Thyroid--Whether Hyper or Hypo, Iodine Necessary You thyroid gland makes the hormones that run the energy production, and thus work, of every cell in your body. It requires iodine to make these hormones. Because of lack of iodine in the American diet, were in a epidemic of thyroid problems....either hypo (under-active) or hyper (over-active). In either case, the thyroid requires iodine. “When iodine no longer binds to thyroid cell membranes (in other words, lacking in the diet), enzymes called peroxidases are able to damage these membranes and produce autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Hyperthyoridism (Graves’s Disease)…For more than 100 years, high doses of iodine have been known to benefit both under-activity (hypothyroidism) of the thyroid gland, and over-activity (hyperthyroidism). Iodine therapy allows the sluggish thyroid gland to resume normal production of thyroid hormone, leading to resolution of hypothyroidism. Provision of iodine stops the peroxidase injury to the thyroid membranes in hyperthyroidism, which permits hyperthyroidism to be resolved. – Jim Howenstine, M.D. Dr. Bruce West concurs: “…iodine is the treatment of choice for hypo- and hyperthyroid problems…Doctors could get as high as a 90% cure rate with hyperthyroid by using what would be considered high doses of iodine daily. ______________________________ Would you like some help with your thyroid and other nutritionl related issues of your health.
