Iodine: A Functional Medicine Philosophy

Iodine is critically important. The immune cells actually use iodine as part of their defensive mechanism to kill organisms. I don't get too hung up in having anybody take, I don't like people overdosing with iodine for sure. We need a mild to moderate amount of iodine. Most of us probably get a sufficient level in our diets and we don't have to go out of our way.
