Iodine is VERY important. Without iodine nothing else works as well as it should.
Iodine is food for your thyroid
Your body takes iodine and turns it into the hormone called T4 which then becomes the useful hormone T3.
T3 is the spark that turns on your metabolism. It is the heater. That is why the Chinese say the thyroid is on the Triple Heater meridian.
· The fact is that without enough iodine your metabolism will be slow.
· People with low iodine are often cold, tired, overweight and they lose their hair.
· The thyroid may not be the problem, it just might be STARVING.
There are several possible problems with the thyroid:
1) It could be starving for thyroid food. Iodine is thyroid food.
2) It is filled with toxins. In this case you use a thyroid detoxifier.
3) It could be wearing down, in this case you use a thyroid protomophagin.
4) You might be making enough thyroid hormone but it doesn’t convert into the useable form. In this case you need other minerals like rubidium and selenium
5) Your body may be attacking itself which is auto immune.
From a probability standpoint try iodine first. It has a much higher probability of being the problem than the others mentioned above. We simply do not have enough iodine in our diets. It is difficult to get enough. The iodine in salt is junk
Every cell in the body needs iodine.
· Most people relate iodine to the thyroid but do you know that the liver also makes iodine?
· Also there is more iodine in the breast than anywhere else in the body including the thyroid.
If you have a cell in the body that needs iodine but you do not have enough iodine then something else will fill that cite. The problem is that the other things that will fill it are very toxic.
· Fluoride- Very destructive to anything it touches
· Bromines- Cancer causing chemical found in baked goods
· Heavy metal Toxic on so many levels
However if your receptor cytes for iodine is filled with IODINE then these other toxins can’t get in. This is how iodine keeps harmful toxins out of the body.
Your immune system will not work well without iodine
· This is because if you can’t generate heat you can’t kill bacteria or viruses no matter which herbs or drugs you take.
The right type of iodine is important
· I use iodine tablets that are part iodine and potassium iodide. Why you ask? Because that is the iodine that I notices gets cold people to become warm. I have tried many. This type of formulae has been around for centuries. This is what they used in the 1800s for thyroid problems. In my humble opinion the Big Pharms does not want you to know about this because they want to sell you hormones.
· I have seen Atomic Iodine do a good job as well. It is another very absorbable form of iodine. This is a very good liquid form of iodine.
· Kelp: Does not have enough iodine in it and is often toxic with metal. So you must be careful where you get it. Personally I never use it.
My doctor said there enough iodine in thyroid medication?
· Then why are you still cold and tired and losing your hair? I have given iodine to many people who are on medication and most of them feel so much better.
How much iodine should I take?
· I often use between 25 mg and 50 mg of tables that combine iodine and potassium iodide. I tell people to take enough so that you are not cold.
With Atomic iodine I test in a similar way.
· How much so that you are not cold. I also use kinesiology to test. This can be very individual.
If you order iodine from me I will be happy to have a conversation with you and help you find the right type and amount of iodine for you.
