Sometimes you have difficult situations when your client is doing everything you ask for and follow instructions, and she does not respond to therapy and all tests show that the levels are balanced, and we wonder: what is happening. A year ago one of those cases made me lose much sleep thinking about what might be missing that would make all the difference for this patient, which is exercise, stress fix your diet, and reduce and implement their hormones, but only ISN # 39, t work. I consulted a colleague with whom to share problems in Canada and often asked if I had checked the level of iodine in the patient. Of course, it struck me like lightning, Iodine is an essential trace element required for the synthesis of hormones and that is so high these days. No wonder that the patient was deficient in iodine, was supplemented with an additional requirement and not a miraculous recovery in less than 2 months. br discovered by the Frenchman, Bernard Courtois in 1804. The name comes from the Greek word quot; iodesquot;, which means violet. Iodine deficiency is believed to be widespread throughout the world. br All cells in the body need iodine for proper functioning. All glands (thyroid, adrenals, etc.), especially of iodine necessary for the production of hormones. Many believe that iodine deficiency is the leading cause of breast cancer and other diseases of the reproductive organs as the ovaries, uterus and prostate cysts and cancer. Mainline Japanese population 13.8mg of iodine consumed per day, and Japanese women have lower rates of breast cancer in the world, their diet includes large amounts of seaweed. Iodine levels in U.S. soil have fallen 50 percent in the last 50 years and soil in the U.S. is deficient in iodine. The Great Lakes region has some of the lowest levels of iodine in the soils of the world and as a result, high levels of cancers related to iodine deficiency. I know a doctor in Madison, Wisconsin, which has been quite successful in the treatment of fibrocystic breast disease (cysts in the breast) with iodine / iodine supplements. In one case, a 37yearold with severe fibrocystic breast was completely cured after supplementing with 50 mg of iodine per day for two months. Women with larger breasts need more iodine than women with small breasts. Other medical authorities agree that iodine deficiency can lead to fibrocystic breast disease and / or ovarian cysts. br Iodine can similarly reduce uterine fibroids and one of the first conventional medical treatments for severe fibroids was to paint the uterus with iodine. br Some other medical conditions associated with iodine deficiency are goiter, Graves disease, Hashimoto's disease, fatigue and impaired immune system function. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy can lead to miscarriages and reduced IQ to survive the descent. br The World Health Organization said that iodine deficiency is the leading cause of mental retardation. Iodine also detoxifies the body by removing mercury, fluorides, chlorides and bromides. br If iodine / iodide are so important in the body, why has not there been more research studies published, I believe that because iodine can not be patented there is no incentive for pharmaceutical companies to conduct the research. Iodized salt and iodine supplements usually found in natural food stores contain the iodide form of iodine. There has been little success treating patients with only iodide. It seems the conventional medical establishment again has understated the amount of a nutrient needed for good health. According to Dr. Abraham GE, quot; Of all the elements known so far are essential for health, iodine is the most misunderstood and most feared. However, it is by far the safest of all trace elements known to be essential for human health. It is the only trace element that can be ingested safely in amounts up to 100,000 times the RDA. For example, potassium iodide has been prescribed to patients safely lung daily amounts of up to 6.0 g / day in large groups of patients for several years. However it is important to emphasize that this safety record applies only to radioactive inorganic iodine / iodide, not to organic iodine containing drugs and to radioiodides quot;. br shellfish and marine plants such as kelp (seaweed) are good dietary sources of iodine but few people in the U.S. consume enough of these foods. br Summary of conditions in response to supplementation of iodine: fibrocystic breasts, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, cognitive dysfunction (brain fog), diabetes, heart rhythm problems, including atrial FIB, and prevention of breast cancer. Iodine is depleted by: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, thyroid hormone, pesticides. br now routine testing for iodine deficiency. When not responding to hormone therapy can only have a deficiency of iodine. If you have questions, call me, my job is to help women regain their lives. br My name is Frank Nuber, I am a pharmacist.
