You know I had no freaking clue that my salt didn’t have it in it. I scrapped it and got some new salt.

I didn't either until Pfar. It's crazy how some of the most important things are the least talked about.

The crazy thing is we know iodine comes from the sea, and everything else, seaweed, ocean fish, shellfish, have lots of iodine, *but not sea salt* 🤪

And the gpiter era was before we found out iodine has many functions beyond just thyroxine...

It is crazy. I wonder... Daniel had an IV contrast CT scan. I've been reading about IV dye contrast. It's iodine but bound to itself multiple iodines and other things which can make it nephrotoxic and stay in the body for years. I have a theory about autoimmune diseases involving things like this - I digress. My point is, I wonder if salt and iodine are bound in a way that may make cause it to lose It's benefit. I cannot use table salt since my major EBV attack when I almost lost my liver. I have to have sea or Celtic salt otherwise I swell up and have worse vein issues. I need to do more research on this.

There are many benefits to using minimally processed salts like himalayan, celtic , Redmonds Real salt. They have anywhere from 50 - 70 trace minerals that the body also needs to function properly. You can always take iodine supplements. Bleached white table salt has nothing extra besides the added small dose of iodine and many brands of processed salt don't even have the iodine added.

I also recommend reading Dr David Brownstein's book Salt Your Way to Health. He addresses iodine deficiency and has very interesting recommendations on optimal dosages. We need much more iodine!

I agree! I use Celtic salt. It has iodine but not enough.

I just eat Celtic salt and take Lugol's Iodine. Problem solved.
