Re: 2008 WAPF Wise Traditions Conference

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the report--I'm glad to hear the conference was so good

this year! I really, really wanted to go for the first time this year,

but when I learned I had four exams scheduled this week I decided I

couldn't afford the time. Hopefully I can make it next year (by the

way, did you hear any talk of where the conference will be held next

year?)

I would have loved to have heard your talks, and the iodine track was

what I would have chosen as well. So, can you give us the scoop on

iodine in a nutshell? I've heard lots of good things about it but have

not had time to do serious library research on the topic. Right now

I'm taking up to 6 drops of Lugol's a day as an experiment. Haven't

noticed a thing after several weeks.

Sorry you couldn't come! You can get the DVD of my Saturday talk...

would be almost like being there. Word on the street is Chicago next

year.

In a nutshell, hypothyroidism is much more common than stats indicate,

and stats indicate it is very common (need to look at my notes after I

straighten things out). Therapeutic doses of iodine are needed for

virtually everyone to clear out fluoride and bromine. Quantitatively,

bromine is much higher for exposure, but mostly stored in fat. I

didn't see anything comparing toxicity and personally suspect fluoride

is more toxic. Iodine can help both hypo and hyper. Occasionally

there is a case of hyper due to the high-dose iodine, but Brownstein

sees this on average once a year and has treated over 4,000 and

expects by the end of the year 5,000 people. Adrenal problems should

be fixed before fixing thyroid problems. Excess cortisol will cause

thyroid to react by deliberate hypothyroid in order to slow metabolism

when body is in a net catabolic state, so any treatment will be

sabotaged unless excess cortisol is fixed. As covered in my talk,

cortisol reaction to stress is reduced and focused goal-oriented

behavior replaces fight-or-flight when endocannibinoid system is

working properly, which requires arachidonic acid as the substrated,

needs vitamins a and d, and maybe other factors. As covered in Jack

's talk, MSG stimulates excess cortisol production. As covered

in my talk, arachidonic acid-derived endocannibinoids protect against

glutamate toxicity.

Can anyone suggest online sources to start learning what about iodine

supplementation

and undiagnosed hypothyroidism?

I noticed that Ann Marie posted some photos from the conference here:

and in the Flickr NN pool here (see pages 1 and 2):

I didn't say arachidonic acid promoted inflammation.

=============================================

I wanted to be reminded what it was so I googled it and here's 2 sites

that have it all wrong.

http://www.cbn.com/health/naturalhealth/drsears_arachidonicacid.aspx

OMEGA 3 BENEFITS

Understanding (AA) Arachidonic Acid - (Omega 6 – Pro Inflammatory Fat)

Dr. Barry Sears

Zone Living

CBN.com – There are two types of fats that fall into the category of

" good " fats. These are the monounsaturated fats and the long chain

omega 3 fats. You get monounsaturated fats from olive oil, selected

nuts and avacados. Long chain omega 3 fats come from fish and fish

oils. These are exceptionally powerful allies in your quest for a

longer and healthier life.

However, there are some fats you want to restrict in your diet. These

are saturated fats, trans fats and (AA) arachidonic acid. I consider

these to be really " bad " fats. Arachidonic acids are found primarily in

fatty red meats, egg yolks and organ meats. This particular

polyunsaturaed fat may be the most dangerous fat know when consumed in

excess and is known as an Omega 6 fat. In fact, you can inject

virtually every type of fat (even saturated fat and cholesterol) into

rabbits and nothing happens. However, if you inject (AA) arachidonic

acid into the same rabbits they are dead within three minutes. The

human body needs " some " arachidonic acid, but too much can be toxic.

The Arachidonic Acid Pathway

----------

by drdoc on-line

 

The arachidonic acid pathway constitutes one of the main mechanisms

for the production of pain and inflammation, as well as controlling

homeostatic function.

A symporter, spelled with a y, is a channel or pump that transports

two things in the same direction.

They are the little pathways into your cells to uptake iodine. I have a

query out to Breast Cancer Choices and also Dr. Brownstein to email me

a concise paragraph to explain.

The very best thing you can do is join the iodine group. I'm not

knowledgeable enough to help a lot. They have all the answers.
