Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 what about the people who are deathly allergic to iodine and have A-fib??? would you risk giving then the iodine and gambling if they die from it? I really hope NOT! nancie from another site We are also pursuing iodine deficiency as the underlying cause of many of these conditions through 24 hour urinary iodine challenge testing. I also am pursuing iodine treatment as the possible " cure " for atrial fibrillation, and have had success already in converting patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter back to sinus rhythm. This allows them to get off Coumadin, which is a huge benefit for active folks (or anybody for that matter!). Another area we are particularly strong is in the prevention and treatment of coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure in those patients who do not wish to proceed to invasive cardiology procedures like angiograms, stents or bypass surgery, or have had these done in the past and they have now " failed. " We use testosterone and HGH (if the patient can afford it) in men and progesterone in women with angina as well as nitrates, beta blockers and exercise (both aerobic endurance exercise and weight training) with excellent results. We do Advanced Lipid Testing for homocysteine, hsCRP, Lipoprotein(a), fibrinogen, fasting insulin, HDL and LDL subclassification blood testing to get to the root cause of their coronary disease, and treat elevations in these critically important values primarily with nutrients likem compounded high dose B vitamins, non-flush niacin, lumbrokinase or nattokinase, high dose antioxidants, fish oil, Co Q 10, exercise and testosterone (or progesterone in the case of women). Testosterone (and HGH) is also CRITICAL in the treatment of congestive heart failure as they do increase myocardial contractility when combined with CoQ10, D-ribose, L-carnitine and endurance exercise. Strengthening the heart muscle is achievable in many patients and improves their exercise capacity and quality of life dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Well, it's not in as many things as it used to be. For example bread now has bromide instead of iodine in it, and milk producers are not using iodine based disinfectants anymore so there's less of it in milk. However, there is an increasing amount of bromide, fluoriode, and mercury which seems to be nearly unavidable as they are in so much these days. But anyway... Thyroid hormones are basically made from atoms of iodine. There's more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_hormone " Thyroxine is produced by attaching iodine atoms to the ring structures of tyrosine molecules. Thyroxine(T4) contains four iodine atoms. Triiodothyronine(T3) is identical to T4, but it has one less iodine atom per molecule. " " Iodide is actively absorbed from the bloodstream by a process called 'iodine trapping' and concentrated in the thyroid follicles (If there is a deficiency of dietary iodine, the thyroid enlarges in an attempt to trap more iodine, resulting in goitre). Via a reaction with the enzyme thyroperoxidase, iodine is covalently bound to tyrosine residues in the thyroglobulin molecules, forming monoiodotyrosine (MIT) and diiodotyrosine (DIT). Linking two moieties of DIT produces thyroxine. Combining one particle of MIT and one particle of DIT produces triiodothyronine. " " Proteases digest iodinated thyroglobulin, releasing the hormones T4 and T3, the biologically active agents central to metabolic regulation. Thyroxine is supposedly a prohormone and a reservoir for the most active and main thyroid hormone T3. T4 is converted as required in the tissues by deiodinases. Deficiency of deiodinase can mimic an iodine deficiency. " There's more on the website.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 well, I don't believe they are added to " everything " . when you take a concentrated dose of iodine supplementation- it provokes a hypersensitivity reaction with the IGe antibody complex producing an allergic reaction in the body, because the person's genetics have been programmed through family history in that patient; OR they have been re-programmed through repeated exposure to the iodine in a patient who already has an auto-immune disease that automatically sets them up for acquired allergies. from another site We are also pursuing iodine deficiency as the underlying cause of many of these conditions through 24 hour urinary iodine challenge testing.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 thyroid medications have iodine in the molecular form and it is accepted but not fully understood- that people who have auto-immune diseases and/or a genetic profile that sets them up for iodine allergy will not usually have hypersensitivity to thyroid medications in the pill form. so, while we have to avoid iodine supplementation, we can still take our thyroid medications. nancie Re: from another site > > what about the people who are deathly allergic to iodine and have A- fib??? > would you risk giving then the iodine and gambling if they die from it?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 trace amounts, not therapeutic amounts. I am always amazed at the results when I use higher amounts of certain nutrients like folic acid and vitamin D and magnesium. the medical community/big pharma is just stuck on iodine. Ppl who react poorly to medical dyes and organic iodine think that means they are allergic to inorganic iodine---not true.
