After testing over 500 patients, I found that 94.7%
of my patients are deficient in inorganic iodine.
Dr. David Brownstein
Lack of iodine is widespread in the western world 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.Forty years ago the food industry decided to remove iodine from baked goods and replace the iodine with bromine. Iodine therapy helps the body eliminate fluoride, bromine, lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminium and mercury. Could this substitution of bromine for iodine have been carried out to increase diseases and thus create more need for pharmaceutical drugs?
I was tested and found to be critically low in Iodine !
Every cell in your body requires Iodine, your immune system cannot function correctly without it, Iodine is also responsible for the architectural tissue structure for the Breast, Ovaries, Uterus, Prostate and Glands so vital for all of us and especially for females.
Other problems caused by iodine deficiency are:
Under activity of the thyroid gland which results in fatigue.
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 Hashimoto’s 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.
Several human organs need iodine but can not 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 can also heal ovarian cysts and works well on skin cysts when rubbed over the cyst.
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)
Lipoprotein (a) - This dangerous substance is quite important as it produces plaques in arteries - high levels of lipoprotiens can be reversed with Iodine treatment.
Iodine is found in large quantities in the brain, a lack of iodine may be involved in the development of dementia. Alzehimers is caused by the build up of Lipoproteins(sticky fatty deposits) which prevent the nerve cells in the brain from communicating with each other, eventually they die causing the brain to shrink rapidly, high levels of lipoprotiens can be reversed with Iodine treatment.
Iodine is found in large quantities in the ciliary body of the eye. Lack of iodine may be involved in production of glaucoma.
Other Health Problems Iodine has proven value in treating headaches, keloids, and parotid duct stones.
How Can Iodine Deficiency Be Detected?
It can be detected in a urine test or with a simple method of buying some Lugols liquid Iodine (link below) rub two drops into each of your wrists just before going to bed, the skin on your wrist will have yellow/gold patch .Overall, the faster the body draws in the iodine, the greater the iodine need is likely to be.
1. Patch begins to slightly lighten after 24 hours – NORMAL
2. Patch disappears, or almost disappears in 18-24 hours – MILD
3. Patch disappears, or almost disappears in 12-18 hours – MODERATE
4. Patch disappears, or almost disappears in 6-12 hours – SEVERE
5. Patch disappears, or almost disappears in under 6 hours – VERY SEVERE
time for action !
Dosage to Correct Deficiency
If deficient Dr. Abrahams recommends taking a 'loading dose' of 50 mg of Iodine daily for '3 months' this dose should then be gradually reduced to the 12.5 mg as daily maintenance dose.
Prominent thyroid researcher, Dr. Benjamin Eskin, has shown that the thyroid gland and skin prefer to the concentrate iodide form of iodine while the breasts concentrate iodine. His research suggested that the body needs both the iodide and iodine form of iodine.
As a result and to cover all bases I have followed the following protocol to fully load my body.
Daily Protocol - (I avoid taking these at night as it can disturb sleep, so take during the day)
