"Iodine is the most misunderstood nutrient. After 12 years of practicing medicine, I can say that it is impossible to achieve your optimal health if you do not have adequate iodine levels. I have yet to see any item that is more important to promoting health or optimizing the fiinction of the immune system."
- Iodine Why You Need It Why You Can't Live Without It by David Brownstein MD
Some of the Benefits of Iodine:
- An antagonist to toxic halides like bromine, fluoride and chlorine derivatives (bromine is in our bread, fluoride & chlorine in our water supplies. the chemical cocktails are designed to work together, as a system of toxins) - Necessary for thyroid hormone production - Responsible for the production of all hormones in the body. It is concentrated in the glandular system (attack on overall human health and energy levels) - Necessary for proper immune fiinction - Contains potent antibacterial , anti parasitic, antiviral, and anti cancer properties - Treats fibrocystic breasts and ovarian cysts effectively (high cancer rates in women, especially attacking their reproductive and infant nurturing organs) - Elevates PH levels - Treats many conditions such as ADD, fatigue, hemorrhoids, migraines, and hypertension, just to name a few (all of these are on the rise) - Essential for the normal growth and development of children - When sufficient in the body, protects mental and intellectual abilities - Necessary for fertility (attck on reproduction) - Mobilizes fat from storage (and the media blames the public for being obese)
Sources
- Seaweed is the most abundant source of iodine because it has the ability to concentrate a large amount of iodine from the ocean. - Iodized salt is a poor choice of iodine as it is not bio available for the body. - There is a whole body need for iodine in the form of iodide and iodine.
- An Iodine Patch Test (home test-rough indicator) will aid you and your practitioner on where to start and how to titrate the dose necessary for safe replenishment. Note; there may be detoxification reactions if not properly titrated. - Iodine sufficiency takes about 3 months to achieve. - Sometimes iodine supplementation works better when magnesium and selenium (Vit E) are given along with appropriate diet changes.

Iodine may be helpful in treating other cancers because it induces apoptosis, programmed cell death. Apoptosis is essential to growth and development (fingers form in the fetus by apoptosis of the tissue between them) and for destroying cells that represent a threat to the integrity of the organism, like cancer cells and cells infected with viruses. In one experiment, human lung cancer cells with genes spliced into them that enhance iodine uptake and utilization underwent apoptosis and shrank when given iodine, both when grown in vitro outside the body and implanted in mice.10 Some practitioners predict a wider use for iodine in treating cancer.
Iodine may have other benefits - for which more study is needed. Evidence indicates that increased iodine consumption replaces and therefore helps detox other halogens, such as fluoride and bromide, and even toxic metals like lead, aluminum and mercury.11 One theory is that liberal amounts of iodine in the diet can protect against the harmful effects of fluoridated water.12 Iodine supports the immune system and protects against abnormal growth of bacteria in the stomach.13
In addition to the thyroid and mammary glands, other tissues possess an iodine pump (the sodium-iodine symporter) which allows iodine concentration. Thus, it is logical to conclude that iodine plays an important role in these organs—the stomach mucosa, salivary glands, ovaries, thymus gland, skin, brain, joints, arteries and bone.
