In the modern world, our thyroids are bombarded by all types of
radiation. Detoxified iodine can help protect them.
To understand the relationship, one must know that iodine is a chemical element
required for the production of the essential hormones produced by and
concentrated in the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland actively absorbs iodine from the blood to make
and release these hormones into the blood, a process regulated by a pituitary
gland hormone.
Iodine deficiency can cause hypothyroidism, with symptoms such as extreme fatigue,
mental slowing, depression, weight gain, low basal body temperatures and even
goiters (enlargement of the thyroid). Iodine
deficiency is the leading cause of preventable
mental retardation that primarily develops among babies or small children
lacking the element. Other health effects that may possibly be related to iodine deficiency include
fibrocystic breast disease and cancer.
Some precautions should be observed when administering iodine; some individuals may
be sensitive or allergic to it. Also, it can be mildly toxic if taken orally,
especially in the presence of selenium deficiency. Too much iodine can also interfere with
the balance of the thyroid hormones and cause serious health problems.
Edgar Cayce, who was referred to as the father of holistic medicine by the
Journal of the American Medical Association, performed more than 9,000
"readings" of individuals' in order to help people with a myriad of
health conditions. He recommended iodine for stimulating the thyroid and
protecting it from radiation. He endorsed a form of natural iodine that was processed in a
specific way; this special form has been called "detoxified iodine." The process involves electrically charging naturally occurring
iodine so that the raw form is transmuted into the atomic state.
Cayce believed that sufficient amounts of the vibration of this detoxified iodine
could not only adjust a dysfunctional thyroid, but also assist with a host of
glandular imbalances as well as eliminating bacteria, fungi, and viruses. How
many of us might be unaware we may have a dysfunctional thyroid? It was the
single most recommended treatment in Cayce's readings.
USAGE/DIRECTIONS:
Detoxified Iodine 1/2 oz: 4-6 week supply
Take 1 drop in 3 to 6 oz
water or topically for the first day, increasing 1 drop each day for 5 days.
Give yourself 2 days off and then repeat for five days. Follow this routine for
three weeks. Then you can take 5 drops daily and work your way up slowly as
long as there is no discomfort. Most people stabilize at 8 to 10 drops daily;
some may need up to 12 to 15 drops. Once you have raised your levels, it may be
okay to cut back a bit and it's okay to skip a day once in a while.
RECOMMENDED:
8 am to 12 noon on an empty stomach 30 minutes before or 1 hour after meals,
medications and/or supplements. Taking it after 4 PM could raise your energy
levels and leave you not being able to sleep at night.
INGREDIENTS:
This iodine is reduced to a 1% concentration in
100% ethyl alcohol and electro-magnetically transmuted (while being suspended
in a wet bath containing a mild acid solution) into the Atomic state. (200
micrograms iodine per drop)
The History of Iodine The discovery of iodine, - like most discoveries, was a fortuitous accident. The most fortuitous accident
- in the history of medicine, is one story many of us are familiar with: the
- discovery of penicillin. We've all heard the stories of the mold ruining the
- cultures and how suddenly, a mind shift occurred and bingo, the birth of
- antibiotics. Few realize that penicillin had been discovered a lot earlier,
- back in the late 1800's by a medical student. But, sadly, the world wasn't
- ready for it and, the haughtiness of physicians at that time would not allow
- them to look upon a mere student's discovery with more than condescending
- curiosity. Even fewer are aware that Pasteur discovered and wrote up the first
- antibiotic experiment, in which he watched a substance gobble up his bacteria
- specimens. That "substance" was garlic.
In 1811 when Bernard - Courtois (1777-1838) discovered iodine, he was not searching for a way to heal
- his fellow humans. On the contrary; he was looking for a way to kill his fellow
- humans. Napoleon's army at the time required huge quantities of gunpowder and
- supplies were running short. Saltpeter (potassium nitrate—KNO3—sometimes
- spelled saltpeter) is a major component in gunpowder and requires an abundant
- source of sodium carbonate to be manufactured. Sodium carbonate is extracted
- from wood ashes, but the war had gone on so long that they'd run out of willow
- wood, the preferred source. Someone suggested using dried seaweed (burnt to
- ash), which seemed to be abundant off the coasts of Normandy and Brittany. The
- suggestion worked and the French were back in business, making gunpowder and
- killing people.
However, in the process - of making saltpeter, excess sulfur compounds were created and they had to add
- sulfuric acid to the mixture to get rid of them. Courtois accidentally added a
- bit too much acid one day, and poof, a violet vapor cloud appeared and condensed
- onto the colder, metal objects and formed lustrous crystals. Courtois, a
- working chemist, realized he'd created something new. He performed a few minor
- experiments with this new substance and noted that it combined well with
- phosphorous, hydrogen, and a few metals, but did not combine easily with oxygen
- or carbon. Furthermore, he discovered that it was quite explosive when mixed
- with ammonia and did not decompose when burned.
He suspected he'd - discovered a new element, but the war (Napoleon having stretched the
- government's coffers to the point of bankruptcy) was the focus of France's
- spending at the time, and without funding, he could experiment no further.
- Besides, there was a war to fight. So he turned his discovery over to the
- French chemist (and physicist) Charles-Bernard Désormes (1777-1862), who, with
- the help of his son-in-law Nicolas Clément (1779-1841) performed the scientific
- investigation into this new element.
Courtous, for some - reason, also gave samples to Louis-Joseph Gay-Lussac (1778-1850) and André M.
- Ampère (1775–1836).
Both teams went to work - investigating this new substance and in November of 1813, at a meeting of the
- Imperial Institute of France, Désormes and Clément announced their discovery. A
- few days later Gay-Lussac and André M. Ampère published that this was either an
- element or a compound of oxygen. No one yet, knew for sure exactly what it was,
- until the English chemist Sir Humphry Davy got into the picture and did some
- experiments with samples given him by Ampère.
Davy published, on the - 10th of December, 1813, a little piece in which he described this substance's
- qualities as being similar to chlorine, and that it was quite analogous to both
- Fluorine and Chlorine. He named it Iodine from a Greek word for "violet
- colored" but the hubbub did not stop there. Suddenly the priority rights
- over the substance were in dispute (who did what first and so on) while both
- Gay-Lussac and Davy acknowledged that Courtois was the discoverer.
Later, Jean Lugol - discovered that bonding iodine to a mineral (potassium) made it water soluble,
- and allowed for the later discovery of iodine's antiseptic qualities. Iodine
- naturally dissolves in alcohol, but not in water until it is first bonded to
- the elements potassium or chlorine.
The use of antiseptics, - the general use of antiseptics and acceptance of the theory of germs, was far
- off. Iodine made it's leap into medical history when a Swiss physician, Dr Jean
- François Condet announced that iodine could reduce goiters (enlarged thyroids).
At this moment, modern - medical science is born. For the first time in history we have a specific
- disorder that is relieved by a specific treatment, which was discovered through
- empirical reasoning (experimentation based upon trial and error).
Linus Paulding's - Research on Iodine
Iodine is an essential - component of the thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4),
- and is therefore essential for normal thyroid function. To meet the body's
- demand for thyroid hormones, the thyroid gland traps iodine from the blood and incorporates
- it into thyroid hormones that are stored and released into the circulation when
- needed. In target tissues, such as the liver and the brain, T3, the
- physiologically active thyroid hormone, can bind to thyroid receptors in the
- nuclei of cells and regulate gene expression. In target tissues, T4, the most
- abundant circulating thyroid hormone, can be converted to T3 by
- selenium-containing enzymes known as deiodinases. In this manner, thyroid
- hormones regulate a number of physiologic processes, including growth,
- development, metabolism, and reproductive function.
- The regulation of thyroid function is a complex process that involves the brain
- (hypothalamus) and pituitary gland. In response to thyrotropin-releasing
- hormone (TRH) secretion by the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland secretes
- thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates iodine trapping, thyroid
- hormone synthesis, and release of T3 and T4 by the thyroid gland. The presence
- of adequate circulating T4 and T3 feeds back at the level of both the
- hypothalamus and pituitary, decreasing TRH and TSH production (diagram). When
- circulating T4 levels decrease, the pituitary increases its secretion of TSH,
- resulting in increased iodine trapping as well as increased production and
- release of both T3 and T4. Iodine deficiency results in inadequate production
- of T4. In response to decreased blood levels of T4, the pituitary gland
- increases its output of TSH. Persistently elevated TSH levels may lead to
- hypertroph.
