Iodine and your Thyroid
Why do I feel so BLAH?, I am so bloated and constipated, yet I eat well. My doctor says there is nothing wrong, but I don’t know what to do. I am not old, but feel there is no hope in getting back my OOMPH.
Many of us in North America suffer with sluggish thyroids. The main reason is the ice age scraped away the iodine that was in our soil and iodine is the main nutrient that our thyroid needs to stay healthy and functioning.
When we do not get enough iodine in our food, our thyroid will not give us the energy, the healthy skin, hair and nails, the optimal IQ, the vibrant libido and fertility or the healthy blood pressure and heart rate we need to stay on top of our game.
We may develop nodules, tumors and even cancers on the thyroid gland. Or the thyroid may just stop working and we end up with a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s disease or Goiter or Hypothyroidism.
When the iodine is not available and your thyroid is starving, it may seek out a “similar product” that is from the same family i.e. a halide. Fluoride, Chlorine and Bromine are halides that we have in abundance in our environment, water, drugs and food. When the thyroid picks up one of these poisonous halides, it gets damaged.
Every fourth client I see in my clinic is on some kind of thyroid medication!
It is an epidemic.
But it is easy to correct. Check your iodine levels and if they are low, supplement with Lugol’s iodine and protect your health.
