The Power of Iodine

#PowerOfIodine

Where many essentials are building blocks like bricks in a house, Iodine is the architect’s plan for the human body. It tells the body, organs, and cells how to use those nutrients. Iodine is essential for the proper formation of our DNA. It makes the longest, most complex compounds yet discovered in the universe.

Iodine
Humans come from the sea, and when we are disconnected from the ocean, sickness is sure to follow.  Iodine is a tool for the human body, and to use a tool properly it's important to know how it works.  I don’t want to be cutting the grass of my lawn with a lawnmower barefooted, do I?

Toxins
Iodine moves toxins, and when we move any toxins around inside our body, it's extremely important that our detox pathways are open.  The toxins need to be dispelled, and not just redistributed.  To jump start your system, and get the bowels running properly, dump your current poisonous load of bile with the Epsom Flush — Reduce Your Toxic Load

Apoptosis is programmed cell death.  Iodine orders cells to die when it’s time for them to go.  The developing baby in the womb has webbed fingers and toes, until iodine steps in and orders this webbing to disintegrate.  Iodine stimulates dormant hair follicles, and replaces old scars with new skin.

Iodine is a most essential element for the developing baby. The best way for a baby to get iodine is from mom's breast milk.

Bacteria – Iodine kills single celled bacteria on contact.  It destroys topical fungus.  Iodine can be applied topically or taken internally with liquid.

Disinfectant – Iodine disinfects dirty water at 20 drops per gallon.

Radiation – When we are filled up with iodine, our thyroids will be safe from radiation.  We are much less likely to be poisoned by heavy metals or halogens if we have sufficient iodine in our systems, because those heavy metals can not sit down on iodine receptor sites if iodine is already there. This is the reason people are directed to take Iodide (a form of Iodine) after a radiation accident.
Thyroid Protection From Radiation

Iodized Salt
Iodine comes from the sea, and not from glacial waters.  In the middle ages entire villages of cretins were being discovered in the Swiss Alps.  In the 1920's, 50% of the children in and around the Great Lakes Region
had goiters, a visible swelling of the thyroid gland in their necks.  This is the reason iodized salt was introduced in 1926 as a healthcare intervention. 
However, the U.S. RDA of 150mcg is just barely enough to prevent us from having a visible goiter.  150mcg is the amount of iodine we need to stay alive.  150mcg of iodine prevents us from being visibly sick, but allows the healthcare industry to continue profiting by treating iodine deficiencies.

Thyroid
Thyroid hormones are the directions for our metabolic processes.  Without iodine there is no management of our body. The body is not properly directed to kill bad bacteria, and to properly grow and develop.

70% of the weight of a thyroid hormone is iodine.  The number 3 in T3, and the number 4 in T4 hormones represent the number of iodine molecules in that hormone!  

Master Planner
I like using the metaphor of our bodies as a brick building.  Calcium and iron would represent the bricks in the building.  Most of us have plenty of those elements.  However, without mortar between the bricks, the building will be crumbly, and unstable.  Let’s consider magnesium as the mortar between those bricks, it gives our bones strength and is the element our mitochondria powerhouses need to run their functions. Sulfur is our sanitation department and maintainer of our connective tissues.
Iodine is the architects plans for the building, and the manager of our processes.   It determines where the walls go, when the garbage goes out, and what goes in the rooms.  Without iodine, your body's maintenance staff is out to lunch, or worse, out on strike.

Emergencies
Keep a bottle of Lugol's Iodine available for emergencies, the healthcare industry does.  The healthcare system has dream like sci-fi capabilities when it comes to emergency treatments and repairs..  They are incredible at setting bones, replacing organs, growing skin, and putting on artificial limbs.  In the emergency room they use iodine as an antiseptic, and magnesium to calm the heart and body of heart attack victims.  Iodine and magnesium are essential elements. 

Seaweed
Seaweed does not have radiation, and is NOT toxic with heavy metals.  The ancient Greeks treated goiters with seaweed wraps.  Seaweed is loaded with iodine.
 
Oolichan
The First Nations people of the Pacific Coast of North America carried a fish named Oolichan over the Rocky Mountains into the landlocked interior for more than 6000 years.  Our ancestors all over the world knew their brethren needed this fish, they may not have known the fish had Iodine, but they knew it was keeping them alive. 

Garum
The Greeks and Romans traded pickled fish called Garum.  This was a huge industry, and kept their legions fortified inside the landlocked states

Japan
Has one of the lowest incidences in the world of cancers of the thyroid, ovaries and prostate.  It is estimated by some that the average Japanese has 13.5 mg of daily iodine, this is almost 90 times the U.S. RDA of 150mcg.  The average Japanese person eats seaweed every day.

Lugol's Iodine
In addition to eating seaweed, and small ocean fish like anchovies and sardines, I recommend supplementing with Lugol's Iodine.  It's the same formula for the past 190 years.  Lugol's is a formula, not a brand name,  There are many makes of the Lugol's formula that can be found on line.  I recommend the Lugol's 5% formula.

Salt Loading Protocol
When supplementing with Lugol's Iodine, it's important that you are getting enough salt, NaCL, that is sodium chloride for your body to optimally function. Sodium is the 9th most common element in the body, and Chloride is the 10th most common element.

Halogens
SThere are four halogens, and they are Bromine, Chlorine, Fluoride, and Iodine. If we are deficient in Iodine, these other halogens can sit down in place of iodine in the thyroid and other sensitive areas in our bodies.

Toxins
Iodine moves toxins, and when we move any toxins around inside our body, it's extremely important that our detox pathways are open.  The toxins need to be dispelled, and not just redistributed.  The bowels need to be running properly, dumping our current load of toxins before we start moving more.

Additional notes.

We can sometimes take a small dose of iodine the first couple of days starting out, feel great, decide to up the dose too quickly and then by day three or four feel like, WOW, where did that bus come from?

Watch out for the symptoms of bromine detoxification when taking iodine.  It scares many people off because they think iodine is causing the symptoms, but it’s displacement of other neurotoxins. 
http://drdavidbrownstein.blogspot.com/2010/11/epidemic-of-bromine-toxicity.html

A very common symptom is to develop a bromide rash as the bromine leaves the body.  Bromine is not just stored in the thyroid, it can be stored in other organs including the kidneys, lymph system and sweat glands.  Bromine is still a main ingredient in most cold medicines.  It’s listed as HBr.  Also, Alka-Seltzer was at one time called Bromo-Seltzer.
