951-926-6415 One reason a lot of our metabolisms are slow is because of a lack of iodine in the body.* Iodine is called the "metabolizer", as it has one of the highest vibratory frequency rates of all elements.* Its main effect within the body is on the thyroid gland, which controls many happenings within the body. When iodine is low, the thyroid cannot keep the body in a quickened state of health, so everything seems to slow down.* Iodine restores the temperature or heat in the body and assists the calcium in the repair of tissue.* Iodine is mostly stored in the thyroid, but smaller amounts are in the muscles and bones. Indirectly, iodine has a major effect on a lot of systems in the body through the thyroid gland. Hormones, which are produced by the thyroid gland, help control the metabolism of the body, increasing the assimilation of salts.* So the closer your metabolism is to being normal (faster), the more salt you process.* This results in an increase of iodine in the body, bringing it up to normal speed.* If you do not have enough iodine, the salt taken in cannot be processed and does nothing except upset the acid alkali of the body.* Iodine, through the thyroid gland, also helps control a lot of the digestion that goes on, as well as heart rate, body temperature, nervous system, reproductive system, and body weight.* Iodine is also known to destroy harmful toxins in the brain and helps neutralize toxins in the rest of the body.* Iodine aids in the assimilation of calcium and silicone. Dry and scaly skin is a good indication of iodine deficiency.*
Symptoms of iodine deficiency may include: acne, depression, frustration,
goiter, hormonal imbalance, hyper and hypo-thyroidism, lethargy, miscarriages,
scaly or dry skin, sterility or infertility.* An accepted method
of self-testing used by many natural doctors....is to take external iodine
and place a one-inch square on a lower leg portion. After application,
the color left from the iodine should last 24 hours. If it fades away prior
to 24 hours, then you are low in iodine. So, for example, if it disappears
in twelve hours, you are approximately 50% low.
