Iodine for teeth and bones

[Guest guest]

Skipper, thank you very much for this link.

This is the first good link we have on iodine with teeth and bones. I had never before thought about how fluoride was supposed to get into the teeth and bones. It makes sense that iodine was there first and is now deficient.

Also, I've seen some pictures of RAI, and it certainly seemed to show up in a lot of places in the body. Does anyone have access to any good RAI photos that show iodine in bones or teeth?

Here is our collection of RAI photos showing the organs where iodine accumulates. These don't seem to show bones or teeth, but they are pretty small pictures.

Does anyone have any better RAI photos showing where it goes?

I've added your Derry link to several places on iodine4health; e.g., fluoride, bones, teeth, Derry.

http://thyroid.about.com/library/derry/bl7.htmWhat is happening is the ingested fluoride takes the place of iodine that should be there in the teeth, especially growing teeth. Iodine and thyroid for example have complete control of tooth growth along with some help from growth hormone. (6-8) It is only because our iodine intake has been decreasing over the years that fluoride has been mistakenly added to our water with the idea of helping children's teeth. It would have made more scientific sense to have added more iodine. Monitoring of the results of fluoridation and iodine intake have not been consistent. As one would expect there are lots of publications now about the problems with too much fluoride.Fluoride has also been used against osteoporosis with beneficial results. This again is just replacing what iodine should be doing. The minor problems of osteopenia (minor loss of calcium) seen in some patients put on thyroid is related to the fact that the same patients are low in iodine. The low iodine causes the hypothyroidism and also the inappropriate short term bone response. If iodine is given with the thyroid hormone this abnormal response can be avoided. So persons taking adequate daily iodine will unlikely to ever develop osteoporosis.The thyroid gland uses iodine to make thyroid hormone. We know the thyroid gland appeared in evolution at the same time as back bones (vertebrates). Radioactive iodine injected into patients shows a full outline of the bones on a total body scan. This means one of the places iodine goes to immediately is bones. Thyroid hormone makes bones grow, mature and remodel, when necessary. Together thyroid hormone, iodine and growth hormone maintain a healthy bone structure. As vertebrates (animals with backbones) are the only animals with thyroid glands it makes sense that iodine and thyroid control bone structure and function.(6-8)*********************Skipper

I had scans that looked like the woman's. I had things light up in my thyroid bed, bladder and colon. I checked my slides out of the hospital last September when I went to the Univ of MI for a consult.

Do you think supplementing with iodine would whiten up my brown teeth?
