RE: Iodine: An Essential Nutrient and Holistic Option for Detoxing Heavy Metals and Halogens
Wow, I have never tried it yet, thank you! I will be picking some up for our family, it makes so much sense after I remember they make people take iodine after they have been exposed to radiation.
Great, we're so excited that this info reaches people who will benefit!
Yes, iodine has NUMEROUS benefits to the body. In this post, we are highlighting only one of its many incredible properties, but protection from radiation is another AWESOME ability of iodine!
There are actually several forms of iodine. The body most easily absorbs and uses NASCENT IODINE.
Radioactive iodine (I-131) is used in some western medicine procedures, and it is the form released after nuclear events. The thyroid does not differentiate between the nascent form your body needs and the radioactive form that is actually harmful--it will just soak up whatever is available in the environment.
Potassium iodide is often used after nuclear events to detox the body. It works, but you don't need that form, and the body has to work to break it down. Nascent iodine, however, is the "ready-to-go" version that is immediately useable. Having enough iodine in the body before radiation exposure is ideal.
There is much more to share about iodine, including how important it is for brain development in utero and through childhood!
Thanks for the additional information. Nascent iodine, got it! :) You explained it well. I'm looking forward to more of your posts.
You're welcome!
