That's fine. Don't take iodine.Thats false, I discussed with Jam several times and he said Ray only had an issue with iodine, not with iodide. He implied several times that Ray believes high doses of iodide are helpful/have no side effects! I did email Ray to clarify on that and he said it doesnt matter whether its iodide or iodine he still doesnt recommend supplementing it.
By all means, you can continue to supplement, experiment with iodine... I dont have an issue with that at all. Im saying it is misleading to say that its Peat approved... like there are certain scenarios Peat has approved of even iron (excessive blood loss) and PUFA (organ transplant). im sure theres some unique conditions where Peat may believe high iodine usage is worth the risks/side effects.
That's the official explanation for iodized salt, but it is similar to the explanations given for fluoridated water, vaccines, fortified vitamins in milk, fortified vitamins in breads... and many other things. so there is a trend of something starting because of a supposed health benefit and maybe there was a need/benefit at the time, but all these things have risks and of course the conspiracy theorists believe these were added intentionally to harm our health.
I havent looked into povidone, is that a special povidone iodine solution they use, or is it just povidone by itself that contains lots of iodine? I know iodine has been used as a disinfectant, but the thing is that is used topically on wounds, not orally, moreover it is just a one time thing. a one time instance likely wont have significant effects. When I took 3-4mg, once a week, after the first week I was at the same weight... after the second week it was a few pounds heavier, then the third/fourth/5th and 6th weeks there was significant gain in weight (all fat/water gain), and a lot of hair thinning on the scalp, and even testicle shrinkage and some nipple tenderness. end result was 21 pounds heavier in just 6 weeks! Ive looked on youtube and theres many people with similar experiences. important to note, as Ray has said, people selling iodine supplements have an incentive to market and exaggerate/lie about their claims... on the other hand common folk have nothing to gain from being against supplementing one specific nutrient in high doses
for surgeries it obviously outweighs the risks of thyroid damage. its also just a one time incident, not a repeated oral intake. moreover keep in mind mainstream medicine/fda has upper limit of iodine set to 1000mcg as the daily safe upper limit so they consider that to be the maximum amount you can take daily and not overdose. I cant say really how much iodine would be absorbed in the body, especially by the thyroid, from the surgeries which involve topical application of iodine
