Awesome!
And to think Dr Mercola interviewed Dr Brownstein last year and still doesn't get it.
Was there any rebuttal by Dr Mercola?
Also, I don't understand where Mercola says:
"In fact, I don't generally advise taking iodine supplements like Lugol's or Ioderol, because your thyroid only transports iodine in its ionized form (i.e. iodide). Your thyroid reduces iodide (I-) into iodine (I2) for use in formation of thyroglobulin. Your body doesn't utilize iodine directly. It has to split the I2 into two I- ions, which is an oxidative reaction that causes oxidative stress"

If the thyroid is not functioning correctly, how can convert iodide to iodine and I thought the rest of the body used iodine directly?
Thanks,
Paraboy
