Would I need an iodine supplement? - special circumstances

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

I follow your program and have been for a year and a half, except that I don't

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).

I am very newly pregnant and suspect that I might need some kind of additional

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?

You're quite amazing, Bee!
