The Thyroid and its fuel Iodine
Posted by onDetails
The thyroid gland is a master gland located in the center of the lower portion of our neck. It regulates hormones, metabolism, energy levels and heart rate. Iodine is the fuel that the thyroid uses to perform these functions. It has four major functions in the body: Stabilization of metabolism and body weight, brain development in children, fertility and optimization of the immune system.
Hypothyroidism means that the gland is under performing while hyper means that its over working. It has been estimated that 20 million americans have hypothyroidism.^1 Up to 60% of them are unaware that they have it.
Iodine is one of the major deficiencies along with vitamin D and magnesium. Its important to understand that the soil is vitamin and mineral deficient due to a weapon’s manufacturer attempting to monopolize the food supply of the world. Monsanto (monsatan?) has downgraded the quality of the soil with nitrogen-heavy fertilizer and petroleum-based pesticides.
The point is that we cannot get everything we need from our food unless we are growing it ourselves and building up the soil. Think of thyroid problems as an iodine deficiency. Signs of hypothyroidism include: feeling sluggish, having difficulty losing weight, dry skin, hair loss, constipation or cold sensitivity. This means that you need to fill the bank account which can be done affordably using Lugol’s transdermal iodine and sea vegetables. Nascent iodine is another one to look into.
Helpful note: Iodine is a member of a class of elements called halogens. Bromine, fluorine and chlorine are the other three. When they are reduced, they become halides: bromide, fluoride, and chloride. Iodide and chloride are beneficial while bromide and fluoride cause problems. Toxic halides lock on to iodine receptors and block iodide and thyroid hormones. Here are some ways to get these halides out of the body^2: High dose iodine and vitamin C, unrefined sea salt, epsom salt baths and sweating in a far infrared sauna.
