My Sea Salt does not have iodine. I am using Morton Fine and they put a no iodine warning right on it. It is sea salt from Spain.
Thanks
So glad to hear that you are able to add a little variety in every now and again. That has to help a lot, to be able to have even a small treat on occasion.
Will definitely keep you and NCSEADOG on my prayer list.
Take care, and May God bless,

I think all sea salt has iodine in it. It’s in ocean water.
Almost all the sea salt I’ve looked into that I can find around here has additives, potassium iodide and anti-caking agents.
He’d be best off trying kosher salt for the time being. It is just salt.
I also have severe allergies, dust, cats, grass pollen, tree pollen, some scents.
I sympathize with your situation. Please see a specialist in this area and be test for other things you might be allergic to.
For example, I know of a person who is extremely allergic to soy. Do you know you can’t buy catsup with it having soy in it?
Well, that OK but it seemed as though I was totally incorrect which isn’t the case. The ingredients are Salt and Yellow Prussiate of Soda, thats it.
Chocolate has mostly Bromine, so it is the antidote to Iodine poisoning.
Prayers lifted.
I agree, in Jesus’ Holy and Healing Name, Amen.
I didn’t mean it to sound that way.

Yellow Prussiate of Soda is an anti-caking agent. I don’t know the actual chemical composition, but as one who reacts to almost everything, I would strongly suggest he start with as pure, close to single ingredient foods as possible.
One of the most frustrating things about tracking down food sensitivities is trying to figure out what in a food it is that is causing the problem. You have to get on a diet that doesn’t cause a reaction and then add ONE thing at a time. If you add more than one, or something with more than one ingredient, you drop back and punt, because you don’t know what it was that caused the reaction. You then lose time in testing by having to try each item only by itself.
I knew what it was but found it amusing that you used all caps against Sea Salt. It probably would be best to try Kosher. A body cannot function without salt.
But poisoning is not the same as an allergic reaction.
Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are all chemically very similar; they occupy the same group. They’re halogens and their outer valence shell is structurally very similar so they react chemically the same way. So, yes, I could certainly see where bromine would help with iodine poisoning, but it would not help with an allergy.
However, I’d expect that anyone sensitive to iodine would also react to fluorine, chlorine, and bromine.
I’m going to guess that pool water makes him break out, so I would avoid drinking tap water that has not been de-chlorinated, and that he can’t use fluoridated toothpaste. (I haven’t been able to use any toothpaste in well over a year)
Hi I am a Christian, and I have done some successful work with allergies. If you would like to chat with me over the phone (yes I can do it over the phone) I will comp you my fee. I am on the west coast 805 551-8784. Give me a call at 930 on.

I have to admit, I was yelling. :)
You aren’t allowed any salt?
Praying for your healing!
I agree with you in that prayer in Jesus’ Name, Amen!
Prayers unaffected Seadog. It sounds as though you have quite a problem and when it affects your energy it affects everything. Sometimes we get sidetracked but prayer is #1 for you to find a specialist that can fix a body as fast as a radar.
