By David Brownstein M.D.
Iodine deficiency has become rampant in our society. Dr. David Brownstein has found, through the years he has tested his patients for iodine, that over 90% of these patients have been deficient in this trace element. In my experience I have noticed that most Lyme disease sufferers have problems with their thyroid gland. All Lyme patients that I have met, report subnormal body temperatures. They also complain of being cold and very fatigued. It is thought that the Lyme disease pathogen attacks the thyroid which in turn would lower immune system function.
Throughout the book it is stressed repeatedly, that certain chemicals, such as the halides... bromide, chloride and fluoride, compete with iodine for absorption into the body tissues and glands, including the thyroid gland. If there is a shortage of iodine in the body, these toxic elements will be absorbed in place of the iodine. So, then, not only would many people have an iodine deficiency but as a result they may also have accumulated toxic levels of halides. Dr. Brownstein assures his readers that supplementing with adequate iodine (above the RDA) will help their body to detoxify. He also speaks of how to lessen the detoxification reaction.
Another important point made was....if one is being treated with thyroid hormone, while the body is deficient in iodine, then the thyroid hormone could exacerbate the iodine deficiency. So, while one may feel better in the short run on thyroid hormones, iodine deficiency may eventually worsen the thyroid condition, despite prescribed hormones. Many times people do well on both the iodine and the thyroid hormones together. However, Dr. Brownstein tells us that about one third of the patients are able to discontinue the thyroid hormone and take only iodine. Also included are iodine dosage guidelines and a question and answer section.
.Dr. Klinghardt, one of the most recognized Lyme specialists in the world, views Iodine as the most critical element in Lyme patients. He feels filling up the body's mineral reserves has always been the most essential part of his heavy metal detox program. It is also the most essential part of his Lyme treatment.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF IODINE
Iodine is a trace mineral produced by the body that is essential for normal growth and development. Seventy to eighty percent of iodine is found in the thyroid gland in the neck. Your thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland, located in your neck, wrapped around the windpipe, behind and below the Adam's Apple area. The thyroid produces several hormones, of which two are key: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones help oxygen get into cells, and make your thyroid the master gland of metabolism.
All the blood in the body passes through the thyroid gland every 17 minutes. During this 17-minute passage the gland's secretion of iodine kills weak germs that may have gained entry into the blood. Without iodine the germs can pass the thyroid uneffected.
Iodine is used by every hormone receptor in the body. The absence of iodine in your diet causes a hormonal dysfunction that can be seen with practically every hormone so it become easy to understand why many doctors think iodine is the missing link to many, many health problems!

WARNING - A small number of people are allergic to iodine. Also, people with kidney disease or tuberculosis should avoid iodine.
TYPES OF IODINE
Iodine tincture (topical use only)
Tincture of iodine (3% elemental iodine in water/ethanol base) is an essential component of any emergency survival kit, used both to disinfect wounds and in an emergency can be used to sanitize surface water for drinking (3 drops per liter, let stand for 30 minutes).
Lugol's iodine, also known as Lugol's solution, first made in 1829, is a solution of elemental iodine and potassium iodide in water, named after the French physician J.G.A. Lugol.
Povidone iodine
trade names: ACU-dyne, Aerodine, Betadine; drug class: iodophor This is a nonirritating disinfectant to be used topically. The iodine is usually mixed vegetable glycerin (unlike iodine ticture which is alcohol based) so it won't burn or sting on wounds.

It should be noted that high levels of iodine in your body can be just as toxic as low levels so do your homework!

This blog is very timely for me! For 6 months since my compounded thyroid medication was increased, the seizure attacks associated with Lyme disease and mold illness have increased. I just figured this out after analyzing many other possibilities; thank the Lord for my detailed treatment journal! The suffering has been incredible and recently included convulsions with at least 5 tic or seizure attacks daily. I suspect T4 toxicity! I stopped the thyroid med for a trial of 7 days until I see my LLMD. I also increased the 1/2 tab of Ioderal from 3x per week to daily. I am significantly better in 4 days: much reduced seizure attacks. The half life of T4 is 5-7 days so stopping it 7 days before the LLMD appointment seemed like a safe and reasonable thing to do. The compounded T4 also contains T3 and selenium. Thank you for this post! Julie
ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee.
