I am seeing a functional medicine doctor near me. She cautions me to be very careful about taking Iodoral iodine or I will get my thyroid out of whack. I suspected I was low on iodine after reading Dr Brownstein's book. A year ago I used the urine collection test from Hakala Lab's recommended by Brownstein. It showed that I excreted 30 mg of the 50 mg Iodine. So I ordered Iodoral 12.5 mg. I am following Amy Myer's Solution diet to address leaky gut and elevated autoimmune markets. No gluten. No dairy. No eggs. No butter. No sugar. No beans, legumes, or nuts. No GMO. Organic meat and certain vegetables. Good fats like olive oil and coconut oil. It sounds like my diet is going to result in acidic urine and thus I still need the iodine. I have just ordered another Hakala Lab test to recheck the iodine. I subscribed to your substack to learn more. I subscribe to Mercola and others to learn as much as I can about staying well and out of the broken healthcare system. Thank you

My Japanese grandpa eats a half sheet of nori with his bacon and eggs every morning (rice optional). I have started doing this at my home since he told me about it, and it turns out, my kids love it, too! It’s always interesting to learn more about how and why the traditions work.
