Iodine has alarger size than bromine or chlorine but it does not change the argument that 1 may displce the other. I no longer use Lugol, which has both iodine and iodide, because iodine is a strong oxidant and it goes against the idea that we must avoid oxidative stress. It certainly will wipe out part of your anti-oxidant intake. Potassium iodide (130mg tablet) can be crushed and diluted in lactose or any sugar to allow for taking easily 4-6mg of iodide /day if one follows Brownstein's theory -- or less. RDA is only 15mcg I think or is it 50? I Don't know if he would agree; I tried to e-mail him but he does not reply. I hope this helps some With lugol (6mg/d iodine total) I had elevated 3-nitro tyrosine liked to peroxynitrites reflecting oxidative milieu! NOT good according to Dr Pall (NO-ONOO Hypothesis)

Hi, Green tea was supposed to heal the gut lining so I was trying to use it for that and it has no sugar. I knew it may have Fluorine. I use reverse osmosis water. I drink Oblong tea at the Chinese restaurant...it seemed to help my body...but they use tap water with Cl/F. I take iodide/iodine sometimes to put the F out of me. My thyroid stopped 26 years ago. Taking Iodine/iodide gives a little energy. My hair test says I am very low in Iodine. Thanks for your ideas. Happiness.....

Hi, Cancer/diabetes/mental illness/depression can all be due to Celiac. Blood tests and biospies may not work to diagnose it and doctors may not be trained in it. The whole family tree and future kids maybe Celiac. Best wishes.

Hi, Cruciferous family...cook to stop it from blocking the thyroid hormone or ferment them. Not eating gluten/dairy/soy/sugar may help and taking vitamins/good oils may help. Gluten may cause low thyroid. Tests may not work to diagnose it. I also can't have coconut oil, olive oil, tumeric, flax and more that others may do. A food diary may help you figure out what helps/hurts you. See my profile. Best wishes.
