Seriously, magnesium is super important and affects a lot of other chemical pathways. You can get plenty of other vitamins and they won't do shit without adequate magnesium. Doubly so if you have issues with food/vitamin absorption from something like IBS.
The use of bromine in bread and other products has been significantly decreased. I checked Wal-mart's bread section and I couldn't find one with a "bromide" ingredient.
The anon in OP's image is absolutely right. It may not be deliberate, but iodine deficiency is probably the reason you may be tired all the goddamned time.
You're all stupid fucks if you aren't giving your pregnant women iodine, vitamin D, magnesium and fish oil. But don't overdo it. Even a moderate amount of iodine given to a pregnant woman for 2 weeks will be plenty. Don't flood their system with it. You fucking idiots need to make sure your children have every advantage. blah blah blah give them Pepsi and vaccines and let google take over
My wife asked her doctor about this because we had recently switched to using sea salt. Apparently the doctor said that it was almost impossible to suffer iodine deficiency while eating a modern diet. I don’t have an opinion on it either way, and should probably look into more, but that was the doctor’s strong contention. This was at one of the more prestigious university hospitals in the country, for what that’s worth.
I asked a nutritionist friend of mine about this the last time it was posted. She just laughed and said that milk and eggs have lots of iodine in them naturally, and that this just read like a viral marketing post for Lugol's aimed at conspiracy theorists.
I just take a fuckin multivitamin. Most Americans are also deficient in magnesium, and vitamin D. It's like 3 cents a day to take a good multivitamin, and even if I piss out most of it, I'm covering myself when I don't eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day or whatever the fuck I'm expected to do.
Salt is fucking weird. I've tried a teaspoon of salt (iodized table salt) in 16 oz of water and it tastes awful. But I have no problem eating it it on food or making sauerkraut with it. Broth also tastes great.
I don't trust salty foods to contain iodized salt though.
That's why I'm so jaded, running into so many dumb cunts claiming all kinds of nonsense on the internet. Strangely enough, most of them seem to be emboldened by the phrase "doctors are full of shit half the time", which is true, but still....
Strangely enough, most of them seem to be emboldened by the phrase "doctors are full of shit half the time" -- which is true, but so are half the people saying that....
A lot of people say "you shouldn't trust big pharma" as if that somehow means "you should trust me".
Sure it's good for you're teeth. That's why dentists often offer it during annual cleaning. You can even use a fluoride toothpaste if you want. Just don't poison you're water with it and you'll be fine.
If you need a pill or iodized salt to maintain a proper amount of iodine, your diet is for shit. You should address that basic fact, not continue eating like shit and try to fix it with a miracle solution.
Modern agriculture is the source of the problem. Only food grown near the oceans shore will contain iodine, beyond a certain distance the soil is lacking in minerals. Before the 1970's, iodine was being added to flour products. It was later replaced with bromine for unknown reasons. Therefore, eat more sea kelp. Like the Japanese do.
I didn't read this post a few months ago but I've been feeling the effects, or so I thought, of not having enough iodine. I came to quite a few of these conclusions myself. I think I'll be trying the supplements as just re introducing iodised salt hasn't helped as well as I'd expected.
It'll give you a dose of Iodine if you paint it on your skin, but you shouldn't do that to supplement and you definitely shouldn't ingest it. Kelp or Lugol's is what you want for supplementing.
It's far between that I stop talking shit and say "Hey, listen."
Hey, listen.
This is correct. You. Are. Deficient. Don't believe me? Go put some iodine on your skin. It should stay for hours. I about guarantee that you'll absorb all of it through your skin in less than an hour.
All my life my body temperature was low all the time. A few years ago, I had a suspicion about something so I tracked my temps. On waking up, my average body temp was 95.6. Clinically speaking, hypothermia is below 95 degrees: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Hypothermia/
One of you sick fucks was talking shit about the feminization of males and I started to do some research so I could tell this retard what a dumbass he was. I did end up proving that he was a certifiable retard but I also delved in to deep, dark corners of the web that y'all should just never touch and discovered that some people manage low body temps with iodine. Specifically, nascent iodine. Twice a day, three drops in a glass of water. Tastes like a fuckin' hospital but I did it. 18 months later, my body temp stays between 98.2 and 98.6 where it belongs.
You know what low body temps are a symptom of? Underactive thyroid. Like... heading into diabetes territory.
Check your temp, put some iodine on your skin. Especially if you're diabetic.
I've had low body temps my whole life. Always thought it was the Gluten causing my thyroid issues. Going to try this anons recommended regiment and track results.
My hands are extraordinarily sensitive to cold. Like to the point where I can't even hold a gallon of milk for longer than ten seconds or so without excruciating pain. I started taking iodine a couple years ago and miraculously the cold sensitivity went away as long as I took it at least every other day. I never stuck with it longer than a week at a time, wait a couple months then take it again for a week. I was scared of doing damage to my thyroid.
Excellent post. What, in anyone's experience, would be the best Iodine source and/or supplement? I've heard of seaweed/kombu/kelp, but that's overpriced IMO.
Sea Kelp capsules 500-600mg. 3-6 caps per day. Eat more eggs. Avoid refined carbs (eg. bread, pasta). High estrogen and stress levels will decrease iodine levels in the body.
I've been looking for a new nutrient supplement (after figuring out that the ones my family has been taking for years are basically just a combination of garbage and poison). Definitely saving this post and ordering the supplements.
Strongly recommend spirulina. You also get loads of choline, acetyl-choline is the most prevalent receptor site in the body and it's quite good for you.
Why not eat both? There are plenty of mixes out there which are just that. You only have to be careful about the source and cultivation method. Sun light grown is good, but only if you can guarantee a pure environment, which you can't. Always get indoor cultivated, never get from china, and always have your source tested and verified by a third party.
I have iodine and magnesium one day and spirulina the next it works great! I would also highly recommend this as the spirulina binds to and draws out the toxins.
I also read once that in case of a nuclear fall out, a shedload of Iodine can somehow protect you against some of the radiation but no telling how near or far one would have to be for it to work, either way Iodine/magnesium one day and Spirulina the next is pretty darn good. Together it felt a bit sick, lol but that could just be just me.
Iodine doesn't quite protect you from radiation, at least not directly: instead, a megadose of normal iodine will prevent your thyroid from picking up radioactive iodine, which can be slightly problematic.
I don't need iodine supplements, my entire life I have max salted just about everything that I eat. Table salt with iodine, not that hippy pink shit.
But, but, your blood pressure!... is perfect and I'm 52 (but look 40). Also a huge bonus of iodine is that it clears the thyroid of radioactive particles, radiation binds with Iodine first before it binds with your cells, it's why iodine is a treatment for radiation exposure.
BTW, I'm White, don't try this if you are a nigger, it will kill you.
That's not how supplement saturation works. If a radioactive isotope is already in your system then good luck getting it out with Iodine tablets. Supplement saturation is a prevention, not a cure. It works by saturating your body with a stable, non-radioactive version of a given element. So when you are exposed to radiation, any radioactive isotopes of that element that enter your body will not be absorbed and quickly excreted out as your body already has an excess of that given element.
Iodine tablets are used to prevent radiation exposure from Uranium and Plutonium, as Iodine-131 is a common fission product from those elements. Iodine-131 will fuck you up if it gets in you, so Iodine tablets are given to people working in and around nuclear reactors that run on Uranium. But if the radiation you are being exposed to is not Iodine and does not decay into Iodine, such as Cobalt-60, then Iodine tablets will do fuck-all for you.
Dude I do the same thing and am always surprised when I go to the doctor and they say my blood pressure is perfect. My grandfather used to put salt on everything too, I even had a doctor one time tell me to eat more salt because I sweat so much. Once I bought into the anti salt hype and reduced the amount of salt I eat, put me in the fucking hospital.
...I completely forgot about the "iodine tablets" that they used to constantly have on-hand in old tales where people were likely to be regularly exposed to radiation. Holy shit...
Potassium Iodine is one of the most important things to have around, just in case a nuke ever goes off in your back yard. Better to saturate your Thyroid with that instead of having it full of Iodine-131 instead.
Himalayan Pink Salt contains 80+ minerals. Morton's Iodized Salt is empty trash that is fortified with iodine. Yes you'll get iodine from it, but that's about it. Why not use Himalayan Pink Salt and supplement with iodine? get the best of both worlds. Also magnesium and vitamin D are worth looking into. Iodine is especially important prenatally, iodine increases IQ and decreases retardation when given to pregnant women. Another good iodine write-up also can be found at http://www.gwern.net/Iodine
A little heavy metals never hurt anyone... Better than that sodium fluoride, cancer viruses the NWO been given these citizens. We're meant to absorb heavy metals in moderation.
I like to practically drown my raw steak with salt before I warm up the grill. Cover in oil, smother in salt, and a bit of fresh pepper. Toss on hot grill until cooked.
I mean, if I'm just throwing salt in something I'm cooking, I'm cool with regular salt. If that salt is going to be used like seasoning though...
I've got some from the north Irish sea that is just killer on some good home made bread with Irish butter.
Sodium chloride is the same regardless if it comes from the Himalayas, Utah or North Irish sea. Yes sea salt is different than artificial table salt. But the whole "my sea salt comes from x" is just a bullshit hipster soyboy marketing ploy.
If you pull the cock out of your mouth, you'd know that sea salt is flavored by other minerals in it. Your tastes buds may not work anymore from the salty dick you've had in your mouth though, so I'd suggest at least rinsing it with something other than pabst blue ribbon. Maybe a good hipster craft brew.
Yep. It's mostly placebo/pseudo-science bullshit. It is possible to be iodine deficient, and that would have detrimental effects. But it's pretty rare. Most salt is iodized, despite what this leads you to believe. And if people buy seasalt, it's because of the taste, not some "conspiracy" (that point kinda ruins the credibility of the post)
gee, I fucking wonder (((who))) sets those "recommended levels". Holy shit some of you are easily tricked.
Actually look at what other countries are eating vs their health. look at the high dose studies. look at some actual fucking research instead of letting the FUCKING (((GOVERNMENT))) tell you what levels they want you to have.
The barely noticeable amount of iodine that is in table salt, from what I have read, evaporates over time and leaves the salt.... well, non-iodized. I also have used the supplement in my cold coffee (hides the taste). I am happy with the results. I also have hypothyroidism.
That's very neat. I didn't know that, about iodine evaporation. I mean it makes sense because it's a halogen. Apparently, if you don't keep your salt in sealed container, and you live in a high humidity area, virtually all of the iodine can be evaporated away in about one year.
I had a bad iodine deficiency in college (along with basically everything else; thanks celiac's!). It is a weird, irritating thing. I take supplements now and it's much better. Don't know if it's deliberate conspiracy, but OP's got a point about making sure you're getting enough of this in your diet.
I read this post a few months ago and legit bought Lugols solution cause fuck it why not. It worked for me. It gave me energy, focus and supressed my appetite in a reasonable manner. I quit it two weeks ago to test for placebo. Energy is down pretty noticeably. Im going back to drinking it daily indefinitely.
Had been taking iodine and selenium the past few months in tandem. Ran out of iodine. Ordered some Lugols stuff and going to the rest of the stuff to follow this anons recommended regiment and track the results. I definitely feel off since not taking Iodine regular with the selenium.
Be careful long term. Add selenium, 200 mcg. Brazil nuts work. Because you've likely been deficient your whole life, you can go hyper or potentially even start getting autoimmune type issues.
Cost? Not much. Volume administered? Three drops per 48oz water. I havent used one whole bottle yet but it looks like it will last 4 months or so. I took a break for two weeks so its not clear.
It did suggest that. I dont take them at the same time but sea salt is in my diet pretty regularily. Have I optimized this test? Not really. If I remember I will try to do it more by recomendations.
I don’t know what to believe honestly but I know people who’s entire female side of the family has had thyroid issues and cancer is in the fam and I’m pretty sure they don’t put salt on anything but who knows
Im not certain of anything either. I wasnt careful enough to do this iodine test scientifically since I started the multivitamin at the same time. But Ive taken vitamins in the past and didnt notice as much of a difference as iodine+vitamin so I think its working to a noticable degree this time. Especially after dropping it to see reverse effects, which are pretty apparent.
I tried the whole regiment for a few weeks last year and gave myself some pretty bad gastritis that I'm still dealing with today. So, use caution and YMMV.
I tried taking high doses of iodine and I felt irritation by my thyroid gland. I need more iodine now, and maybe I will put a few drops in a gallon of water.
I tried this recently using the 2% Lugol's solution, and it gave me loose bowels. It's not fun having the sharts at work, and it turns out one of the symptoms of excess iodine is diarrhea, so yeah, I don't need an iodine supplement.
No, I stopped for a week and tried again, same results. I honestly must be getting enough iodine in my diet as it is. I do use iodized salt for boiling water (pasta), and occasionally for other foods, as well as eating plenty of salted butter and cured meats (sausage, ham, keilbasa, etc).
Oo maybe. Does your stomach act up if you eat a lot of those foods? My girlfriend’s does if it’s corn and a few other things, unrelated but it’s something with some fructose allergy.
Nope, not a problem with any of it. I do avoid HFCS as much as possible, though it's never been due to digestive issues.
I don't know what it is, but I do have lethargy at times, and really hoped the iodine would help. I just don't think it's a problem in my diet. I don't crave salty snacks and eat a high-protein low-carb diet, so I rarely get hungry between meals.

Why not use Himalayan Pink Salt and supplement with iodine? get the best of both worlds. Also magnesium and vitamin D are worth looking into. Iodine is especially important prenatally, iodine increases IQ and decreases retardation when given to pregnant women. Another good iodine write-up also can be found at http://www.gwern.net/Iodine

Minerals including lead, arsenic, cadmium and other heavy metals!

A little heavy metals never hurt anyone... Better than that sodium fluoride, cancer viruses the NWO been given these citizens. We're meant to absorb heavy metals in moderation.

Yes our body can detox them in low amounts, it's good for us... keeps the detox system exercised. But you dont need over priced snake oil salt.
Neskuaxa ago
I put that salt on my hard boiled eggs earlier. It's good salt.
drj2 ago
You ever add paprika too?
Cat-hax ago
I only like sea salt because it has a different taste.
Neskuaxa ago
Never tried it. Sounds interesting though.
Norseman ago
that's the taste of the poisons.
Deflo56 ago
A couple years ago every other day I’ll eat a fresh iodine salted apple. I feel like I’m reverse aging.
Jpaul199 ago
Tastes great too. I've heard lots of people say salt on watermelon tastes good, but salt on apple is way better.
I've found I prefer salt + granny smith.
revfelix ago
A little garlic salt on some sliced cucumbers is phenomenal.
Nadeshda ago
Salt on Cantaloupe is great as well as honeydew melons but saying that I live in a hot State so salt is very good and much needed.
Slayfire122 ago
I like to practically drown my raw steak with salt before I warm up the grill. Cover in oil, smother in salt, and a bit of fresh pepper. Toss on hot grill until cooked.
Nadeshda ago
Hmmm sounds tasty!
Cat-hax ago
I have heard of this, I'm going to have to try it.
freshmeat ago
what's wrong with sea salt?
patriot_biz ago
You're retarded
Jpaul199 ago
Did you read the post? It's also the more expensive and (((popular))) option, which spells trick to me. The post is new to me, but not surprising.
Dkeere ago
Sea salt tastes better. Way fucking better. Doesn't have shit to do with the cost.
WORF_MOTORBOATS_TROI ago
Why can't they iodize sea salt?
MegaDouche ago
(((They))) just can't goy. Stop axing questions.
RumpRangerRick ago
Preach. Recently switched to sea salt, and definitely agree with your "tastes better" assessment.
Dkeere ago
I mean, if I'm just throwing salt in something I'm cooking, I'm cool with regular salt. If that salt is going to be used like seasoning though... I've got some from the north Irish sea that is just killer on some good home made bread with Irish butter.
slickleg64 ago
Sodium chloride is the same regardless if it comes from the Himalayas, Utah or North Irish sea. Yes sea salt is different than artificial table salt. But the whole "my sea salt comes from x" is just a bullshit hipster soyboy marketing ploy.
Dkeere ago
If you pull the cock out of your mouth, you'd know that sea salt is flavored by other minerals in it. Your tastes buds may not work anymore from the salty dick you've had in your mouth though, so I'd suggest at least rinsing it with something other than pabst blue ribbon. Maybe a good hipster craft brew.
freshmeat ago
i missed the part about sea salt ill read over it again
Alpha_Voat_Protecter ago
Basically, sea salt doesn't contain any iodine, which means that you lose the "benefit" of iodinized table salt.
Native ago
"Iodine" was only put in Salt to prevent caking.
Mylon ago
No, it definitely was added to prevent goiter. Diets full of processed food don't get enough iodine.
Native ago
You're right. Looked it up. There were additional additives to prevent caking
EarlPoncho ago
where can i meet a chemist
drozzxd ago
Lmao
enginedriver13 ago
UK chemist = USA pharmacist.
WhiteMakesRight ago
The UK uses "pharmacist" now too. It's mostly old timers that say "chemist".
slickleg64 ago
Kinda like how pharmacy's used to be called "drug stores" . Or is that still a thing in the US?
chrisman01 ago
They're labelled pharmacy but literally everyone I know calls them drug stores
Marsog ago
Whenever shit like this comes up I'm always tempted to try it but I feel like im going to be jewed and it will all be placebo.
weezkitty ago
Yep. It's mostly placebo/pseudo-science bullshit. It is possible to be iodine deficient, and that would have detrimental effects. But it's pretty rare. Most salt is iodized, despite what this leads you to believe. And if people buy seasalt, it's because of the taste, not some "conspiracy" (that point kinda ruins the credibility of the post)
WhiteMakesRight ago
Are you just pulling this out of your ass though, or do you actually have something to back it up?
weezkitty ago
The general US population does get enough iodine: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/thy.2010.0077
Although it is noteworthy that it has decreased 50% from the 1970s to the 1990s: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9768638
Norseman ago
gee, I fucking wonder (((who))) sets those "recommended levels". Holy shit some of you are easily tricked.
Actually look at what other countries are eating vs their health. look at the high dose studies. look at some actual fucking research instead of letting the FUCKING (((GOVERNMENT))) tell you what levels they want you to have.
Damnpasswords ago
Fda upper limit= 1,100 mcg. Average Japanese person gets 10,000mcg.
wolfsktaag ago
maybe thats why theyre so short, have small wieners, and whack off to anime girls all day
Lobotomy ago
No, that's because we Fat Man and Little Boy'd them.
weezkitty ago
And? That doesn't mean that there is a benefit of going higher.
Shishamo ago
Just get iodized salt and you won't be screwed out of anything.
PeachyKeen8989 ago
The barely noticeable amount of iodine that is in table salt, from what I have read, evaporates over time and leaves the salt.... well, non-iodized. I also have used the supplement in my cold coffee (hides the taste). I am happy with the results. I also have hypothyroidism.
fucc ago
That's very neat. I didn't know that, about iodine evaporation. I mean it makes sense because it's a halogen. Apparently, if you don't keep your salt in sealed container, and you live in a high humidity area, virtually all of the iodine can be evaporated away in about one year.

I had a bad iodine deficiency in college (along with basically everything else; thanks celiac's!). It is a weird, irritating thing. I take supplements now and it's much better. Don't know if it's deliberate conspiracy, but OP's got a point about making sure you're getting enough of this in your diet.
Syndicalism ago
I read this post a few months ago and legit bought Lugols solution cause fuck it why not. It worked for me. It gave me energy, focus and supressed my appetite in a reasonable manner. I quit it two weeks ago to test for placebo. Energy is down pretty noticeably. Im going back to drinking it daily indefinitely.
Neskuaxa ago
Had been taking iodine and selenium the past few months in tandem. Ran out of iodine. Ordered some Lugols stuff and going to the rest of the stuff to follow this anons recommended regiment and track the results. I definitely feel off since not taking Iodine regular with the selenium.
BigMatteson ago
I placed an order last night after reading this.
Atkho ago
I do morton's lite salt. It has a higher mineral to sodium ratio than regular salt.

Waiyu_Dudat ago
Be careful long term. Add selenium, 200 mcg. Brazil nuts work. Because you've likely been deficient your whole life, you can go hyper or potentially even start getting autoimmune type issues.
Syndicalism ago
Thanks, I will be aware.
zyklon_b ago
Can you tell me where you buy it?
Syndicalism ago
First bottle from Amazon. But since then I found it in a local health store, so Ill likely get it there.
zyklon_b ago
How much and how long a bottle last?
Syndicalism ago
Cost? Not much. Volume administered? Three drops per 48oz water. I havent used one whole bottle yet but it looks like it will last 4 months or so. I took a break for two weeks so its not clear.
zyklon_b ago
It would be stupid not to do it
IGiveZeroFucks ago
Read the same post and bought the same shit. Tried it for about a month and didn't notice any change.
heretolearn ago
how long did you do the seasalt detox for
Syndicalism ago
I didnt do any detox, but did supplement with a multivitamin.
heretolearn ago
oh ok. I'm gonna try it. thanks.
Fuckyounigger ago
It specifically said that you take the multivitamins with the sea salt to remove the bromine from your system did it not?
Syndicalism ago
It did suggest that. I dont take them at the same time but sea salt is in my diet pretty regularily. Have I optimized this test? Not really. If I remember I will try to do it more by recomendations.
Fuckyounigger ago
I don’t know what to believe honestly but I know people who’s entire female side of the family has had thyroid issues and cancer is in the fam and I’m pretty sure they don’t put salt on anything but who knows
Syndicalism ago
Im not certain of anything either. I wasnt careful enough to do this iodine test scientifically since I started the multivitamin at the same time. But Ive taken vitamins in the past and didnt notice as much of a difference as iodine+vitamin so I think its working to a noticable degree this time. Especially after dropping it to see reverse effects, which are pretty apparent.
RumpRangerRick ago
Read the /pol/ post, researched more online, went to amazon, bought the 5mg Lugol shit.
Because, why not ?
Looking forward to seeing what effects it has on me doing 2 drops every morning.
Waiyu_Dudat ago
That's too much. Start with 1 mg. Ease into it or you'll have issues.
RumpRangerRick ago
Ok. Will start conservative with one drop every morning then. Think my order should arrive tomorrow.
I appreciate the advice.
hang_em_high ago
How many times you take it a day and how many drops?
Very_Nice_Person ago
To take it you literally put drops of it in water and drink it? Isn't lugols solution used as medicine though?
FireSauce ago
Post said once a day, two drops in some water is good enough
Mr_Quagmire ago
I tried the whole regiment for a few weeks last year and gave myself some pretty bad gastritis that I'm still dealing with today. So, use caution and YMMV.
Whitemail ago
I tried taking high doses of iodine and I felt irritation by my thyroid gland. I need more iodine now, and maybe I will put a few drops in a gallon of water.
In_Cog_Nito ago
I tried this recently using the 2% Lugol's solution, and it gave me loose bowels. It's not fun having the sharts at work, and it turns out one of the symptoms of excess iodine is diarrhea, so yeah, I don't need an iodine supplement.
drj2 ago
Or you started at too high of a dose for your body?
In_Cog_Nito ago
I started with the lowest percentage (2%) iodine supplement, 3-5 drops once a day. Even that was too much.
drj2 ago
Oh rip. Ever figure out anything why your body can’t stand the extra iodine in your system?
In_Cog_Nito ago
No, I stopped for a week and tried again, same results. I honestly must be getting enough iodine in my diet as it is. I do use iodized salt for boiling water (pasta), and occasionally for other foods, as well as eating plenty of salted butter and cured meats (sausage, ham, keilbasa, etc).
drj2 ago
Oo maybe. Does your stomach act up if you eat a lot of those foods? My girlfriend’s does if it’s corn and a few other things, unrelated but it’s something with some fructose allergy.
In_Cog_Nito ago
Nope, not a problem with any of it. I do avoid HFCS as much as possible, though it's never been due to digestive issues.
I don't know what it is, but I do have lethargy at times, and really hoped the iodine would help. I just don't think it's a problem in my diet. I don't crave salty snacks and eat a high-protein low-carb diet, so I rarely get hungry between meals.
drj2 ago
Have you ever had your vitamin d checked?
In_Cog_Nito ago
Nope, but I do take D3 supplements fairly regularly, along with Turmeric, Calcium, Fish Oil, and Magnesium.
