It would be pretty dangerous for him to assume that everyone with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy having low iodine. Especially when you can be easily tested for low iodine. I wouldn't begin Iodine supplementation without talking to a endocrinologist.
I do agree with a lot of what he says. He also gives a timetable for nerve repair and speaks as if the condition isn't permanent. Which is very uplifting in theory but if the underlying cause is not found neuropathy is not going to go away, and even when the cause is found it usually merely be stopped from progression and not reversed.

I think I posted that link because I fear sometimes people are so desperate for relief that they will take much more than the product’s recommended dose without knowing the ramifications or if they are deficient in it. Many things our bodies produce naturally. Some of the vitamins/supplements we take will not harm us if we take too much as we urinate out what we don't need. Then there are some that have a potential for harm and it's good to know which ones.
