Iodine Anyone? page 388

[Paleobird]

Thanks for the Seasnax tip, PaleoBird. I've recently gotten hooked on the Trader Joe's seaweed snacks but I didn't feel totally good about it because I believe they use an offensive oil for roasting. I will be ordering some of these!

They are so tasty. I got them from an online site called Netrition.com which also carries Sea Tangle brand kelp noodles. Three ingredients, kelp, water, and salt. I made some for dinner tonight. (pics on my journal momentarily)

Netrition.com also carries a lot of great coconut products and all at better prices than the local health food store. (No, I don't work for them.)

Love the sound of Seasnax and Sea Tangle kelp noodles. Do you happen to know if they ship to the UK? I'd far prefer to eat sea veg than to take iodine sups...

Check in Asda if you've got one nearby. My local one's just (as in this week) started doing loads of sushi stuff, including seaweed.

I'm sure I can find one - Brighton, for a start!

I suggest you take your complaints to Dr. Brownstein.

You need to re-read message #7


So, as you can see, your advice and my advice are identical - SEE YOUR DOCTOR.
The same disclaimer is found in Iodine References & in the Iodine 101 post.

So, bottom line, you got nothing to offer in the way of a documented protocol, right?
All you have is never ending COMPLAINING
.

Complaining? I came in here showing interest and asking some valid questions about the safety of some of these 'protocols'. Actively discouraging and dismissing these type of questions is irresponsible but making stuff up like 'excess iodine just gets flushed out' is just blatantly dishonest.

This is an iodine thread where we can talk about the benefits, dangers, pro's and cons of iodine in a non bias manner. You're acting like you own the damn thread by bullying people and calling them trolls, insisting they have to recommend a 'documented protocol' to post about iodine here.

Don't you have anything positive to contribute to this thread?

"Iodine, an essential element for thyroid function, is necessary for normal growth, development, and
functioning of the brain and body. Iodine-deficiency disorder (IDD) is a well documented global health
problem, affecting more than a billion people worldwide. Consequences of IDD include goiter,
cretinism, intellectual impairment, brain damage, mental retardation, stillbirth, spontaneous abortions,
miscarriages, congenital deformities, and increased perinatal mortality. Progress toward eliminating
IDDs has been substantial; an estimated 70% of the world’s edible salt currently is iodized. Most
excess iodine is excreted, and most people can tolerate fairly large amounts without experiencing
problems."

It took Google only 1 second to find this doc, and you could have done it yourself, but instead you COMPLAIN. There are also thousands more documents in the list on the subject of "excess iodine is excreted."

Also, when you complain about the Dr. Brownstein Protocol, you should have another protocol to suggest. Anyone can complain about anything, but what is your Better Idea?

I thought I read here that seaweed also contained bromine, which would cancel out the iodine. Is this true?

It's true that seaweed contains bromine, & usually more bromine than iodine according to Saenko. Iodine in Seaweed -- Research

I don't know what effect it has on iodine absorption. It is another question for anyone who uses Japanese dietary intake as an example though.

When I was severely deficient in iodine ( skin patch test disappeared in only 3 minutes) I ordered 2 large boxes of seaweed snacks from Amazon.Com. When they arrived, I could not stop eating them & I ate 6 packages one right after the other ! My body was just craving the seaweed snacks.
