Natural Way to Health - Iodine

"Forget the Myth of Iodized Salt —
It's Not Enough . . . "

About David Brownstein, M.D.

Dr. David Brownstein is a board-certified family physician and is one of the foremost American practitioners of holistic medicine.

He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and Wayne State University School of Medicine. Currently, he is the medical director of the Center for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, Mich.

Dr. Brownstein has authored eight books on natural health:

• Drugs That Don't Work and Natural Therapies That Do!
• Overcoming Thyroid Disorders
• Overcoming Arthritis
• The Miracle of Natural Hormones
• The Guide to Healthy Eating
• Salt Your Way to Health
• Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It
• The Guide to a Gluten-Free Diet

In addition, Dr. Brownstein has lectured internationally to physicians and others about his success in using natural hormones, and nutritional and holistic therapies in his practice.

During the early 1900's, there was a high prevalence of goiter or enlarged thyroid in states bordering the Great Lakes (known as the 'Goiter Belt'). Based on the outcome of research, including studies performed by the state of Michigan, iodine clearly decreased the goiter problem.

Thus, in the 1920's, iodine was added to salt. Soon, the rest of the United States quickly adopted this cost-effective policy of adding iodine to salt to prevent thyroid enlargement.
And although the addition of iodine to the salt supply has lessened the prevalence of goiter both in the U.S. and worldwide, it is inadequate to supply your body's need for iodine.

Here's why . . .

Iodized salt is a poor source of the compound iodide, because it is not very bio-available for the body.

Additionally, due to poor farming techniques, deficiencies of iodine and other minerals in the soil have increased. Obviously, crops grown in iodine-deficient soil will be deficient in iodine.

And iodine deficiency is not only due to inadequate intake.

It's also due to the toxic substances we're exposed to on a daily basis, including compounds such as bromine, fluoride and chlorine. These toxic halogen compounds that have wormed their way into our bodies force iodine to compete for limited binding sites to work its magic.

Perhaps you've never heard of bromine. In the 1980's, bromine replaced iodine in the baking industry. Bakers used to use iodine to condition their dough. But in a flash of poor reasoning, the industry began to question the safety of using iodine in bakery products. So they went with bromine instead. This meant less iodine in our diets.

Even worse, bromine interferes with iodine utilization in the thyroid and other areas iodine concentrates in the body. Plus, it's a known carcinogen.

And while iodized salt is a poor source of iodine in our diets, according to Dr. Brownstein . . .

"The RDA for Iodine is Inadequate, Too"

Inadequate to provide enough iodine to promote your optimal thyroid, endocrine, and immune system functioning. Furthermore, he'll tell you that the RDA is inadequate to prevent cancer.

Especially if you have a:

• Diet low in fish or sea vegetables like seaweed
• Low sodium diet
• Diet high in the consumption of bakery products, pastas, or carbonated beverages high in bromide
• Vegan or vegetarian diet

So What's the Answer to the Iodine Problem?

Dr. Brownstein's interest in iodine grew out of his concern for the millions of people deficient in this critical nutrient. His intensive study led him to write his book Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It.

In this fascinating book, you'll discover:

• The single best way to measure the iodine levels in your body (Plus the only lab Dr. Brownstein recommends to perform your testing) . . .
• The two specific types of iodine to use if you're one of the 96.5% people with a deficiency (And why Dr. Brownstein favors a tablet form) . . .
• Where to obtain the brand of iodine supplementation recommended by Dr. Brownstein . . .
• The crucial difference between iodine and iodide (Hear why you need a supplement that contains both) . . .
• Why Japanese men have such low rates of prostate cancer compared to men in the U.S . . .
