or just stay off of it since I have weaned myself off of it I haven't told my Doctor yet. But I can't believe those few carbs run my sugar up to 140
Dr Berry since following you I have heard things from you that I haven't heard from my doctor and it has rung my bell, opened my eyes and I thank you for it and thank you for your passion to want to help us live a healthier life 😊 blessings to you and your family, Avery
Wish we had more docs like Dr Berry.
