at 12:26, I noticed an error. If you still see a yellow iodine color after an hour, chances are you have sufficient iodine. If it is gone, chances are you are deficient.
I noticed the same thing. The hypothyroidism video says that if the stain hasnt disappeared after 24hrs you probably DO NOT have a deficiency. If it is gone, has been absorbed, you probably DO have a deficiency.
The fact that you are humble enough to correct yourself makes you even more credible. It is normal to make mistakes, but to admit it and have the courage to correct it shows great character. 💙
Thank you for adding the correction here, but it might be worth adding a correction bumble in the video itself for those viewers who may not watch your other videos and catch the discrepancy and look deeper into finding your comment. Thanks for the great videos 👍
I can't be the only one that thinks (about a million times), "why can't Dr. Berg be my doc?" :) Finding healthcare professionals that look beyond the stereotypical 'response' to various issues like thyroid is a needle in a haystack. Thank you Dr. Berg. Your work is important to us all.
As far as I'm concerned, he IS my Dr. I get my labs drawn through my PCP to see where my health stands. However, based on those results my treatments come from advice given from these videos and other natural remedy sources. I've already lost my gallbladder due to being uninformed and in the care of snip happy doctors. Not again if I can help it.
@@Andrina-fl9ef yes you are right, good point! I lost my gallbladder almost 30 years ago(was furious after I heard about the importance of that which regular docs say that has none) and 14 years ago had a total hysterectomy). 😞
@@camicri4263 I feel your pain! When I had my gallbladder removed, I was told I would barely know it's missing. Ha! My digestion was never the same after removal. So when I was told my appendix had to go, I refused surgery and opted for antibiotics. Dr also said the appendix wouldn't be missed and serves no purpose. I was like so we're just born with spare parts? Really?
@@Andrina-fl9ef Crazy people! I don't know why they learn for 8 years to tell me that my body came out of an explosion and by miracle put it self together so harmoniously! Ugh!
It’s truly amazing how many videos you have on so many topics with great information. If every doctor worked like you we’d all be so much better off. Explaining the root cause and ways to know what that is rather than treating the symptoms is how all medical advice should be done. Thank you for all your amazing work.
That is so true and yes, many thanks. I send people here all the time. ● Spent a lot of time looking for migraine headache info. Sad to say, I found nothing on that. Still searching...a relative is having that problem. Very concerned.
@@silvianencheva527 lots of Dr dont recommend talking soy products. Same goes to homeopathy. My expereince. I slimmed down for wedding using soy protein product. I managed to lose few pounds..but it changed my belly structure into like tofu😅. Dr told me this when they faced issue sewing back right after c-zer .
I rarely comment here, but like others have stated your advice has helped me in repairing my health and managing my Hashimoto's. Your advice also help me avoid an appendectomy. As a matter of fact, I was about to wheeled into surgery, but at the last minute said I changed my mind and asked if there was an alternative option. The doctor looked at me and very hesitantly told me about a heavy dose of antibiotics, which I agreed to. After viewing your video on inflammation and the appendix, I've been 2 years appendix pain free and rebuilt my gut from the antibiotic use. Funny thing is, the nurses and Dr even said I'd be back when my appendix acts up again or worse-ruptures. This had me scared, but then I remembered they have an interest in performing the surgery and stuck to my guns. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Most people don't know there are options that THEY have control of, like what they do or don't put into their bodies. Well done for turning your health around.
Wow I can't believe they didn't share with you all the options you could pick from but instead chose for you instead and decided surgery first. Surgery should always be a last resort and every doctor should know that! At least he was honest when you thought to ask, but personally, I believe it was God who helped get you out of there in the nick of time and turn your health around through Dr Berg's videos. God is amazing and He is using Dr. Berg to help His people.
Great that u didn’t have the surgery. Dr Berg is amazing but I think it’s maybe helpful if u check out dr Gundry as well. He talks a lot about Lectin, how it influences the gut. The important of Microbiome. Many of his patients/followers have cured themselves from Hashimoto’s, many kinds of allergies/autoimmune diseases, or other diseases. Dr Gundry is pretty much inline with Dr Berg about Keto, intermit fasting, etc…only Dr Gundry talks more about Lectins. Gluten is just 1 kind of lectin. He tells u Where the lectins r, what they do to the body, how to avoid them. Not just in grains…His video “ur brain is NOT in the head” is also amazing
Thank you for your dedication to nutrition & health education. I wish I was 30 years younger so I could avoid the misery of misdiagnosed, undiagnosed & under treated thyroid/liver/autoimmune diseases/chronic fatigue/brain fog, etc. I am down 20 lbs in six weeks, & feeling so much better! Looking forward to spending my days “Berging” your videos.
@@lovefaith1856 intermittent fasting & healthy keto. Sticking to Dr. Berg’s advice. I am also working with my primary care physician, who’s monitoring by labs.
Uh oh y’all, we done did it! Dr Berg is a verb now! I too love ‘berging’ on his videos whenever I can, tryina keep my health in check! He’s obvs the GOAT❣️
I like that Dr Berg always tries to recommend natural remedies, herbs and lifestyle changes instead of just blindly promoting whatever med Big Pharma is pushing. God bless you, Doc.
Thank you, Dr. Berg! I’ve always relied on my doctor for my health. However, many times I recognized my doctor doesn’t know many things but very good at prescribing drugs without a lot of detailed explanation to me. Since discovering your channel, I’ve learned more things from you than my doctor. Keep up the good work! Cheers! ❤️

I thought if the iodine on skin disappears quickly it means you are deficient because your body needs it. And if it doesn’t absorb then that means you have enough.
Yes. I have been tested so many times for hypothyroidism. The blood tests come back as “normal” but I honestly think the normal range is too vague. I have a lot of the symptoms of hypothyroidism (and sometimes hyperthyroidism-almost like it bounces back and forth if that’s even possible..)and they even scanned my thyroid and said it was enlarged but “it was nothing to worry about-just check yearly to see what’s happening”.. never gave me anything to work on with diet or anything to know to help heal me. I react to wheat/gluten so I avoid it all the time, and I feel swollen in my neck a lot. I have many family members who have thyroid issues. Totally testing myself now!
Look into a castor oil pack for your thyroid and the whole body. Also, look into sea moss for iodine. Look at the video for real sea moss. If possible, get the sea moss from Ireland.
I am confused about the iodine patch test. I thought if the stain went away it meant you were iodine deficient. Because the body was absorbing the iodine on the skin, because it needed the iodine.
Thank you for being a light in the dark world of healthcare Dr. Berg 💜 People/patients deserve to be empowered, educated about their health, and given viable treatment solutions for all chronic/acute illnesses. The healthcare great awakening is happening.
Not sure that the iodine patch test is a good method, but I think you got it back to front Dr B. Is it not that, if the iodine is absorbed within an hour you are deficient?
Yes. Sometimes he has mistakes. I was using alpha lipoic acid based on his advice but I was about to die using it for only 10 days because I have amalgam. Ala started chelating the Mercury from my teeth and dumped it in my blood. My resting heart beat was 130 bpm. When I stopped taking it I felt better but my heart still heart and don't feel well. He should warn people about this

Knowledge is so empowering and liberating! Thank you Dr Berg for all the great knowledge delivered in a concise , easy to use manner ! I’m grateful ! 🌹
I thought you said before that the iodine patch would disappear rapidly if deficient. This te you said it would remain. Which is it? Blessings and thanks!
Dear Dr.Berg.Please review the iodine test you mentioned on this video and please clarify if you meant the opposite: if the iodine is absorbed then it suggests deficiency. That's my understanding from one of your previous videos. But here you say if it is not absorbed you may be deficient. Could you please clarify thank you
Sending this incredible information to my family and friends Dr. Berg. Your endless tools for optimum health and invaluable resources are priceless for the world listening. We thank you so very much! 🙏💜✝️

Thank you for all the precious knowledge Dr Berg 💕. Can you please address cases where people took radioactive iodine to destroy part - not all - of the gland and how it affects their health afterwards? Many thanks!!
This doctor is invaluable! I have been told I have R.A. SInce 1976. I have had those 💥 nodules just about all this time. I was told they are from the arthritis, not thyroid nodules. That misled me to try researching in the wrong places. Who told me that? A doctor, so he didn’t know correct information either! I have NEVER found a reason why they showed up and they are painful!!! They are around my elbows and ankles. They limit actions tremendously. Finally a cause I can relate to and do something about! ( yes, I have low thyroid, too) I’ve been taking Iodine and T-3, but not selenium! I want these misleaders to be gone! Dr Berg, you are a treasure! Thank you for these and all your information! 🙏🏻🎯
You are not alone! I was dx hypothyroid at 17-18. I didn't find out it was Hashimoto's until many years later after beginning to research and asking the drs to test for antibodies. Several refused but finally one agreed to test. My antibodies were through the roof. Not only that, but for over 15 years, they had been undertreating my thyroid and my levels were never in optimal range. Fast forward to getting on dessicated thyroid, I have begun the healing journey. Dr Berg has a more extensive thyroid health course. I found it very helpful
did Dr. berg say nodule around elbow or ankles.. all he mentioned was reflection testing..didn't he? though I wish he shows me better video showing the way of testing..
Thank you Dr. Berg for providing so many much more useful knowledge that I needed! I had problems with losing my voice box a lot and all the doctors kept giving me were strong acid reflex prescriptions. My ENT just told me to lose weight. I didn't know how to properly lose weight and found your videos very helpful on going on keto and fasting. I lost 30lbs doing that. Then I started taking the vitamin Solgar brand you recommended taking Sea Kelp and it has helped improve my thyroid and mood tremendously!
I am confused, in your video, 8 Unexpected Benefits of Iodine, you say if the iodine is GONE in about an hour you are deficient in iodine, in this video you say if it is STILL THERE after an hour chances are you are deficient in iodine. Which is it, still there after and hour or gone in about an hour? Thank you.

@@Ash-ol3ji My doctor friend says she has "goals" to meet at her group practice. This means she has to get certain numbers of people on medications and coming in regularly. She wants to start her own practice where she doesn't have to do this, but she can't afford it yet. Most doctors face these "goals" set by management. Good to you for being tough!
@@wildswan221 Wow. This is something I suspected, but had no confirmation of because I knew that those in the medical and pharmaceutical industry don't benefit from healthy people or natural alternatives.
I’m taking thyroid medication for over 20 years and I still feel sick.All this time I haven’t seen great Doctors that listing and try to help the patients. I wish Dr. Eric could be my doctor. Your videos help me a lot.
Dr Berg, I watch your videos regularly and have a question in hypothyroidism (under active). My daughter was diagnosed when she was 14. She is now 23 and completely relies on her Thyroid tablets, without them she just can't function. She does have a deficieny with Vitamin and becomes severely comtispated. Please could you recommend an alternative that is more tolerable to her gut? Thank you
Thank you Dr Berg. I thought that it's the opposite that iodine patch should stay on your skin for longer as a sign that your body is not hungry for it as it has enough already 🤔
Dr Berg, I have so much to thankyou for. Fasting has been a miracle for me and I feel, look and work differently and better. I’m from India and a vegetarian. It would be of immense help if you could do a video on vegetarian or vegan options for a Keto diet while intermittent fasting. Thankyou
You can try almonds , raw coconut slices . Homemade paneer is a very good source of protein. If you eat eggs, then you can easily do Keto with paneer one meal and eggs in the other. Else you may go with nuts for 1 meal.
@@gahdzuwkz6647 no... not needed.. It is good.. But not essential... Humans, unlike other animals can get the needed nutrients from plant and dairy based foods....
I'm a vegetarian(since birth) btw (not vegan), and and I'm now 30 y.o... I haven't had any problem so far... The problem occurrs when someone suddenly turns to being veganism after eating meat for so long. Their digestive system is adapted to absorbing nutrients from meat (especially the proteins) and they get malnutritioned by sudden switch to veganism... Ppl who are vegetarians from beginning tend to know what to eat to get the required nutrients which otherwise are obtained from animal based food.
Thank you for your video. Other folks have said that the opposite is true about the iodine patch test. That is, if the iodine patch disappears quickly (say in under 4 hours, or even in under an hour) it means that the person is iodine deficient. Could you confirm this? Many thanks.
I believe menopause tripped up my body and doctors put me on Synthroid in 2007. It helped, but at 66 that was the only med I was taking and wanted off of it. My kinesiologist started treating my pituitary and liver with supplements and I have been Synthroid free since October. It was pretty rough weaning off over 2 months, but I am completely symptom free now. No problems losing weight because I have been eating keto and 18/6 IF the past year. I have no doubt cutting out grains and sugar and fasting helped as much as the supplements. I’m still taking the pituitary supplements. T3/t4 normal and tsh normal. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Thank you Dr. Berg for all your information! It appears you have made an error at the end of the video regarding the iodine test. To me the iodine would absorb quickly if you had a deficiency, not leave a stain after an hour.
I didn’t wean I just stopped! The medication made my life hell! My GP still won’t refer me to a specialist that knows how to prescribe the right dose, hell! My Gp doesn’t even test my t3 level 🙄 I barely had thyroid symptoms until I started the medication.
I thought that if the iodine patch test disappears after an hour that it indicated that iodine was readily absorbed and that was a sign of deficiency .. not the other way around?
The MAIN AND FIRST REASON why I had a thyroid and adrenal problem is ... SIBO that I had for around 20 years minimum!! I had no help from doctors, had to do all by myself. I AM SURE A PRO-ACTIVE... FOR ALL THOSE YEARS, I was in quicksand, doing research even with very low cognition. It took a long time to figure it all out... HELL... But I am so much better now. TX DR BERG FOR YOUR HELP TOWARDS OTHERS.
I had an atypical (for me) thyroid hormone test last year. It was "within range" so my doctor did not flag it and didn't recommend any investigation. I'm 63, very active, but have gained 5-6 lbs in the past year, and have other symptoms of hypothyroidism. I have been gluten sensitive for a long time. I probably don't get a lot of iodine in my diet. Will definitely look into this.
They always also say iodine is not an issue in western countries, but maybe it is actually something we aren't getting enough. Going to try these tests and see
Re: Iodine skin-patch Test… I always thought if the Iodine disappears within an hour then it means Deficiency present…. But you said said if the iodine patch is still there then it shows Deficiency. Huh? How’s that work? 🤷♂️
I've read several articles on iodine painting tests and yours is the opposite of what the others are saying, that is it should take 18 to 24 hours for the iodine to disappear if you are not deficient, quicker absorption means you are deficient. It seems logical to me that if you are deficient it would be absorbed quicker.
sooo ummm what about me then, i have NO REFLEX when i tap this on either foot, and i dont get reflex in my knees either! my docs here in the uk just ignore me when i mention i have no reflexes when tapped!
Thank you for making videos like this! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos but my endo and primary rely on outdated/old school data that has left my body in turmoil, while doing nothing to help me till TSH stays out of wack, furtentl. I'm taking control and fix my diet.
@@jappykinoshita4959 No, my primary won't treat based on symptoms, only tsh, which is constantly in and out of "normal". And the high antibodies with typical diffieciencies with hashimotos don't concern her.
Thank you Dr. Berg. Regarding the home test, I am on Levothyrixine- if I do that test will the results reflect my thyroid condition accurately? or will the medication throw the test off?
Dr Berg, you are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I appreciate your willingness to use this platform to share information, your delivery is "hearable/understandable", and your gentleness is genuine. Be blessed!!
Nice to hear some common sense about Thyroid. Thanks. Had Epstein-Barr and was diagnosed as auto-immune on many levels. My system totally rejected Synthroid and I won't touch the porcine thyroid (too many ingredients that are not thyroid). Lived like this for 40 years. Kept getting tested and T4 was highT3 very low. Have HCV (over 50 years and it's from a transfusion, not stupidity). Last year I spoke to an endocrinologist who was ready to put me on Metaformin and porcine thyroid. She won't talk to me again -- I already knew what my bloodwork showed (I'm living Keto!) and refused the porcine, bought a cleaner product. She didn't like that at all -- told me alternatives weren't a part of her training. Pay $50 a month out of my own pocket because it's not Pharma, and so not covered. But it works! Whole Gland Desiccated Bovine Thyroid. My craving for seaweed went away in a week. I'd always craved the seaweed, and the craving vanished.(If only my craving for sweet would vanish as easily). Ultrasound showed nodes on/in the gland before we started treatment. It's been nearly a year. Bloodwork shows my thyroid gland is no longer trying to fill the cellular needs (ie: working overtime), the antibodies are still in circulation and so I'll be taking the caps of desiccated bovine thyroid until the antibodies stop. After a year, I am losing less hair. Don't think it's growing back, but I'm 72 and recently started taking DHEA because it seems my ovaries have disappeared... Can't be found by ultrasound. So maybe my hair will grow back, be nice to have eyebrows and eyelashes again. With the combination of the bovine thyroid and the DHEA I find I sleep better and don't hit the wall (need a nap) as often as I did.
@@karmasutra4774 Searched the internet. Found Nutri-meds, which offers capsules without additives. There are other companies, but Nutri-meds ships from the US and I have no complaints.
Dr Berg about the iodine test isnt it supposed to be that if we are defficient it will dissapear because the body will absord it and if its still there the body has enough so it dosnt absorb?????
Dr Berg, I’m in the 10% non- hasimotos hypothyroidism. I had thyroid cancer and full thyroid removal 14 years ago and have been monitored for lingering evidence since then. I’d love to hear about the Causes of hypothyroidism outside of Hashimoto and what I can do to help stay healthy while dependent on thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
GREAT video, Dr. Berg! QUESTION: Pls clarify how OFTEN to take 40k IU's of Vit D - Daily? Weekly? Thx again for all of your helpful info and education! 🙂
With respect, can I suggest one key thing you should try to do. You need to cite peer-reviewed publication on your topics, to give your information scientific and clinical credibility. Journals such as Nature or the BMJ for example. Otherwise, your information can come across as partially pseudoscientific. What is the evidence that links gluten to Hashimoto's (in vitro, in vivo, clinical, epidemiological etc). Evidence-based practice is an essential foundation of science, technology and medicine. Just a suggestion. Thanks.
I wonder if you got the iodine patch test reversed. To suggest you don't have a deficiency if the iodine is absorbed seemed illogical to me so I ran a few comparisons with several other sources. They state a 2 inch patch that should still be present after 24 hours indicates zero deficiency, but if a colour is gone it indicates a deficiency, the extent indicated by how fast the colour is absorbed. Apologies if you did say this and I misunderstood you.
Dr Berg! Can please make a video on Grave disease please?🙏 My goiter is getting bigger and doctor say is cause by Hyperthyroidism. I'm following your keto diet but still no improvement.😪

Dr. Berg is the best!! Every video I watch adds a lot of value to my health and knowledge. He’s one of the very few that advises people on having a healthy lifestyle to avoid getting sick. After watching him for a long time, I can say that I really trust his opinions and knowledge. He also has that positive aura about him, that reflects how he wants to just help people. Thank you for all you do Dr. Berg.
you said "if it is still there, there is an iodine deficiency, if it is gone then it is ok" . Im confused, I knew it otherwise.. like if it is absorbed quickly that means we are most likely iodine deficient ?
Completely agree with you Dr Berg. We are also seeing the in denial when we share benefits of keto diet w friends and family. Seems to be human nature 🤣🤣
Thank you Dr. Berg! As usual, your video was truly very helpful. I for sure have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and am now on Synthroid. I would love to be able to not be on it, but don't know what options I have. I have been doing the Ketogenic way of eating you are recommending and have lost 12 lbs.! :)
Hi Dr Berg, You recommended Thytrophin PMG made by Standard Process for hypothyroidism over a year ago. It helped me to level off my thyroid plus the diet you recommended. Can I continue to take the Thytrophin PMG or is it recommnded for short period of time. Thank you so much .
You have a gift for clear communication. I tried reading about all of this and it just made my head spin. Really appreciate your videos, thank you! The Achilles test... I'm not getting much of a reflex kick at all, either leg. Anyone else experience this?
QUESTION - Iodine patch test......I thought if the stain disappears you are deficient, in iodine, if the stain remains, you have plenty and it will not absorb as fast. I am pretty sure that is what one of your other videos said.
The results of the iodine patch test is contradicted by a Google search. It says if the iodine is absorbed quickly you are deficient. This is from more than one source. They also use 24 hours for the test. Please clarify this for me.
I have known about iodine test from several sources, and you are right - if it disappears you are deficient. A variation of the test is to do three patches - light, average and thick. This helps to see the degree of iodine deficiency, i.e. if even the light one doesn’t disappear you are good, if the medium one you may have some deficiency, if the thick one you are in trouble.
I think the iodine test result Dr Berg is talking about is the other way round. If after an hour the iodine patch is NOT visible then your body absorbed it because you are deficient. If the patch is visible after that hour then you are NOT deficient because your body did NOT need it thus did not absorbed it.
My sisters test came back negative over and over then turned out she had it. I have hypothyroidism too. I’m also on a weight loss journey and it’s so tuff to lose weight with hypothyroidism, but I lost a 100 lbs so far and have 120 lbs more to lose.
Check your temperature before you move around in the morning. the lower it is from 98.6 degrees, the more you have a low thyroid.I have studied this and this is the best, easiest test I've found.
Been on thyroid medicine for about 23 years now. Nothing has changed. Still tired, my hair is thinning, and I have gained 30 plus lbs. All test ( blood ) now say normal. I've always had dry skin. I've been lucky enough to not have depression. I wonder if mine is something else.
Have you tested the "TPO"? All of my other thyroid tests (such as T3, T4, etc.) are in the good range. But TPO is 500+, so my Naturopathic Doctor said that counts as having Hashimoto's.
I would love for all doctors of today to be like you! Hats off to your efforts in educating everyone. I would love to get in touch and consult with you

I want get a t-shirt that says, “Other than that, you are perfectly fine. Dr. Berg”. ❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love that Bob Newhart humour!
I rarely comment here, but like others have stated your advice has helped me in repairing my health and managing my Hashimoto's. Your advice also help me avoid an appendectomy. As a matter of fact, I was about to wheeled into surgery, but at the last minute said I changed my mind and asked if there was an alternative option. The doctor looked at me and very hesitantly told me about a heavy dose of antibiotics, which I agreed to. After viewing your video on inflammation and the appendix, I've been 2 years appendix pain free and rebuilt my gut from the antibiotic use. Funny thing is, the nurses and Dr even said I'd be back when my appendix acts up again or worse-ruptures. This had me scared, but then I remembered they have an interest in performing the surgery and stuck to my guns. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Most people don't know there are options that THEY have control of, like what they do or don't put into their bodies. Well done for turning your health around.
Wow I can't believe they didn't share with you all the options you could pick from but instead chose for you instead and decided surgery first. Surgery should always be a last resort and every doctor should know that! At least he was honest when you thought to ask, but personally, I believe it was God who helped get you out of there in the nick of time and turn your health around through Dr Berg's videos. God is amazing and He is using Dr. Berg to help His people.
Great that u didn’t have the surgery. Dr Berg is amazing but I think it’s maybe helpful if u check out dr Gundry as well. He talks a lot about Lectin, how it influences the gut. The important of Microbiome. Many of his patients/followers have cured themselves from Hashimoto’s, many kinds of allergies/autoimmune diseases, or other diseases.
Dr Gundry is pretty much inline with Dr Berg about Keto, intermit fasting, etc…only Dr Gundry talks more about Lectins. Gluten is just 1 kind of lectin. He tells u Where the lectins r, what they do to the body, how to avoid them. Not just in grains…His video “ur brain is NOT in the head” is also amazing

Thank you for your dedication to nutrition & health education. I wish I was 30 years younger so I could avoid the misery of misdiagnosed, undiagnosed & under treated thyroid/liver/autoimmune diseases/chronic fatigue/brain fog, etc. I am down 20 lbs in six weeks, & feeling so much better! Looking forward to spending my days “Berging” your videos.
How did you lose weight?
@@lovefaith1856 intermittent fasting & healthy keto. Sticking to Dr. Berg’s advice. I am also working with my primary care physician, who’s monitoring by labs.
same with my doctor. he heals everything with meds
I wish I’d known this 20 years ago my mom had both sides of her thyroid removed on separate occasions and still has issues/ persistent cough now
Uh oh y’all, we done did it! Dr Berg is a verb now! I too love ‘berging’ on his videos whenever I can, tryina keep my health in check! He’s obvs the GOAT❣️
I like that Dr Berg always tries to recommend natural remedies, herbs and lifestyle changes instead of just blindly promoting whatever med Big Pharma is pushing.
God bless you, Doc.
Thank you, Dr. Berg! I’ve always relied on my doctor for my health. However, many times I recognized my doctor doesn’t know many things but very good at prescribing drugs without a lot of detailed explanation to me. Since discovering your channel, I’ve learned more things from you than my doctor. Keep up the good work! Cheers! ❤️

Thank you for your honest health information. It’s difficult to find this anywhere else
I thought if the iodine on skin disappears quickly it means you are deficient because your body needs it. And if it doesn’t absorb then that means you have enough.
It's too important to suggest a method and leave people confused. He needs to clarify.
I also think same as you. Maybe he misspoke.
Watch Barbara O’Neil
If the Iodine disappears after a few hours your deficient in Iodine
Yes. I have been tested so many times for hypothyroidism. The blood tests come back as “normal” but I honestly think the normal range is too vague. I have a lot of the symptoms of hypothyroidism (and sometimes hyperthyroidism-almost like it bounces back and forth if that’s even possible..)and they even scanned my thyroid and said it was enlarged but “it was nothing to worry about-just check yearly to see what’s happening”.. never gave me anything to work on with diet or anything to know to help heal me. I react to wheat/gluten so I avoid it all the time, and I feel swollen in my neck a lot.
I have many family members who have thyroid issues. Totally testing myself now!
Most doctors including endocrinologists only test the TSH in the blood when they really need to do a full thyroid panel.
test for antibodies
Did they test you for TPO &TG antibodies?
Look into a castor oil pack for your thyroid and the whole body. Also, look into sea moss for iodine. Look at the video for real sea moss. If possible, get the sea moss from Ireland.
Same!
I am confused about the iodine patch test. I thought if the stain went away it meant you were iodine deficient. Because the body was absorbing the iodine on the skin, because it needed the iodine.
Yes, me too!
Of it goes away within an hour. It will go away regardless but if it’s within an hour then you are deficient.
How do you do the Achilles tendon test? My ankle isn't moving? Not sure if I'm hitting it correctly or even positioning myself correctly.
Same! Mine didn’t move. Would be great if there was an actual real-time demonstration. 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you for being a light in the dark world of healthcare Dr. Berg 💜
People/patients deserve to be empowered, educated about their health, and given viable treatment solutions for all chronic/acute illnesses. The healthcare great awakening is happening.
Not sure that the iodine patch test is a good method, but I think you got it back to front Dr B. Is it not that, if the iodine is absorbed within an hour you are deficient?
That’s what I had understood too. I’m now confused 🤔
Great observation. I'm questioning too 😕
Yeah, same. Back to front.
Yes. Sometimes he has mistakes. I was using alpha lipoic acid based on his advice but I was about to die using it for only 10 days because I have amalgam. Ala started chelating the Mercury from my teeth and dumped it in my blood. My resting heart beat was 130 bpm. When I stopped taking it I felt better but my heart still heart and don't feel well. He should warn people about this

Thanks for your Comment!!
This is the absolute BEST informative thyroid video I've came across in years! Thank you very much, Dr. Berg ❤
Knowledge is so empowering and liberating! Thank you Dr Berg for all the great knowledge delivered in a concise , easy to use manner ! I’m grateful ! 🌹
I thought you said before that the iodine patch would disappear rapidly if deficient. This te you said it would remain. Which is it? Blessings and thanks!
Dear Dr.Berg.Please review the iodine test you mentioned on this video and please clarify if you meant the opposite: if the iodine is absorbed then it suggests deficiency. That's my understanding from one of your previous videos. But here you say if it is not absorbed you may be deficient. Could you please clarify thank you
I was wondering this too!
I thought the same thing too.
Yeah he got it backwards
Also for accurate results not any kind of 2% iodine can be used from what I have found. Should use povidone iodine which you use for burns etc
Same thing...
Sending this incredible information to my family and friends Dr. Berg. Your endless tools for optimum health and invaluable resources are priceless for the world listening. We thank you so very much! 🙏💜✝️
Although the world wouldn't believe in Herb's, I will because Dr. OKOUKPATO has shown me the power of which these herbs contain , It got rid of my 7 years. HSV1/2, what else can I say than thank you Dr okoukpato
Thank you for all the precious knowledge Dr Berg 💕. Can you please address cases where people took radioactive iodine to destroy part - not all - of the gland and how it affects their health afterwards? Many thanks!!
This doctor is invaluable! I have been told I have R.A. SInce 1976. I have had those 💥 nodules just about all this time. I was told they are from the arthritis, not thyroid nodules. That misled me to try researching in the wrong places. Who told me that? A doctor, so he didn’t know correct information either! I have NEVER found a reason why they showed up and they are painful!!! They are around my elbows and ankles. They limit actions tremendously.
Finally a cause I can relate to and do something about! ( yes, I have low thyroid, too) I’ve been taking Iodine and T-3, but not selenium! I want these misleaders to be gone!
Dr Berg, you are a treasure! Thank you for these and all your information! 🙏🏻🎯
You are not alone! I was dx hypothyroid at 17-18. I didn't find out it was Hashimoto's until many years later after beginning to research and asking the drs to test for antibodies. Several refused but finally one agreed to test. My antibodies were through the roof. Not only that, but for over 15 years, they had been undertreating my thyroid and my levels were never in optimal range. Fast forward to getting on dessicated thyroid, I have begun the healing journey. Dr Berg has a more extensive thyroid health course. I found it very helpful
did Dr. berg say nodule around elbow or ankles.. all he mentioned was reflection testing..didn't he? though I wish he shows me better video showing the way of testing..
Lot
Avoiding gluten can also make a world of difference in how you feel.
Be well, friend.
@bina nocht I have those nodules. Glad to hear they will go away.
Thank you Dr. Berg for providing so many much more useful knowledge that I needed! I had problems with losing my voice box a lot and all the doctors kept giving me were strong acid reflex prescriptions. My ENT just told me to lose weight. I didn't know how to properly lose weight and found your videos very helpful on going on keto and fasting. I lost 30lbs doing that. Then I started taking the vitamin Solgar brand you recommended taking Sea Kelp and it has helped improve my thyroid and mood tremendously!
Love Dr berg’s sea kelp. I take it with 1-2 Brazil nuts. Been helping with my energy.
I am confused, in your video, 8 Unexpected Benefits of Iodine, you say if the iodine is GONE in about an hour you are deficient in iodine, in this video you say if it is STILL THERE after an hour chances are you are deficient in iodine. Which is it, still there after and hour or gone in about an hour? Thank you.
You know, the part about being proactive is really important, especially as we get older. This channel is helping us live our best lives possible.

Did you get the iodine test backwards??? Can you please answer this question, a few people here caught this mistake???
Thank you for this crucial information that no doctor ever told me, except a Naturopath in Seattle in 2004. Saved my life. You do wonderful work.
Dr Berg, I watch your videos regularly and have a question in hypothyroidism (under active). My daughter was diagnosed when she was 14. She is now 23 and completely relies on her Thyroid tablets, without them she just can't function. She does have a deficieny with Vitamin and becomes severely comtispated. Please could you recommend an alternative that is more tolerable to her gut? Thank you
Thank you Dr Berg. I thought that it's the opposite that iodine patch should stay on your skin for longer as a sign that your body is not hungry for it as it has enough already 🤔
Yes, I was confused about that too.
Me also
I've heard the same thing. mine disappeared in 12 hours
He corrected himself in a comment
Dr Berg, I have so much to thankyou for. Fasting has been a miracle for me and I feel, look and work differently and better. I’m from India and a vegetarian. It would be of immense help if you could do a video on vegetarian or vegan options for a Keto diet while intermittent fasting. Thankyou
You need meat as a human being. At least eggs and other animal proteins
You can try almonds , raw coconut slices . Homemade paneer is a very good source of protein. If you eat eggs, then you can easily do Keto with paneer one meal and eggs in the other. Else you may go with nuts for 1 meal.
@@gahdzuwkz6647 no... not needed.. It is good.. But not essential... Humans, unlike other animals can get the needed nutrients from plant and dairy based foods....
@@NemysisPrime yes but animal proteins dairy and eggs at the very least….veganism doesn’t work
I'm a vegetarian(since birth) btw (not vegan), and and I'm now 30 y.o... I haven't had any problem so far...
The problem occurrs when someone suddenly turns to being veganism after eating meat for so long. Their digestive system is adapted to absorbing nutrients from meat (especially the proteins) and they get malnutritioned by sudden switch to veganism...
Ppl who are vegetarians from beginning tend to know what to eat to get the required nutrients which otherwise are obtained from animal based food.
Thank you for your video. Other folks have said that the opposite is true about the iodine patch test. That is, if the iodine patch disappears quickly (say in under 4 hours, or even in under an hour) it means that the person is iodine deficient. Could you confirm this? Many thanks.
I believe menopause tripped up my body and doctors put me on Synthroid in 2007. It helped, but at 66 that was the only med I was taking and wanted off of it. My kinesiologist started treating my pituitary and liver with supplements and I have been Synthroid free since October. It was pretty rough weaning off over 2 months, but I am completely symptom free now. No problems losing weight because I have been eating keto and 18/6 IF the past year. I have no doubt cutting out grains and sugar and fasting helped as much as the supplements. I’m still taking the pituitary supplements. T3/t4 normal and tsh normal. Thank you Dr. Berg!
What are they re the pituitary supplements?
Thnks
Thank you Dr. Berg for all your information! It appears you have made an error at the end of the video regarding the iodine test. To me the iodine would absorb quickly if you had a deficiency, not leave a stain after an hour.
I stopped taking my thyroid meds, after weaning, last July. I suspected the medicine made me feel worse. So far so good.
*I knew the risks
I didn’t wean I just stopped! The medication made my life hell! My GP still won’t refer me to a specialist that knows how to prescribe the right dose, hell! My Gp doesn’t even test my t3 level 🙄 I barely had thyroid symptoms until I started the medication.
I thought that if the iodine patch test disappears after an hour that it indicated that iodine was readily absorbed and that was a sign of deficiency .. not the other way around?
🙏🏼 Thank you for Standing with Humanity against the Evil Pharma
This is Gold Doc. More appreciated than you know, all the best.
The MAIN AND FIRST REASON why I had a thyroid and adrenal problem is ... SIBO that I had for around 20 years minimum!! I had no help from doctors, had to do all by myself. I AM SURE A PRO-ACTIVE... FOR ALL THOSE YEARS, I was in quicksand, doing research even with very low cognition. It took a long time to figure it all out... HELL... But I am so much better now. TX DR BERG FOR YOUR HELP TOWARDS OTHERS.
You said if the iodine is still there ur deficient in iodine? Did I hear that right? I don't understand.
I had an atypical (for me) thyroid hormone test last year. It was "within range" so my doctor did not flag it and didn't recommend any investigation. I'm 63, very active, but have gained 5-6 lbs in the past year, and have other symptoms of hypothyroidism. I have been gluten sensitive for a long time. I probably don't get a lot of iodine in my diet. Will definitely look into this.
They always also say iodine is not an issue in western countries, but maybe it is actually something we aren't getting enough. Going to try these tests and see
Re: Iodine skin-patch Test…
I always thought if the Iodine disappears within an hour then it means Deficiency present….
But you said said if the iodine patch is still there then it shows Deficiency.
Huh? How’s that work? 🤷♂️
I was about to point that out also
I've read several articles on iodine painting tests and yours is the opposite of what the others are saying, that is it should take 18 to 24 hours for the iodine to disappear if you are not deficient, quicker absorption means you are deficient. It seems logical to me that if you are deficient it would be absorbed quicker.
Correct
sooo ummm what about me then, i have NO REFLEX when i tap this on either foot, and i dont get reflex in my knees either! my docs here in the uk just ignore me when i mention i have no reflexes when tapped!
Thank you for making videos like this! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos but my endo and primary rely on outdated/old school data that has left my body in turmoil, while doing nothing to help me till TSH stays out of wack, furtentl. I'm taking control and fix my diet.
Are you taking any thyroid meds while changing your diet now?
@@jappykinoshita4959 No, my primary won't treat based on symptoms, only tsh, which is constantly in and out of "normal". And the high antibodies with typical diffieciencies with hashimotos don't concern her.
I thought the iodine patch test was if it doesn't disappear your body didn't absorb it because you have enough iodine.
Thank you Dr. Berg. Regarding the home test, I am on Levothyrixine- if I do that test will the results reflect my thyroid condition accurately? or will the medication throw the test off?
my doc usually has me have the blood draw in the morning before I take my thyroid med, so 24 hrs after my previous dose.
Dr Berg, you are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I appreciate your willingness to use this platform to share information, your delivery is "hearable/understandable", and your gentleness is genuine. Be blessed!!
Nice to hear some common sense about Thyroid. Thanks.
Had Epstein-Barr and was diagnosed as auto-immune on many levels. My system totally rejected Synthroid and I won't touch the porcine thyroid (too many ingredients that are not thyroid). Lived like this for 40 years. Kept getting tested and T4 was highT3 very low. Have HCV (over 50 years and it's from a transfusion, not stupidity).
Last year I spoke to an endocrinologist who was ready to put me on Metaformin and porcine thyroid. She won't talk to me again -- I already knew what my bloodwork showed (I'm living Keto!) and refused the porcine, bought a cleaner product. She didn't like that at all -- told me alternatives weren't a part of her training. Pay $50 a month out of my own pocket because it's not Pharma, and so not covered. But it works!
Whole Gland Desiccated Bovine Thyroid.
My craving for seaweed went away in a week. I'd always craved the seaweed, and the craving vanished.(If only my craving for sweet would vanish as easily).
Ultrasound showed nodes on/in the gland before we started treatment.
It's been nearly a year. Bloodwork shows my thyroid gland is no longer trying to fill the cellular needs (ie: working overtime), the antibodies are still in circulation and so I'll be taking the caps of desiccated bovine thyroid until the antibodies stop.
After a year, I am losing less hair. Don't think it's growing back, but I'm 72 and recently started taking DHEA because it seems my ovaries have disappeared... Can't be found by ultrasound. So maybe my hair will grow back, be nice to have eyebrows and eyelashes again.
With the combination of the bovine thyroid and the DHEA I find I sleep better and don't hit the wall (need a nap) as often as I did.
Good for you to keep at it till you figured stuff out! Thanks for inspiring me!!!
Where did you find a good source for the dessicated thyroid?
@@karmasutra4774 Searched the internet. Found Nutri-meds, which offers capsules without additives. There are other companies, but Nutri-meds ships from the US and I have no complaints.
Dr Berg about the iodine test isnt it supposed to be that if we are defficient it will dissapear because the body will absord it and if its still there the body has enough so it dosnt absorb?????
Dr Berg, I’m in the 10% non- hasimotos hypothyroidism. I had thyroid cancer and full thyroid removal 14 years ago and have been monitored for lingering evidence since then. I’d love to hear about the Causes of hypothyroidism outside of Hashimoto and what I can do to help stay healthy while dependent on thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
Adrenal and gallbladder problems can cause Hashimoto’s.
"Other than that, you're perfectly fine". 😂😂😂
GREAT video, Dr. Berg!
QUESTION: Pls clarify how OFTEN to take 40k IU's of Vit D - Daily? Weekly?
Thx again for all of your helpful info and education!
🙂
With respect, can I suggest one key thing you should try to do. You need to cite peer-reviewed publication on your topics, to give your information scientific and clinical credibility. Journals such as Nature or the BMJ for example. Otherwise, your information can come across as partially pseudoscientific. What is the evidence that links gluten to Hashimoto's (in vitro, in vivo, clinical, epidemiological etc). Evidence-based practice is an essential foundation of science, technology and medicine. Just a suggestion. Thanks.
Dr Berg, you say 1 Brazil nut a day. How do we test that our levels are absorbing the selenium? Thank you, love your videos very informative.
Awesome question.
I wonder if you got the iodine patch test reversed. To suggest you don't have a deficiency if the iodine is absorbed seemed illogical to me so I ran a few comparisons with several other sources. They state a 2 inch patch that should still be present after 24 hours indicates zero deficiency, but if a colour is gone it indicates a deficiency, the extent indicated by how fast the colour is absorbed. Apologies if you did say this and I misunderstood you.
Dr Berg! Can please make a video on Grave disease please?🙏 My goiter is getting bigger and doctor say is cause by Hyperthyroidism. I'm following your keto diet but still no improvement.😪

Dr. Berg is the best!! Every video I watch adds a lot of value to my health and knowledge. He’s one of the very few that advises people on having a healthy lifestyle to avoid getting sick. After watching him for a long time, I can say that I really trust his opinions and knowledge. He also has that positive aura about him, that reflects how he wants to just help people. Thank you for all you do Dr. Berg.
Perhaps get the right qualifications if you’re interested in naturopathy “ Dr Berg “
you said "if it is still there, there is an iodine deficiency, if it is gone then it is ok" . Im confused, I knew it otherwise.. like if it is absorbed quickly that means we are most likely iodine deficient ?
Yes just looked this up and if it dissappears then you are deficient in iodine.
I don't trust the search results for anything Google other than restaurants and directions.
Completely agree with you Dr Berg. We are also seeing the in denial when we share benefits of keto diet w friends and family. Seems to be human nature 🤣🤣
My foot doesn’t move at all. Maybe I’m doing it wrong?
Do you have a video about hypothyroidism and the link to fibromyalgia?
My iodine is clear, is that a problem? Do I need a different iodine? Not for the test, but for in general
Thank you Dr. Berg! As usual, your video was truly very helpful. I for sure have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and am now on Synthroid. I would love to be able to not be on it, but don't know what options I have. I have been doing the Ketogenic way of eating you are recommending and have lost 12 lbs.! :)
G**gle: 'Don't be Evil'
Wow that’s so interesting, you explained that well, I like the simple but effective test.
I eat canned mackerel which has iodine and selenium. Plus its cheap.
Hi Dr Berg, You recommended Thytrophin PMG made by Standard Process for hypothyroidism over a year ago. It helped me to level off my thyroid plus the diet you recommended. Can I continue to take the Thytrophin PMG or is it recommnded for short period of time. Thank you so much .
thank you Dr.BERG ✌,, gluten

The Achilles test... I'm not getting much of a reflex kick at all, either leg. Anyone else experience this?
QUESTION - Iodine patch test......I thought if the stain disappears you are deficient, in iodine, if the stain remains, you have plenty and it will not absorb as fast. I am pretty sure that is what one of your other videos said.
A lot of times, the side effects of thyroid meds are identical to hypothyroid symptoms.
But why is that?
@@ttephi3667 Good question. I don't know but it can be very frustrating. Having a doctor that listens to your concerns, helps.
Be well, friend.
Yep! Because the medicine the doctor gave does not help me at all.
@@MrsMarks I understand because I experience that too. You too friend 😊
@@mahoganyshanae6116 Mine helps but still experience so many hypothyroid symptoms. Hope it improves for you.
Dr Berg, is it right with patch test? is it not opposite??? Thx
The results of the iodine patch test is contradicted by a Google search. It says if the iodine is absorbed quickly you are deficient. This is from more than one source. They also use 24 hours for the test. Please clarify this for me.
I have known about iodine test from several sources, and you are right - if it disappears you are deficient. A variation of the test is to do three patches - light, average and thick. This helps to see the degree of iodine deficiency, i.e. if even the light one doesn’t disappear you are good, if the medium one you may have some deficiency, if the thick one you are in trouble.
@@JN-wr9he This is exactly why you don't want to get medical advice from the internet.
I think the iodine test result Dr Berg is talking about is the other way round. If after an hour the iodine patch is NOT visible then your body absorbed it because you are deficient. If the patch is visible after that hour then you are NOT deficient because your body did NOT need it thus did not absorbed it.
Gosh, thank you!! I have suspected I have hypothyroidism for a long time and my test have come back negative and I have ALL the signs and symptoms.
My sisters test came back negative over and over then turned out she had it. I have hypothyroidism too. I’m also on a weight loss journey and it’s so tuff to lose weight with hypothyroidism, but I lost a 100 lbs so far and have 120 lbs more to lose.
Check your temperature before you move around in the morning. the lower it is from 98.6 degrees, the more you have a low thyroid.I have studied this and this is the best, easiest test I've found.
Been on thyroid medicine for about 23 years now. Nothing has changed. Still tired, my hair is thinning, and I have gained 30 plus lbs. All test ( blood ) now say normal. I've always had dry skin. I've been lucky enough to not have depression. I wonder if mine is something else.
Have you tested the "TPO"? All of my other thyroid tests (such as T3, T4, etc.) are in the good range. But TPO is 500+, so my Naturopathic Doctor said that counts as having Hashimoto's.
This is insane that they’re doing this for a start 🤯 thanks for the great info
