Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Historically Doctors used to consider Iodine the miracle treat all drug. They didn't know how it worked, and over time during the 1940's they were quietly convinced to convert from Iodes, and Iodines of the natural solutions - to the more profitable hormonal and synthetic pharmaceutical variants. Naturally this only helped the profitability of the pharmaceutical industry. Secondly there is much historical evidence that dosages in excess of 100 times the RDA were used successfully for the treatment of various ailments and naturally goiter. Thirdly the iodines mixed in salts must compete with the salts for absorption. This has been studied to greatly reduce the amount of intake of the iodine. Incidentially only 50ug of iodine a day is required to hold off goiter, and it since it was successful in doing this inspite of its competition with the salt - it was still declared a 'success' even though we are all still deficient of it without consuming iodine supplement (or seaweed daily). IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT A CHILD THAT IS IODINE DEFICIENT WILL HAVE A IQ UP TO 15 POINTS LOWER, ADD A IRON DEFICIENCY AND YOU CAN ADD 8 POINTS. YOU MIGHT THINK ITS NOT ALOT BUT WHAT IF THEIR IQ IS ONLY 80, IT THEN DROPS TO 57! ADDITIONALLY IT LOWERS METABOLISM GREATLY. DOES 'DUMB AND FAT' RING A BELL?? Consider the following article. http://www.vrp.com/art/1781.asp Remember NEVER take antiseptic iodine - its poison, as it has iospropyl alcohal. Instead seek the oral kind (its usually found in health food stores) Consider Japans intake of daily iodine: The literature search revealed that 60 million mainland Japanese consume a daily average of 13.8 mg of elemental iodine, and they are one of the healthiest nations based on overall well being and cancer statistics.7 Japanese women do not stop consuming iodine-rich foods during pregnancy, and Japanese fetuses are exposed to maternal peripheral levels of iodide at concentrations of 10-5M to 10-6M. Either the Japanese are mutants capable of surviving on toxic levels of iodine or we have been grossly deceived. The human body needs at least 100 times the RDA, which was established very recently in 1980 and confirmed in 1989!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 There was one famous study of intake of iodine by the Japanese that was found to be severely flawed; and I believe it was many years later that the problem was discovered. What happened was that the study measured the intake of the iodine material [i believe it was kelp] and used that quantity in the reports. However, those who interpreted the tests thought the Japanese were taking the pure [dehydrated] material; while in fact the kelp contains about 90% water. So in fact the subjects were ingesting only 10% as much iodine as originally reported. Unfortunately, this error was not discovered until the false results had been propagated far and wide for years; so the erroneous info is still out there. Consider Japans intake of daily iodine: The literature search revealed that 60 million mainland Japanese consume a daily average of 13.8 mg of elemental iodine, and they are one of the healthiest nations based on overall well being and cancer statistics.7 Japanese women do not stop consuming iodine-rich foods during pregnancy, and Japanese fetuses are exposed to maternal peripheral levels of iodide at concentrations of 10-5M to 10-6M.
