Iodine, Vital for Good Health

By Dr. James Howenstine, MD. November 5, 2005 NewsWithViews.com Lack of iodine is widespread in the United States today. For many years iodine was added to bread in generous quantities which prevented iodine deficiency. Each slice of bread contained 150 mcg. of iodine filling the whole days RDA of iodine. In 1960 the average diet consumed about 1 mg. of iodine daily with bakery products accounting for about 75 % of the total. This quantity of iodine was enough to decrease the thyroid glands ability to absorb radioactive iodine and it was also sufficient to prevent excess release of thyroid hormone thus preventing many cases of hyperthyroidism (Graves Disease). Forty years ago the food industry decided to remove iodine from baked goods and replace the iodine with bromine. Iodine and bromine appear similar to the thyroid gland and bromine easily binds to the thyroid glands receptors for iodine. Bromine, however, is of no value to the thyroid gland unlike iodine and it inhibits the activity of iodine in the thyroid gland. Bromine also can cause impaired thinking and memory, drowsiness, dizziness and irritability. This substitution of bromine for iodine has resulted in nearly universal deficiency of iodine in the American populace. Iodine therapy helps the body eliminate fluoride, bromine, lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum and mercury. Could this substitution of bromine for iodine have been carried out to increase diseases and thus create more need for pharmaceutical drugs? Problems caused by iodine deficiency are: Underactive thyroid gland produces fatigue. In rodents iodine deficiency leads to abnormal pituitary-adrenal function. The adrenal gland provides energy and stamina. When iodine no longer binds to thyroid cell membranes enzymes called peroxidases are able to damage these membranes and produce autoimmune diseases such as Hashimotos thyroiditis and Hyperthyroidism (Graves Disease). Researcher Dr. Guy Abraham has observed several cases of thyroiditis and hyperthyroidism that have been corrected by the simple replacement of iodine. For more than 100 years high doses of iodine have been known to benefit both underactive (hypothyroidism) thyroid gland and an overactive of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism). Iodine

At the Intl. Sports Medicine Institute, we have a formula for daily water intake: 1/2 ounce per pound of body weight if you're not active, and 2/3 ounce per pound if you're athletic. By Leroy R. Perry, Jr.

What to Look for in a Dietary Supplement: Whole food The body recognizes whole foods and can readily assimilate and utilize them. Synthetic nutrients formulated in a lab lack the full spectrum of naturally occurring phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids and other micronutrients. The lack of these co-factors limits absorption, increases the risk of toxicity and can even cause secondary nutrient deficiencies. Liquid form When a whole food dietary supplement is in a liquid, ionic solution, up to 98% of the nutrients are available for absorption and utilization by the body. Vitamins and minerals in pill form may be only 10% to 20% absorbable (1996 Physicians Desk Ref., pg 1542). Natural and complete Sea vegetables are the most mineralrich plants on earth. They contain more vitamins and minerals than any form of land vegetation. Sea water contains mineral ratios that are remarkably similar to blood plasma. Sea plants pre-digest and concentrate this balanced source of minerals into a highly bioavailable ionic state.

therapy allows the sluggish thyroid gland to resume normal production of thyroid hormone leading to resolution of hypothyroidism. Provision of iodine stops the peroxidase injury to the thyroid membranes in hyperthyroidism which permits hyperthyroidism to resolve. Thus thyroid surgery for hyperthyroidism is no longer necessary. Several human organs need iodine but cannot absorb it until blood iodine levels reach high values (stomach, salivary glands). Most persons exhibit impaired production of stomach acid as they age. This impaired capability to produce adequate stomach acid may be a result of iodine deficiency as iodine promotes stomach acidity. Resolution of cysts Iodine therapy resolves nearly every case of breast cysts. This treatment also can heal ovarian cysts and works well on skin cysts when rubbed over the cyst. Iodine is found in large quantities in the brain and the ciliary body of the eye. Lack of iodine may be involved in production of Parkinsons disease and glaucoma. Lipoprotein, a dangerous substance is quite important as it produces plaques in arteries because it is very sticky and collects platelets, calcium and fibrin from the blood circulating inside our arteries. Excessive clotting and vascular disease resulting from high levels of lipoprotein (a) can be reversed by iodine treatment. Other Health Problems Iodine has proven value in treating headaches, keloids, and salivary duct stones.

Endocrine Cancers And Iodine Stores Iodine deficiency is a recognized risk factor in the development of cancer of the breast, prostate, and probably the ovary and endometrium. Breast cancer is twice as common (12.1 %) in women taking natural thyroid hormone or synthetic thyroid hormone as in women not taking thyroid hormones (6.2 %). The risk for breast cancer in women taking thyroid hormones increases with time. Women who had taken thyroid hormone for 15 years had a 19.5 % incidence of breast cancer while women who had been on thyroid hormone therapy for five years had only a 10 % incidence of breast cancer. This increase in breast cancer with time suggests that correction of a iodine deficiency might well eliminate the need for thyroid hormone and would also lower the incidence of breast cancer. Japanese women, who are eating lots of seaweed, have the highest iodine intake (13.8 mg. daily) of women anywhere in the world. They also have the lowest incidence of breast cancer in the world. Japan has one of the lowest worldwide rates of every type of cancer with the exception of stomach cancer. In addition Japan has one of the lowest incidences of iodine deficiency, goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), and hypothyroidism. Iceland, another high iodine intake country, has low rates of goiter and breast cancer. Two countries with low iodine intakes (Thailand, Mexico) have high rates of breast cancer and goiter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sea vegetables are the very highest source of naturally occurring iodine -- in fact the amount is so high that it nearly reaches the upper limit of what is recommended each day. The upper limit of iodine suggested for adults is about 1,100 mcg per day, says the website The Worlds Healthiest Foods. A small amount of a marine vegetable known as kelp contains more than 200 percent of the daily recommended intake. Another marine vegetable known as seaweed contains more than 400 percent of an adult's suggested daily iodine intake per 1/4 ounce dried, with 4,500 mcg.

"Liquid Organic Product" HAS SAVED MY LIFE!

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Auto Immune Deficiency Fibromyalgia Raynauds Irritable Bowel Syndrome

William J. Saccoman, M.D. I have used these products on over 18 thousand patients ranging in age from two months to ninety two years. I recommend these products to all my patients regardless of the reason for their visits, because they promote wellness and enhance the auto immune system at all stages of life.

Here's my story in short. Before I started taking Body Balance I was on multiple prescription medications for life. I have CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome w/Auto Immune Deficiency) , FMS (Fibromyalgia), Raynauds (sensitive to changes in Temperature), IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and a whole list of other health issues. In 1997 I was in a car accident and needed a knee replacement. I was 35 years young at the time, (I just turned 48 years in Dec 2009). After several knee surgeries I finally got a Total Knee Replacement and thought that was the end of my pain and suffering. I was wrong, that's when all my problems started. Life changing health issues for LIFE. I was on many drugs for pain, muscle ache, back spasms, intestinal issues, GERD (acid reflux), sleep issues including napping daily and insomnia at night. . . total exhaustion with extreme fatigue and poor stamina. I suffered from Chronic : Bronchitis, Sinusitis, Headaches, Ear aches, Sore throats, Asthma, Swollen Parotid Glands/Lymph Nodes, Barking cough, infections that wouldn't go away despite the antibiotic regiment, which included 4 different antibiotics in a row. I also had a fever of Unknown Origin for 3 plus years that baffled all my specialists. I had been to the best Doctor's in Boston ~ Infectious Disease Doctor's, Rheumatology & Autoimmune Disorder Doctor's, ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) Specialist's, Gastroenterologists and my PCP and Orthopedic Surgeon. I tried the Chiropractic method as well, which helped me. My pain got so intense I was on Morphine Patches and was offered Oxycontin to keep the edge off the pain. This would be for LIFE ! The health problems I incurred along the way were not going away and only manifesting. So in all actuality this would be for LIFE ! Daily medications for all my symptoms for LIFE ! That is no way to live your LIFE ! After being on Morphine Patches for a few months I realized that. . . Something has to change! I knew I had to wean myself off the pain medications and just suffer my life away as this was killing me. I decided to STOP going to Regular/Specialists Doctors as they were only giving me the same answers "we can give you medication to help with the symptoms". My Family and Friends were worried sick and I thought I was going to die. Through the pain and anguish I had a dear friend tell me about Homeopathy/Holistic way of LIFE which a few of my friends practiced with their families for many years. I just didnt have an open mind about it and was trying my way first. She explained to me when your given a Remedy it takes each symptom AWAY for LIFE. My mind was open to anything at this point. I tried the Holistic Way and was grateful for the information given to me. Then my friend told me about Body Balance and how she thought it would help me with my symptoms. She changed my LIFE! I have been on "Liquid Organic Product" for four months and it has changed my LIFE ! Im gradually getting my life back, day by day. Many of my symptoms have subsided and I stopped napping. I weaned myself of most of my medications and Im so excited about this"Liquid Organic Product". . . it is Liquid Gold. I stopped taking two medications (Prilosec for Gerd/Dicyclomine for Intestinal Spasms) completely. That saves me $50.00 dollars a month for co-pays which I put towards my "Liquid Organic Product". Im now an Independent Distributor for 'Company X" and will pass the words of wisdom that have been passed to me. "Liquid Organic Product" has saved my LIFE !! Moral of the story : Listen to your FRIENDS it could save your LIFE ! ~ I have documentation to back up every illness that I have stated above Alisa McDounough
