My research about my grandmothers’ chronic fatigue syndrome has led me to today’s widespread iodine deficiency. It is a problem today because soils are depleted, the US RDA for iodine is gastly incorrect. We live far away from the sea. Salt iodizing is too little to be of use.
I ordered an iodine patch test on her wrist and the iodine patch disappeared within 24 hours. A sure sign of iodine deficiency. Tonight I ordered the painting of her feet bottoms, her wrists and her neck with iodine tincture.
Tomorrow I will be buying lugol’s iodine from the aquarium supplies store. From this, I will be ordering iodine supplementation in her water. Initially 2 drops per 8oz glass of water 3 times per day as instructed in the Earth Clinic website.
I will also be ordering the eating and purchasing of fresh sea weeds for my grandmother every single day until her iodine deficiency is met. Same for me and my children too.
Cross your fingers, I hope this gives my grandmother the energy boost she needs and kills a whole lot of parasites and bacteria in her blood.
This is the usual sea weed available in our wet markets. This is the type with the big pulps, the second type of sea weed has small pulps. The Filipino-tagalog name for sea weed is “lato”.
