Iodine, why we need it

[AndrewG]

" The present situation we find ourselves in at the very beginning of the 21st century demands that we quickly reengineer medicine, not only mainstream allopathic but all the branches and alternatives. Consciousness is just forming around the conclusion that the majority of humans today are suffering from chronic poisoning. It is not just the fact that the tide of toxic chemicals is rising and accumulating in our cells and blood streams, wrecking physiological, emotional and mental havoc, but there is also a sheer drop in the quality and quantity of key nutrients being consumed. Iodine is a perfect example, in today’s world the last thing you want to be short on is iodine."

Also i have found another form of taking iodine
Nascent Iodine
A more bio-available new stronger 2% form of iodine. Due to its unique electromagnetic charging, when the drops hit the saliva they release a burst of energy for 2-3 hours sending vital iodine direct to the thyroid and to other organs and tissues. It generates great cellular energy to assist detoxing of daily acids/toxins and is anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial - the body's natural antibiotic.

Thanks for this info.  I'll look it up.  Sounds interesting to say the least.

Hope you can have a quick read of the pub-med article I posted today on reversing fluorosis or fluoride poisoning in children. The researchers recommend a combination of Vit C, Vit D and calcium.

Hi I read the pub med info sounds interesting will try to look into it more see what other research has been done on this subject

THE Nascent Iodine can be purchased at the Forest Glen Health Store.$42 for 600 drops I have to buy this instead of the seaweed as the weed is to high in iron for some one with Haemotomacrosis (to much iron in the blood or liver)

Here is some info on magnesium chloride (also known as magnesium oil)
There is a power and a force in magnesium that cannot be equaled anywhere else in the world of medicine. There is no substitute for magnesium in human physiology; nothing comes even close to it in terms of its effect on overall cell physiology. Without sufficient magnesium, the body accumulates toxins and acid residues, degenerates rapidly, and ages prematurely. Magnesium is the mineral of rejuvenation and prevents the calcification of our organs and tissues that is characteristic of the old-age related degeneration of our body.

It goes against a gale wind of medical science to ignore magnesium chloride (also known as magnesium oil) used transdermally and orally in the treatment of any chronic or acute disorder, especially cancer. Magnesium deficiency poses a direct threat to the health of our cells. Without sufficient amounts of this precious mineral our cells calcify and rot, becoming breeding grounds for yeast and fungi invaders all to happy to strangle our life force and kill us. Magnesium deficiency is carcinogenic, and in case of solid tumors, a high level of supplemented magnesium inhibits carcinogenesis

According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, low magnesium is associated with dramatic increases in free radical generation as well as glutathione depletion and this is vital since glutathione is one of the few antioxidant molecules known to neutralize mercury. Glutathione requires magnesium for its synthesis. Glutathione synthetase requires ?-glutamyl cysteine, glycine, ATP, and magnesium ions to form glutathione. In magnesium deficiency, the enzyme y-glutamyl transpeptidase is lowered.

        Magnesium in general is essential for the survival of our cells but takes on further importance in the age of toxicity where our bodies are being bombarded on a daily basis with heavy metals. Without the cleaning and chelating work of glutathione (magnesium) cells begin to decay as cellular filth and heavy metals accumulates; excellent environments to attract deadly infection/cancer.

        Several studies have shown an increased cancer rate in regions with low magnesium levels in soil and drinking water, and the same for selenium. In Egypt the cancer rate was only about 10% of that in Europe and America. In the rural fellah it was practically non-existent. The main difference was an extremely high magnesium intake of 2.5 to 3g in these cancer-free populations, ten times more than in most western countries.

Magnesium and Water
Paul Mason, at http://www.mgwater.com says, “The cost of magnesium fortification of all water-based canned or bottled beverages in California, bringing them up to 90 mg/L by the addition of magnesium chloride hexahydrate, is about $42 Million per annum.(1) The savings, as previously reported, are between 24,886 and 100,350 lives per annum in California (2). The economic benefit of magnesium fortification can be estimated at $200,000 per life, if the consumer earns only $20,000 per year for an additional 10 years. Perhaps an equal number of consumers would have been incapacitated by heart disease (or fear of heart attack), and so their earnings would also have been lost due to the lack of magnesium. There may be a few Billions more savings in medical care and supporting incapacitated heart-attack victims. So the economic benefits in California of magnesium fortification would be at least $10 Billion per annum, and the cost/benefit ratio is better than 1/237. The cost of preventing these 24,886 to 100,350 deaths is between $418 and $1,687 each per annum. The cost per consumer is $1.40 per annum, as obtained by dividing the $42 Million cost by the 30 Million California consumers.”

Because federal, state and local governments are not expected to start using magnesium chloride anytime soon, The International Medical Veritas Association recommends adding small amounts of magnesium chloride to the drinking water in the house, whether from filtered, bottled or distilled processes.

Thanks AndrewG and TruthSeeker for all this information about magnesium and iodine. Such powerful information.  I'm now trying both the iodine and the transdermal magnesium.  I'll let you know how I get on with them.  Will give things a few weeks to see results.

I've found research http://www.indmedica.com/journals.php?journalid=3&issueid=137&articleid=1816&action=article  that reveals that pregnant mothers who are deficient in iodine have babies with physical deformities and mental impairedness.  The good news is that if they increase their iodine intake to normal levels during weeks 14-18 gestation, that these deformities which occur in the first trimester of the pregnancy, can be avoided and the baby is born with normal mental function.  However, if the iodine is not taken by the mother until after week 18, then the damage cannot be undone.  I also read research that said that human breast milk has concentrations of iodine in it that is 30% stronger than the level of iodine circulating in the mother's bloodstream.  I think iodine must be vital for human development.

Just a note of caution: pregnant mothers would do well to have a urine test prior to beginning taking iodine in any supplement other than food.  The test can be done by a naturopath or doctor.  Locally on the Sunshine Coast, Qld Australia, the test is available for $55.00.

Thanks for the info guys!  Any more?

I think we all get a little bit distracted from the main topicstarter's theme
