Look it up. Iodine is an essential nutrient that our thyroid uses to regulate a whole host of things in the body. Eliminating it opens us up to a whole host of illnesses. There was a huge campaign in the 90s to get people to understand the value of iodine and it was put in all our salt so that people wouldn't have to think about taking it and would just get it whenever we salted our food. Iodine is so powerful it can cure people from radiation poisoning. It's anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial. It's like salting your food with chlorine dioxide or any of the other tons of antiseptic medicines they're trying to keep us from ingesting so they can sell us expensive drug treatments.
I was just at Costco and not a single kind of salt they have there says it's iodized. I thought maybe it was just the sea salt but I checked that huge bag of table salt they have and it doesn't say it's iodized either. I have that in my emergency storage and now I'm starting to think it's practically worthless. Sure, salt is good for you, but there's no question that iodized salt is WAY better for you.
Ditch your fucking sea salt. It says right on the label it doesn't contain iodide/iodine, "an essential nutrient." Get yourself regular old iodized table salt and thank me.
You can try this one: https://www.iodinesource.com/Products.php. I have been using "detoxified iodine" for years, generally two drops a day. You sometimes have to search for it by that name, as other places have it in and out of stock. I have not bought from this site before, and the last one I bought it from doesn't have it in stock right now. It has proven by blood tests to raise my iodine to good levels. I ran out once and decided to just get potassium iodide drops from the local health food store. My blood iodine levels promptly plummeted. Never tried lugol's but I swear by the detoxified iodine. And then, I'm safe to go with the non-iodized Himalayan pink salt, which I adore. :)
Thank you!
