Thanks to environmental pollutants Iodine deficiency has become a worldwide epidemic. Everybody knows pollutants cause cancer. What they don't know is that these pollutants cause a deficiency that can make us sick, fat and stupid. Iodized salt--supposedly a solution to iodine deficiency-- is actually a nutritional scam which provides a false sense of security. The Iodine Crisis explains how we became so deficient, then shows the time-tested solution to reversing many conditions. Lynne Farrow reveals how she and thousands of other patient-activists changed their lives by researching and using iodine. Frequently Asked Questions cover everything you need to know about iodine. The proof of iodine's benefit is demonstrated by the dramatic case studies shared in this book.

Life changing

I think your this book just saved my life! For sure my quality of life! 4 years ago I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and since then I have never felt like myself no matter what I tried and I have tried everything! I was on 25 mg of iodine for the last 2 years which is high by conventional standards so it never occurred to me to raise it, but after I heard Lynne on a podcast where the host said that he was on 50 mg of iodine it occurred to me that I could try to raise mine just to see if it would help. I got this book and read it just to reassure myself. I immediately started taking 50mg. Expecting side effects I couldn’t believe it when instead I felt like someone had turned the lights back on! For 4 years I have been struggling with not feeling like myself, never really feeling motivated to do anything, always forcing myself to do the normal things of life, and really worrying about aging because I already felt old and I couldn’t imagine if it got worse! Today I feel like myself again! I can’t believe it! I’m so excited! I just had to thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! And by the way no side effects at all! I have always taken lots of magnesium, sea salt, and selenium so perhaps that is why it was so easy. Also, it appears to have regulated my appetite! Even though I have been on ketogenic diet for over a year-and-a-half I never got the energy or appetite regulation that people described. Since I've been on iodine after I finish eating I am full and done eating. I don't want anything else and I don't crave sweets! It is life-changing! I am so grateful, thanks again!

A must read

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019

I would give this 10 stars! Thank you Ms. Farrow! Regular doctors are clueless about the iodine crisis. They just keep prescribing synthetic drugs instead of really looking for other ways to treat their patients. My doctor's first 'go-to' is her prescription pad. If I question things -- like side effects -- I'm told 'no, it's fine'. My doctor NEVER asks me if I have any questions or concerns. The office is like a revolving door - get 5-8 minutes tops and bye-bye. I learned that you have to be your own doctor, unfortunately. I wish insurance paid for naturopaths, but big pharma would never allow that! They want you to take prescription drugs instead of natural things like iodine. They don't make any money from that (and neither does your doctor!) I applaud the doctors who have recognized the problem and are doing something about it. I dare say most of them are just like my current doctor.

Everyone should read this book. So many people have been helped by recognizing how deficient we are in this very important element. Breast cancer has greatly increased since 1970 because women are not getting enough of this critical element (and getting poisoned by bromide). In 1970, 1 of 20 women got breast cancer; today, it is 1 out of 7. I had wondered what the little red mole-like things were that were on my body. Now I know -- cherry angiomas as a result of bromide poisoning -- depleting iodine in my body. As Ms. Farrow says in her book, get away from thinking you have to accept everything your doctor says because 'they must know what they're doing'. They are not interested in curing you, just making your blood numbers confirm to certain guidelines. I have lost faith in my current doctor and am in the process of finding another doctor; a task that is indeed daunting.

Dramatic results - good-bye grave.

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2015

The book is well-researched and packed with solid information. I would like to encourage others with my own story. In the past two years I have gradually increased my iodine intake. Since beginning the iodine (very low dose), I have lost 17-20 pounds without dieting a single day, and it has stayed off (even during the holidays). With each iodine increase, my energy has increased. In the past two weeks I have started using Lugol's 2% (only one drop a day which I think experts would consider a teeny amount). I gave no thought to seeing any changes, so after doing several extra nonessential chores for 3-4 days I realized Hey, it has to be the iodine increase. If my energy is really low, it causes a minor case of the blues. With the recent increase I am feeling even more uplifted all through the day. I tried two drops yesterday which upset my stomach (I then drank a second big glass of water which did the trick), my face became flushed, my scalp itched for a couple of minutes, and an itchy hive broke out on my neck. However, none of this was a problem--other than my concern that it might get worse--and it all lasted less than five minutes. I went back into the book and read that taking the iodine with food on the stomach usually solves the upset stomach. Some say taking it early is best as late-day doses can keep one awake. For years I felt like a deflated balloon all day long. Everything I accomplished was only through a very hard push. Now I feel like I'm up out of the grave, and I am eager to experience more improvements as I continue to increase the dosage.

Warning! Too much iodine can hurt you!

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2018

I read this book after finding out I had very fibrocystic breasts, was estrogen dominant, had a hot spot on a thermogram. That led to a mammogram, which led to a call that they saw two spots in my right breast on a mammogram and I needed to come back for more mammograms and an ultrasound. I had been taking a couple drops of iodine topically on and off for several years, but when I got scared I tried desperately to see how much I should take to correct my problems. No one really wants to say. So after researching I decided to take 50 mg. orally, plus I was painting it on my painful areas on my breast, not realizing that was adding to the 50 mg. I ended up with extreme anxiety, insomnia, and then depression...basically all the symptoms of a hyper thyroid. I hope this helps someone to not make the same mistakes I made. I’m starting to get better, but I’m not completely healed yet.

Great book! Well written and researched. I’m beginning my Iodine Protocol immediately. I knew there was something bad about bread that affected my health, Bromine! Amazing how much of your health is affected by a lack of Iodine! Bromine in bread depletes your Iodine, even if you’re getting some elsewhere which is unlikely to be enough.

I highly recommend you read this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2018

I highly recommend you read this book, especially if you have fibrocystic breasts, breast cancer, prostate issues, or any health issues at all... I was vaguely aware that none of us is getting enough iodine, but the real extent of the problem really is shocking. I lost a couple of nasty long-term health issues days after starting supplementing with 2 drops of 15% Lugol's daily. And this is just the beginning of the positive effect! Used to get hives attacks several times a week - gone after 2 days (total of 4 drops) of Lugol's!!! Also used to get very painful nail bed infections, these all but disappeared too. I used to get at least one infected nail at a time, which was making me miserable, especially as I work with my hands. Sometimes I would be awake half of the night because of the throbbing pain....In the 2.5 months since taking Lugol's I had 1 nail infected, and it wasn't even painful. Now on to Dr Brownstein's Iodine book, which, thankfully, is available in e-book format from his website.

A must-read for the iodine deficient

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book introduced me to the high-dose iodine protocol that has reversed my symptoms of hypothyroidism and in my opinion, prevented me from being on thyroid drugs for life. It's a fantastic book - easy to read and well-sourced with interesting case histories and lucid how-to guides on various aspects of following the high-dose iodine protocol. The historical information it contains about how iodine was widely used in the 19th century is fascinating.
The one thing I didn't really like about this book was the accusatory tone of some of the language used - eg, "Who stole my iodine?". This makes the book seem a bit sensationalist at times, and less authoritative. It's still an important book to read for anyone who is interested in learning more about taking high doses of iodine.

Content accurate, writing poor

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

I read the first couple of chapters of this book and had a skim through the rest. It wasn’t well written and I find it hard to believe the author is a journalist. The book may be factually correct in that it makes it clear that 1) we need iodine for the body to function correctly and 2) there are many conditions that iodine can solve but it will not guide you how to use iodine to improve your particular condition. I have returned this book and I am going to look for something that has step-by-step details on how you safely take iodine to improve my condition. Sorry author - I am sure I could not do a better job myself and sorry to be critical.

What a fantastic book. A real eye opener.
I feel so much more educated and better able to make informed choices regarding my health.
I bought it to figure out the link between thyroid issues and lack of iodine but came away with so much more.
Well worth buying and reading and retaining its message. It is an important one.
The author has done a great service by sharing her research and knowledge.

Why did nobody say before …?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

Although I am only part way through this book I am finding it very informative. Lots of things that I suspected about our modern chemical lifestyle which damage our health are revealed here, particularly with reference to the way iodine is used by our bodies and how chemicals, aging etc. can stop it from working/being absorbed into our bodies. I had known that iodine had been used in medicine for centuries, but not why it suddenly dropped out of use. I was not aware of the wide range of disorders that lack of iodine can cause, or where the RDA for this nutrient comes from- it’s quite ridiculous! There are plenty of (short) personal testimonies which are relatable to. This is obviously intended for an American audience, but is quite readable for Brits. The only problem I have had is working out the different quantities of iodine from the brand that she uses to the brand I use. I look forward to finishing it and seeing where it will lead me.
