@chosroes said in Iodine - too much!:

Did the naturopath in the OP video provide sources for the low iodine study, anywhere? Couldn't see anything on his website.

I won't watch a video that says iodine above RDA is dangerous . Try to countre-act the mainstream "idea". See the link beneath.

The Need for Iodine Supplementation - by Wojciech Rychlik, Ph.D.

That’s just nuts isn’t it?
Thanks for sharing, I’ll stick with liver and shell fish.

@Insr Yeah I could be wrong. I don't disagree with the overall ideas presented, just wish he was a little more straightforward with the info. Seems like he hides the "how" in his memberships.

Thank you Texugo and @LucH for your replies, I appreciate any help. I certainly don't like having a food intolerance I have to watch out for, it would be much more convenient if I didn't have to worry about iodine!

@TexugoDoMel Because it's well water, my bathing water is also free of flouride and chlorine.

I asked you in the other iodine thread for more info about the antioxidant idea.

Thanks!

@EustaceBagge totally. I agree completely.

endometriosis and PCOS and very common now

borderline personality disorders and similar pathological behaviors also seem to be becoming more common in women

I’ve been reading that it’s important for the thyroid and how people with too low ferritin don’t respond well to thyroid treatments.

@insufferable
people will not accept anything in a book either. You cannot convince someone of something they have convinced themselves to believe.
I know because I was one of the worst of them.

@TexugoDoMel Great response, thank you!

Atrazine is definitely a major endocrine disruptor.

@insufferable

Do you think that humans and animals are equal?

@insufferable so get outside and move around?

@insufferable said in Defanging your computer:

So for twitter and youtube, I installed extensions to remove all the distracting stuff and make these sites intentional, so you have to type in what you want to see, before you see anything. Youtube and twitter both just display basically a blank screen on the homepage now.

The extensions I installed (on firefox) are "Unhook" for youtube and "Control Panel for Twitter." I also have "BlockTube" installed but I forget if it's doing anything right now or not (I tried it before I found Unhook) And of course I have AdBlock Plus running too.

Control Panel for Twitter stopped working. I use https://xcancel.com/ now, which is even better since you don't have to login to twitter.

@Gaston

it won't work topically??

For the 2021-2023 NHANES data, in order to remove TRT users, I screened out those with testosterone over 600 who also had LH below reference range. Apparently TRT lowers LH and FSH to near zero. I also removed some data that was probably in error.

So average testosterone in 2021-2023 was 451 ng/dl - no major difference from 2015-2016's average of 459 ng/dl.
