2 nutrients you are missing, Iodine and Magnesium

They should be... if you remember that there is enough calcium in one egg to build the skeleton of one chick (tiny, it is true, but still) - but how do you know?

I do know you can overdo it if you eat seaweed daily. There is an optimal amount but if you overdo it you will have to much iodine in your diet. This is what I read.

Thank you! Carrot juice is very good for you.

There is a natural source, and that's unrefined seasalt.

While table salt (which is refined seasalt) is almost pure NaCl, seasalt has all the minerals and trace minerals necessary to life (according to George Ohsawa, the founder of macrobiotics, it has the same, or close to the same composition as human blood). Table salt is a chemical while seasalt is a natural product.

I never use table salt, only unrefined sea salt whenever I can. It has plenty of iodium, there is no need to take extra iodized sea salt. This, together with seafood or seaweed in your diet will ensure you won't lack any iodine.

The same goes for rock salt (the kind mined in salt mines which is basically the same as sea salt as it results from ancient deposits from seas).

Seawater has plenty minerals and trace minerals. It even has gold.... your body needs those trace minerals.

And C probably the most overconsumed vitamin in yhe world.

Kratom...

Is this a mistake? Magnesium burns extremely well.

"Magnesium is used in the production of alloys, fertiliser, refractories (for steel production) and flame retardants and for water purification."

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!! Spine and hip!

Interesting question!

Magnesium dihydroxide, Mg(OH)2 is the fire retardant form I found from a quick search.
Not sure I follow why they like it for that purpose, but since it has already oxidized, it is not a combustible material.

Elemental sodium for example, is also wildly combustable, but NaCl can be used to put out fires as the sodium is already oxidized.

Sea salt does not contain significant iodine from a nutrient standpoint. (Unless it has been artificially iodized of course).

They don't put nearly enough iodine in iodized salt to begin with. And with doctors preaching to cut salt from the diet, they are also cutting your last miniscule source of iodine in your diet!

We used to get a little bit of iodine in bread, as it was used as a "dough conditioner", but this practice has been eliminated and now they use Bromine to condition bread dough, which acts as an iodine uptake impediment.

Then you have people that think they are getting significant amounts of iodine from sea salt. Not even close. I think seawater is 0.05 ppm iodine (that's 50 parts per Billion). Iodine gets concentrated in seafood, but seawater and seasalt have very very little iodine.

I’m going to use up some of my supplements and not replace. The liver has to process them, and it could be too much. I bought selenium Friday. I took that for a while a few years ago but couldn’t tell if it made any difference.

Op, if you can’t see you have vitamin A toxicity. You might try Taurine. It is actually is an ingredient in pet food which prevents cancer.

Started taking Iodine today. Let's see what it does.

Bump.

I just read that Iodine applied topically often eliminates skin tags and warts.


First time I heard that one. It was one of those docs on Youtube.

Any results from the iodine? I'm thinking about ordering some today.

I saw this thread get bumped and just wanted to say that my wife and I started using iodine after reading this and it has made a significant difference.

It's helping so much with brain fog and energy. Occasionally I'll get to the afternoon and wonder why I feel so mentally fatigued that day only to realize I forgot to take it. Once I do, I'm back on.

I've struggled with mental clarity for years now and it put me in a bad spot. This has seriously been a game changer and I've never said that about any single vitamin/mineral/supplement before.

Thank you OP for posting and for everyone taking the time to comment their experience and advice.

Btw I use 2 drops of Dr. Lugol's in water in the morning. Not sure if there's too much difference in various brands/forms, but it works for me and seems to be a good value.

That's great to hear!

Our bodies are great machines, but they cannot fabricate their own iodine.

Thanks for posting.

The reasoning sounds good, but then anything that has already been oxidized (or burned) could be used to put out fires. Why use magnesium? It's a costly material. In truth, NaCl can easily be found in huge amounts.

Taurine is an amino acide which for some reason they also put in some energy drinks.

Here is another interesting thread:

VITAMINS AND MINERALS LIKE IODINE, MAGNESIUM, NIACIN, SELENIUM, VITAMIN C & D TO CURE ANYTHING! IMPORTANT!

Thread: VITAMINS AND MINERALS LIKE IODINE, MAGNESIUM, NIACIN, SELENIUM, VITAMIN C & D TO CURE ANYTHING! IMPORTANT!

Wow, the thread sliding goes strong.

Yes, the thread is about Iodine and Magnesium.

Other stuff should be removed from the thread.

Not sure if moderators actually bother with stuff like that or not.

I bought magnesium drops today. Trace minerals brand; container says mega mag.

Bumped.

just got my L-Threonate

OP...thanks for a great and timely thread.

I have had leg pain, intermittent, for the last six months. I was told it was from advancing age, circulation, chiro said it was caffeine, chinese herbalist gave me some stuff to make tea...but basically nothing helped...except being irritable cut off from coffee.

I read your thread and picked up a few different types of Mg. I also mixed up a liter of water with 7 grams of borax..upped my D3, added Selenium (one poster on your thread recommended) tumeric (anti inflammatory) and after three days...leg pain is 95% better.

It is hard to describe the pleasure of walking around without pain in the legs, and being able to sleep at night.

In retrospect, I see now that the Mg deficiency was causing the issues.

Lesson learned.

Thanks OP!!

Thanks for reporting your results and so very glad it helped you.
