does Chloride compete with Iodine?

[Guest guest]

I started doing salt loading a week ago and it always makes me feel

better.

But does it interfere with Iodine absorption? Should I take the

iodine and the sodium chloride at different times of the day?

Sometimes I feel I need the salt loading relief not long after I take

the iodine, because of lethargy, brain fog, etc.

Chloride is in the same column of the period table as fluoride, iodide

and bromide, etc., so I wonder if it pushes iodine out of the body.

thank you for your time

,

Must it be sodium chloride you should take? How about sea salt? Sea salt contains iodine as well.

this is a good question. Since salt loading is prescribed by the iodine doctors, it must not affect iodine uptake. Why ? Here is my feeling. iodine is a trace mineral, found in low quantities in nature. Chloride and Fluoride are abundant in nature, not sure about bromide. So how would iodine ever succeed in this scenario against the other halogens ? Well it is a known fact that calcium fluoride, the naturally found form, is not accumulated but excreted naturally by the body. Only the unnatural forms, like sodium fluoride which is added to city water, is accumulated in the body and causes problems thereby. I suspect the same is true of chloride whereas the unnatural form of free chlorine when added to the water supply creates all kinds of unnatural chloro....compounds that cause problems in the body. So I don't think we need be concerned about the naturally found forms of the halogens.

Thanks for the replies, and .

In answer to one question, yes I'm taking celtic sea salt for the salt

loadings. This is mostly sodium chloride, and has very little iodine

in it. I'm taking Iodoral for the iodine.

In answer to , yes, I suspect that it's the chlorine compounds

like percholate that are the problem rather than simple cloride ions.

You're probably right that chloride doesn't compete with iodide,

otherwise the iodine doctors would never recommend it.

I'm still slightly curious if I would get more mileage out of my

iodoral if I time the salt loadings a certain way. I believe there is

a mercury chelation protocol designed by a man named Cutler than

involves very specific timings for taking various substances each day.

One substance gets the mercury out of the brain and into the

bloodstream, and another one gets it out of the bloodstream and into

the bladder or whatever. A certain time lapse is recommended between

the two. The iodine and sodium chloride seem similar in the way they

get things like bromide out of the body.

Fortunately, I just started taking niacin and riboflavin yesterday and

my brain fog and lethargy aren't as bad as they were, so I'm not so

dependent on the salt loadings as an emergency measure for being able

to function during the day. So I should be able to space the salt

loading with the iodoral by a few hours. Maybe that will be better,

maybe not...

I suspect the same is true of chloride whereas the unnatural form of

Did you know that iodine is a better and safer water purifier than chlorine ? You can buy iodine based chemicals for your pool. The city could use it in the water supply instead of chlorine if they chose. Why do you think no one knows that ? Well if you don't already know the answer to that question, you better find out for yourself. But the truth is not a simple matter of asking those who should know.

I have a saltanater pool and when I got an infection one of the things I did was to jump into the pool and let the salt help the wounds.

So why don't they?

In Europe the water is ozonated. Ozone kills off everything and

leaves no residue. Several cities in the USA ozonate the water and

the U.S. Baval Academy ozonates their pool. Simple ozone adapters can

be installed in pools and hot tubs that eleminate the need for any

chemicals.

Sodium Chlorite can be used in hot tubs and pools. It does a better

job and does not present the hazards of chlorine although it smells

identical to it.

Chlorine, bromine and fluoride will cause a build up of arterial

plaques and will cause heart disease. That is why they put it in our

water supply. The industrial/medical complex is evil...

Very interesting, . I did read that fluoride is probably an

essential element, but it has not been possible to prove that because

it is impossible to create a diet that does not have any fluorine. So

I'm glad to hear that CaFl is the natural form. We discussed tea as a

source of fluorine awhile back. So I will enjoy my liberal intake of

Kumbucha Tea even more now.

Fluoride is fluoride. There is no such thing as calcium fluoride or

sodium fluoride. It is the element that fluoride attaches itself to

that determines what it is called.

The body uses a small amount of fluoride as a part of the natural life

process. The increased levels are what become dangerous. Fluoride has

a very strong electrical potential that can convert normally harmless

substances to deadly toxins in a matter of seconds.

Dr. G. L. Waldbott, M.D., wrote 'A Struggle With Titans' in 1965 that

tells the story of this deadly toxin. He mentions a person who had a

topical fluoride treatment earlier in the day and received a Penicillin

shot a few hours later that died before he could leave his doctor's

office. There are multiple stories of a similar nature as well.

I strongly suggest that anyone really interested in this hot topic to

obtain a copy of this book and read it prior to pontificating on the

supposed benefits of fluoride in any form in our environment.

I wonder if this works well and if it is better for our health?

That looks like a good unit, however, they discredit the use of ozone

and I suspect that they are trying to make some claim that somehow

copper as is utilized in their system is somehow better. It may be

but I am very skeptical. Their units are expensive compared to other

ozone type generators on the market of which there are many.

It is true that ozone is rough on rubber and stainless steel but in

the water I don't know what problems it may present. Ozone has been

used for many years in sanitizing water and the Germans have

perfected the technology. I am sure that the arguments that this

manufacturer states against ozone are not realistic.

I personally use transcutaneous ozone in a steam sauna. It knocks out

everything that has made me sick. Friends come over when they are ill

and it fixes them too. As far as I am concerned, every home should

have an ozonated steam sauna. No more antibiotics etc... Ozone is the

answer.

I'm not all that hip about ozone---don't like the taste of ozonated

water. Just my experience. If it kills just about everything it will

also probably do a number on some of our friendly bacteria.
