Aquatic Ape Theory explains human need for large amounts of organic iodine

[Guest guest]

Following from an interesting blog:

human-need-for-large-amounts-of-organic-iodine/

Iodine deficiency is a recognized human concern. The problem is the

supplementation being done to add this to table salt is a chemical.

This is not organic. Thus poisonous. The ocean waters have traces of

iodine, thus salt from dried ocean water should contain organic

iodine. All forms of ocean plants and ocean animals should have

iodine in them.

Barefoot Herbalist MH makes some experimental tree iodine tinctures

made from his black walnut trees. A couple of self experimenters

have made raving reviews about this iodine, maybe they are the ones

suffering from true iodine deficiency.

In the aquatic ape theory, the human ancestors were isolated, shore,

ocean dwellers. They had all the iodine they needed for brain

development. So humans became smarter and smarter. Now that iodine

shortages are common as humans lived farther inland, people have

become dumb and dumber.

Chemical iodine is a poison and should never be ingested. This is my

personal opinion. Sure chemical iodine kills germs, including the

human's own germs. Natural occurring organic iodine should prove

selective in weeding out the parasites and letting the human

organism thrive.

My current solution is to eat more wild ocean food than land food.

While sea vegetables are exquisitely good for health, the Aquatic Ape

Hypothesis (note that it's far from the status of Theory) holds

absolutely no water, no pun intended. The claims are unproven and

proponents of the AAH are more than willing to change their claims

each time one is disproven. It's cognitive dissonance at its finest,

clinging to a disproven belief in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Here's an article that I wrote on it some time ago:
