Too Much Fluoride/Bromide/Chlorine & Not Enough Iodine

Sodium Bromide is it, that is the universal preservative found in

processed foods? Excess Bromine and Isopropanol were found in all cancer

victims in the first book on cancer written by Hulda . And of

course the chlorine producers flood us with their toxicity.

Fluoride was used by both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in their labor

camps.

Meet the Halogens: Fluorine (F), Bromine (Br), Chlorine (Cl), Iodine ( I )

When I started looking into

iodine/kelp supplementation, I found some interesting correlations with

fluoride (used in water & toothpaste) and bromide (used in most

processed flours and foods). Have you ever heard of halogen

displacement? Here's a hint – it is not about your car's headlights. It

seems that fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are intimately

related because their outer electron shells are the same. This means

that when iodine levels are low, any of the other 3 elements can fit

into iodine receptor sites and create problems. It is like putting water

into a gas tank. Although all four of the above halide elements are

present naturally in small amounts in seaweed, for example, excess

fluoride, bromide, and chlorine in our diets can adversely affect

weight, mood, skin, and the potential for cancer, just to name a few.

All three can be extremely toxic, yet they are added, in abundance, to

our food and drinking water. Even some medications, such as Prozac, are

fluorine based.

Too much fluoride, bromine, or

chlorine blocks iodine from doing its job. Fluoride suppresses the

pineal gland (the seat of higher consciousness) . Fluoride was used in

WWII Germany to make prisoners " stupid and docile " . Bromide affects the

central nervous system in a variety of ways, limiting the conduction of

energy. Chlorine creates carcinogenic compounds. Consider that iodine is

a higher energy molecule than the other three halides. Since the pineal

gland is suppressed, I wonder if the combined effect from fluoride,

chlorine, and bromide could suppress intuitive abilities. Could taking

enough iodine make some people smarter or more psychic as their bodies

are able to conduct more energy? Enhance creativity? Maybe energy

healers could conduct more energy? Hmmm.

The good news is that high dosages

of iodine/kelp will help eliminate the excessive fluoride/bromine/

chlorine. The only caveat is that as therapeutic amounts of iodine are

introduced, this will cause fluoride/bromine/ chlorine to be excreted

from the body, and temporary detox reactions/symptoms can occur like

rashes, headache, body odor, etc - but it is a good thing. (A salt

preparation called Sole' may help with this – see info on bromine

below). A very few individuals may be sensitive to iodine, so it is

sensible to take it slowly and/or consult a holistic physician for

guidance.

Although the minimum RDA of iodine

is 130mcg daily, the toxic load of all the fluoride, chlorine, and

bromide in our diets far over-shadows this paltry amount. Consider that

the Japanese on average consume about 100 times the US RDA of iodine in

the form of seaweed. Cancer rates, cases of osteoporosis, and many other

diseases are significantly less than in the US. Before bromine was

introduced to our foods, US cancer rates were 1 in 20. Now they are 1 in

8. It would seem prudent to avoid fluoride toothpastes & get a

water filter that removes fluoride & chlorine from the water. Also,

pay attention to food packaging. Most flour is brominated, so it will be

hard to avoid. The links below are food for thought. (Note: None of

this is medical advice – Consult your doctor with any questions.)

Lugol's Solution is one way to supplement with iodine. This site sells Lugol's

Solution very cheaply. It is pennies per dose:

apple cider vinegar or grape juice in water.

Some info about Bromine (found in almost all foods, ie flours and processed

foods, and many soft drinks):

http://iodine4health.com/special/nutrients/salt/brownstein_salt.htm.

A low salt diet may increase bromine

concentrations. Good salt (Himalayan, Celtic, Redmonds) helps with

excretion of bromine. Taking Sole' made from any good salt might be a

good idea:

Excess bromine acts as a depressant

and narcotic, particularly to the brain and nervous system. Bromine

lessens the sensitiveness of the nerves and their conductivity, and are

also powerful depressants on the heart and sex organs, often causing

loss of sex power.

Chlorine blocks zinc, another

important mineral. " Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water

is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine. " -

Halogen Imbalance Syndrome (HIS) (From Curezone.com)

HIS is a real phenomenon, which

deals not only with whether we are short in Iodine (which most are), but

rather with a more holistic view that the body is more healthy when

there is a proper balance of iodine, bromine, chlorine and fluoride in

the body.

People believe they're well informed

and sometimes even hung up on calcium, magnesium, potassium

supplements, etc. as relieving them from leg cramps, insomnia, etc., yet

they completely ignore the four halogens in their lives, which reside

on the other side of the periodic table. The main reason for this is

that most people are programmed how to think by the Big Media moguls,

who control what is printed and broadcast.

Ca, Mg & cet. are all

electropositive elements, whereas the halogens Fluorine (F), Bromine

(Br), Chlorine (Cl), Iodine ( I ) are all electronegative, with fluorine

being the most electronegative, and most reactive of all elements in

the periodic table. Every day people drink tons of fluoride, bromide,

and chloride in this country and globally. Yet, there is an iodine

shortage. And chlorine, bromine, and fluorine can all take up residence

in body tissues where iodine is normally supposed to be, because they

are in the same element family in the periodic table, and have identical

outer electron structures.

To ignore the electronegative elements and focus only on the electropositive may

be a huge mistake.

Consuming elevated quantities of

iodine in the short term may flush out excesses of fluorides, bromide,

and chloride that are present in many body tissues. It can in many cases

be desirable to eliminate the overpopulation of undesirable halogens,

and put back the iodine where it needs to be. Once this is done, one

only needs avoid excessive amounts of fluoride and bromides, and

continue on maintenance amounts of iodine.
