As much as science has changed the world we live in today, much of the knowledge about health is being hidden and therefore overlooked. Some of that knowledge goes back for hundreds of years, and in many cases, could be saving people a lot of suffering and even deaths. In this article, you are going to learn about one of those all-natural dietary supplements that is safe and effective for extending life and preventing some of the common disorders Americans are suffering from today.
Most of us have heard of this supplement called iodine, but would probably be hard-pressed to explain what it does. Before widespread use of synthetic drugs and antibiotics, iodine was recommended for everything from healing wounds and stopping disease. It was also used to destroy bacteria and viruses, and possibly even for the prevention of cancer.
Without adequate stores of iodine, many people suffer from preventable disease and die early. You may suffer from a number of diseases that negatively affect your quality of life. Some of these disorders include thyroid disease and goiter; breast, prostate, ovarian, thyroid, pancreatic and other cancers; infertility, and miscarriages, fibrocystic breast disease, ovarian, pancreatic and thyroid cysts and possibly endometriosis; obesity; mental retardation; autism; allergies; asthma; Parkinson’s disease and other brain disorders.
Approximately 2 billion people, or one-third of the world’s population, live in areas defined as iodine deficient by the World Health Organization. Their statistics show that about 15% all populations are deficient. Dr. David Brownstein says that 90% of the 5,000 patients he has tested are iodine insufficient. He also writes that over half of all pregnant women are iodine deficient.
So, what if a supplement that cost pennies a day could protect a child’s brain and give him or her a life of promise and productivity? So many of our children today are growing up mentally and physically crippled, never to reach their intellectual potential, only because their mothers didn’t get enough iodine during conception and pregnancy, according to Robert Thompson, M.D.
Here is a very short list of the scientifically validated health benefits of adequate iodine intake, yet almost no doctor today is trained to check and make sure their patients are consuming enough iodine. Just one more way the modern day “Sick Care System” keeps us ignorant and lets us down. Adequate intake of iodine has been scientifically proven to prevent breast, prostate, ovarian, thyroid, and pancreatic cancer. It helps us maintain a healthy weight, stop food cravings, and keeps our metabolism running normally. Iodine boosts energy and libido, stops brain fog, and improves focus. Iodine increases IQ in children and possibly prevents autism, improves blood sugar in people with diabetes, and reduces the risk of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.
To help you understand just how important iodine is, look at the facts that we have known for many years. Iodine is found in every single cell in your body. Your hormones need iodine to perform their jobs. Iodine is essential for thyroid function and every part of the cascade of metabolic processes that the thyroid governs. Your immune system needs iodine to function. It is a powerful antimicrobial that can prevent you from getting the common cold or stop an infection of a wound to preventing cancer. It is necessary for healthy breast tissue and is critical for brain development in babies.
Approximately 2 billion people, or one-third, are defined as iodine deficient including millions in India, China, and the United States. You might ask, “How could this be?” Some of the longest living people live in areas where large amounts of iodine are found abundantly; this includes the mountainous regions like the Himalayas, the Andes, and the Alps. The lowest levels of naturally occurring iodine include Central Asia, Central Africa, much of Europe, and large parts of America. It has been identified as the good guy wearing the white hat, bringing good health to all those who are getting enough in their diet.
Unfortunately, the American diet does not contain anywhere near enough to maintain optimal levels of iodine or optimal health. The good news is that getting enough iodine in our diet is as simple as taking 2 capsules of the only iodine I recommend because it contains and delivers three different types of iodine in the exact amounts needed. It comes in a one- or two-month supply for less than a dollar a day. It delivers 30,000 mcg in a daily dose, which most medical professionals agree is safe even if you are taking other medications. This particular iodine delivers a perfectly balanced amount of potassium iodine, sodium iodine, and molecular iodine (from kelp). Stop the guess work and take the best.
