The Iodine Crisis: What You Don't know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life

Product Information

Prevention of goiter: A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, often resulting from iodine deficiency. Higher iodine intake can help prevent the formation of goiters and maintain healthy thyroid function. In the 19th century women with painful or lumpy breasts were advised to paint them with iodine, and doctors sometimes injected iodine into the breast tissue. Tincture of iodine was applied to wounds. Serious health risks on a mass scale Over the past few years, a growing number of people have been taking doses of iodine ten times the daily amount of 150mcg recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Most of them – but not all – claim to have improved their health in this way, sometimes dramatically. The Iodine Crisis is a book written by Lynne Farrow, a Journalist, College Professor, and Speaker. Her own experience with breast cancer led to the discovery that there has been grand misinformation on a natural mineral (Iodine), with proven benefits for many diseases and cancers. With the help of Dr David Brownstein, she had been able to Journal and write a book about the Hidden Information (and Disinformation) about Iodine. The guidelines are to build up the intake of iodine gradually, starting with 12.5mg of iodine (such as Iodorol, Iodorx or Lugol’s) each day, and increasing the dose by 12.5mg every week.

Aceves, C. Is Iodine a gatekeeper of the integrity of the mammary gland? J. of Mammary Gland Biol. and Neoplasia. Vol.10, No.2. April 2005. Dr Brownstein, in his book Iodine: Why You Need It; Why You Can’t Live Without It, recommends a daily dose of between 12 and 50mg a day for iodine deficient adults. This is a process that should not be taken lightly. I have been supplementing at this level for two months now, and have seen some improvements with just a few detox effects. Detox effects Tissues including the kidneys, spleen, liver, blood, salivary glands, and intestines can use either form of Iodine/Iodide. Since various organs and tissues respond to different forms of iodine, it is optimal to supplement a combination of Iodine and Iodide. Koutras, D.A, et al. Effect of small iodine supplement on thryoid function in normal iondividuals J. Clin. Endocr. 24:857-862, 1964. Europe has the highest percentage of iodine deficiency in the world, and the UK is the seventh most iodine deficient country.Thank you so much for all the information, i am wondering if iodine and MMS / chlorine dioxide are ok to take along side each other?

Unfortunately, Iodine is a vital nutrient that seems go very unnoticed in today's world, even in conventional medicine. A few reasons why iodine has been vastly neglected, or even strongly opposed by many Doctors, Pharmacists, and even popular Medical institutions, is because it is inexpensive, can cure most diseases, and/or significantly improve symptoms of disease. In the 1940's, when antibiotics came into vogue as the treatment for most disease, iodine therapy vanished from popular medical vernacular. The iodine crisis refers to the increasing prevalence of iodine deficiency across the world, leading to a range of health issues. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 2 billion people worldwide suffer from iodine deficiency, with 54 countries considered iodine-deficient. For years, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for iodine has been set at 150 micrograms (mcg) for adults. This requirement was initially set to prevent Goiter. However, new research and clinical observations suggest that these recommendations may be too low to ensure optimal health, especially considering our modern day toxic environments saturated with Halides that deplete our Iodine levels, thus contributing to the “The Iodine crisis”.

The Benefits of Higher Iodine Doses

Detractors from this practice say that it’s dangerous to take too much iodine, that it can damage the thyroid and can trigger autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s. Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of unrefined, unprocessed sea salt or Himalayan salt in about 4 fluid ounces or half a cup of warm water.
