Video : Whole Body Iodine Sufficiency – Dr Jorge D. Flechas, MD –

A thought provoking somewhat controversial talk by another brave specialist in iodine. I guess it was to a general audience to get across the generality that iodine insufficiency and deficiency are growing problems with significant downstream heath implications,  but with that in mind, another fascinating insight into the importance of iodine, and the levels of insufficiency and deficiency that abound.

Like Vitamin D, deficiency iodine intake and utilisation issues are global due to, falling levels in food, falling intakes, increased intake of factors that block uptake, thyroid function, or wider related function, compounded by deficiencies and imbalances in the modern diet and other factors such as uptake and function blockers from the environment and food chain.  I have a thread here at HER2Support.org that explores some of the above:

Large iodine doses should only be taken under medical supervision.
