IODINE - What they DON'T tell us about this MIRACLE nutrient! UNBELIEVABLE!

Have not read all of this post and its replies yet,just want to add DSMO to the list. Read the book DSMO NATURES HEALER by Dr walker Morton.This stuff has incredible healing properties for a very wide and diverse range of ailments.It is shameful that in this day and age these alternatives are not available for the benefit of the species.

is this good enough???????????? Thanks!

Absolutely NOT! The RDA for Iodine is about 150 mcg's that is only enough to keep you from getting a goiter. There are iodine receptors in every cell of the body. Please take the time to look over all the other posts on this thread to learn all that Iodine does for the body!

Thanks to another OP...I Found this on another thread and thought I'd post it here because this thread is the one that has the most info on Iodine.

Iodine the misunderstood nutrient!

Forgot to mention that this video is presented by Dr. Brownstein (Iodine expert) from the "Iodine Project".

This is such a good topic and such a good thread, thanks for all the contributions.

Great Info !!!

Because of it's importance!

Plenty of iodine in sea salt too.

>inb4 there are different types of "Iodine"

Bumping to find later when more time toread!

that is why salt is iodized. You sprinkle iodine on everything you eat. Before that, people were dropping dead.

Why?

Because humans are coastal animals. The only way you can live away from the ocean, is to literally sprinkle salt on everything you eat.

Great thread. Americans need to know this shlt! Take your iodine tablets! It's good for you.

Great info

Some more info ... Iodine for the win



1. Iodine is found in every cell in the body and the thyroid is only one of the organs in the body that stores iodine. The mammary glands store even more iodine than the thyroid. Research being done by the Iodine Project is finding that women with breast cancer and fibrocystic breast disease are all iodine deficient. There are also strong connections between iodine deficiency and ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids. A study in Italy followed 26 pregnancies and children over 10 years and found that 11 of 16 children from iodine deficient area were diagnosed ADHD and each mother was iodine deficient during pregnancy. (None of the 11 children born in the iodine sufficient area had ADHD.) The thyroid's demonstration of an iodine deficiency by swelling (goiter) is a symptom known for well over a century. Goiter had been successfully treated with iodine therapy since the 1800's. Then in about 1948 a couple of scientists did a study and reported some misled and unsupported conclusions that sent iodine therapies for humans into oblivion. They sparked iodophobia within the world that may have caused the destruction to our health that is manifesting in many of our modern ailments and diseases.

2. "Today, iodine deficiencies in the United States and other developed countries are rare because table salt is supplemented with iodine and crops in developed countries are generally grown in iodine-rich soil. In developing countries, however, where soil is often low in iodine, more than one billion people are estimated to be at risk for disorders caused by iodine deficiencies."

This statement is inaccurate. The soil of the Great Lakes region of the US is extremely iodine-deficient and has been since the last glacier melted. The Great Lakes region is referred to as the "Goiter Bel." The population living there may have fewer goiters now, and the iodization of the table salt may have played a role, but so did the iodine used in the flour that made their bread and the iodine used to wash the dairy cow's udders. But the iodophobia that struck after WWII and the use of the competing, opportunistic, toxic halides--fluorine, chlorine, and bromine--in iodine's place is destroying our health. Iodized table salt remains on our grocers' shelves, but less than half of the population buys iodized salt, and the salt they are buying contains other harmful chemicals used in the processing of the salt. The iodine in bread has been replaced by bromine which is toxic to our bodies. We fluoridate and chlorinate our drinking water, both toxic, competing halides that will readily take over iodine's receptors in our bodies--but they don't do iodine's job!

Did you know that studies--several, good, strong studies--have been done around the world comparing the number of dental problems in the populations of fluoridated water communities to those of non-fluoridated communities and the studies show NO DIFFENENCES! Fluoride in your drinking water is not helping to ensure that you have fewer cavities, in fact, about only thing it might be doing for you is weakening your bones as it replaces the calcium in the structure. Think of that when your hip breaks!

Did you know that bromine is found in your bread, your soda pop, your mattress, your upholstery, your computer, your car, in the chemicals applied to your food supply, and in the chemicals you spray around your home to kill bugs?

Found this on an older thread. Haven't checked it out completely yet but looks like a good pdf on Iodine.

started taking kelp tablets three weeks ago, as well as a good vitamin for women from GNC. Feel a lot better. I have fibro. breast disease, and the tumors are shrinking now! Got this during my last trimester when pregnant 2.5 yrs ago. Glad it is finally starting to get better, thanks to no doctors, who just said well a lot of women have it, nothing you can do.... Read this post or another one here on Glp, went out a few weeks ago and bought kelp tablets after reading, best thing I have done this year. Thank you GLP users!!

Nice one OP! Thanks for the info

Bump for the afternoon group. Info tooo important and must share.

I've been taking iodine every day for 3 years. Either 2 drops of tincture of iodine or 1 drop of providone iodine well mixed in 16 ounces of water. Doing great.

It's not a good idea to base your iodine intake according to how much salt you eat. Better to use iodine free and supplement with a kelp table each day. The bottle I have says not to exceed the recommended dosage.

The mainstream media (MSM) has been saying that if you take any iodine or potassium iodide products, you will stop you body's ability to produce its own iodine, so give this anonymous guy or gal a break. We are all being lied to. Next, the MSM will tell us radiation is nutritious.

Wow, your post makes mine look fbeele. More power to you!

Because there are always new readers who need this info.

I suggest you do your homework.



Excerpt:

Also, the table salt iodine evaporates very quickly. In most cases you are getting no iodine at all for your "iodized" salt.

Here in Spain you will get table-salt with iodine AND flour, which means you will not get any iodine because the flour is "stronger", most people are not aware of that

About 73 MICROGRAMS of the RDA of 150 mg in about 2.5 GRAMS of salt. Not plenty.
