5 Signs and Symptoms of Iodine Deficiency

Iodine is an essential mineral that the body needs.

Your thyroid gland uses it to make thyroid hormones, which help control growth, repair damaged cells and support a healthy metabolism.

Unfortunately, up to a third of people worldwide are at risk of an iodine deficiency.

In this video we're looking at 5 signs and symptoms to look out for.

Lugols. 1 drop a day will significantly help. This country has taken iodine out of everything including salt. And food. But yet has added fluoride, chlorides and bromides to everything. Which in turn has made this country sick.

Some time ago, I read something about there being a big connection between iodine and intellectual ability, though I don't recall any details.😕

I was looking for the functions, deficiencies and food to do my homework

I did blood tests, echo of my complete throat bc I started to have swelling under my chin plus larger thyroid.
They told me it's because of ageing, but it's not fat. I feel it's something else but I have no options left to check. I will try iodine.
I don't have any hair loss etc just very tired and unhappy because the swelling is annoying and also estetically depressing.

Iodised table salt is not the best choice for iodine. Kelp and shell fish may be better alternatives. Find a local naturopath or search the library or net.

With the fact that Iodine can be used topically for breast issues, removing moles, and a few other things - as well as the fact that you can ingest it... I am wondering if I can possibly use it either on the back of my ear or possibly in my ear. I experienced a full complete loss of hearing in one ear as a child after having an MMR "sharpie" given "on schedule" at one of my wellness visits before attending school. I could hear perfectly out of both ears before that happened so I know what it felt like and I would sure give the world to have that hearing back. (I sing in an audition ensemble at college and I also play classical piano)... Anyone know if I could use it to possibly help regain my hearing in that ear?

Wow! I can't believe you call yourself a nutrition authority and recommend people to add more iodine salt (table salt) to their diet in order to overcome their iodine deficiency 😱 could you come up with a shittier advice? First of all, nobody should ever consume this toxin called table salt, which is highly processed and full of toxic additives like anti caking agents. People instead should use sea salt or rock salt. Secondly, deficiency in iodine or any other trace minerals for that matter can never be overcome by food alone. One must supplement with the elemental trace minerals they are deficient in for a while (minimum of 3 months as a rule of thumb). Thirdly, for those deficient in iodine I'd highly recommend they supplement with Lugol's iodine, and certainly not table salt.

Problem is….there’s about 20 other illnesses that give you the same symptoms

[Dr.Jas-AyurvedaExpert-semi]

Moringa is naturally rich iodine and can be taken as a supplement. Also you can consume herbal medicines like plane ayurveda’s shtholyantak churna and gotu kola capsules.

And feeling really really cold after eating??

Seaweed and kelp for Iodine. NOT salt!

[justsayin]

This guy is clueless when it comes to iodine, if he thinks salt is the answer for iodine defeciency.

14 Blessed are those who [g]do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 [h]But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
