Dr. Berry, Thank you for your guidance with getting me on the right path for a healthier life. Since Jan. 1, I’ve lost 48 pounds, feeling great! My goal is 100 pounds. Keep up the great work, you’re a great American!
Mike Kern That’s brilliant 👍🏼 x Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You hang in there! It's depressing to yo-yo diet -
it makes you lose confidence in yourself! Once
your body gets used to eating healthy foods,
you will find it easier and easier TO stay on track! The best of luck to you!
I’m overwhelmed, thanks to all for your support. Dr. Berry invested so many hours in education and research, I feel I would let him down by not applying what he’s sharing, or not giving him the credit he deserves for my successful journey to this point. And thanks to my family.
Wow! Congratulations on your impressive path of health!
Mike Kern what’s the reason for the weight loss.. What do you contribute the weight loss to mainly. Or what’s the main factor that achieved such a great result. Congratulations to you and thanks for your encouragement. All blessings

I have an interesting story to tell about the use of iodine. In its day you bought a small bottle and used it as an antiseptic for a small wound. I recall my parents applying it many times during the course of my outside playing. On one occasion I had a sore throat. My father took a look and said in was red, swollen, and looked as if there was pus. It hurt a lot. Well he took a long swab dipped it in the iodine and very quickly coated the back of my throat. Immediately it cleared up! No pain, no redness, no pus. And no doctor visit.
Yep. I recall that medicine as well. I guess we are showing our age. LOL. Be safe.
I don't think i ever used mercurichrome, but do remember the name. I do however remember my father bringing home liquid mercury from work in a plastic pill bottle and me playing with it. Now, if there is even a tiny bit of mercury that escaped, everyone is evacuated and hazmat team comes in. I'll never know if that exposure will have caused any future illnesses...I'm 61 now in 2021 so this was back in around 1970ish..
Methylene blue was also used against oral thrush or a beginning urinary trakt infection... It's a shame this medicine doesn't exist anymore.
@@leftoverciccia How do you know it doesn't?
@@x.y.7385 elemental mercury is poorly absorbed. It's the salts of mercury that are very dangerous, a famous case being a researcher that got splashed with 2 drops and died some time later after her body shut down.
I started taking sea kelp and it saved my fat ass. I was napping every day after work, craving carbs, hungry a lot, I gained 40 lbs in a month. 4 years later I'm down 65 lbs with a low carb diet, sea kelp, and magnesium.
Hi Shelly, I’m glad you found what helped you. Can you tell be what kind of sea kelp and magnesium you used?
Yes pls, I'd like to know how much kelp you're taking also. I just received mine in the mail. Thanks.
I use Solar Ray Magnesium Glycinate 400 MG 1x a day. And Nature's Way kelp. It has 270 mcg of iodine in it. Hope it helps ♥️
Haha, that opener! I also found a few things that jack up your iodine absorption like competition with bromate and fluoride from tap water or processed foods. ✌🏻
@@winstonbrown347 😂😂😂 I agree that opener lol
I had cysts since I was a child, heavy periods yielding huge clots, nodules, cystic breasts, dry, thin hair that got to a point where I didn't cut my hair for two decades and there was no obvious growth. I know it did grow, but was falling out and thinning at the same time. I had digestive problems from childhood and had to study constantly to pass tests then walked away forgetting it all. No taste buds, brittle nails, dry skin; overweight. I started using the iodine in the form of kelp time's one week. I noticed my thinking is more clear. I give all the Glory to God for pointing me to this video teaching and for creating these elements for supplement and for guiding you in this revelation.
I have taken off and on iodoral and recently stopped taking it again because I discovered after having an emotional day which related it back to the Iodoral. I found out that it was producing a die off of toxins in my system. Honestly don't know if it has really helped me or not. I'm still struggling with exhaustion as I had all my life. I'm praying for wisdom from the Lord.
I'm glad you found what is working for you. Thank God you didn't give up considering what you went through.
Oh my, I had or have all of those symptoms. Going to start taking kelp again.
@@di4085 your issue might not be iodine related. Look into B1 and the work of Elliot Overton, also try transdermal Magnesium. And consider getting a hair tissue mineral analysis with a consultation. And check all of your vitamin levels.
@@di4085 Depending on your age it most likely is thyroid related. Thyroid hormone is needed by every cell in your body. Get a oral 30 second thermometer and check your temperature when you first wake up, again before lunch, again before dinner, and again before bed. If your temperature at any time is below 97.9 then you are hypothyroid. The closer it is to 98.6 the better your thyroid is working. Another thing it could be is anemia which if you are anemic can cause poor thyroid function. Get a full CBC panel and look at your RBC count which should be in the mid to high 4s at the minimum. Also check your ferritin levels which should be in the 70-100 range at the minimum. You could also do a thyroid panel but they are not very reliable. The oral temperature test is more accurate for men and for women as well as long as they are not on their cycle which in that case temperature fluctuations occur.
You just described me as a child. There's hope! Thank you for your testimony, and may God continue to bless you with good health. ❤
I started to cry as I watched this video! No one seem to know what was wrong with me. No matter how well prepared my foods were I gained weight. My brain was scrambled eggs and only I saw the goiter! I had to show it to my doctor. I had EVERY symptom! Nothing is worse than being sick and not knowing what is wrong with you!
I feel your pain. I know the feelings. It's terrible
Me to,take care
So what did you do about the problem?
Modern doctors don't even look at a person. It's all about quick turn around , money .money .money.
I've got all these sym6exceot the goiter, every time I ask dr to do blood tests specific for thyroid function , I get a look that says, dont tell me what to do!
I've asked so many times...one doctor refused outright. Another said I was in the "normal" range. Normal for whom?
It's so frustrating. As a woman we are really overlooked by male doctors, they just expect us to put up with our symptoms, or they say lose weight, with no following advice....
I have often said Doctors do not Know what is wrong. The best you can hope for is an educated guess.
Cold hands and feet, depression&anxiety, hair loss, cannot lose weight even on keto brain fog, I cannot remember words, I’m going to start taking iodine now!!
I have all those, too, and hypothyroid on Synthroid but I need more help. Going to start the iodine, but taking it cautiously and slowly. God bless you, I hope it helps you.
How did it go?
Did it help?
I have Autism, ADHD, and untreated Type 2 Diabetes (no insurance, therefore no doctors and no medicine), so when I started feeling a lot of these symptoms you just described I just brushed it off as related to those medical issues and the depression associated with it. However, at the start of this year the symptoms started getting much worse, to the point that I could barely function. I stumbled across these videos about Iodine and Vitamin D deficiency and remembered that I had once been put on a high dose of Vit D because of deficiency in the past, so decided to start taking a 10,000IU Vit D3 supplement and a supplement that has a good source of Iodine, as well as B12 and several other minerals.
Within just a few days the difference was like night and day. Fatigue and brain fog eased up to a point that I was finally able to function as an adult again after not being able to for several months. After just a few weeks, my dry skin is starting to clear up and the unexplained cold feet has disappeared. I had also been having difficulty swallowing, and that has gotten much easier, so it wouldn't surprise me if I had a hidden goiter that is starting to go away.
I'm now working on adjusting my diet, as much as our very limited income will allow, but just having the knowledge that many of my worst issues were due to nutrient deficiencies has been a real life saver. So thank you!!
Thank you Laura! My 14yo son also has autism and ADHD and I am always looking for things that could help him
@@maiaallman4635 Well, these things will only really help those symptoms if they're due to vitamin deficiencies, but it definitely doesn't hurt to look into that if those symptoms exist.
I've also had good experiences with supplements such as Hemp Seed and things that help with focus. Though, I'm not medicated, and would be more cautious trying those things without consulting my doctor if I were because of possible medication interactions.
In the end, your support and understanding is going to be the biggest help for him and the thing he carries with him forever. As there is no miracle help for these things, just having someone understanding our limitations, our triggers, our meltdowns, as well as our strengths can make all the difference in the world. It takes just a little bit of the stress and weight off in a world that always feels hostile to us, both physically and emotionally.
I know it's not always easy, for him or for you, but knowing and being open to learning and listening is already your best asset in helping him overcome the hardships associated with ADHD and Autism. I wish I would have had that with my parents growing up, but I didn't learn about mine until well into my 30s and now realize that they both suffered undiagnosed themselves, with no clue how to help since they never had the support either.
I wish you luck on your journey! 🥰🤗
@@lauragilbert9326 Are there any clinics in your area that offer free health care to the uninsured?
@@TheSouthIsHot There is one, but last time I checked with them they wouldn't accept me because my husband works, despite how low that income is. It's possible it may have changed in the last decade, but I'm also agoraphobic and I have a really hard time making phone calls and filling out forms, so stuff like that usually just gets pushed aside. Of course, right now, caring for myself is my last priority. My husband has covid and my disabled mother (who relies on oxygen) lives with us. Going to be a trying few weeks.

There's more....fibrocystic breast disease, breast cancer, PCOS, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, fibroids. Every cell needs iodine. High dose of iodine has help my mother diabetes, as the pancreas is part of the endocrine system and insulin is a hormone. Research Dr. David Brownstein, Dr. Jorge Flechas, and Dr. Guy Abraham.
JJ HAWK You’re welcome. Glad to help :)
I started on iodine for a low thyroid. I've finally lost weight after years of trying !
I had 6 out of 9 symptoms. 2 years ago. Got laid off from work because of it. Went to dr tests showed everything was ok. Did a search on fatigue and found iodine as 1 reason. Went back to dr and asked about it and a test for it. Showed iodine was low. Started taking iodine and was greatly improved in a few days.
What kind of iodine and how much?
@@katherinegeorge2400 l use J.Crow's Lugol's solution 2%. 2 drops a day on food or in drink.

Ohhhh my goodness, I'm a senior widow and you hit on every symptom I've been having. Dr said it's all due to diabetes but you've given me much hope 🙏 God bless you 👑🙏
It’s also due to diabetes
Improve ur diet and stop snacking
Try eating only in a 4 hr time window a day
@@YeshuaKingMessiah
Many people who HAVE diabetes DO NOT have those symptoms and, they also DON'T have any sort of thyroid problems!
Just started supplementing with iodine. Sleeping and energy have been outstanding

Where can I get iodine drops???
I'm always concerned I might take too much.
@@Mer3001 wow! Super encouraging, thank you. I Am menopausal now, as much as I don’t want to believe it 😭and supporting my thyroid and hormones is paramount to this change. I also take a b complex that is legit, a tri blend maca, krill oil and K2 from my hens wonderful eggs along with my minerals. Doing ok, but could be better. I actually have lugals or is it Lugol’s Iodine I believe it’s called? I will take it now!!
Can you tell me what you did to add to your intake
I believe iodine deficiency also plays a major role in uterine fibroids. And iodine is one of the most important nutrients for avoiding and helping to reduce breast cancer.
This is absolutely crazy ! I have already been operated twice for this problem and my doctor never even mentioned it might be an iodine deficiency! At one point she even suggested to remove my uterus now that I was over 45 and won’t “need” it anymore. I refused this but went ahead with the operation. She removed the fibroids and told me they might come back like before as I was prone to this problem! If they do come back, I’ll check my iodine levels first!
@@fluffy9592 oh my goodness!! I recommend looking into kelp and bladderwrack and other seaweeds so you can get the highest dose while never forcing your body to absorb more than it can/needs. And maybe dont wait!
I was stuck by how all people I’ve known who had thyroid issues are women
@@fluffy9592 If you’re done having kids or no longer want kids, I would suggest fibroid embolization. It less invasive and is much more effective than surgical removal. It essentially stops blood flow to the fibroid tumors and they shrink and goes away. Unfortunately, for women still in their child bearing years who would like to still have kids this option isn’t ideal as you need good blood flow to the uterus to support a baby’s growth.
@@mtnblubird4304 thank you very much for your input, I’m going to buy some seaweed and do some blood tests! 😊👍
I read how women who suffer from uterine issues like fibroids, pcos, etc. found relief and healing with upping their iodine.
I wish I had known this back in 2013. I had a complete hysterectomy because of pcos and fibroids. 😢 I have fibro, chronic fatigue and all the other symptoms of low iodine. I’m just learning this tonight so I’m ordering some iodine.
@@Teresa-xq5ut ...same 😭
@@Teresa-xq5ut please check out dr. David Brownstein iodine book.
@Livingtoxicfree it’s been 7 months since you posted this. How’s the iodine supplement helping you!!
I had 3 growths on my thyroid. The doctors said they weren’t big enough to treat. The largest was 11mm. They wanted to send me on my way and rescan in 12 months. I researched home remedies, thyroid illnesses and came across iodine.
I started taking daily oral iodine. I lost 20kg within two months and on my 12 month rescan the nodule’s had completely disappeared. No sign of them. They’ve never came back.
What kind of iodine did you take and how much?
What dosage did you take daily?
Even weight loss ? Extremely underweight but thyroid reports shoe normal..
My NP ordered an ultrasound after I complained about breast pain. I have several large cysts. NP said there was nothing to do other than take Advil…no mention of iodine or any other potential causes. Recently started taking iodine and I feel so much better overall and no more breast pain. I wish more medical professionals would discuss nutrition with patients.
My period was always late. I thought I was pregnant every month for over a year, but then I did some research and realized iodine deficiency can cause ovulation problems. I started eating more fish and after a couple of months my period normalized.
@Jasmine Shorter i don't have pcos. My periods normalized after taking iodine. I had many other iodine related symptoms. A goiter, fibrocystic breasts, bloating in various places. And pcos is just another manifestation of insulin resistance and blood sugar problems. So being on a keto diet should resolve these issues but it didn't. I lost weight and my period got worse.
Watch out for too much mercury
I have a child with Graves’ disease so I have to be careful about iodine with her. It’s tricky because I can’t just add iodine for her. Thankfully, since switching to strict carnivore, her goiter went down, symptoms have reversed, labs showed Graves reversing and now her labs show no sign of Graves! I am still on high alert. She also is a Type 1 diabetic. Her health has been out of this world since diet change and I often hear her telling her friends all about how carnivore is changing her life. ♥️
Meanwhile, I’ll keep studying.
Not an expert here, but you might look into a good apple cider vinegar. Dr. Berry has a drink concoction that his wife developed that is really pretty good, and ACV is supposedly good for reducing blood sugar, as I believe, is N-Acetyl Cysteine. Research!!
I have Graves and I would love more info on Graves and iodine supplementing! I got off meds with Carnivore 2 years ago and few days back I bought iodine supplement. I am still not sure if it is OK to use it but I started 😅
Desiccated liver will help if added as well
Good job, Mama!!!!
@@notacommie5415 How would you know that?
My son gained 45 lbs in 2 months and tired so much he couldn’t stay awake. His iodine came in 46 when range is 52-109 and dr didn’t do crap , two drs. So I got my son iodine and followed a Fb protocol and he’s losing weight and he’s awake and doing better. Noticed in day 1 and day 5 he turned a corner. He has a gluten free diet for 13 yrs that lead to psychosis !!!
Dr. Berry, at this moment I feel like my life has been changed. I am 25 years with RA and had Covid 8/2020. I have been trying to recover for 6 months. I lost all my hair. I listened to your talk on Iodine the other day and ordered some. I have been taking it for almost a week, 3 drops in a small glass of water daily. I also cut my 88 mcg Synthroid in half and have not felt this good in over 6 months. My energy is coming back and I do not have my all day long fatigue and dark mood. I am going to continue to monitor my blood work with my doctor to make sure my thyroid is functioning properly. Thank you for changing lives!
Get you some Selenium thstcworks better then the meds the doc prescribed. I take thst with vit D zinc and fish oils and my antibodies we t fro. 800 to 130 in about a year . Maybe a little less
@@whateverheather655 I agree .. selenium is also very important.
Got my blood work results 4 weeks ago and Dr. said thyroid not functioning and to go back on full dose of medication of 88 mcg Synthroid. I am frustrated and wish I could afford to go to a naturopath to get me straightened out. I don’t want to throw my whole system off by playing with my meds but I felt better without the high dose of thyroid. I am back to having heart palpitations and just a feeling of being lethargic. Should I have tried more iodine daily with half dose of thyroid, plus selenium? Already taking D3, folic acid, multi vitamin. Having debilitating hot flashes all day and night. I am a mess!
Thank you for the effort and care you put into your work. What you do truly is appreciated
The simple test for iodine deficiency is to put a drop on your wrist and rub the iodine into the skin with your other wrist. Leave overnight while the iodine is absorbed easily into the body. If your skin clears of the yellow colour very quickly you have an iodine deficiency so keep putting a couple of iodine drops rubbed into your wrists every night until you wake in the morning with yellow still there, then you will have sufficient iodine.
Iodine lack causes cysts and you can topically add iodine to those to remove them along with warts and skin tags and psoriasis.
Anyone mix iodine with DMSO for topical application for better results?
Skin tags and psoriasis or any skin condition are indications that you are metabolically challenged meaning your blood sugar is too high.
@@gmpaul115 Great question, but I think iodine is absorbed topically well enough that it isn’t necessary, but love that train of thought!
Can you get iodine naturally. How do you become deficient. Especially before people knew Iodine
Interesting this test. Ive just read about it and it is the "old fashioned" way of doing it but still a good approximation.
Great info, as always!
Thanks Doc!
Awesome info‼️ A great opener. THANK YOU 🙏🏻
Thank you SO MUCH DOCTOR !!!
As always your videos are on point! Ordered some iodine drops to make sure my wife and I are where we need to be! Thanks so much!
What are the odds I search this information the same day that you post it? Right on time doc 👍🏽
Thanks for all your great info❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dr Ken: what about sea kelp for iodine supplementation?
OMG! A doc that is giving all natural solutions to simple and major problems that most Americans lack from foods being GMO or processed till the nutrients are mainly depleted. You may want to also mention the use of Iodine outside the body and it's healing capabilities. Bless you sir.
Check out Dr Eric Berg. He's another really good one.

Dr Ken I have all those symptoms with weight loss and suffering from chronic dehydration not matter how much I drink I felt so dry inside and out and become adrenal fatigue desperate because I don’t know what to do I know that I am also suffering from I have all the symptoms too, could you tell me if having adrenal problems I could also take iodine? Thank you
Thank you. I swear, I have EVERY SINGLE symptom. I have subscribed and will anxiously watch other videos
Thank you Dr. Ken for another informative video ..........l
Thank you for the info. It’s greatly appreciated. All that being said, at the moment, I don’t trust the docs these days and will not go for tests nor will I let anyone inject me with anything. I have no, none, nada, zip trust in our medical community these days.
Same here..
You and I think exactly alike but for one point.the medical "community" IMHO is really the medical industry! Things have certainly changed. When I was a kid our doctors made house calls and we knew we could trust them.
Thank you 😊 and such a beautiful delivery of an important message. 🥰🥰
Excellent video!! Thank you!
Very interesting. My wife has all of the symptoms you just explained. I have several ! Thank you so much for your knowledge.
Thank you, Doc! Still loving you in Shreveport!

Thanks for everything. I wish we had doctor like you in Quebec. Not many.
Thank you for providing the links to the videos you mention in the video. Many UA-cam channels do not do this and it can be very frustrating trying to find them.
My cold hands and feet improved within minutes of taking the drops, thank you so much for putting this info out there.
Thank you and great timing I was planning to buy iodine (sea kelp) this morning. I will check out that foo list too for iodine. :)
Thank you Dr. Berry. I no longer just watch your videos but heed and do what you say. Ordering the iodine drops.
Thanks for sharing Brother God bless you 😇🙏🏾
one sing u forgot to mention this time is pain (for some women)in their breasts. THAT was an amazing tip u gave a while back when talking about iodine...too bad u didnt mention it this time cause it was one thing that saved my sanity
YES!!!!! Took mine away immediately! And I told a friend who was having same problem (both of us menopausal) and she got immediate relief, also.
Can u make a video about overweight/diabetes who get neuropathy? Many obese get that, and thats one thing to do with diabetes and insulin resistance. Pls
My breast pain went completely away!
BM 22 There have been many videos related to and touching on this subject. The ones I have seen are from Dr. Berry, Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Jason Fung, and Dr. Sten Eckberg and I am sure there are more. From what I understand is if you get the weight and diabetes under control through a low carb high fat diet, the diabetes will remit and you can fix the insulin resistance. You can take Benfotiamine and alpha lipoic acid for the neuropathy. I’m hearing this works.
katmeyster How much did you take?!
I have hypothyroidism, and even though it's been treated, I still very often have ALL the symptoms, except a goiter, which you mentioned.
I did purchase nascent iodine and in the past week I finally started taking it. I also have been using iodine topically for an infection/inflammation on my chin that only clears up with topical iodine. Within 60 minutes the topical iodine was absorbed, so I knew I was deficient, and that is why I started taking the nascent iodine.
Results? As usual, the infection/inflammation on my chin started clearing. Now for the very surprising part for me...for the previous 3 days, I have not needed any nap, which is abnormal for me (I usually crash, taking 2-3 hour naps every day)!!!
Thank you very much for this video, which confirms my experience in needing iodine supplementation in addition to treating my hypothyroidism.
Hi, can you tell me you dose? I’m not sure how many drops.
@@missloveblunn5595, you should follow the directions for your particular product. That's what I'm doing with mine, following the directions on the bottle of nascent iodine.
Excellent video!!!!
Thank You very much!!!!💖💖💖💖🦋
Great presentation!!!!
Great information!!!!!
Thanks Dr. Berry for this very helpful information! You're the best!
Had a goitre large enough to block blood flow if I raised my arms over my head. Doctor kept feeding me lithium until thyroid had to be removed - with no consideration for the goitre. (benign thyroid nodules). No discussion from any of my doctors - GP, endocrinologist, psychiatrist - that this could be addressed nutritionally. Surgery was the option, and the surgeon damaged my voice in the process. You don't realise how much you take your voice for granted until they knock an octave off the top of it. Please, friends, try and address your thyroid problems nutritionally before letting a surgeon go in and "fix it."
This makes me so sad. This also happened to my father-in-law. His voice was never the same. Killed his thyroid and he was on supplements for the rest of his life
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I had a surgeon also want to take my thyroid out because of benign thyroid nodules, big enough to look like a goiter. But I refused. Only because I had never had thyroid issues and they couldn't tell me why I got nodules etc. I than started iodine. Even though they told me I couldn't possible be Iodine deficient and wouldn't test me for it. But I don't eat table salt and had a pretty strict veggie diet that wasn't high in iodine. I also stopped smoking. I wish you nothing but the best. I know how convincing doctors can be. I'm so sorry they didn't work with you more before damaging your voice and leaving you feeling a loss.
@@killpretty13 Thank you. I did have hypothyroid, and likely hashimotos, but they weren't testing much for that in the 90's when goitre started forming. TECHnically, I guess it was nodules but they were pretty large. GOOD ONYA for resisting. I didn't have much resistance at the time as I was numbed out on psych drugs (also likely for hypothyroid "depression") and so - just did as I was told.
I have dry skin too depressed sometimes trouble in memory
Thank you, Dr. Berry! Great information!!!
Hello doc. Your skin looks amazing in this video! Thanks for the info.
Brain fog is much more than simple forgetfulness. It's like a haze in your brain (hence the name) that makes it hard to understand what people are saying to you, or grasping concepts which are usually within your reach. Brain fog is an incredibly common experience among people coming of psych drugs, I have a lot of experience with this.
Correct. wish we had more understanding in this. but iodine might help it in a way some thing needs healing can be infectous no matter ware its accuring.
You have taught me so much. I have recently been diagnosed with Hasimotos because I followed your advise and asked for the proper tests. Thank you.
Check out Dr. Courtney Hunt and read her free book. She had Hashimotos too.
Just ordered the drops, thank you! 😊
Thanks for your efforts to increase awareness. I’m in the health field and have primary raynauds, searched high and low for a treatment. Started deep sea kelp 4 weeks ago, have not had any episodes since, hands now pink and warm even in our winter.

Im glad I’m not the only one with Raynauds though I’m sorry you are all dealing with it as well. I definitely need to try iodine, my hands are always incredibly bright red and painfully dry because of it so if that will help I’m willing to try it.
While I don’t have raynauds my thyroid endocrinology is all screwed up so fingers toes nose are always freezing icey
Daily kelp does zero for it
Share about the other benefits. We are family. God bless you.
The Doc speaks at just the right 1X speed to still understand him at 2X speed.
Thanks Doc!
Hi Dr. Berry I have to say great 👍 video as many people aren’t aware about the importance of iodine, and it is overlooked, thank you for bringing an important video on with pertinent information
Oh my goodness. I am so low in iodine. I have all these signs.
I never put 2 and 2 together until I started having trouble eating food. First it was things like bread, later it was drinking water! That's when I went, "uh oh. Something is really wrong with my throat." So I checked the area and realized I was getting goiter! I started taking a thyroid supplement and saw improvement in only 2 days. Here is the symptoms I had that I ignored up until the goiter:
Hair thinning very rapidly
Super dry skin on hands and feet that I never had before
Extreme tiredness even when I wake up, and fitful sleep.
Gaining weight while eating the same diet
Already my skin is looking better, I am not so tired, and I can swallow food.
You offer great help doctor!
Very helpful Dr. Berry! Thank you
Dr. Berry, thank you for this video. I have suffered from hair loss, chronic fatigue, cold hands and feet, depression, and brain fog for nearly two years. I also crave carbohydrates to the point of madness. I have always been slim, but have gained 20 pounds during this time as well. I started going keto three days ago. I never thought I would be so excited about a possible mineral deficiency. I’m going to get some Iodine today! I’ve tried everything else. I pray this is the answer.
Doctors never show the slightest interest in iodine, thyroid problems unless you are grossly obese. Don't bother going to your doctor with a discussion in relation to iodine in mind; they won't take you seriously.
Good luck I lost 9 kg on keto and got a whole lot of saggy lines on my arms. But I feel so much better. Will try iodine for the carb cravings too though I heard there was a shortage of it on the chemist's shelves. Is there such a thing as organic iodine and is it better than non-organic?
@Sharon Barker Those are ALL symptoms of hypothyroidism (I've had it for 30 years), you should get your thyroid levels checked. God bless.
@@L4JRapture Thank you:) And yes, it WAS thyroid problems! My mom and sister both had goiters. My mom ended up having surgery, and had her’s removed. My sister sadly died in a car accident before hers was resolved. I don’t know why it never donned on me that I could possibly have a problem as well. I think it was because I was the tall slim one in the family, at 120 pounds, and just didn’t recognize the same symptoms they had, and didn’t realize that that made zero difference. Lol I’m so thankful I’m finally being treated.
@@sharonbarker5751 I'm so sorry your sister died in a car accident - my sister (my only sibling) also died that way. Glad you're getting treatment, God bless you!
After watching your talk about low iodine.
It really hit me with symptoms that my wife has.
We ask our PA and she had never heard of it but she did have it checked and came to find out my wife was extremely low. Now taking a supplement to counter that. Feel like this was a problem for many years.
May answer many questions.
Thanks and Blessings to you
Your info is gold!
Thank u for this info! Really interesting
This is interesting.
Should iodine be taken orally or applied externally ie topically
Dr.Ken
I just want to thank you for all your advice and the time you take on sharing good health❤
God Bless You

I'm constantly exhausted, can hardly keep my eyes open, will make an appointment with my Dr. Thanks for this video
I will definitely check this out because last time I felt something was seriously off my doctors told me it was in my head for years turned out. Had cancer they just never bothered to run tests or anything just looked at me said “you look fine” and sent me home. Mind you this was right after 7 years of them telling me my horrible pain in my abdomen was also in my head and that ended up almost killing me because of t was my appendix bursting then healing then bursting then healing over and over again. They never looked into it because it turned out my appendix was right above my female parts and not where it was “supposed to be.” So now I don’t deal with doctors as much as I can help it and I’ve been displaying these very symptoms for a decade and now that I know it’s not anemia from cancer this could be it because I never have an appetite and I force myself to try to eat. Usually if I get hungry I crave carbs but again no real energy to make anything so I’ll eat carrots or rice you microwave in a bag once a week (trying for once a day but that takes too much energy to do some days.) I really hope this can explain my problem because that seems to be the only thing not on any test doctors ran blood wise and it was never even suggested. I just want to get healthy again so I can get back to being as athletic as I use to be I miss being active and able to function.
Doctors kill about 200,000 people a year by making mistakes.
Dr. Berry I would love to hear your thoughts on ME/CFS. That is the last diagnosis I got after Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Plantar Fasciitis, Obesity, and Celiac. I am currently off all medications thanks to Keto but I still get the ME/CFS crashes if I push too hard. I know studies have shown that ME/CFS effects us on the Mitochondrial level and they have found it to be neurological in nature, but because of the improvement I have seen in myself, I can't help but believe it is related in that metabolic way. Keep bringing us this wonderful and super helpful information you are an awesome person for doing this and I wish you all the karmic payback you deserve.
Please please please this would be an incredible video
If exercise makes you worse, that is a hallmark of CFS/ME that does not exist with many of the other ‘worse diseases’…. It’s called PEM (post exertional malaise)
Vitamin B1/thiamine is needed for mitochondrial function and is nearly always deficient in CFS. Check out Elliot Overton's videos based on the work of Derrick Lonsdale, MD.
Excellent very much needed thank you doctor berry
Holy crap. I checked every box. I'm 61 so I expect some things to happen. Thanks Doctor.
Everyone taking about sea kelp might also look into a more effective and reliably measurable option: J Crow's lugols iodine solution 2%. I've used this for years - 3 drops a day in 3 ounces of water, coffee or tea
@@satbobsmith7261 that is good to know. I get mine from Amazon. Well crap. Thank you.
Does it have a taste?
@@jerritanner275 i drink it in my water and I no longer can taste it. Some people put it in their coffee or tea.
Thanks Stacy. I’ve just ordered
I have started taking sea kelp from Holland and Barrett , recommended 3 tablets daily due to a little research on Sinuses , 👌🏻
All these symptoms plus, a couple of others.These are the signs I have.
Very Interesting
Thank You Dr
Thank you so much Dr. Berry you are correct a lot lot of Doctors miss this ! Appreciate you and your info ♥️🙏🏾
Also sore fibrocystic breasts . I had this . Iodine and selenium cured this . It’s also called a bromide detox .
Crosses room, doses iodine drops, continues watching video
Went to amazon and put it in my cart for when I have money
Excellent info
I have every single one of these symptoms. I will try the foods you suggest. Thank you so much Dr!
I heard a few days ago that and I got some tincture of iodine and have taken 1 drop of it in a glass of water and have found it is taking my dry skin aw away. It has helped my feet as well. I think I shell take it until I know that my problems have been completely taken care of.
OMG. My late husband had every one of these symptoms for over twenty years including the goiter but none of his doctors mentioned this.
Seem like every time I bring something up they think I’m a hypochondriac, that and I think they really don’t know,
Get iodine!!! It boosted my energy and focus 1000%
I am the same, I suffered from these symptoms for decades(no goiter though, that I knew of) and no doctor ever warned me it could be due to iodine deficiency. Only when I read Dr. Brownstein's book Iodine: Why you need it, why you can't live without it did I discover this problem and work to start correcting it by taking iodoral.
@@bigguy130 I recently started taking the iodoral again only to discover that I had an emotional day and realized it was coming from the Iodoral so I stopped taking it. But I had read that it can create a die off and that's probably what I was experiencing. Very frustrating dealing with exhaustion all my life.
Yes and you know what's really bad is the endocrinologists are totally clueless on how to properly heal you.
Great information 👍
Thanks for sharing, Dr Berry.
hello doctor berry i was wondering if you could make a video on all the blood work we should get i saw you did a video with another youtuber and took alot of his blood lol was wondering what you where looking for unfortunately you are to far from me but would like to bring a list to a doctor near me
I have all of these symptoms, thank you so much. I have seen the Dr. so many times because of fatigue and brain fog but nothing is showing up on the tests, my Dr. tells me it's depression and tries to put me on anti-depressants but I dont want to take them. I am going to try the iodine, thank you so much.
Same here!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾This is great information, thank you!👍🏽
Great Channel Dr Eric Berg Just discovered your channel. Thank You Dr Eric Berg.Found this video very informative. Thx
Please explain the use of Lugols iodine drops. What are your recommendations! Thanks Doc! You are so appreciated!
I just got the same drops. Still not sure on how much to take also.
Read Dr Brownsteins book on iodine. I got mine from Amazon
All the symptoms you list are chronic with me. I thought it was an under-active thyroid. I am going to try an iodine supplement to see if things improve. Thanks for the heads up on this.
B
Did it work for you melody?
@@AKINYEMITVFILMS I have been taking an iodine supplement for about 3 weeks now. I would hope to see improvement in a couple of months. I reckon a 3 month trial is about fair as my problems have been around for many years and I don't expect miracles, but I will persevere.
@@AKINYEMITVFILMS another month but I have not really seen any real difference yet.
@@melodyschleicher81 how about now?
Oh god...i have all nine symptoms(except hair loss)...something told me to click on this video...Subscribed. 🙏🙏
Thank you for this!
Salt cravings as in iodized salt can be associated to carb craving like potato chips.
Yes! I was craving potato chips before bedtime and didn't know why. If I didn't eat them, I would toss and turn all night. It was my body trying to sell me I needed iodine. Now that I take a supplement, I don't eat the chips.
Ive heard that iodine helps decalcify the 3rd eye also know as the pineal gland.
Thank you for this information.
Thanks for making this video.
I have hashimotos and take a natural desiccated thyroid medicine as prescribed by my Dr. Is it okay to supplement with iodine under these circumstances? Thank you for making these amazing informative videos for us Dr. Berry! God bless
if its a steroid then be care full it can destroy your life. God demands man not to create what God all ready gave Man according to scripture but what to we really care or know what man can convince Man about our history.
Ask your own Dr is the best course as they know you and your health directly.
Thank you so much for your channel. I wish I had found it a while ago. I had all these symptoms big time progressively worse and worse until I got a HUGE goiter a couple months ago. After a stressful month of tests and biopsies they found no reason for the goiter and the Dr told me it's impossible it could be from an iodine deficiency. Never mind the fact I stopped using iodine salt several years ago and didn't really eat anything with much iodine in it. I asked him if this could be why I've been so unbelievably fatigued and he actually told me that the thyroid has absolutely nothing to do with energy! I can't believe it. I've always heard that it does. I just can't trust drs anymore. They wanted to remove it and I refused. Researched what foods help the thyroid and changed my diet drastically and the goiter has shrunk to almost nothing already!
Most dr. Dont even do the right test for you i had to ask my dr to do a zinc test he said ok ill do it but no way youre difeciant and my zinc was low. Im gonna ask him to do iodine test i have all the symptoms accept wight gain im severally fatigued at all times and tiered no matter how much i slept
Hello, how long did it take with iodine to see the goiter decrease? how much iodine did you take? Thanks
