Iodine supplementation?

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

Could you let me know if it makes sense to take supplemental iodine in some

cases? The radiation situation in Japan continues to get worse and who knows

what information is being withheld from us.

I have potential thyroid issues that could be causing my weight loss, cold

hands, low blood pressure, low body temp, etc. I have heard of people that

received a lot of relief from these symptoms by taking iodine supplements. I

don't want to take drugs for it. I take all the diet plus supp's per your

program already, but maybe thats not enough for people with problems like I

have. And then the radiation fallout from Japan could make my thyroid easy

pickins.

Weston Price research showed low dietary iodine, but they had better health to

begin with so didn't need extra. Also, they had no radiation leaking from

nuclear disasters!

What do you think?

Thank you,

+++Hi . I see you joined this group April 2008, so have you been on my

program that long? If not, when did you get completely on it?

If you have been on my program long enough you do not need to be concerned about

radiation fallout since your thyroid would be saturated with enough iodine that

is on this program, and also taking niacin which detoxifies radiation, etc.

Iodine is a mineral only needed in trace amounts by the thyroid and many other

organs and tissues throughout the body.

Iodine can only be absorbed and utilized by the body IF there is the correct

combination of fats and oils, including oil soluble vitamins A, D and E, omega

3, saturated fats like butter, coconut oil, etc. and other trace minerals in

ocean sea salt, etc.

Of course all of the nutrients work together so that's why this has proved to be

an overall healing program.

You say you have " potential " thyroid issues that could be causing my weight

loss, cold hands, low blood pressure, low body temp, etc.

Weight loss is because your body needs all of its resources and energy in order

to heal and detoxify itself so it won't be building up muscle and fat.

Eventually weight does normalize to what it should be.

Cold hands, low blood pressure, low body temp can be related to low thyroid

hormones being produced, but that is because of adrenal fatigue, i.e. over

activity. When the adrenals are overstressed by emotional stresses and/or being

unhealthy they are unable to handle normal thyroid hormone production. The

thyroid senses this and down regulates its production in order to protect the

adrenals.

When your adrenals are overactive it means your body is running on its

fight/flight nervous system. In order to switch that off, do deep breathing

exercises:

Those same symptoms are also because toxins make all of the cell membranes

rigid/stiff which causes many health issues as explained in this article:

In addition, in order for all of the body's cell to be healthy they need to be

constructed out of 50% saturated fat (lung cells need 100% saturated fat). Of

course by now your cells should be constructed properly if you've been on the

program long enough.

The best in health, Bee
