Except for thyroid problems, iodine has been used in bygone years as the main ingredient in cough syrup along with glycerine. The number of body processes benefited by iodine in the diet are manifold. Some examples are as follows: 1. Some people report that grey hair grows back to its natural color. 2. It is a natural lung and sinus decongestant. 3. Iodine can re-arrange the sugar and starch molecules so that they can be broken down and assimilated faster in the body's oxidation/ reduction cycle. 4. Iodine is a natural antiseptic and germicide for cuts and wounds. 5. It is a general gland stabilizer to the whole glandualar system. 6. Iodine brings skin eruptions to a head much faster. 7. It is alkaline in its effects on other acids and other halogens. 8. It can break down fatty tissue in the obese. 9. It is a general mucous dissolver. 10. It increases the body endurance, especially at high altitudes. 11. It produces a relaxed feeling as the body temperature stabilizes. 12. It has been used both for underactive and the overactive thyroid states. 13. It is used in most non-toxic alternative therapies. It is no wonder why we run short of iodine, especially when foods, such as eggs, starches, and sugars are taken to excess. These foods are all known to use up the iodine reserves at a fast rate. Iodine is a must where the diet is high in chlorides, or HCl supplementation. Iodine can be displaced out of the body by foods or supplements containing high amounts of chlorine, chloride, or HCl. This is a natural fact of chemistry. Now here is the clincher. Any fluoride, whether in toothpaste or in water supplies, will displace iodine out of the body with vigorous action. Iodine is present in all of the glandulars such as the thyroid, the parathyroids, the adrenals, the gonads, and the brain itself. All of these comprise the immune system. The last line of defense IS the immune system which determines the presence of chronic and latent serious disorders. Iodine is naturally found in Kelp and the seaweeds. Iodine is also found in other foods such as garlic, grapes, and olives, but it exists in lesser quantities. Take special notice when you are taking the blood pressure. If the difference between the systolic pressure (higher reading) and the diastolic pressure (lower number) have a difference of more than 35 points, iodine supplements may be very helpful in preventing or arresting deposits in the arterial system as the case may be. Iodine has been used in other countries for dysentery, intestinal worms, yeast infections, and other septic problems. When the body tolerance point is reached while you are using a program high in iodine, there may be a greater nasal discharge than usual, and some skin eruptions may take place. Even though these are natural reactions when the body is detoxifying at a faster rate, you may need to reduce or eliminate the intake of iodine supplementation until you are ready to detoxify more. The other option is to increase the detoxification process and prevent these natural reactions as described in the book, "Starting and Testing the Healing Process" featured on our web site. |
