Ginger is familiar with the information in Dr. Sircus’ summary about why we need Iodine and the dosages. From his post: “Iodine is necessary for the proper function of many of the body’s tissues including the breasts, pancreas, brain, stomach, adrenal glands, skin, salivary glands, and cerebral spinal fluid. Iodine deficiency can lead to a dysfunction of these tissues and cause symptoms such as dry mouth, dry skin, reduced alertness, brain fog, fibromyalgia, fibrocystic breasts, and many others. Some studies have shown that iodine deficiency leads to a higher risk of developing various cancers, especially of the breast, prostate, and ovaries. Do not wait for any of these symptoms to arrive, everyone today will benefit from higher iodine intake.”

Note from Caryn: I once took an iodine supplement. The result for me was a finger blown up by edema. It went away without an issue, but I learned that at least at that time either the dosage or the topic was not right for me.
