Hi all, as for testing by doctor, I had to lend my book on Iodine Deficiency by Dr. Brownstein to my integrative MD....she was not up on this issue. I never tested at her office...I learned of this possible issue from Dr. David Williams in his Alternatives newsletter and it made so much sense. I don't eat MUCH seafoods, I eat some, and don't use table salts. Cooking some salmon today, but I don't eat fish many days. So for me, it made sense.. Here is home test I've done many times over the years and iodine disappears pretty quickly. This is done with iodine tincture.

Personally, I think conventional MD's would give a blank look if you asked for a test...
