WHAT DOES IODINE DO?

There are many ways Iodine deficiencies affect our health…LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT A FEW OF THEM.

SUPERCHARGES ENERGY PRODUCTION AND FIRES-UP METABOLISM

• Iodine is required to synthesize hormones. These hormones regulate metabolism, oxygenation and energy production. When we are iodine deficient we can feel sluggish and lack energy.
• Patients taking t hormones may also need to take an iodine supplement because all the cells of the body uses iodine and td hormone can increase the body’s need for iodine. Disorders that involve iodine deficiencies may worsen or become more prevalent such as the incidence of breast, prostate and  cancers when taking  hormone and being iodine deficient.

EASIER WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

• Iodine helps prevent metabolic and helps maintain a healthier weight and energy level. Iodine can fire up the metabolism so it can be much easier to burn calories.  It does this primarily because of iodine is essential to produce hormones.  When we are iodine deficient  hormones can’t be produced normally.

HORMONE BALANCE AND CANCER

• Iodine promotes hormone balance and production of all the body’s hormones – NOT JUST T HORMONES. Balance is key for disease prevention, as well as an overall sense of well-being.
• Iodine helps regulate hormone production and balance estrogen production in the ovaries in females and adrenal tissues in men that can stimulate the development and progression of hormone-related cancers such as breast, ovarian, uterine, cervical and prostate cancers.
• Estrogen Dominance in BOTH Men and Women is Dramatically Increased in Iodine-Deficient, Hypot States. Estrogen dominance also appears to be a significant risk factor in the development of hormone-related cancers.
• Incidence of Hormone-Related Cancers – Breast, ovarian, uterine prostate, cervical cancers, as well as stomach, lung, esophagus,  and throat cancers are Markedly increased in Iodine-Deficient patients.
• Incidence of Goiter (enlargement of the tgland because of iodine deficiencies) and breast and prostate cancer have a direct relationship. Two studies done in Iceland and Japan – populations with high Iodine intake – have a much lower incidence of breast and prostate cancer and goiter compared to other populations.
• Iodine helps prevent Fibrocystic breast diseases and is used successfully to treat fibrocystic diseases such as uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts.

CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

• Iodine supplementation can reduce the amount of circulating cholesterol naturally by helping to address one of the underlying causes of high-cholesterol – hormone imbalances and deficiencies (cholesterol is the precursor to sex steroidal hormones and adrenal hormones)
• Iodine sufficiency can help prevent or alleviate symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome starting with the Hallmark Hypot. Clinical studies show a direct correlation between iodine deficiency and the cascade of other diseases related to Metabolic Syndrome such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM

• Iodine destroys viruses, bacteria, pathogens, molds, fungi, parasites and malaria on contact.
• Iodine helps prevent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs).
• Iodine helps prevent and treats H. pylori – a bacterial infection of the stomach which has been connected with ulcers and gastric cancer.

MENTAL FOCUS, CLARITY AND MEMORY

• Pregnant women who had higher Iodine levels showed a decrease in SIDS, and a higher childhood survival rate.
• Iodine helps make us smarter. It promotes sharp-thinking, mental focus, cognitive functioning, and helps eliminate brain fog in adults.

NORMAL FETAL AND CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT

• Iodine makes children smarter. Iodine is essential for normal growth and development of children. Pregnant women who are Iodine deficient have children with greater risk of mental development issues. A study showed a 15 point reduction in children’s IQs when pregnant women are Iodine deficient.
• Iodine helps support proper fetal development and growth along with speech and hearing development.
• The percentage of pregnant women with iodine deficiency increased 690% between NHANES I (1974) and NHANES II (2000) Studies. A low maternal iodine level in fetal development has been associated with higher levels of cretinism, mental retardation, autism, ADD, SIDS, ALS and other Myelin disorders.

PREGNANCY AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

• Adequate iodine levels can also be important in the treatment of infertility because it is essential for healthy hormone balance.
• Pregnant women who have adequate iodine are also less likely to experience high blood pressure during pregnancy.
• Iodine can help prevent and treat endometriosis, uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts often related to hormonal imbalance and dysfunction.

FIBROMYALGIA AND MIGRAINE

• Iodine helps reduce fibromyalgia symptoms
• Iodine supplementation helps resolve migraine headaches and other types of chronic headaches for many patients

HEAVY METAL AND HALIDE DETOXIFICATION

• Adequate iodine levels reduce the amount of halide toxicity in the body from Fluoride (water), Chlorine (water) and bromine (bread preservatives and flame retardants in most carpets).
•  
• Iodine helps prevent lead from being stored in the body and other metals.

RADIOACTIVITY PROTECTION

• Iodine helps prevent effects of radiation exposure from the use of cordless phones and cell phones.
• Normal iodine levels can protect the nd the rest of the body from radioactivity generated by nuclear accidents such as the radiation drift from the Fukushima disaster that crossed the Pacific and is detected on the US Mainland.

HEALTHY NAILS, HAIR AND TEETH

• Iodine is essential in formation of healthy skin, teeth and shiny hair.
• Iodine deficiency results in hair loss, which is also due to teficiencies.
• Iodine supports hair growth and follicle strength.

A BRIEF HISTORY

IODINE HAS BEEN USED BY MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS FOR 200 YEARS AND WAS ONCE CONSIDERED THE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE. It has only fallen by the wayside in the past 50 years. Iodine was shown to be able to treat goiter early 1900’s – a common problem away from the coasts where people typically have significant Iodine deficiencies.

In Michigan and Ohio, studies conducted in the early 1920’s on school children showed 40% had enlargement of t gland or goiter. It was found that treatment with just a small amount of Iodine caused goiters to go away. And, by 1928, there was % reduction in goiter in the area.

Adding iodine to table salt was a result of these studies

But, Goiters are still around today. And, iodine is used throughout the body – not just the t
