In this video, we’re going to discuss iodine function and its many health benefits. The thyroid consumes about 6 milligrams of iodine daily, and the breast tissue consumes about 5 milligrams. The ovaries, brain, eyes, and the lining of your stomach all require significant amounts of iodine.
Iodine is highly antiestrogenic. Estrogen dominance increases the risk of cancer, especially in the breast, ovary, and uterus. Iodine causes cancer cells to self-destruct.
Iodine strengthens the thyroid, which improves your overall health. It also strengthens the immune system and reduces inflammation. Iodine is also vital for a healthy pregnancy.
Iodine is considered a halogen, so other halogens like bromide and fluoride compete with iodine in the body. Increasing your iodine intake can help detox these other halogens.
Try drinking water with unrefined sea salt for several days, then begin taking Lugol’s iodine solution—a mixture of two different types of iodine. Take this solution for about five days, then take two days off. Also, consume between 3 and 9 grams of vitamin C, 400 mg of magnesium, 100 mg of selenium, and the complete B-complex to detox these other halogens completely.
If you have hyperthyroidism, do not take iodine.
Just because you’re allergic to shellfish does not mean you are allergic to iodine. Goitrogenic foods like cruciferous vegetables and lima beans block iodine—but if you regularly consume sea kelp, it counters any bad effects. High amounts of iodine can be beneficial for respiratory viruses.
Iodine also binds with mercury and aluminum, helping rid the body of toxic metals.

Phenomenal, through dr bergs dedicated research, we are always getting information outside the box and i really appreciate it!
Can confirm, at least in my case, I have a shellfish allergy and safely take iodine regularly. The iodine detox I did years ago changed my life, and I actually found your channel years ago researching it. Thank you Dr. Berg!
You are very welcome. Glad I could assist.
How do you safely take iodine with a shellfish allergy?

Somebody’s psychic! lol I was just researching iodine yesterday. @@fidelcatsro6948
Wonderful to know this. Love your sarcastic remarks. Thank you, Dr Berg.
You’re absolutely welcome!
I remember when I was about 14, at my friends, his mum would always give us good information. She specifically mentioned Kelp, seaweed, which contain copious amounts of iodine. She told me it keeps cancer at bay, and kills cancer too. I always listened to her.
The seaweed isn’t always a good source.
@@kayyr.9909
Organic seaweed isn’t a good source?
@@Penka36916
Research maybe? I’ve read it’s not a good source if you get it in the USA .
@@kayyr.9909 nothing is safe or good in the USA hehe. I’m scottish, and scotttish and Irish seawead is good. Mayhe it was Dill seaweed also. But she did mention kelp
@@kayyr.9909 Why would seaweed from the Pacific coast be worse, you’re spouting nonsense.
10 years ago my flat tummy developed an overlap which became moist most of the time, Iodine dries it up and prevents a bacterial infection.
Katesisco thank you that’s great information
Dr. Berg,
you have helped me and my husband a lot with those very important messages.
Since about 2 years I just put your name on youtube and always find the right help from your videos.
Last year in July we startet Keto and IF., one meal a day. I lost 22 kg, now I am on 60 kg. I mostly avoided carbs, no take away, but ate very less fat, which was my problem.
I thank you very much, you are the best Doctor !
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bought liquid seaweed years ago..i take it to boost energy..just a bit helps.
Plus,it combates radiation exposure.

Some foods rich in Iodine (I) are: seaweed, shellfish, fish, coconut oil, dairy products, eggs, strawberries, cranberries, prunes.
*Data according to different sources.
I use 75 MG a day. Dr. Brownstein is very knowledgeable about iodine. Use the iodine protocol companion supplements.
Dr berg, please, please do some videos on hyperthyroidism. Most of your videos are on hypo…. I’ve been asking for a long time…. thank you
I’d also appreciate this
We bake bread with non-bromiated flour. I add about 2 drops of iodine to the dough sometimes, and it is amazing how it makes the dough spring up!
Thanks for info
Hello, which Flour you use? Thanks
Can you send me the name of the Flour? Thank you in advance
@@jacquelineferrer9309 I think King Arthur flours are not bromiated.
You are welcome.
Iodine is also a fantastic topical healer for cuts, burns, insect bites, acne, rashes, etc. While it is a very effective topical antibiotic, it actually just promotes healing faster than anything else.
I started taking Iodine a few days ago & have been watching a ton of videos about it. This came just in time. Thanks for helping us and giving us all this invaluable knowledge 🙂
Take a little selenium with it for better absorption. Get rid of gluten because it blocks iodine. Go to well educated natural health food store. Good luck
Recently started taking iodine and I have more energy than ever! I was thinking thyroid, but when you mentioned balancing estrogen, – bingo! I’ve always suffered from estrogen dominance as has every woman in generations. No wonder I feel so good! As always, you give such great advice and you don’t have to have an hour video to educate us. Thanks!
Here in Brazil there is a National law, they have to add iodine in the salt in a certain percentage.
