Re: Would I need an iodine supplement? - special circumstances

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I'm sure Bee will answer your question about the iodine, but I wanted to mention

that you shouldn't be eating the meat from the coconut. It's too high in carbs

for us candida sufferers. The only thing we can have from coconut is the oil.

All the best,

eat pork, avocado, nuts (but I do eat lots of coconut), tomatoes, and I only

occasionally drink the " electrolyte drink " (it is very difficult and

time-consuming to hand squeeze fresh lemons daily).

+++Hi . Like wrote, please do not have any coconut except for

unrefined coconut oil.

supplementation, as I can't imagine in what foods I'd be getting enough iodine.

I eat a lot of raw cabbage, spinach, and turnip, which can block uptake of

iodine in the thyroid apparently (Rx for Nutrit. Healing, Murray, 2006, p 34).

Or, would it help just use the concentrace trace mineral drops I have?

+++Congratulations on being pregnant!

+++There's iodine in ocean sea salt, butter, eggs, meats (particularly fish and

other seafoods), fish oils, green leafy vegetables, etc., so you won't need any

other iodine. Iodine is only required in " trace amounts " by your body, and too

much will cause thyroid problems too.

+++It is better to cook cabbage, spinach, turnip, and all vegetables for that

matter, since cooking ensures you get more nutrients from them, and " supposedly "

cooking lowers the amount of goitergens too - see this article:

+++However, I don't believe in isolating substances in foods and claiming they

cause problems, since Mother Nature doesn't get it wrong, and eating whole foods

does not cause health problems. Our bodies are designed to consume natural

foods in order to be healthy.

All the best, Bee

Thanks for the feedback, ladies! The only part of the coconut I eat is the oil.
