Dr David Brownstein: Holistic Health and Debunking the Low-Salt Myth

I’ve been going to Dr Brownstein for 20 years. He’s worked wonders for my health.

Thanks for debunking all the health myths and rolling back the misinformation so we can shift toward greater health. Thanks for David Brownstein coming on. I love his story.

I am a huge fan of Dr Brownstein. Not only has his advice gotten me completely off all thyroid medications and feeling so much better...but he also saved all my coworkers from a nasty respiratory virus that was making us all miserable. His viral treatments really work!

Dr. Ehrlich, you surely know that your last name means "honest" or "honestly", and in your podcast you're indeed living up to your name. Thanks so much for your great work!

Ever since I added unrefined salt to my lifestyle, the awful callouses on the heels of my feet went completely away and stayed away.

God bless you Dr. David Brownstein for speaking the truth! Thank you for your work 🙏 great work for the interviewer too! 💚

Great discussion! I totally agree that the best patients are those who make a point of educating themselves. There's so much misinformation about nutrition that it is a disgrace. They touched on the reason why and I believe more people are recognizing that money is running our healthcare system not the quality of our health. I started out as a registered dietitian in 1982 and eventually went into private practice because I felt the standards of practice were very often not helping people get better. The only exception would be the people with kidney disease. Eventually I went back to grad school and became a licensed psychotherapist because I felt that nutrition problems we're very psychologically influenced and I wasn't trained to go down that road. The combination of the two is fantastic. I greatly appreciate Dr. Brownstein and all of the open minded docs who interview him. His message is based in science as well as decades of experience. As he has said, he's not treating paper he's treating people. He was referring to labwork alone driving treatment. If a person is obviously improving and they have strange lab work, how they feel and function should always be a major consideration! Don't expect your conventional doctor to agree with that.

46:00 BINGO!!! Everyone is irritated here….I will NEVER trust the CDC again

Thank you Dr. Brownstein for sharing your knowledge. I had two goiters on my neck the size of golf balls. Didn’t know why my neck was so bulky until I stumbled upon your videos. Got the iodine drops and in 2 days the golf balls have went down significantly. I’m sooooo grateful for your love to share. May God continue to bless and protect you and your family. Much Love ❤ One day I’ll be able to make you my doctor. Peace ✌🏽

Realize that most people do not have a salt or iodine literate physician. There's no physician in my area that fits that bill by any stretch of the imagination. I would imagine that goes true for most of the population. So for those of us who don't have a physician literate in iodine or salt as a resource, I guess we're going to have to Wing it.

Just clarifying that the size of the salt crystal doesn't determine if it's refined or not. Both come in various GRIND sizes including: powdered, fine, regular, flaked and coarse.

Hi Ron, thanks for the video! Dr Brownstein is my absolute favorite!

I don't trust conventional doctors. Thank you for your hard work and actually caring for people

I would like to know what Dr. Brownstein thinks about the theory that pharmaceutical companies are adding products/compounds/chemicals that can cause both old and new diseases. Not only in prescription drugs, but OTC drugs, and vaccines as well. Also, does he think genetically modified foods play a role in contracting/creating illnesses and/or in the vast number of diseases we see today? (Example: Autism)

ORRECTIIN: it was Dr Ken Berry interviewed Dr Brownstein ( on another video I saw tonight). THANK YOU DR. KEN BERRY. ❗️& Dr BROWNSTEIN ❗️

Please don't ever mention sodium without mentioning POTASSIUM‼ Most people are even more deficient in POTASSIUM than sodium ‼They are synergistic‼

I love Dr Brownstein❤❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏

Wow. I needed this. I went 6 yrs without adding salt. [years ago] Oh those were TOTALLY MESSED UP YEARS. Right now I have horrid outbreak of Folliculitis. (On scalp. I’m 70. With history of that since I was 11). I watched a Dr Brownstein show with Dr Berg ( just b4 i am seeing this video). I have Standard Process (old bottle) Iodine Tablets. I took 3/4 of a Tablet last hour. ••• I will be listening to these 2 videos again - Dr Berg & this one. •Last few years I’ve been using Pink Morton’s Himalayan Salt. • I want so much for EVERYONE TO EAT RIGHT// STOP POISONING. ••• THANK YOU — for giving us this INFO. PRECIOUS INFO FOR PRECIOUS PEOPLE. THANKS BE TO GOD FOR TIMES ARE CHANGING FOR THE BETTER. 💖 Thank You For Helping Us All 🫡🥰

I love Dr Brownstein!!

Thanks for spreading truth. I don't know a physician who is salt or iodine knowledgeable. I can't even get them to test for more than the TSH (I finally tested myself). My hope is that just maybe doctors will finally stop the dangerous misinformation they use to "treat" patients (and make us sicker).
