This is an interesting point. I have only found one brand of sea salt
that is iodized, Hain, and it also has dextrose added to it. I started
using a brand called RealSalt since it does have some iodine in it
naturally. I tried some iodine tincture on my skin a couple of times.
The first time it went in completely overnight, this was before I
switched salt brands. The next time I did it, the stain did not go
away very quickly, it was there for a couple of weeks.
Kelp is a good source of all kinds of minerals, esp magnesium. I used
to take it and eat seaweed often, but then when I began having problems
with too much magnesium, I had to quit both before my leg cramps would
settle down.
There is another concern about iodine, which is that bromine is often
added to foods, like flour instead of iodine, and the bromine is taken
up by the body instead of iodine. That can cause an iodine deficiency
even if one is eating iodized salt.

Also, with your allergy to iodine, all bets are off... You may be
getting the iodine you need to survive from the meat. Soy consumption
apparently increases the requirements for iodine in the diet.
Some excerpts from http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C287036.html :
"Some otherwise healthful foods contain goitrogens - substances which
can interfere with iodine uptake or hormone release from the thyroid
gland. These foods are generally only a concern if iodine intake is
low.
Consumption of brassicas, such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli
and cauliflower, increase the requirements for iodine, especially if
consumed raw. Soybeans, raw flaxseed, cassava (used in tapioca), sweet
potatoes, lima beans, maize and millet also increase the requirements
for iodine."
"In October of 2003, one of many articles appeared on iodine deficiency
in vegetarians and vegans [Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism 47
(2003):
p.183]. Quoting from the paper: "One fourth of the vegetarians and 80%
of the vegans suffer from iodine deficiency..." Only 9% of the
meat-eaters were deficient. The milk drinkers were protected in part
because iodine-containing disinfectants are used to clean the milk
processing equipment. None of the vegetarians and vegans were eating
sea
vegetables, and none were using iodized salt - they were all using
"natural" sea salt, which has significantly less iodine."

No, quite the reverse. I'm a recovering vegetarian, and
having gone back to full scale meat eating, I can say that 2
or 3 years into it now, I'm still trying to heal the effects
of 30 years of insufficient protein and the harmful effects
of 30 years of soy. I theoretically ate enough soy to have
gotten enough protein, as it is claimed to be a complete
protein, but for me it wasn't. Might be due to the
antinutrients in soy, I don't know. I jsut know my body
really deteriorated into severe ill health over 30 years of
almost constant vegetarianism.
