Physician Says Recommended Daily Iodine Intake Is Totally Wrong

Written by Robert Yoho, MD on September 3, 2025. Posted in Current News

I reedited and am reposting this iodine article for three reasons

1. Taking enough iodine creates more positive outcomes than any other supplement except testosterone and vitamin D. It is harmless, over-the-counter, and half of us are deficient.
2. Just as for boron, vitamin D, vitamin K, and many other critical supplements, the Cabal destroys our health by recommending grossly inadequate iodine doses. For those of us who understand, these criminal acts enhance the credibility of these vital nutrients.
3. My readership was small when I first published this vital information.

Iodine, vitamin D, boron, and vitamin K have been suppressed through nearly identical dosing and “standards” frauds.

The following preamble to my D post, published last week, explains:

For D and iodine, the units were changed to intimidate us, criminally low dosing standards were imposed, and properly dosed supplements were made hard to find.

The same strategy has been used for boron. Boron is restricted from easy availability in the UK and the EU. The only supplement sources I found in the US were 3 mg capsules—a nearly homeopathic dose. Borax laundry detergent, which is safe for internal consumption, is available here, however. From my post:

Borax powder is about 11.3 percent boron, meaning a ¼ teaspoon contains approximately 113 mg of boron. Ted from Earth Clinic recommends a daily dose of ¼ teaspoon of Borax laundry detergent in a liter of water for men and 1/8 teaspoon of Borax in 1 liter of water for women. This equates to men consuming about 113 mg of boron daily, while women consume around 56 mg daily.

As for vitamin K, my readers’ comments made me realize that conventional dosing was most likely another pack of lies. To suppress it, the same strategy used for D and boron seems to have been implemented.

The US and the rest of the world outside Japan say a milligram or two is adequate. Japan’s accepted dose of 30 mg is 30 times higher. Understanding this is critical if you want to consider high-dose D, for K is a “cofactor” that should be taken in adequate doses to keep you safe.

HERE is a US source for high-dose K. Products that do not contain enough are everywhere.

My article, “Almost everything scares me these days” outlines other conspiracies designed to destroy our health. These include, but are not limited to, sunlight avoidance, ubiquitous EMF exposure, and ivermectin suppression.

My rule in our Age of Lies is to never attribute to incompetence what might be due to malice, the opposite of Hanlon’s Razor. This states, “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.”

Women have more problems with low iodine consumption than men, and pregnancy and nursing require increased iodine consumption. The following stories from Ms. Farrow’s book describe how deficient women respond to supplementation.

They suddenly feel great—sometimes on the first day.

Patient story, Alice: breast calcifications, coldness, hair loss, Raynaud’s Disease, all clearing up or resolved

I started using iodine about 18 months ago when I decided not to get a stereotactic biopsy for suspicious calcifications. I took an iodine loading test. I was only slightly deficient, about 15 percent, but the doctor advised me to take 100 mg daily of Iodoral along with ATP cofactors in case of an early stage of cancer.

About six months ago, I had an ultrasound of the area, and after careful examination, there were no visible calcifications. I did not get a mammogram as I do not want to have one anymore, but I knew that the calcifications picked up on my last mammogram had also been seen on the ultrasound. Also, thermographs showed improvement and less inflammation in the area.

Iodine has done wonders for me. Fibrocystic disease is clearing up. I also think that I may have had a sluggish thyroid that was not picked up on blood tests, as now my feet are no longer cold, my Raynaud’s Disease has gone away, and my alopecia (hair loss) is almost resolved.

Now I am taking 50 mg of Iodoral a day, as it will probably take another few years to resolve my fibrocystic disease totally. I took other measures that I researched, but I think the Iodoral was the main player in my success. I hope my story helps others.

Patient story, Marla: Lumpy, sore, fibrocystic breasts resolve. Energy improves

I want to tell you about my experiences with Iodoral. It has been the most beneficial product I have ever used. I have fibrocystic breasts, which my gyno described as just lumpy, sore breasts. He said it really doesn’t hurt you, it just hurts. Well, I think that is bull.

I started doing some research on my own, ended up going to a chiro for a back problem. She had me lie on my stomach to adjust me, and, wow, did my breast hurt! Well, that was the best day of my “health” life! My husband was the first one to notice a difference and link it to the Iodoral. In about three weeks, I just felt good. Really good. I had energy, I felt like going places and doing things.

It was not a jittery caffeine energy; it was just what a normal 30-year-old should feel like. And my libido was back. That is what my husband noticed! Prior to the Iodoral, I just didn’t want to be with my husband. But suddenly, I wanted to! And finally, on to my breast. My breast pain would start exactly 10 days before my period. And be very severe.

On the second month, no pain before. None at all. And as long as I am on my Iodoral, it doesn’t come back. If I am not on it, it comes back immediately. My mother had breast cancer at 38. I am now 35, I have taken control of my health, and I will not be a silent victim!

What we can learn from censored sources

Although errors are often made in medical reporting, the following “mistakes” and conflicts lend credibility to the idea that globalists are guiding the mainstream iodine narrative. For example, Wikipedia’s article “Iodine (medical use)” contains none of this information.

WebMD’s write-up had none, either. This company, originally CarsDirect.com, is now owned by a massive marketing company that an enormous hedge fund purchased. Advertising, third-party contributions, and sponsors finance it, and some of them influence its content. The parent company also owns Lexis-Nexis, a center of left-wing lunacy.

A third, Healthline, has the biased title, “Ten Uses for Iodine: Do Benefits Outweigh the Risks?” It says:

Given the wide availability of iodine in Western diets, thyroid health isn’t typically impacted by low iodine levels in the United States… Despite the role iodine can play in disinfecting drinking water, there are also some concerns that it can increase the total iodine intake in humans and lead to adverse health effects (Yoho note: this is unreferenced). Total iodine intake shouldn’t exceed 2 mg per day (This cites NIH sources, which are certainly captured).

In contrast, the iodine truther community says twelve-and-a-half to fifty mg daily is the optimal dose of iodine for normal people. As Lynne learned with her breast cancer, glandular tumors such as breast, prostate, and thyroid can sometimes be suppressed using several hundred milligrams daily. But for most people, Dr. Brownstein recommends starting with 25 mg every morning. See the references and the dosing recommendations below to learn more.

On a hazard-to-benefit ratio, buying iodine and starting to take it is an excellent idea. If you take too little, it works poorly, and if you take too much, it gets excreted in the urine if your kidney function is normal. The only problem that occasionally occurs is getting “hyper” or “revved up.” Savvy patients rely on their responses to adjust their doses.

Feeling better can be nearly instantaneous or take weeks. If you have thyroid issues, seek supervision from an experienced practitioner who knows about iodine. Brownstein says that he can often successfully manage Graves’ and Hashimoto’s thyroid diseases simply by using larger doses of iodine.

He rarely resorts to radioactive iodine, which is the “standard of care” for these conditions. This is used to partially or wholly destroy hyperactive thyroids, but it unfortunately spreads throughout the body and causes long-term damage.

I had a formal consultation about my health with Dr. Ken Stoller. Among other things, he recommended a drop of “nascent” iodine every morning. That set me on the path to reading all I could and writing this post. I was soon taking six drops daily, and later increased my dose to 50 milligrams a day of other types.

It is disgraceful that this knowledge is not a part of standard medical training and practice.

Dosing

There are 1000 micrograms in a milligram. The RDA recommends routine iodine doses of 150 to 300 micrograms (.15 to .3 milligrams). Lynne Farrow and David Brownstein advise 25 to 50 milligrams daily—roughly a hundred times more.

According to Dr. Brownstein, people with breast, prostate, and other glandular cancers should take several hundred milligrams a day if they can tolerate it. Thyroid disease can often be cured with carefully dosed iodine alone.

Synthesis and recap

Iodine is the most useful supplement after hormone replacement and vitamin D, and it is over-the-counter. At least half of Americans have an iodine deficiency, and the inexpensive replacement of at least 25 mg per day produces profound health improvements for them.

Glandular cancers such as prostate and breast often respond to several hundred milligrams daily, and replacing iodine should be the first consideration in thyroid disease. See stopthethyroidmadness.com for a comprehensive discussion of that. The only typical side effect of overdoing it is becoming hyper, and if the dose is decreased, this goes away.

Captured sources recommend adult doses of only 150-300 micrograms (.15 to 3/10th of a milligram) daily and claim the upper safe limit is 1,100 mcg (one milligram). They warn of dire consequences for those taking more. However, after reading Farrow’s and Brownstein’s books, I know that far higher doses are safe and may save you from many ills, even cancer.

To obtain 50 mg, take 2.5 cc of 2 percent Lugol’s in orange juice. For 100 mg, a minimal dose for a cancer patient, you would need to take five cc, which is a lot of nasty-tasting Lugol’s, so mix it with something.

Warning: Finding a “health provider” who knows even these basics is difficult. If you go it alone, watch yourself, and if you feel poorly, reduce your dose and go more slowly.
