RE: Methyl Bromide Use in California and AUTISM

January 22, 2009

Gabby,

This is exactly what my iodide suppliment tells us. This is me, exactly

after years of searching Drs could never figure it out however, my MD/ND

endocrinologist did.

Excellent post!

[ ] Methyl Bromide Use in California and AUTISM

I think this is a connection worth looking at. Calfornia autism rates are

really high and California is apparently the highest user of bromide :-((

The hidden culprit could be “bromine,” a common ingredient in thousands of

fresh and packaged foods, medicines, and consumer products. . .

Bromine disrupts your thyroid gland but doesn't show up as a problem in

thyroid tests...

In recent years bromine toxicity has become a near epidemic because it's so

widely used in food and popular home products. And here's what it does in

your body . . . Bromide is rapidly absorbed in the intestinal tract, and

because its size and weight is very close to iodine, the two compete for

binding in the body, especially in the thyroid gland.

This is an extremely important concept to understand . . .

If you build up too much bromine in your system, it'll crowd out the iodine,

binding to your iodine receptors and causing your body to release iodine.

The result is an iodine deficiency and a condition called “brominated

thyroid.”

Fatigue, headache, weight gain, depression, feeling cold, and a host of

other problems can follow. And your doctor won't know a bromine-induced

dysfunctional thyroid is the cause, because . . . Standard thyroid tests

will not distinguish between the good iodinated thyroid and the bad

brominated thyroid.

In other words, your thyroid will look normal . . . when it isn't!

Love, Gabby. :0)
