Now, to get to today's post - iodine is an essential nutrient for detoxing heavy metals and halogens!
Iodine is an essential nutrient. The body does not make iodine, so you have to consume it. The modern food supply is no longer a reliable source of iodine, and 95% of Americans are deficient in it.
There are iodine receptors in every cell of the body. Iodine stimulates the production of hormones, the body’s chemical messengers.
Because we live in an increasingly toxic world, iodine supplementation is crucial. Pharmaceuticals, food, water, and air contain high levels of heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic, and the halogens chlorine, fluorine, and bromine.
- Mercury is used in dental fillings, vaccines, and seafood.
- The city of Flint, Michigan poisoned its citizens by using lead pipes for the water system.
- Cadmium is found in some foods, cigarette smoke, and batteries.
- Arsenic is used to treat wood for building homes.
- Chlorine is added to swimming pools and municipal water supplies and is used to manufacture paper.
- Fluorine (in the form of fluoride) is used in dental treatments and added to water supplies.
- Bromine is found in commercially processed baked goods, sports drinks, jet fuel, and pesticides.
All of these elements compete for the iodine receptor sites in the body. Without enough iodine in the system, detrimental heavy metals and halogens inhibit the optimal production of hormones and disrupt enzymes.
Hormonal dysfunctions manifest as metabolic disorders and diseases such as:
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Hyper- and hypothyroidism
- Goiter
- Cystic conditions
With enough iodine in the system, hormone production and enzyme activity runs more efficiently and metabolism is optimized. Iodine preferentially binds to the iodine receptor sites in the body, and iodine supplementation immediately begins the excretion of halogens and heavy metals.
Iodine is fundamental to optimal health and can protect from environmental toxins.

So so so important!
YES the importance of iodine cannot be overstated!
We provide this information but encourage everyone to use it as a jumping off point for their own research.
I remember my parents using Iodine on our cuts and wounds when we were kids. It's interesting how far we have gotten from some of our basic needs. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome, and an excellent point that we will address in another post - iodine has MANY uses! It is an important element for the human body to run optimally, and it is also an antiseptic that can be used topically.
My parents used to keep a vile of it in the fridge and it was meant to be drunk in case of nuclear fall out :-)
Do you feel like the rise in hypertension has led to more people cutting out salt which has in effect created the iodine deficiency? The Flint situation is much more complicated than just saying lead pipes poisoned people. The pipes themselves were coated and not immediately harmful. It was only after they ran excessive chemicals through the pipes to purify the water from the Flint river that the protective coating was stripped away and the lead leached into the water.
Iodine used to be added to our food source, specifically bread, until the late 1970s. At which point two scientist (can't remember their names off the top of my head) wrote a paper on how iodine was actually bad for the body. They had no scientific study information included, and no peer review done on their own individual "research" which was done in less than a years time, but regardless it was enough "proof" for companies to start removing iodine from bread and replacing it with bromine - the fire retardant chemicals - which actually will kick iodine off of the neuroreceptors to replace them. So not only are we not getting iodine from food anymore, but people who eat bread (all but PepperRidge Farms) is make with bromated bread and we lose what iodine we do have. Gee why the sudden massive jump in autoimmune disorders (mostly thyroid related)...? There is SO MUCH information in regard to iodine that is massively beneficial. From my own personal experience of someone with mercury poisoning - taking iodine has helped me greatly. I actually started taking it in pill form and received some benefits, but when I started taking the nascent iodine by @gardenofeden the benefits increased dramatically! My son is also 4 years old, I have been detoxing him from heavy metals he got from me in utero and via breastfeeding after he was born. I started detoxing him when I noticed the symptoms on the autism spectrum at a year old. He showed some progress the first two years but definatly not even close to regular development. The last 8 months we have been @gardenofeden he has also been taking the liquid nascent iodine daily and in this short amount of time he: Started speaking at least a few words strung together, he learned the sign language alphabet, he used foam letters to spell out words like Dream and then he says the word, his overall demeanor is much more pleasant and he actually wants to play with the other kids and interact with people, he is calmer and loves to snuggle, etc. I could go on and on about all the improvements he has had since we first came. From what I remember reading, iodine is suppose to be in every cell in the body. Unless you are eating a ton of ocean veggies (which most are mercury contaminated) there is no chance you are getting enough iodine without a supplement.
The iodine added to iodized salt is #1 the bare minimum required to prevent goiter, not the amount needed for thriving health, #2 processed with other pollutants like chloride, and #3 not iodine but iodiDe with a "d" and not the most available form for the body.
Yes, decreased iodized salt increase has somewhat added to iodine deficiency, but there are far better sources of iodine available and the kind in salt is really not awesome to start with.
Deficiency is caused by a number of factors, including modern agricultural practices that strip the soil of lots of important nutrients, including iodine, as well as an overwhelming toxic load in the modern environment.
Lead is harmful to the human body. Whatever the cause, it leeched into drinking water in Flint and the people are experiencing an unfortunate health crisis because of it. Supplementation with iodine is extremely important to countering lead exposure, and we are aware of public initiatives to get high quality iodine to the people of Flint.
Well, most of those sources are a bit old. Then again, none of these sources says that you have to consume more iodine to be healthy. In fact, most of them merely link a dysfunctional thyroid to other diseases (which is like saysing heart disease may kill you). Yeah, iodine is important (which is not something I doubt). Our body obviously needs it because it is taken up against charge and concentration gradient. However, do you have any sources that specifically support your arguments in your post? Your statistics cannot be found anywhere.
Chloride is contained in salt (NaCl) it is not a contaminant. Here is a link to a post written by a PhD toxicologist writing about salt: https://steemit.com/health/@sco/is-salt-intake-bad-for-human-health-and-is-there-a-difference-between-the-chemically-refined-table-salt-and-natural-salt-english
I am guessing you are using this post to sell your iodine. There is such a thing as too much iodine. Messing around with these things can be dangerous.
This sounds very fishy to me. Cheers
You read 50 articles in 6 hours?
The human body obviously needs iodine because it is the foundational building block for T3 & T4 and is essential to every chemical reaction that takes place. And it is an antioxidant that prevents cancer. And it regulates metabolism. And it regulates the cardiovascular system. And it detoxes heavy metals and halogens. etc. etc.
It is a VERY important topic to research, because iodine deficiency is a serious threat to public health that almost the entire population is dealing with. We recommend you do not take our word for anything, but educate yourself on the matter!
From skimming the article you link:
A popular misconception, but not only is it incorrect but it is extremely harmful. Fluoride is a neurotoxin. There's no point in reading anything else if that author is so severely misguided.
Also incorrect. A) We don't sell anything. B) We highly value health, know many options for activating it, & give away our resources to educate & empower others.
Do more research before jumping to conclusions.
It is more accurate to say that you cannot find the statistics anywhere. Which statistics are you unable to find? We might be willing to do the research for you again.
Again, I am not saying Iodine is not important. A current scientific source that iodine detoxes heavy metals would actually be nice! I searched google scholar and ncbi but could not find any study.
Yep I did some research. Did not read anything that supported wide spread iodine deficiency in the US.
Well, your word against that of a PhD toxicologist. Fluoride is helpful in preventing caries - check out some studies. Yes it can also be dangerous (for example drinking too much tea can cause skeletal fluorosis - so should we not drink tea?). Also you are not supposed to eat tooth paste.... It is not a conclusion but a guess. If I am wrong I apologize!
Well, for example that 95% of Americans are deficient?
Glad I can motivate you to do some research!
Also, why did you repost this? You know, @gardenofeden posted this last year...
Cheers
For the record, we value free thinking and experience higher than indoctrination and institutionalized learning.
Fluoride does not make a notable difference in preventing tooth decay. Here are several references:

95% statistic is based on the extensive work of Dr. David Brownstein:

Check out some of his books.
This is a VERY important topic that deserves attention and consideration. As we disclose in the very first sentence :
Yes, I do value that also.

As a science student I would never use your first source because it may cite scientific sources, but it is about as trustworthy as some of your followers try make my posts seem. Also this source does speak about water fluoridation, not topical application (toothpaste). I am not a fan of water fluoridation either, because research did not find a consensus. The sources on this website actually does not speak against fluoridated toothpaste (at least the first few citations).
Books are usually also not the best source (unless they are academic text books). Furthermore, you cannot extrapolate the data from one doctor to the entire country.
Again, posting something twice and getting rewards for it can be considered reward abuse. This has been brought to my attention by a curie curator (I was not looking for this). I just want to make one thing very clear here. I really am not against you and your community. I do appreciate that you are trying to feed people who do not have food (I do that to when I have time). My problem is with this post. It lacks balance to actually educate people on the matter. EVERYTHING has side-effects. So it is entirely wrong (from a scientific standpoint) to only talk about positive effects. Even some of your 60 sources clearly state that iodine can be overdosed. And please dont think every scientist is controlled by the government because they are not. I am working in a research lab and it is hard work and consumes a ton of time. There never was a government agent in our labs telling us that we have to change something. I am actually working on water filters to rid our water of BPA, estrogen and other hormone disrupters. So in a way, I am on your side. This is not personal.
Cheers!
We shared that link so you could go directly to the scientific sources yourself.
But you are unwilling to do your own research, as evidenced not only by this but by the fact that you did not look at the dozens and dozens of references we already provided.
How can you possibly call yourself a student of science when you are so grossly biased?
You have attacked, slandered, libeled, and threatened us - and you want to pretend that you are not against us or that it is not personal?
You suggest we publish false information to harm people for personal gain, and that we are here to abuse the system. You are making dishonorable, unfounded, IGNORANT accusations.
I am calling bullshit on that one.

Don't believe everything just because it's in the internet.
Please do more research, it is a neurotoxin. Check out some of the studies on people who have been "normal" before surgery and woke up schizophrenic. Did you know anesthesia is actually a very heavily concentrated dose of fluoride? Please for the love of all that is good in this world don't use google or yahoo or bing or any of that crap to research :-)
link me a scientific source and I'll gladly look into it. I am a PhD scientist (food toxicologist, actually), so I don't use google and yahoo, don't you worry.
But blog's and hysteric "info" homepages don't qualify as scientific source either. Those people are normally either heavily misguided or trying to sell you something.
You are a PhD scientist and you are asking ME to provide you something...? LOL Wow. If you are really a scientist then do some research!
Don't believe everything you receive from government sources, as they have already proven themselves to be liars and thieves.
http://fluoridealert.org/wp-content/uploads/grandjean-20141.pdf
science is NOT the government. If u'd read my post on salt, u'd know that science is sometimes critizising governmental actions (like recommending salt reduction in food).
And lol, "www.flouridalert.org" is supposed to be you unbiased scientific source on this? For real?
Who do you think funds the NIH?
Clearly, you did not follow the link and instead are choosing to write off this information based on personal bias. Go take a look at the article and read through their references too before you come back here, Dr. Cognitive Dissonance.
Great comment! I think this post lacks a lot of scientific evidence, which is why I am writing a response to it based on scientific facts. Cheers!
I'm linking to your post in an article about teeth. Great post here, thank you.
