Medical textbooks contain several vital pieces of misinformationabout the essential element Iodine, which may have caused more human misery and death than both world wars combined. Dr. Guy Abraham

It has become increasingly clear that the majority of humans are suffering from chronic poisoning. Aware or not, we are exposed daily to radiation, fluorine, chlorine and bromine chemicals, that are found in many of our foods, soft drinks, toothpastes, pools, water, air (chemtrails) and household chemicals. These chemicals and heavy metals accumulate in our body interfering with our neurological system, thyroid function, the endocrine glandular system, and also cause calcification of our pineal gland (aka third eye) lowering our IQ.

When we are iodine deficient our iodine receptor sites will take in it’s halide mimickers -fluorine, bromine and chlorine.

Healthy levels of iodine detoxify the body of these toxic halide mimickers and, along with proper diet, assist our cells in the uptake of proper nutrients and minerals. Iodine is used by every organ and tissue in the body. It is absolutely necessary for healthy cognitive abilities, thyroid as well as healthy ovaries, breasts and prostate. These are just a few of the reasons to become interested in iodine.

Iodine has bactericidal activity, e.g. a 1% tincture will kill 90% of bacteria in 90 seconds, a 5% tincture in 60 seconds and a 7% tincture in 15 seconds.

In an age of increasing toxic exposures we all need more, not less iodine because it has very specific protective effects against several common poisons like fluoride, bromide, and to a lesser extent it helps eliminate aluminum, lead and mercury from the body. Dr. Sebastiano Venturi, in Evolution of Dietary Antioxidants: Role of Iodine, makes it clear that iodine is a crucial antioxidant and apoptosis-inductor with anti-tumoral and anti-atherosclerotic activity.

When we supplement with iodine we will see increased antioxidant activity and immune system function. Mark Sircus Ac., OMD

Iodine is an “essential” primary mineral and those who are deficient in it suffer from a wide variety of afflictions. Iodine used to be considered much more important and, up until 40 years ago, it had been routinely added to all our baked goods and table salt as a supplement. In addition todays research presently shows that our soils and vegetation are depleted of iodine resulting 96% of all Americans as iodine deficient. The Governments RDD of iodine is 150mcg which is a far cry from the Japanese daily diet of 13,800mcg which statistics show that they have the lowest rates of cancer and one of the highest IQ’s in the world.

Iodine deficiency is a major cause of under-functioning intellect. Dr. Flechas agrees, In newborn children iodine is responsible for the development of the babies’ I.Q. Recent research shows iodine deficiency is felt to be the source of ADD and ADHD in children.

We have an absolute epidemic of Autism in this country, said Representative Dan Burton. Iodine and magnesium logically should be some of the first things parents should reach for before, during and after pregnancy.

Iodine usage from seaweed can be found as far back as 3600BC China. First discovered by French chemist Bernard Courtois in 1811, Iodine received the name “iode”, from the Greek word ιώδες (iodes) for violet (because of the color of iodine vapor). It has been successfully used throughout history to treat a variety of health issues: 1860 Dr. Rowen, Dr. Condet (goiter), 1900’s Sunkar Bisey and Dr. Regnault (malaria), 1920’s Dr. Marine and Edgar Cayce (goiter).

Iodine is utilized by every hormone receptor in the body.The absence of iodine causes a hormonal dysfunction thatcan be seen with practically every hormone inside the body.

Why? Because of the absence of iodine from our diet we are allowing these halide mimickers we are exposed to daily, calcify our pineal gland, causing us to become more docile, alter our perception of reality, diminish our will, all resulting in an overall lower IQ and lower vitality.  The pineal along with the pituitary gland are the master glands of the endocrine system. When calcified this gland that is responsible for hormonal secretions, neurotransmitters, melatonin, serotonin and DMT does not function accordingly. Now we can see a clearer picture as to why our water is fluoridated, why all SSRI’s have either fluoride or bromide as an active ingredient. Might I also add that fluoride can be found as the active ingredient in rat poison, insecticides, pesticides, antibiotics and toothpaste.

If we are iodine deficient, our intellect, energy and vitality are all compromised and we are significantly more vulnerable to cognitive disabilities, thyroid malfunction, endocrine/hormonal imbalances, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer.

Healthy levels of iodine help the body detox toxic build up of chemicals and assist the body to reactivate its self healing mechanism.
