Safety Profile
Western medicine uses RDA of 150mcg, iodine doctors recommend 12.5-50mg (100x higher). Based on Japanese seaweed intake (~13mg/day). Displaces bromide (fire retardants, pesticides). Companion nutrients are critical. Brownstein treated 5000+ patients. Thyroid controversy: helps some Hashimoto's, worsens others. Start low, monitor thyroid labs.
