Taking Synthroid over long periods of time may cause bone loss, which can
lead to osteoporosis.
From 1900 to
the 1960s almost every single U.S. physician used (iodine) supplements in
his or her practice for both hypo- and hyperthyroid, as well as many, many
other conditions-all with excellent results. In fact, iodine was considered
a panacea for all human ills. Today a phobia-generated by the medical
pharmaceutical misinformation machine against iodine therapy- (to be
replaced by the patentable synthetic Levothyroxine Sodiumm, such as
synthroid) has caused physicians to avoid iodine, which is a powerful
treatment, like the plague; or suffer at the hands of the drug companies.
By avoiding
iodine therapy, you could be missing out on the very link that could get you
well. Today we know that total body iodine fulfillment or sufficiency can
finally resolve tough, stubborn problems that resist all other treatments.
Called ortho-iodo-supplementation, this treatment employs elemental iodine
supplement drops used daily until the thyroid gland and all other
iodine-sensitive sites in the body have reached iodine sufficiency. Testing
will be the key to success, pointed out further.
The most
commonly difficult problems for which this therapy has been called a panacea
are fibrocystic breasts, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypo- and hyperthyroid
(with or without goiter), brain fog, constipation, obesity, diabetes,
hypertension (high blood pressure), and even some heart problems-most
notably irreversible arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation.
Why Iodine
is Important
Iodine is
detected in every organ and tissue in the body. It is found in high levels
in the thyroid gland, liver, lung, heart, and adrenal glands. It is found in
the highest concentrations in fat and muscle tissue.
Drug dilemma and depletion of iodine: Iodine
is depleted out of the thyroid gland and other tissues when thyroid hormone
medications are prescribed.
Iodine has
been considered so important that up until 20 years ago, it had been
routinely added to bread as a supplement. Now because of the politics of big
business and fear of iodine nullifying drugs, the
thyroid-toxin bromine has taken iodine’s place as a bread supplement.
And in the past 20 years there has been an increased prevalence of obesity,
diabetes, and hypertension, as well as more thyroid and breast cancers.
According to
Guy E. Abraham, MD, perhaps the world's most knowledgeable expert on iodine
and the thyroid, "Medical iodo-phobia by Big Pharma has reached pandemic
proportions. The drug company propaganda is highly contagious and has
wreaked havoc on the practice of medicine and still worse, iodine’s non-use
has wreaked havoc on the U.S. population. More misery and death in the U.S.
may have resulted from pharma medicine's unwarranted propaganda placing fear
of iodine in people, than from both World Wars combined."
That is
quite a statement from a former professor of Endocrinology and a man who
pioneered ways to assay iodine and minute quantities of hormones in the
body. This man in the past 35 years has received more biochemistry,
diagnostics, clinical chemistry, and hormone and iodine research awards than
anyone . And he has studied iodine therapy in high doses in over 4,000
people-publishing his findings in a document titled "The Iodine Project."
These findings once and for all dispelled the medical myth and fear of
iodine therapy.
Whole Body
Iodine Sufficiency
Thyroid-ologists
like Dr. Abraham have learned of the tremendous benefits of what they call
whole body iodine sufficiency-when the body is saturated with sufficient
iodine to supply all the tissues. Along the way, they have also discovered
some amazing things about current thyroid treatment, thyroid drugs, and
iodine. The very first thing discovered is that iodine is the treatment of
choice for hypo- and hyperthyroid problems-with or without goiter.
Doctors
could get as high as a 90% cure rate with hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid)
by using what would be considered high doses of iodine daily. Doses of six
to 37 mgs daily seemed equally effective in resolving cases of hypothyroid (underactive
thyroid). These doses, once considered normal, are now considered high by
most people in the medical profession. But is that industry right for that
interpretation due to the drug control they are under?
Whole body
iodine sufficiency is also a critical means to counter the side effects of
thyroid hormone medications (Synthroid, etc.).
Long-term use of these drugs is associated with
depletion of thyroid and tissue iodine levels, as well as increased
rates of cancer. Fluorescent scanning of the thyroid clearly shows how drug
and other medical thyroid therapies deplete the gland and body of critical
iodine.
Therefore if
you are going to take medication then, Synthroid or thyroid-destructive
therapies should never be taken without iodine therapy-something you will
never hear from your endocrinologist. If all Thyroidologists and
endocrinologists were forced to fluorescence scan their patients' thyroid
glands, they would then have to face up to the damages they are causing to
these glands and their patients!
In addition
to thyroid therapy, all thyroid patients should be on iodine therapy, with
the goal to reach a whole body iodine sufficiency. When this state is
reached, the following results (gathered using sophisticated lab testing,
fluorescence screening, clinical measurements, and a host of other high-tech
medical testing procedures) have been observed:
Goiter is
reduced or eliminated.
Stress on
the pituitary gland with resultant high TSH readings is eliminated.
Increased
excretion of thyroid poisons and heavy metals occurs via the kidneys.
The liver's
detoxification mechanisms are enhanced.
Obesity is
more easily overcome-in fact; iodine therapy may be a critical and unknown
factor in obesity.
Diabetes and
high blood pressure are more easily controlled.
Breast
tissue normalizes with decreased occurrences of fibrocystic breast disease.
Menopausal
symptoms are improved.
Polycystic
Ovary Syndrome can be cured.
Brain
function is better, with less brain fog.
Heart
function is better, with reduced arrhythmia problems.
And cancer
rates, especially of the thyroid and breast, are reduced.
Additionally, through the Iodine Project studies, Dr. Abraham discovered
that even patients with complete thyroidectomy (removal of the whole gland)
benefited from iodine therapy. Therefore it became known that iodine not
only improved the thyroid gland, but the other target areas of the body
where iodine and thyroid hormone are active.
The doctors
in the Project found that patients who achieved iodine sufficiency were
often able to resolve diabetes problems without insulin. They could
normalize blood pressure without medication. Goiters were resolved and those
taking thyroid hormone medication could greatly reduce or completely
eliminate these drugs.
Heart,
Arrhythmias, Fibrillation
As you have
no doubt read over and over , there is an epidemic of cardiac arrhythmias
and atrial fibrillation in this country. Expert Thyroidologists like Dr.
Abraham are convinced that the medical iodine phobia has a great deal to do
with this phenomenon. Adequate stores of iodine are necessary for a smooth
heartbeat.
Amazingly,
while medicine shuns iodine therapy, their most popular anti-fibrillation
drug, Amiodarone, actually is iodine in a toxic, sustained release form that
can be patented. This drug can produce a smooth heartbeat when the body has
accumulated about 1.5 grams (1,500 mgs) of iodine. This is exactly the same
amount of iodine retained by the human body when iodine sufficiency is
achieved by natural iodine supplementation by Rejuvenis Iodine in liquid
form.
The problem
with Amiodarone is that this form of iodine (which the medical profession
has a penchant for due to patent rights) is extremely toxic. The side
effects are most often too great for patients to regain a normal heartbeat.
Therefore it only makes sense to try to achieve iodine sufficiency with the
natural form of iodine instead such as Rejuvenis Iodine.
Caution!
If you are
about to try to achieve iodine sufficiency with slowly increasing doses of
liquid Rejuvenis Iodine, you must note that this is to be done in place of
Amiodarone-not simultaneously with it. So you will need to have your doctor
stop the drug therapy when you start the Rejuvenis iodine therapy. Therapy
usually starts at 6-drops of liquid Rejuvenis Iodine daily for a week. If no
problem arises, the dose increases slowly (every week to 10-drops daily). If
there are no problems along the way, and especially if your heart begins to
function more normally, you would stay at 10-drops daily for three to six
months. Or you might need three months of 15-drops of Rejuvenis Iodine
liquid per day to achieve full iodine sufficiency levels; testing on the
skin can be helpful.
Iodine test
Take the
dropper and squeeze out enough Rejuvenis Iodine to paint a 2" square spot on
your inner arm. If it disappears in less than eight hours, you desperately
need iodine. If it disappears in 24 hours, you also need iodine. If it
simply stays on your arm and begins to slowly fade in color after a full 24
hours, you have already reached iodine sufficiency.
You can
retest yourself every one to two weeks while on therapy. And you can use the
test to help you judge your individual dosage need for iodine at any time in
the future. Remember that contrary to current medical opinion, the real
thyroid experts have proven that most people who need iodine therapy require
from three to 37 mgs/day upward. Always start out slowly. Judge your
results, monitor your symptoms and any side effects, and use the thyroid
patch test to help you along the way.
As
discussed, a very few people are sensitive to the iodine metal. That is why
all iodine therapy must be accomplished with a good degree of caution. Use
the patch test to help you determine dose. Always start out at a low dose of
6 drops of Iodine daily. Increase your dose slowly-by adding one or two
drops daily each week until you reach 10-drops. If you experience problems
or side effects, stop your therapy and do the test again. If you are like
most people and continue to improve, your therapy is effective.
SIDE EFFECTS:
Side effects
among sensitive individuals include skin irritation; watery eyes, nose, and
saliva; nervousness or headache. Some sensitive people can experience
tachycardia (racing heart). While iodine therapy has been shown to be a
great aid to those with atrial fibrillation, if you experience a racing
heart, you must stop iodine therapy immediately. So use the patch test,
start slowly, and increase your dose slowly.
After three
months reduce your dose to 6-drops per day for a month, then test using the
patch test method, watch for problems, watch for improvements, and see for
yourself if iodine therapy is the missing link in your stubborn health
problems.
