I read Dr Brownstein's book. I put my 97 year old mother on 12.5 mg of Lugol's Iodine a day. Her energy levels and cognitive abilities improved dramatically. I take 25 mg of Lugol's daily. My energy increased and brain fog disappeared. Iodine is essential to human health.

I started taking Iodine 2 months ago. Game changer for me. I have a desire to get out of bed in the morning. I sleep better. My cognitive ability has increased. My depression is decreasing. My chin is up and I am looking people in the eye instead of avoiding eye contact. Depression is a depressed system like inbalanced metabolic system. Its not about negative thoughts. I did have negative thoughts but now I have forward thinking. Iodine is what did it, not mental manipulation of my thoughts.

Iodine and salt pork were both used to heal deep cuts or punctures. As a kid we ate dandelion greens and spinach with butter and vinegar. We had beef and dairy cows so my mother made our butter. She used black strap molasses to cook with, especially baked beans which we ate weekly. We picked wild hazel nuts and walnuts to eat as treats. Lots of fresh fruit and raisins were go to snacks. Berries that we all picked together as a family. Wild strawberries are very tiny. It takes a long time to fill a huge bowl. Clean beef, pork and dairy from the animals we raised ourselves. Dad used to say “don’t name them because they will be on the table “. Now most of the food consumed has been stripped of valuable nutrients and vitamins. The garbage kids eat at school is a crime against humanity.

I don’t have a thyroid and have hasimoto , very autoimmune, was told over and over again “ don’t take Iodine”. I started taking it 6 months ago and many things have changed for me. Energy, memory and recall has increased and weight loss, yes I have been on carnivore as well but didn’t feel good for 4 months until I started iodine.

It is criminal that cities fluoridate the water supply. Dumbing down and making your own citizens sick is a crime against humanity.

My daughter has suffered for practically her whole life. I almost lost her last January. Just getting worse as she got older. Couple months ago I read a comment about mental health and iodine on a video about salt. I told my daughter to try. She is doing sooooo well it is AMAZING. I started taking it myself.

I stepped on a sharp rock when I was running around barefoot as a kid. My mom put iodine on it. Healed VERY quickly.
