Let us not forget the importance of a whole and vibrant immune system, which runs on having ample vitamin D in the bloodstream! Over 50 ng’s

Not the one made in a lab that is chemically identical to rat poison though, the real one , from the sun.

Love the details on high fat and nitrates having the potential of reducing the effectiveness of the iodine in our system. MANY people are eating a high fat keto diet that includes bacon. It's helpful for them to know that they need to significantly increase their iodine intake!

Any idea how many drops of 2% Lugol's meets the Japanese level discussed for health and breast cancer prevention? I know there's also 5% Lugol's but I have a bottle of the 2%, it's easier for me to consume. Thank you for this - informative! Would just like some parameters of using Lugol's effectively. I am hypothyroid, but hopeful that iodine intake will improve that condition.

Rule of Thumb: 10 drops of 2% Lugol's is 25 mgs

I recommend reading Brownstein on iodine.

Great & helpful read. Thank you. I loved the feeding fish to Iceland cows -> low breast cancer->modernized-> less fish to cows & caught up to ISA breast cancer rates. Yikes! I’m sending my daughter some seaweed now!!😇❤️🙏
