I came across this very same 4chan post not long after it was written and just had it in the back of my mind. A while later, I had to pad an order to get free shipping and threw in a bottle of the cheapest iodine they had.
I had no idea what it was supposed to do. My short attention span and limited retention left only the message, "We're deficient in iodine because it used to be in Morton's iodized salt when no one knew what it meant and no one uses Morton's any more."
So I expected nothing and began to titrate with 1 drop a day. I never noticed any other effect, but after a week I began to sleep like a baby again. The stuff is powerful, and I'm only up to 5 drops of it in some water before bed. I've experimented backing off to 4 drops and I can easily tell the difference. Falling asleep is never a problem, nor is light, noise, etc.
As stated, I use the cheap stuff, about $7 for a 2oz bottle of "potassium iodine & iodide". That bottle lasts for longer than I can possibly remember when I bought it. Maybe there are better ones, but the cheapest stuff does the trick for me.
Holy shit. POSSIBLY IMPORTANT READ FOR FOLKS: This same thing happened to me. Long story short - saw similar post, was very interested for whatever reason and kept it buried in my mind. A year or two later, meet my current gf. She ditched the pill a year or two prior to us meeting and hadn’t had regular periods since. At that point in our relationship she HADNT HAD A PERIOD IN 7 MONTHS. I remembered the effects iodine supposedly had on the thyroid and therefore, hormones. She was seeing a gyno who was a little concerned (less than I thought they both should be but what do I know..) and wanted to try inducing a period with heavy meds. We very much want to have babies some day and I raised concerns to the gf of what these meds are exactly and what they do to her body. So I say let’s try this iodine stuff (Lugols solution, 4 drops to start in a small cup of water/day) before just to see. Also started eating a little raw beef liver. I am not bullshitting, within a week, maybe days (can’t remember exactly) she has a period… AND HAS BEEN REGULAR EVER SINCE while taking. If we forget (we’re not perfect) and she’s late, we get it back in our routine and boom- period. Actually insane. She told her gyno and gets the typical “oh good we’ll if you think it’s helping then go ahead” but my mind was blown and confirmed all of my doubts in the medical industry. Anyways for anyone who’s girl has any potential HYPOthyroidism symptoms including menstrual related, I hope this might help.
Great comment and great news!
I sometimes feel like we've been completely deceived and lost track of what normal health is for the human body. Like if you brought someone from a few generations ago back from the past with a time machine and showed them all the health problems we think are just "par for the course", they would think they'd actually been taken to Hell.
When I was a child no one had ever heard of anyone having any sort of problem making as many babies as they wanted (and then maybe one surprise after that). Fertility trouble was absolutely not a "thing".
So best of luck making some babies! We need all the people we can get to help get us out of this mess!
Thank you! My thoughts exactly, I want good people to make as many good people as possible. Maybe an over simplification but you get the point! Just hope we’re fortunate enough to do so and like you said, crazy how that’s even common concern yet people aren’t asking why…
Update because I’ve been thinking a lot about this and attributing it majorly to our success! Baby on the way and doing great. Thanks again for the well wishes. We’ve been promoting this simple regimen to all friends/family we know who are having any trace of difficulties in getting pregnant. What a turnaround it provided for her. Very fortunate to have stumbled upon a fricken 4chan screenshot that in all likelihood changed our lives forever
Thanks for the update and the fantastic news. I'm very glad to hear that it worked out for you and that you're keeping the knowledge flowing forward. Make America Healthy Again seems to be the catchphrase of the season!
All blessings to your family and forthcoming addition. I've really only recently come to the understanding of what a wonder a child really is: hope for the future and unlimited possibility. Seems like as a society we should be more aware of that, right?
I feel certain your child will grow up in a better world than we live in now, as long as we keep working at it. Stay strong and take care!
Sometimes feel? That's exactly what is happening.
Meanwhile... I've always used iodized salt and still do, no goiters or other issues.
I also don't drink fluoride.
Lugol's is what everyone recommends but i've never tried it. despite the anti-onion /pol/ meme, i like getting my iodine that way. that and seaweed. but with seaweed there's, uhh, shall we say 'laxative' effects.
The thing is, even though Lugol's is twice the price of the cheap stuff, that means (drum roll)... an extra $7 a couple of times a year. A bottle lasts a helluva long time.
As rough as Bidenomics is on all of us, I feel everyone should splurge on any kind of iodine they feel they want... lol
Theres quite a bit of iodine in green vegetables. Specifically spinach and other greens.
