Iodine- A Magic Bullet

“Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity”

—Hippocrates

Are you fatigue all the time? Feel cold? Do you feel that your brain is scrambled and you are suffering from brain fog? Do you constantly gain weight even when you are working hard? Do you feel less energetic?Then you need to know more about Iodine-the noteworthy element in Holistic wellness. So far ,Iodine is the most misunderstood nutrient.

We’ve become iodine deficient since the 1970’s because the anti iodine bromine has purged iodine from our bodies! The Iodine deficiency, may account for why more people are sick, IQ’s are dropping while thyroid and other diseases continue to worsen. Obesity may not have to do with overeating as much as a bromine-caused metabolic slow-down that causes weight gain.

“Everybody knows certain environmental toxins cause cancer. What people don’t know is these toxins also make you “sick, fat and stupid.”-Lynne Farrow

Where are bromines?

One of the main reasons everyone is so deficient in iodine is due to the fact that toxic halogens like fluoride, chlorine and bromine , are present in everywhere in our environment. There is Fluoride in your toothpaste, chlorine in public drinking water and Bromine in flour, food additives, fire-retardants, pesticides, certain foods and sodas, drugs and personal care products. what they do? They deplete Iodine by sitting on their receptors.

Iodine consumption has decreased 50 percent since the 1970’s after the discovery of Penicillin. When patent antibiotics penicillin came into use after World War II,Iodine was considered “old-fashioned,” a cardinal sin in the medical community.Iodine deficiency diseases of the breast, prostate and thyroid, have increased during that time.Iodine deficiency in pregnant women is producing less intelligent children.

Iodine is an essential micro-nutrient. This means it is needed in small amounts by every cell in the body.It is vulnerable to environmental toxins such as bromide, pesticides and food additives….

From medical records in 1906, iodine was considered “The Universal Medicine”and used to treat:

• Goiter
• Atherosclerosis
• Uterine fibroid
• Mercury and lead poisoning
• Swollen glands
• Bronchitis and Pneumonia
• Obesity and depression
• Breast cancer
• Ovarian cysts
• Tonsillitis
• Cough
• Brain fog
• Fatigueness
• Psoriasis
• Hypothyroidism
• Digestive problem
• As a first aid
• Hair loss
• Menstrual irregularities
• Fertility problem
• Improving libido

Think you get enough iodine in your salt? Are you sure? Iodine in iodized salt begins evaporating as soon as the salt is opened, and is depleted over time—and the government RDA for iodine doesn’t make sense.

The notion that refined iodized salt is sufficient is the most dangerous misconception about iodine. From the time iodized salt leaves the factory until it gets on grocery store shelves, half of the original iodide content is lost. Because once iodized salt is opened in your home, the iodine “sublimes” or escapes into the air in varying degrees, depending on humidity. After all that, when ingested, only 10 percent of the iodine in salt is absorbable. Then, after all that, again, women should be concerned that the “iodine” in salt is actually iodide. Iodine is preferred by the breasts, thus a combination of iodine and iodide is generally used. Also, cooking destroys iodine!

So—short answer: No, you can’t get enough iodine from iodized salt because you can’t be sure if you’re actually getting iodine—how much or what kind.

The RDA appears to be calculated from how much iodine the thyroid needs to avoid goiter. The requirements of the other organs aren’t factored into the number. Additionally, the effect of iodine-blocking polluters was never considered when 150 mcg was established.

Iodine and Thyroid

Iodine supports thyroid function. Every cell in the body depends upon thyroid hormones for regulation of their metabolism and thyroid hormone depends on Iodine. The function of the thyroid gland is to take iodine, and convert it into thyroid hormones: T4 and T3

Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body which can absorb iodine. These cells combine iodine to make T3 and T4. T3 and T4 are then released into the blood stream and are transported throughout the body where they control metabolism (conversion of oxygen and calories to energy).

Iodine is an essential mineral commonly found in sea foods. The human body cannot produce iodine, which is why it is important to include iodine-rich foods in the diet.Your thyroid gland uses it to make thyroid hormones, which help control growth, repair damaged cells and support a healthy metabolism.Unfortunately, up to a third of people worldwide are at risk of an iodine deficiency.

Those at the highest risk include-People who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. An iodine deficiency can cause uncomfortable and even severe symptoms. They include depression,fatiguness and low energy,hair loss, diabetes, low libido, breast cancer, brain fog, pregnancy-related issues, weight gain and learning difficulties. Since iodine is used to make thyroid hormones, an iodine deficiency means your body can’t make enough of them, leading to hypothyroidism.

Signs and symptoms of Iodine deficiency-

• Reduced thyroid hormone production and hypothyroidism
• Goiter (enlarged thyroid gland)
• Intellectual disability
• Abnormal weight gain
• Decreased fertility
• Brain fog
• Decreased libido
• Fatigue and low energy
• Constipation
• Depression
• Stunted infant growth

“When I was a young student, iodine and potassium iodine were a universal medicine. Nobody knew how they worked, but we knew it worked exceptionally well”.

-Dr Albert Szent Gyorgyi (Nobel laureate who discovered Vitamin C)
