Iodine – Information

Dr. W.J. Keeling, Dr. Mercola and my comments.

Caution;

1. Too much Iodine can hurt your body and effect your emotion.

2. Too much Iodine can deform your skin looks.

3. “Less is good”. (on the average you can take 2 drops every 3 to 4 days as needed).

Iodine is an essential nutrient for optimal thyroid function as well as for function of many tissues including the breast, ovary, and prostate. Unfortunately, iodine is no longer a prevalent mineral found in our soil and is therefore in short supply in the diets of most of the world. Iodine deficiency is an epidemic worldwide as it is here in the United States, and low iodine levels contribute significantly to thyroid dysfunction, breast disease and many other conditions.

In an iodine deficient state, the body will absorb the iodine it is given and hold onto it. The Urine Iodine Spot and Load test that Labrix does is based on this premise. During the test, the patient is given a loading dose of 50 mg of iodine and excretion of that iodine is monitored for 24 hours in urine. In an iodine replete individual, greater than 90% of the 50 mg dose will be excreted, but in cases of iodine insufficiency, the thyroid and other tissues in the body will hold onto the iodine and the iodine spill rate will be less than 90%, in many cases it is as low as 40 or 50%.

This concept is important as we are faced with a potential radiation exposure in the aftermath of the recent earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan. There have now been several reports of explosions at a number of nuclear reactors in Japan, and though the exact amount of nuclear material that has been (or will be) released is unknown, there are many people around the globe and, specifically, along the west coast of the US that are preparing for this potential radiation exposure. Clinics, stores and websites that sell iodine are selling out as this rush to stockpile potassium iodide has become a frenzy.

Why iodine? Well radioactive iodine, specifically iodine-131 is a major (though not the only) radioisotope released in a nuclear explosion. Following its release into the environment, the radioactive material (including radioactive iodine) will be carried downwind. In persons who are iodine deficient, which is unfortunately a large percentage of the population, their body will readily take up the radioactive iodine and hold onto it just like it does with non-radioactive iodine in a 24 hour load test. The radioactive iodine becomes concentrated in the thyroid and potentially in other organs and tissues known to utilize iodine including breast tissue, the ovaries and the prostate. Concentration of radioactive iodine in these tissues can lead to mutations and cancers. There are iodine symporter molecules in a number of tissues in the body, so the effects may even be more diverse than we know.

A REAL SIMPLE TEST THAT YOU CAN DO AT HOME…PUT A COUPLE OF DROPS  IODINE ON THE INSIDE OF WRIST AND IF IT DISAPPEARS YOU NEED IODINE….NOW YOU ARE THE DOCTOR….
