  • I live next door to a commercial wine vineyard and I'm convinced the pesticide spraying has contributed to my thyroid-like autoimmune symptoms and the cancer rates among women in my neighborhood. I started slowly dosing iodine and using celtic sea salt last year (without a loading test,,,I know....not recommended but, they don't ship to California and I don't have anyone in another state to ship to me) Anyway, my thyroid nodules are gone. I'm a retired RN. I stopped seeing doctors in 2021 during Covid and started taking vitamins, eating clean, organic and walking 3-5 miles a day. I don't trust mainstream medicine anymore! All of my friends are convinced I'm killing myself by not going to the doctor but, it beats the alternative: big pharma which is killing people! May God be with us all....

    Curiosity may ā€œKill the Catā€ but a bold, persistent, curious doctor is a godsend to mankind.

    Stopped go to doctor from repeated disappointment with treatment of Thyroid. Started Lugol's iodine about 6 months ago, felt a little better at first then learned using 1/2 the dose I should be using and wasn't using much salt and felt like I was going to pass out all day long. Then today uped my Redmonds Salt and Lugol's iodine and OMG I my brain woke, no kidding. I'm 72 yrs. old.šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
  • My niece recently died at 28 and they couldn't even say what or where the cancer came from. The past few years drs worrying about covid neglected all else. Really impacted how I feel about the medical profession.
  • @vickybrame7307
    I had been diagnosed hypothyroid and my weight skyrocketed. I never could get my weight down and my doc said well it's not your thyroid your numbers are good. I over the years had a hip replacement and a heart attack. I'm someone who doesn't smoke, drink and couldn't have gluten and dairy. Many digestive issues. I couldve been spared all these symptoms. I have found carnivore and iodine. I'm finally feeling more like myself than I have in 35 years.
  • I have the greatest admiration for you Doc for standing up for your patients. I am a family physician in Cape Town and I adopted the same approach as you did. COVID was a treatable illness. I had no problem treating thousands of patients in Cape Town. I salute you šŸŽ‰
  • @loulanning9829
    I am 70 years old and me and my wife both go to this clinic and Hailey Brownstein is our doctor. They are very thorough.
  • @toni4729
    This is only the second doctor I've heard praise salt. At LAST. Finally.
  • @RBGoodfat
    This man is a good and very special man. Thank God for him.
  • @aquamarine0023
    What a brilliant doctor who is truly wise and courageous and has a GENUINE heart for people. So glad I found this interview.
  • This was a BRILLIANT interview šŸ‘ Well done for getting this doctor on! X
  • @marygrabill7127
    Hey Doc, that FTC letter is a badge of honour in my opinion!
  • @sandraolson8635
    I have Hashimotos and I read Dr Brown steinā€™s book a couple years ago. Started Lugols solution, Redmonds salt instead of the cheap stuff, and reduced grains in diet. Thyroid nodules have reduced and TSH and antibodies are within normal ranges now.
  • Thank you so much. This made so much sense and is absolutely life changing. I canā€™t express enough thank you. ā¤
  • Dr Brownstein definitely has street cred. Heā€™s an OG standing up for justice.
  • @Castus-en7op
    Amazing interview with one of my favourite doctors whose decades of work has been largely ignored by the foolish medical establishment.
  • @jackblack4367
    VERY enlightening. I dropped my doctor because of his willingness to prescribe meds. To this day, it is very hard to find a functional medicine doctor.
