I bought me some kombu kelp and I weigh 0.1g of it to take daily. It's kinda funny I just sprinkle that tiny bit on my salad but that contains all the iodine I need and the natural way too.
"Thyroid containing sausages" sounds like some kind of ghoulish witchery.
What about a pinch of kelp every week or so ?
I stopped eating eden foods pinto beans because they add kombu seaweed to them, I was excited about them because they have no added salt. But I felt uncomfortable w/the added seaweed, i kept wondering how much sodium does the seaweed add? After listening to this video I'm glad I listened to myself and stopped eating that brand. Now I have more reasons to care about how much seaweed is added to products.
ohhh I would love to know the deal on kelp noodles…
I’ve been taking too much iodine, it caused my tsh to go upto 7.10. How can I reverse (detox) the excess iodine in my system?
I was taking Sea Seasonings org. Kelp granules. Recommended dosage is one teaspoon, which obviously is way too high because when I was taking the recommended dosage for less than a week.. my hair started falling like dry needles off an old Christmas tree!!!
Horrible!
1 gram of slightly cooked kombu. That should be fine.
I take a Kelp tablet from the brand Solgar everyday, which has 200 mcg of iodine or 133% DV. Is it too much, if i do not consume any other sources? Thank you.
Everybody has bind spots. Dr. Greger is no exception. The healthiest, longest lived people in the world (Okinawans who eat their traditional diet) eat seaweed at EVERY MEAL and are estimated to get 200 mg of iodine every day of their adult lives.
To understand "how much iodine is too much", you have to consider how much exposure you have had to the toxic halides (fluoride and bromide). Most Americans have been heavily exposed to both fluoride and bromide, so taking high amounts of seaweed or higher dose supplements will inevitably result in "detox" symptoms as the toxic halides are excreted.
How much is "too much" also depends on how much mercury is in your body (seafood, silver/mercury "amalgam" dental fillings). Mercury (and cadmium from cigarette smoking) deplete our bodies of selenium. Selenium is extremely important for liver function.
Brazil nuts are a great source of selenium.
Dr David Brownstein is my iodine hero. Here is a presentation he gave in 2011:

After reading Dr Brownstein's book on iodine, I doubled my iodine every day until I got to 6,000 mcg. I bought my first bottle of Iodoral (12.5 mg) and increased a half tablet every week until I got to 50 mg daily.
You may want to take it slower than I did. lol
If you are dealing with a serious disease I highly recommend finding a medical doctor who is familiar with Dr Brownstein and go faster.
I have recommended this slower approach to friends, family and customers for over ten years and have had excellent results.
Start with a supplement that has 40 or 60 mcg iodine per drop. Increase a drop a week until getting to 10 drops daily.
Finish the bottle at 10 drops a day and then move up a 600 mcg per drop supplement and again increase one drop per week until taking 10 drops daily.
Then you can move on to Lugols solution, Iodoral…or what I am using now SSKI.
Or use SSKI from the start and custom make your own dosage per drop.
I went from Bernard Jensen's "Liqui-Dulse", to Heritage "Atomidine", to the 12.5 mg Iodoral, to the 50 mg Iodoral, to the maximum strength SSKI by Morgellons.
I took 200 mcg of selenium by New Chapter (400 mcg when I was smoking cigarettes) and now I eat a few brazil nuts every day.
how much Iodine is to much?
Thank you Dr.Greger! đŸ™‚ <3
It'd be wonderful if you could post it to this specific video on nutritionfacts. org. This way more people benefit from the response, and I can actually provide you with links (which I can't do on Youtube). Thanks!
…Upon calling Solaray to ask about the iodine levels in one 600 mg capsule of kelp, I was told that would be nearly impossible to measure, and therefore, was not even given so much as a range of the amount of iodine that may be present. Dr., in your opinion, is one 600 mg of kelp per day safe, especially for someone who will be trying to conceive in the near future? If not, does another safe, effective, and affordable vegan supplement exist?
Question: As a vegan who primarily uses sea salt, I'm concerned about my iodine levels. I prefer to take a supplement rather than table salt or eat sea vegetables. However, the only iodine supplement that I've found at my local health stores is kelp. …
