hi dr.Hardy, I would like to have your opinion on this
I have struggled (successfully) all my life to keep my weight under control. When I was little my mother supplemented me with floride, and I have been swimming for years 2-3 hours a day in highly chlorinated water, being an agonistic swimmer. I've been vegan for almost 10 years now.
I have cold hands and feet, little energy, slightly depressive inclinations and continuous cravings, symptoms that have considerably increased after my pregnancy 2 years ago. I don't have puffy lips and eyes though. I never tried to measure my fever in the morning but I have the impression that I am bordering towards hypothyroidism. There is a lot of talking on iodine on another forum of CZ and I am considering the possibility that iodine deficiency is the culprit of my unbalancement.
What would you suggest?
thank you

There's a very simple test for iodine deficiency. Get some at the drugstore, paint the bottom of your feet with it. Watch the stain, if it goes away quickly, it's because you're defienct; your body will absorb it completely if badly deficient.- Re: iodine deficient, maybe? sofia

This is a reply to # 837,529We're each individuals and as an individual, your iodine level is constatnly changing. If you paint your feet tonight, let us know how much of the stain is there tomorrow...

This is a reply to # 837,465It sounds to me like you may benefit from iodine, but get from whole food source like Irish moss or kelp

This is a reply to # 838,006Dried sea veggies ... Sophia, it's FOOD ... how much of good food do you want?
If you like sea weed ... EAT IT!!!!
If you like smoothies, get a sea veggie superfood/wholefood suppliment and mix it in fruit or veggie juices.
Take it as a suppliment. How much? I bought kelp tablets (rare that you'll find a tablet in THIS woman's kitchen). I started out taking 1 tablet 3 times a day. Next bottle, I'll take 4 tablets a day and keep going up with each new bottle. I'll know if I ever eat too many!!!!!- Re: how much of it? (n/m) sofia

The Bio Cleanse
Complete detox kit for removing toxins, heavy metals, parasites and mucoid plaque.
if it comes to dulse, arami, nori, even kelp when still whole and cooked in the soups and grains I am with you, it is never enough. But I see you're having tablets of kelp, well the 2 tbsp a day of kelp suggested in other forums would make countless of caps, yet I tell you that eaten directly by the spoon it is the most disgusting thing ever. That's why I ask how much, it makes a world of difference if it is of kelp we are talking.
(anyway, I probably will do like you and go with tabs, as by the spoon I just find excuses not to take it...better a little bit than nothing at all! I just wish it could be taken in homeopathic dosages! wouldn't it be cool?)
