Haven’t had bladder pain, Candida or UTI for more than 3 years, simply by choosing low oxalate foods! Thank you for educating us on this very important information!
I can’t thank you enough for this presentation. I’ve been looking for relief and this resonates so much. Off to clean out the fridge and pantry. 100 thumbs up!
So might this be the cause of the ulcerations in the bladder that they find in a lot of IC patients?! Hunner’s lesions, I believe they’re called. And the GAG layer… Thank you for the wonderful video!
Very interesting. Do you think oxalates could contribute to endometriosis?
Since going low Oxalate I have managed to reduce my frequent nightly trips to the bathroom to 1, it was exhausting, what a relief!

This is the first review I have ever taken the time to write, but I believe in this product so much that I thought it was worth it. To say that using this has been life-changing for me would be a gross understatement. I have struggled with recurring bladder infections for years. I lost count long ago how many, but I have suffered at least 50, no exaggeration. I’ve seen specialists and undergone a litany of invasive procedures only to be told that “I’m just lucky” and there were no answers. I’ve been prescribed every antibiotic they have for UTI’s and built such a resistance that the usual Cipro and Septra do nothing except make it come back stronger, and I have to take stronger and longer doses of Nitrofurantoin, still with possibility of recurrence. Since doctors couldn’t offer me anything except more pharmaceuticals that could do more harm than good, I did my own research. I found lots of articles online about using D-Mannose supplements. I tried it a few years ago from a different company and it did nothing for me, so I gave it up. Once I again had another nasty bout more recently, I decided to give it another try and bought this product. This is singularly the only thing that has ever worked for me, and there are no side effects! It takes away any discomfort just as quickly as an antibiotic and actually cures it in a shorter period of time with no recurrence. The lack of side effects means I can take a few doses a day with lots of water at the first sign of infection without fear of harming myself. I think early detection is key, and at this point I’m very attuned to what’s happening with my body. I have already purchased a couple bottles as I have run out and I will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I can not recommend this product enough. As far as I’m concerned, these are miracle pills. They have truly changed my life. Thank you!!!

The supplement has been working great so far. I am a T-7 paraplegic and self catheterize daily, consequently UTI’s are an issue. I have been using this supplement for the last 4 months and have had no symptoms since. I am very happy with the product as of now!

I have suffered with UTI’s for years and my poor doc has put me on every antibiotic out there. Nothing seemed to work. Determined to find an answer I found this. Thank goodness. No more feeling like I have to go and can’t, no more pressure or pain. This really has worked for me. I will keep taking it forever.

I had a UTI for the first time, went on antibiotics, and a month later got a UTI again. I started freaking out that I was going to be someone with chronic UTIs… I found out about D-Mannose and briefly took antibiotics to clear up the UTI, and now take D-Mannose every night before bed and then whenever I do any activities that could promote UTI, if you know what I mean 😉 It’s been three months and I haven’t gotten one again! Whenever I feel like one might be coming on I take a double dose and wait and hour for it to set in before drinking lots of water, and that seems to have worked. This is a great price for what you’re getting.

This has been a great help with my UTI’s. I would get them multiple times per month, and this has helped in avoiding them and making the UTI’s shorter
Do you track your iodine intake? Do you supplement or focus on iodine-rich foods?

Awesome information! Thank you for your hardwork and dedication to helping others find a solution to poor health or health ailments. God bless you
Great vid thank you. Can you please publish the first slide with the foods that are high, moderate and low i think everyone can benefit from it
Thanks. For the past few months I’ve been having about 3 nori sheets per day in an effort to get adequate iodine. I haven’t gotten it tested recently, the last time I got it tested it was right after I went plant-based almost 2 years ago and it was normal at that time, but hoping to get it tested again when I go in for my annual checkup in October or so.
Hi! Thanks for your videos, I’m planning to move to a vegan diet and I am researching a lot about supplements. I found that half a teaspoon (2.5 ml) of iodized salt is sufficient to meet our daily needs. Is that correct? So far my research, if we have a well plant-based diet we can have fulfill most of our nutritional needs except vitamin B12, omega 3 & DHA, and vitamin D (when you are not able to have sun exposure ). I would like to know if you agree with this? Thanks!
Im so happy to hear all off this. I will be scheduling my next appt with you right now. I already got my blood work.
I am taking lugol’s iodine 50 milgrams per day…. Iodine is needed in milgrams… It boosts my muscles, immunity and brain like crazy
You should read dr. Brownstein book iodine why you need it and why you can not live without it
And the iodine crisis book
Wow, you guys must have a very high opinion of your viewers! lol Most of that was way over my head. Thanks. I think I picked up some of it. haha
My favorite treat was dark chocolate covered almonds that was until I found out about oxalates! I still think no oxalate is better than low oxalate.
Elliot you are great, white potatoes everyday, along w huge amounts of iced black tea and hot tea all day w tons of cinnamon, I quit, if I cheat (a cup of tea) I can feel the spikes on my tongue, oxalates are sneaky, thanks for your work. Also my friend w “gout” I made him binge watch you and Sally, he now believes it is ozalates, not uric acid, he was shocked at the foods he ate high in oxalates, he had been blaming meat.
I’m going to spend the holiday not thinking about this stuff. I’m eating mostly meat anyways.
Are calcium oxalate stones also traveling through the arterial system? Is that why someone gets high calcium scores?
Buckwheat has always made my mouth and throat itchy. Oxalates are probably why.
Thank you so much! I just tested very very low on Iodine and I am starting a protocol to supplement so I can have a healthy Thyroid gland and thrive on a raw vegan fruitarian lifestyle!
I highly recommend Dr. David Brownstein’s iodine book. Full of helpful information!
“[…] it may be
concluded that the average of daily iodine intake through Konbu is about 1.2 mg in Japan. Of course, iodine intake from Konbu is not the total iodine intake, but the answer to the question ‘‘What is the iodine intake in Japan’’ may be that excessive iodine intake in Japan is due to the ingestion of seaweeds especially Konbu and iodine intake by the seaweeds averaged 1.2 mg=d in 2006. It should also be mentioned that the average intake of Konbu differs greatly according to age, family structure, and region.”
Nagataki S. (2008). The average of dietary iodine intake due to the ingestion of seaweeds is 1.2 mg/day in Japan. Thyroid: official journal of the American Thyroid Association, 18(6), 667–668. https://doi.org/10.1089/thy.2007.0379
“We estimate that the average Japanese iodine intake […] is 1,000-3,000 μg/day (1-3 mg/day). This estimate compares to a recent report claiming that the average iodine intake of the Japanese from kelp is around 1,200 μg/day (1.2 mg/day)”

Re interstitial cystitis as a possible nonsense disease, (I had the same opinion of fibromyalgia initially) when I was diagnosed with it, my then pain doctor (a DO) told me that he’d been taught that after end stage cancer, IC has the poorest quality-of-life. I tried the lidocaine infusions and discovered I was allergic to the drug. I also had bladder stones, sinus stones, tonsil stones and a world famous Wash DC hospital was convinced that I had an ovary 20 yrs post full hysterectomy. It was a calcium-ox growth the size of an oyster shell. I had it surgically removed. My bladder can hold 1.5 liters…I had my spinal cord detethered but sadly it didn’t help the neurogenic bladder.
I’ve yet to hear you list one thing from oxalates and thiamine deficiency that I have not been diagnosed with at some point.
Love your posts Elliot!
Bromine also competes with iodine for absorption. They used to put iodine in flour, but now it is bromine…So someone who eats refines flour could even struggle more with deficiency, from my understanding
This video was not useful.. The requirement for iodine/iodide is way more than 150mcg…especiqllybif you’re a woman with large breasts.every single cell needs iodine or iodide or both.. Lugols and iodoral are the safest and most accurate dosage for vegans. Look into the iodine doctors who have specialized in this mineral and who are the real experts. Jorge flechas has life saving info that helped me get my life back.. Boron is another mineral everyone is lacking and needs to be supplemented… Listen up people! We live in a dirty world and being vegan helps stay healthier but everyone needs to supplement!!!! You cannot get your minerals and nutrients just from the food… I tried this for years and I became zinc, vit d, iodine, iron and copper deficient.
how have we ever gotten 150mcg of iodine a day in the past and how are humans supposed to get this much iodine? even when i ate meat i didnt eat fish everyday, surely not all cultures who dont live near the ocean have iodine deficiency? blows my iodine deficient mind..
i quit oxalates since 3 days, was eating many oats, dark chocolate, fruits, potatoes before.. iam suffering hard now… can anyone tell me if there is a connection between oxalates and depression? my depression got worse at the moment together with other symptoms(muscle pain). I do not know if it is currently because I eat a very smal amount of carbohydrates or oxalates dumping.
I suspect I have an iodine deficiency. I don’t use iodized salt and don’t eat very much seaweed snacks. I just started taking an iodine supplement yesterday. I ordered some dulse. I will eat a little of it everyday and if I forget, I could take the supplement on those days I guess??? Could this reverse hypothyroidism? I feel like iodine was the missing link in my health plan.
how many supplements do you take? dont you feel like people like you who reccomend all this bullshit are just making veganism seem ridiculous to most people? not one of my friends would go vegan if i told them they had to do all this crap, i went vegan via Dr Mcdougall because he made it seem easy and made it seem like id get all the b12 i needed from growing some of my own food.. i was sussing the diet out for a year before i went vegan and i remember i was saying to myself the whole time “something has got to be missing (some nutrient that is)” well.. how bloody right was i.. 6 years of vegan without taking any supplements at all, now thanks to people like you and Dr Greger and Goji man im done with this shit.. Dr Pam Popper is the only one around saying that not only do we not have to worry about all this stuff (except b12) but its actually dangerous to follow your/these recommendations.. and not only does she back it up with evidence but she teaches people how to spot faulty research.. so just imagine how confused i am.. what the FUCK am i supposed to do.. i aint doin all this shit if i have to eat certain foods everyday or take supplements im gonna have to quit which sucks cause i love animals man.. but im not the type to follow all these rules or go to the doctor either and especially not get blood tests hell no im scared or needles and i aint takin pills either, was already disturbed with needing b12.. now its even worse cause according to you i was taking the wrong one.. this is the shittest fucking diet in the word if we have to take all these dangerous supplements and be so careful to eat certain shitty ridiculas foods im so lost here.. i just want to be free from all this shit like 7 years ago
The thing is, dairy contains iodine due to a variety of reasons, one being pure supplementation in the cows diets (which then becomes, why filter a mineral through someone else’s body), another is iodine containing teat dips used to wash their udders (other germicides are sometimes used: chlorhexidine, quaternary ammonium, sodium hypochlorite, dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid, chlorine, nisin, hydrogen peroxide (which isn’t very effective), glycerol monolaurate, and fatty acid based products) which by the way are only 50 95% effective at controlling/minimizing mastitis caused by intramammary infections, so some germicides are better than others which is done by the way to keep somatic cell (white blood cell) counts in the legal limit, not because your or the cows health is of concern. But another is due to the cleaning products used, one being iodophors as mentioned in this video, sometimes “food grade” bleach is used or both, a bleach that kills bacteria but has no effect on our gut flora? sure bud.
How is nobody thinking, what else is left over from these cleaning solvents/disinfectants? the non active ingredients, the water-soluble detergents or surfactants or moisturizers or emulsifiers if it is fatty acid containing. And some of these active ingredients have a fairly long half life, would they have no effect?
Another question I have, if you intake less iodine, would you not excrete less? I mean we see this with pretty much everything, would it not work that way with iodine? Of course I’m just speculating, I wouldn’t rely on that. I personally supplement 150 mcg because I can’t handle seaweed, nori is nice but doesn’t contain too much.
I’m not looking at an answer from you per se, I’m just asking questions that if anyone reads should ask as well.
Sally K Norton advises supplementing with calcium citrate, magnesium citrate, potassium citrate, it will ease the symptoms of dumping and rid the body of this toxin, apple cider vinegar is reputed to be helpful.
Many thanks for the info. I believe it’s important to keep to the recommended dose too, without exceeding it.

“Korean nori contains extraordinary large quantities of iodine, and all the other co-factors. http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jf981065c (this report also details the iodine quantity found in some nori) I would recommend you consume about 20g to correct a deficeny (it will also provide D vitamin and B12), and 4 grams for maintance. http://www.leapro.co/corporate-makeover-lean-green-machine
