Re: ... Iodine / brain development

[Guest guest]

I also read something about testing yourself by buying iodine at a drug store, applying it to the skin, and if it disappears quickly it means you're low in iodine. Does anyone know if or how this works?

Sorry for the late reply but it doesn't look like anyone responded to your post. Our naturopath and accupuncturist both recommended the Iodine patch test. Some sites say you wait over night for results, others say wait 24 hours (both of our docs said 24hrs).

You might also want to google studies done by Dr. Brownstein, http://www.drbrownstein.com/default.asp He's found connections between iodine and ADHD.

Good luck,

Just curious, How many check odine levels...?I just read; Iodine is necessary for directbrain development. Lack of sufficient iodine is a leading cause of mentalretardation and low IQ levels, lessening

mental abilities in life. It can havea devastating impact on health.Kelp is the richest source of iodine.

I give it as a liquid supplement (www.kornax.com) in our water, and not

with every drink

I read about iodine, and we just swithed our salt to an unrefined sea salt that still has all the trace minerals left in it. That way he can got some in his diet without any major changes.
