Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Iodine can stress the adrenals which affects your blood pressure. If you want to understand more I would recommend reading Dr. Brownstein's Iodine and Salt books. This will give you the foundation you need. Steph Ok so why did the heart issue go away?> This stuff is not that easy to understand.So if the iodine can't suppress my thyroid...when I had too much...why did my heart issues stop when I stopped taking the iodoral and prolamine iodine? Got any guesses there? It seems to me, in my particular case, too much iodine did MORE than just get passed off into my urine and taken out of my body.Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This provides the first evidence for direct effects of low doses of BPA on disruption of thyroid hormone action within cells by competitively displacing T3 from the receptor and by recruiting a corepressor to the thyroid receptor, thus suppressing activation of transcription of thyroid hormone-regulated genes And on land... http://forums.hpathy.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12284 & SID=58ad2588-cd7e-477bfd56-b9f4zd52-acfd846e & title=homeopathy-and-bisphenol-a-pollution<...if the iodine can't suppress my thyroid...when I had too much......Got any guesses there? It seems to me, in my particular case, too much iodine did MORE than just get passed off into my urine and taken out of my body.> Column 17 (also called "group VIIa" )- in the Periodic Table, with elements of similar characteristics -contains all the halogens, of which iodine is one member. Other halogens include fluorine, chlorine, and bromine.Odd phenomenon in biologic systems: One halogen can often not be distinguished from another. Thus, a chlorinated compound can cleverly disguise itself as an iodinated compound, a brominated compound can mimic an iodinated compound, etc.What this means in thyroid health is that, should sufficient iodine be lacking in the body, i.e., iodine deficiency, other halogens can gain entry into the thyroid gland. While a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) molecule may be recognized as an iodinated compound, it certainly doesn't act like an iodinated compound once it's in the thyroid's cells and can disrupt thyroid function (Porterfield 1998). Another group of chlorine-containing compounds, perchlorates, that contaminate groundwater and are found as pesticide residues in produce, are extremely potent thyroid-blockers (Greer 2002). Likewise, bromine-containing compounds, such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), widely used as flame retardants, also disrupt thyroid function (Zhou 2001). Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), found in Teflon non-stick cookware and stain-resistant products, has been associated with thyroid dysfunction (Melzer 2010). PFOA, incidentally, can disrupt thyroid dysfunction that will not show up in the TSH test used by primary care physicians and endocrinologists to screen for thyroid dysfunction. (In fact, the presumed champions of thyroid health, the endocrinology community, have proven a miserable failure in translating and implementing the findings from toxicological science findings to that of preserving or restoring thyroid health. They have largely chosen to ignore it.)We therefore navigate through a world teeming with halogenated thyroid blocking compounds. We should all therefore avoid such exposures as perchlorates in produce by rinsing thoroughly or purchasing organic, avoid non-stick cookware, avoid use or exposure to pesticides and herbicides. Another crucial means to block the entry of various halogenated compounds into your vulnerable thyroid: Be sure you are getting sufficient iodine. While it doesn't make your thyroid impervious to injury, iodine circulating in the blood in sufficient quantities and residing in sufficient stores in the thyroid gland provides at least partial protection from the halogenated impostors in your life http://heartscanblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/salvation-from-halogenation.htmlWith regards Lew From: Amy/728207 <lakotasiouxgrizzly2006@...>iodine Sent: Sun, December 12, 2010 9:46:47 PMSubject: Ok so why did the heart issue go away?> This stuff is not that easy to understand.
