a few more comments from the myer's book

[Guest guest]

Here's a few more comments from the Myer's book. Looks to me like getting a good supply of zinc with the iodine could be critical.LynnThe use of sea kelp gives an excellent supply of diiodotyrosine

which is essential for the entire body structure and especially important in

the metabolism of the ovary, thyroid, and testis, and probably all of the

endocrine glands. Primitive people are seldom fat. It has been shown by Stambul

that diiodotyrosine acts as a stimulant to liver cells to excrete cholesterol

into the bile. It should therefore, be a valuable addition to the treatment of

atherosclerosis and obesity. Kelp is also a good source of trace minerals.

Fish eggs, which were a most important part of the diet of

the primitive people, are both high I iodine and zinc, and especially high in

the nucleic acids of chromatin compounds, from which the developing fish forms

the genes of it's structure.

It has been repeatedly shown by studies of children with

goiter in England and Switzerland

that iodine alone does not cure gather. There is always something else needed,

and this something else seems to vary with the location of the individuals

tested. It is believed this additional element is minerals in the form of zinc

and magnesium and in those areas where magnesium iodide and zinc iodide are

found in the drinking water, good bone structure and high resistance to dental

caries is found. Remarkable improvement is seen in thyroid nodules even to

their complete disappearance, by the addition of zinc ion and zinc iodide.
