You Can Now Boost Your Thyroid Function,
Eliminating Your Most Troubling Symptoms…
Without A Prescription and Without
Begging Your Doctor!
How? By adding a simple but vital supplement to your diet: Iodine.
Just how important is iodine? Consider this… about 25¢ worth is all that stands between an infant developing normally and one that’ll be severely mentally handicapped the rest of its life.
Iodine is essential to a proper functioning thyroid. But as we grow older, our thyroid starts slowing down. It just can’t metabolize the iodine it needs as efficiently, and that means the hormone produced (also known as thyroid) goes down as well.
There are 2 other reasons why most of us are iodine deficient:
Inadequate dietary intake, and
Exposure to toxic substances that displace iodine.
Iodine is a mineral, but one that is not abundant in the food we eat. Primarily found in very small quantities in seawater, soils are naturally deficient in iodine, especially the further away you get from the ocean.
Iodine is also fairly easily displaced from your body by toxins called toxic halides… fluoride, bromine and chloride.
Fluoride is by far the worst culprit. Found in toothpaste and in your water supply, every time you take a shower, brush your teeth or drink from the tap, your body gets a little exposure to fluoride, leeching out good iodine. And contrary to popular belief, fluoridated water is actually rather poor at preventing tooth decay.
Why is it in our water supply then? Poor science combined with corporate greed and political ignorance paved the way. Basically a toxic by-product of aluminum production, fluoridation was sold as a way to prevent cavities because some areas with natural fluoride in the water also had lower instances of tooth decay. Based upon that spurious observation, fluoridation began.
If You’re Human, You’re Most Certainly Iodine Deficient!
Because of these factors, 96% of all people tested are iodine deficient! This according to a study of 4000 patients conducted by Dr. David Brownstein, Medical Director for The Center of Holistic Medicine, and renowned author of several books on hormones, iodine and hypothyroidism.
The World Health Organization also concurs, estimating that 72% of the world’s population is being affected by iodine deficiency.
This trend is worsening. Over the last 30 years, the NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I) shows iodine levels have dropped 50% in the U.S.A. alone.
Iodine, yes! You can try KELP (iodine-rich seaweed) that is dried and ground into capsules available at health stores. I was recently diagnosed hypothyroid by a conventional physician on the basis of blood test. I had no symptoms other than the gain of a few unwanted pounds. Reluctant to start on synthroid, I got the kelp advice from a pharmacist at the health food store (I didn’t even know they employed pharmacists, so far am I from being a “holistic” type). The results were immediate, but not dramatic or frightening. I easily dropped the few pounds, and my weight became stable. My appetite increased slightly. For me, some of symptoms of menopause seemed to reverse themselves (for example, my skin is oilier and once again a little prone to acne). After a month, I don’t know yet if the change will show up in my blood tests, and I can’t claim it will be permanent. But it sure seems worth a try for someone who is genuinely hypothyroid. Thanks for the explanation about deficiency; you make me feel I am not nuts to make these claims about a little powdered seaweed! Side effects: a salty taste in my mouth, and it can aggravate acne in people prone to it. Be careful, perhaps start slowly.
