worth a watch

No way would we get this kind of advice from GP's/Endos.

But we can help ourselves.

This guy says that iodine is a molecule. It's an atom.

I stopped there. Sorry.

Thanks for the link - very interesting video. On the issue of Iodine as an atom/molecule , I'll paste here an extract fom the Wikipedia page (allowing for Wikipedia not always being the most reliable source of information)

"Like the other halogens, free iodine occurs mainly as a diatomic molecule I2, and then only momentarily after being oxidized from iodide by an oxidant like free oxygen. In the universe and on Earth, iodine's high atomic number makes it a relatively rare element. However, its presence in ocean water has given it a role in biology. It is the heaviest essential element utilized widely by life in biological functions (only tungsten, employed in enzymes by a few species of bacteria, is heavier). Iodine's rarity in many soils, due to initial low abundance as a crust-element, and also leaching of soluble iodide by rainwater, has led to many deficiency problems in land animals and inland human populations. Iodine deficiency affects about two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of intellectual disabilities.[3]

Iodine is required by higher animals for synthesizing thyroid hormones, which contain the element. Because of this function, radioisotopes of iodine are concentrated in the thyroid gland along with nonradioactive iodine. If inhaled, the radioisotope iodine-131, which has a high fission product yield, concentrates in the thyroid, but is easily remedied with non-radioactive potassium iodide treatment."

Perhaps this is what the speaker was basing the 'iodine molecule' reference on?

I believe so.... yes.

Holistic treatment which in essence he is advocating for me makes total sense.
