Iodine is a very important mineral that was first discovered in kelp (seaweed) in 1812. It was extracted and named "iodine" because of its violet color, "ion" being Greek for violet.
Iodine is a naturally occurring substance, occurring naturally and is a crucial part of the thyroid hormones that monitor our energy levels. Iodine actually nourishes the thyroid gland. It is food for this gland.
Iodine, though essential, is only needed in trace amounts.
Organic Iodine (Iodine Phosphate) is beneficial for the following: normalizing and regulating metabolism, relieving pain of fibrocystic breasts, protecting against toxic effects from radioactive materials, acting as a natural antiseptic; helps to metabolize excess fat, is important for physical and mental development, and optimal health and well-being of the thyroid gland.
Iodine deficiency symptoms include goiter, hypothyroidism (which causes chronic fatigue, apathy, dry skin, intolerance to cold, weight gain, and thyroid enlargement); weight fluctuations (especially weight gain), and swollen salivary glands to name a few symptoms.
In addition to the above, Iodine deficiency has been linked to breast cancer in women.
In children, Iodine deficiency may result in mental retardation.
In pregnant women, Iodine deficiency could result in the child being born affected by dwarfism (or cretinism) also known as neonatal hypothyroidism. It is imperative that pregnant women take adequate amounts of organic Iodine, e.g. 3 capsules once or twice daily.
It is reported that one out of fifty pregnant women is diagnosed with hypothyroidism during pregnancy. Also, six out of every one hundred miscarriages are associated with thyroid hormone deficiency during pregnancy.
While Iodine is found in seaweed, a natural source of the mineral, most table salt (e.g. Morton's) is fortified with synthetic Iodine. Just like white table salt, synthetic Iodine is an inorganic substance and therefore cannot be digested, absorbed, and assimilated by the body. Because white table salt is a major toxin and highly poisonous, so is the Iodine used in white table salt. When in the body, the body will try and digest, absorb, and assimilate this mineral; however, creating serious health problems in the process due to attempting to process something unnatural. This can be prevented by making sure the body is given what it is needed to ensure optimal health and well-being: organic nutrition.
Synthetic Iodine should be avoided at all costs. High does of inorganic Iodine may aggravate acne and interfere with hormone activity. Many pharmaceutical grade brands of Iodine contain radioactive tracers that go to the thyroid gland and kill the organ, which is senseless. Why would you kill a gland or organ because it is diseased? Why would you purposefully cause radiation poisoning?
Western medical pharmacists know these drugs with radioactive tracers are harmful (emit radiation and cause radiation poisoning) which is why they also prescribe Potassium Iodide to offset the effect of the radioactive tracers in certain thyroid drugs.
It is reported that 20 million Americans suffer with Thyroid Disease. However, most of these 20 million individuals don't know they have the disease.
Hypothyroidism adversely affects some 11 million Americans according to statistics. It is reported that 1 out of 5 women over the age 75 have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the most common form of hypothyroidism, which is basically "inflammation of the thyroid gland."
Many people with thyroid disorders have been prescribed synthetic and toxic Synthroid and are unwisely taking this toxic substance.
Synthroid is a poison and cannot help the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is not made up of Synthroid, a man-made drug. The thyroid gland is chiefly comprised of Iodine and thus requires this element to repair it when damaged via disease.
Natural food sources of Iodine include: garlic, asparagus, lima beans, mushrooms, sesame seeds, spinach, turnip greens, Swiss chard, summer squash, and soybeans to name a few.
Herbs containing Iodine include: Irish Moss, Iceland Moss, Blue-Green Algae, Bladderwrack (Sea Wrack), Dulse, Kelp, Red Marine Algae, Chlorella, Spirulina; White Oat Bark, Red Raspberry Leaf, and Black Walnut Hulls.
Seaweed sources of Iodine (which are the best and richest source) are great natural galactagogues, meaning they are helpful in increasing and enhancing the production and secretion of mother's (breast) milk.
