 |
|
I'm continuing all iodine posts separately from the Japan disaster thread. Because now it's getting more into actual Health and Wellness, so it belongs more in this index now.
When I post all the information that was sent to me, I'll start gathering up various resources of iodine and other similar things.
What makes Finland so special?
The "powers that be" in Finland added Iodine to health requirements back in the 1950's. Pls read info from study conducted in Finland in the article below:
Quote:
"In conclusion, the occurrence of iodine deficiency in cardiovascular disease is frequent. Iodine supplementation might prevent the worsing effect of iodine deficiency on cardiovascular disease."

|
|
Pat Buchanan's article regarding International Test Scores. Pls note the countries who finished in the top three: China, Japan and Finland. When our country removed iodine from the bread in the late 1960's, Finland added iodine and decreased the incidence of heart disease almost immediately. Citizens of Japan eat seaweed and have the highest consumption of iodine. I have not investigated the use of iodine in China, but will look into it.
Our thyroid, and other organs require iodine supplementation. I have forwarded Dr. Guy Abraham's article, "Iodine: The Universal Nutrient" in a separate e-mail. Please note number 13 on his "summary of findings" list where he writes:
"Orthoiodosupplementation may be the safetst, simplest, most effective and least expensive way to solve the healthcare crisis crippling our nation."
fyi,
M
"Guy E. Abraham, M.D., is a former professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Endocrinology at the UCLA School of Medicine. He has been honored at follows: General Diagnostic Award from the Canadian Association of clinical Chemists, 1974; the medaille d'Honneur from the University of Liegc, Belgium, 1976; the Senior Investigator Award of Pharmacia, Sweden, 1980. Twenty-six years ago, Dr. Abraham developed magnesium emphasized nutritional programs for women with premenstrual tension syndrome and post-menopausal osteoporosis. EIGHT YEARS AGO HE INITIATED THE IODINE PROJECT, A RE-EVALUATION OF THE ROLE OF THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENT IODINE IN MEDICAL PRACTICE."

|
|
The following is quoted from Dr. B’s book “Iodine, Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It.”
“MANY MEDICATIONS THAT CONTAIN FLUORIDE HAVE BEEN PULLED FROM THE MARKET DUE TO SERIOUS ADVERSE EFFECTS. These include the cholesterol-lowering drug Baycol, Propulsid (for stomach ulcers), Posicor (anti-arrythemic), Astemizole (allergies), Omniflox (antibiotic), Fen-Phen (weight loss), and many others. Fluoride is still used in many medications commonly prescribed, including Flonase and Flovent.”
“Many commonly prescribed medications [still] contain fluoride, including the popular SSRI antidepressants such as Paxil and Prozac. Interestingly, there have been reports of this class of antidepressants increasing the risk of breast cancer. [Footnote]”
“I believe that no medication should contain fluoride.”
TAKING IODINE SUPPLEMENTS WILL DETOX THE BODY OF THIS FLUORIDE. Check www.drbrownstein.com .

|

This video asks the question, Why should up to a billion people be needlessly at risk for Iodine Deficiency?
The first video/blog below is an expose of a PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN. Dr. Basil Hetzel is over 80 years old. He's a Scientist, Researcher and Entrepreneur. He's written a book called, Chance and Commitment and is trying to educate the world on Iodine Deficiency.
Pls look at world maps and see the gray area which includes the U.S. The gray area - UNITED STATES - has no information available for the iodine study. SAY WHAT?
If idodine deficiency causes cretinism then why isn't the U.S. part of this reporting system???
Does anyone know a mother who's trying to get pregnant? Pls send these three video blogs to them ASAP.
From YouTube.com
PREVENTING MENTAL RETARDATION DUE TO IODINE DEFICIENCY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-RtiFbk6Z8
University of So Australia, Alfred Zerfas - Public Service Announcement - distributing info on the work of Dr. Basil Hetzel.
In the 2nd video blog, we are informed that prenatal vitamins in the U.S. do not contain any iodine - over 50% of the time. Iodine deficiency in pregnancy can cause cretinism. A new mother needs to ask her doc for iodine supplementation!!
From: Her Medical Encyclopedia

In this 3rd video blog, we learn the complications that can happen during pregnancy if the mother is iodine deficient. Also she confirms the baby needs iodine to grow. I recommend Iosol liquid iodine from Wellness Resources (most mild iodine) unless your doc has another recommendation.

What women need to know about iodine before getting pregnant
| Quote: | Pls add this info to your facebook. It is really a part of your pre-natal/vaclib info. This video/blog informs us that prenatal vitamins in the US do not include iodine. She instructs the amt required.
If you listened to the info from Dr. Meletis that I sent, he informs us that both the WHO (World Health Org) and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) both have requirements for iodine.
Dr. M gave us the statistics on how many children are born with CRETINISM because their mothers were iodine deficient. Docs have proved in 3rd world countries that goiters are caused by Iodine Deficiency.

Another NAIL!
| Quote: | Hi,
This this is my favorite subject! I've been taking Ioderol for years. We met Dr. Brownstein from Michigan and Dr. Jorge Flechas from Puerto Rico at the Cancer Control Society back in 2006. At the time we were trying to save L's thyroid, but alas, it was too late for him! It was not too late for me, however. I had been diagnosed with fibrocystic breasts for years from mammograms. I had fibroids in both breasts. All the docs ever told me was to give up caffeine. It had nothing to do with caffeine and everything to do with iodine!
I started on the Ioderol way back then. I will send you a copy of Dr. J. Flechas presentation that we saw that day. Dr. Flechas trained at Loma Linda University Medical School here but is another understudy of Dr. Guy Abraham. Dr. Abraham is a retired endocrinologist from UCLA. He has won awards WORLDWIDE for his success with magnesium and iodine. Our country will not give him an award as he exposed (along with his understudies, Dr. David Brownstein and Dr. Jorge Flechas) that our country removed the iodine from our bread back in 1969-70.
Check out his IODINE PROJECT. Dr. Abraham developed Ioderol at Optimox Corp. in Torrance. It is sold at Vitamin Research Products in Nevada. I buy it from Life Extension (of which I am a member and you may use my membership # any time you like.) It's alot less expensive to buy it from LE.
I can't stress Iodine/Iodide enough. The breasts of our young ladies REQUIRE IT - I wish I had taken supplements when I was "developing" WAY BACK IN TIME!! We all need it to detox the metals, to protect us from radiation in our phones, for our thyroids to be healthy. I don't think anybody wants to take thyroid from pigs like L has to do. I'm praying everybody is learning what they took away from us.
At the time they removed it from our country, they added it to Finland. THEY DON'T HAVE NEARLY THE HEART DISEASE. INTERESTING HUH? If (and that's a big IF) they removed it by mistake, then they need to correct their mistake - NOW!
If you don't have time to read this article, please save it for your first opportunity. PLEASE DO TAKE THE TIME NOW, HOWEVER, TO READ THE FIRST RESPONSE AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE FROM A NURSE, MARY COCHRAN WHO LOST ONE BREAST BEFORE SHE LEARNED ABOUT IT. Her father was in the mil and she believes that both of her parents were io deficient because of radia exposure when they lived in NM during wor (do you know about the experiments there?).
Mary, the nurse who comments below, had an "AHA moment" when she learned of everything io does in the body (which she explains) brom addition to our flour in 1980. You can get Bob's Red Mill Flour (non-brom) at health food stores (I found at Sprouts).
I'll forward the e-mails I received recently from Dr. David Brownstein (www.drbrownstein.com) that notified us of the earthquake in Japan. Pls give yourself a password and get into his archives. You will find that Dr. B is right on track with you and your husband. He does not believe in any shts and has many fabulous DVD's and books.
I highly recommend signing up for his e-mails. He doesn't overwhelm you with info like some do. I wouldn't have known about the dangers from the earthquake without his e-mail shortly afterward. He's very outspoken and has had some problems because of it. He seems to have NO FEAR. I'm sending you a copy of his book, Iodine, Why You Need It and Why You Can't Live Without It.
I will forward the last three e-mails I received so you can get an idea of how he watches out for us.
May you be blessed with this info.
In Christ's Love,

Iodine and Cardiac Conditions, Afib, Arrhythmias
15th June 2008 by Arrow Durfee Posted in Disease, Cardiovascular, Revolutionary Therapies
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, ARRHYTHMIAS AND IODINE
By Bruce West, D.C.
[In Health Alert, June 2006, Volume 23, Issue 6. To order, call 831-372-2103, weekdays. Or write Health Alert, 100 Wilson Road, #110, Monterey Ca 93940.]
“As you have read over and over in Health Alert, there is an epidemic of cardiac arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation in this country. Expert Thyroidologists like Guy Abraham, MD, are convinced that the medical iodine phobia has a great deal to do with this phenomenon. Adequate stores of iodine are necessary for a smooth heartbeat.” — Health Alert, Vol. 22, No. 12
Too many years ago medical experts determined that high doses of iodine were dangerous, despite a hundred-year history of extremely high doses (in today’s terms) of iodine prescribed by doctors for just about everything—with great results. As is often the case, the flawed results of this study became medical dogma. And today, more than 50 years later, organized medicine still follows that dogma when it comes to iodine therapy.
This is particularly sad for those who do not have access to alternative medical care and are suffering from problems with thyroid and goiter, female reproductive diseases, menopause, diabetes, obesity, liver disease, polycystic ovaries, breast disease, heart disease, and most especially arrhythmia problems.
Missing Link
Iodine supplementation may be the missing link in a good percentage of heart arrhythmia cases, especially atrial fibrillation. The body needs adequate stores of iodine for the heart to beat smoothly. After close to a year now of using Iodine Fulfillment Therapy, I can attest to this fact. Most of the stubborn cases of cardiac arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation that we were unable to completely correct with our cardiac protocols have now been resolved with adequate supplies of iodine added to the protocol.
Even I was fooled for years—fooled away from using adequate doses of iodine. But thanks to bona fide experts like Dr. Abraham, I was able to see the decades-old medical iodine phobia for what it really was—a mistake. Carefully and slowly at first, I started having patients take sufficient doses of iodine. Much to my surprise, there were no problems, just many great results, especially with arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation.
Iodine Fulfillment
Iodine fulfillment means the entire body has adequate stores of iodine to function properly. Although iodine can be found in every organ and tissue in the body, some areas utilize more iodine than others. It is not only the thyroid gland that uses iodine but also the heart, breasts, ovaries, muscles, liver, and adrenal glands. We are also discovering that while it may take smaller doses to fulfill the thyroid’s needs, it often takes much larger doses to fulfill the rest of the body’s needs, including the needs of the heart.
These parts of the body are iodine sensitive—that is, if they are starving for iodine, they do not function properly. Since there are so many iodine-sensitive sites in the body, medical experts are finding that iodine therapy can be a “panacea” of sorts for all types of stubborn problems. Just as physicians noted 60 to 100 years ago, iodine therapy can help people with hypo- or hyperthyroid (with or without goiter), fibrocystic breasts, polycystic ovary syndrome, brain fog, constipation, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. In addition, it may prove essential treatment if you suffer from heart disease, arrhythmias, and atrial fibrillation.
In the past, with just about every patient with heart problems, arrhythmias, and atrial fibrillation, I would always use a protocol from Standard Process that included Cataplex F. Cataplex F is a combination of liver extract, omega-3 fatty acids, and iodine. But the typical dose of four to six Cataplex F tablets contains less than one milligram of iodine. While this dose was adequate for most people, some failed to respond, or only got partially better. Old-time physicians used to routinely prescribe up to 100 milligrams daily for all kinds of problems with excellent results. Now I know that they were on the right track.
How Much Iodine, and For How Long?
As I see people with stubborn arrhythmias getting better on 10, 20, 30, and even up to 50 mgs of iodine daily, I know that large doses are sometimes needed by the body. This is what Iodine Fulfillment Therapy is all about. Iodine fulfillment simply fulfills all of the body’s needs for iodine. For those deficient, this may require up to 50 mgs daily for three to four months.
If you have been unable to resolve your heart arrhythmia with one of my protocols, the simplest way to proceed with Iodine Fulfillment Therapy is to add Prolamine Iodine from Standard Process to your heart protocol. Begin with one Prolamine Iodine tablet daily. If there are no problems after a few days to a week, increase the dose to two daily. Continue this procedure, increasing the dose by one more daily until your heart begins to beat smoothly. At this point, you have reached iodine fulfillment. Stay at this dose for a full three months.
Since each Prolamine Iodine tablet contains 3 mgs of iodine, your body may require from 1 to 15 tablets daily for three months. Most people achieve results after 3 to 10 tablets daily. After three full months at your iodine fulfillment dose, begin to cut the dose back by one to two tablets daily each week. If you begin to feel your heart act up again, you have gone past your maintenance dose. Add back one more tablet daily. You will generally end up with a dose of one to four daily—and this dose should be maintained for 12 months. Thereafter, you will probably need even less.
Don’t Take Prolamine Iodine and Amiodarone
Amazingly, while medicine shuns iodine therapy, their most popular anti-fibrillation drug, Amiodarone, actually is iodine in a toxic, sustained-release form. This drug can produce a smooth heartbeat when the body has accumulated about 1,500 mgs of iodine—the exact amount of iodine retained by your body when iodine fulfillment is achieved by natural supplementation with Prolamine Iodine.
Unfortunately, Amiodarone is an extremely toxic form of iodine used by the medical profession. The side effects are often too great (and even life threatening) for most people to endure long enough to achieve a normal heartbeat. In addition, once you stop this drug, your original problem returns. Iodine therapy, on the other hand, fulfills the body’s needs safely, then maintains the smooth heartbeat with a low-maintenance dose.
Because Amiodarone is iodine, you cannot use iodine fulfillment therapy while you are taking this drug. Rather, your doctor needs to wean you off this drug first, so you can then begin natural iodine treatment. In other words, iodine fulfillment therapy is done in place of Amiodarone, not together with it. Amiodarone and iodine at the same time can be dangerous.
If you are on a heart protocol that has been only partially effective, or your arrhythmia or atrial fibrillation problem is stubborn, you will need to test iodine fulfillment therapy. However, you will maintain your original heart protocol with one change. Once iodine therapy has started (even at one Prolamine Iodine tablet daily), you will no longer need to take Cataplex F. Everything else in your protocol remains the same.
The Iodine Test
In the past we held that if it took less than 24 hours for tincture of iodine to disappear from the skin then there was a need for iodine supplementation. Today, I am not so sure this is a good indicator of iodine need. There are just too many variables involved in how quickly the tincture disappears from the skin.
However, tincture of iodine, available in drug stores everywhere for pennies, cannot hurt. Common sense dictates that if the iodine first disappears in a few hours, but stays in place for more than 24 hours after iodine fulfillment therapy, it is a good test. I will leave it up to you if you want to challenge this test.
As far as I’m concerned, I am finding more and more people deficient in iodine—even those I would not have thought would have this problem. At this stage, unless you know you are allergic to iodine (a very rare condition), it would be best to fulfill your body’s needs for iodine if you have any of the problems mentioned in this article.
Simply proceed with caution, slowly and carefully. For anyone setting out on a course of iodine fulfillment therapy, please send us a self-addressed envelope with two stamps and say IODINE. We will send you our full article so you will know exactly how to proceed. The best course of action is to proceed with iodine therapy safely, as there have been some problems reported in certain individuals. I recommend that you proceed only when you have our Iodine flyer in your hands.
Problems and Allergy to Iodine
Few problems have been reported when iodine therapy is accomplished slowly and safely—as outlined in my flyer. Sensitive individuals may experience skin irritation; watery eyes, nose, and saliva; nervousness or headache. Some highly sensitive individuals may also experience a racing heart or irritation of the esophagus. These are extremely rare (I’ve seen very few of these potential problems), and they are easily resolved by either immediately reducing the dose or quitting the iodine.
The greatest problem arises when an individual with a known allergy to iodine tries iodine therapy. This therapy cannot be used by these folks unless their allergy to iodine is resolved.
Resolving an allergy to iodine may be possible with an acupuncture technique called NAET. To find out if your allergy to iodine (or other substances, for that matter) can be resolved, check out the acupuncture site of an old friend of Health Alert, Dr. Devi Nambudripad, at www.naet.com.
The second greatest problem can occur if you try iodine therapy while taking an iodine drug like Amiodarone. This will cause problems that can require medical attention. Do not attempt to take large doses of iodine when you are taking Amiodarone, Pacerone, or Cardarone. If you want to try iodine therapy, your doctor will first have to wean you from these drugs.
In conclusion, if you suffer from heart arrhythmias or atrial fibrillation, or any of the problems listed in this article, keep iodine therapy in mind. If you use iodine therapy, please feel free to send me your results. As I’ve said, I have been nothing but pleasantly surprised with results coming back better and better. And I can finally reach some of those really stubborn arrhythmia and fibrillation cases that just would not respond completely to my protocol containing only a milligram or two of iodine.
It is now beyond a doubt that adequate iodine is necessary for a smooth heartbeat. This ongoing research is truly wonderful news.

Iodine Facts and Results
By Bruce West
[from Health Alert, October 2006, Volume 23, Issue 10]
Iodine therapy continues to be highly beneficial to iodine-deficient people. It is now proven that 50 mgs of iodine daily detoxifies the body of toxic halide compounds such as bromine and fluorine—as well as the heavy metals lead and mercury. It is proven that there is a built-in safety mechanism for iodine overload. With iodine deficiency, the amount of iodine retained in the body is related to the amount of the deficiency. At full sufficiency (when there is no longer any iodine deficiency), the excess iodine is excreted via the urine as iodide. It is proven that the amount of iodine needed and retained in the body for total iodine sufficiency is 1,500 mgs. This is 50 times higher than the amount reported in medical textbooks.
Our environment is now loaded with the toxic halides bromine and fluorine. Up until now we have had no way to detoxify the body of these thyroid poisons. Iodine Therapy now provides a protocol to accomplish what we have desired for years. And as an added bonus, there is additional detoxification of mercury and lead.
Iodine is needed for a smooth heartbeat. Yet the medical establishment continues to have a penchant for the toxic, iodine-containing drug Amiodarone. This drug is extremely toxic to the thyroid and can induce severe thyroid abnormalities. Yet rather than switch to the nontoxic form of iodine, cardiologists and thyroidologists would kill the thyroid gland with ablation of the thyroid (surgical or drug destruction of the gland) in order to continue the use of the toxic drug Amiodarone.
As a result, rather than switch to the nontoxic form of iodine to smooth out a severe cardiac arrhythmia, medical doctors would sacrifice the thyroid gland altogether. This radical procedure is performed so that the drug, which is rarely a successful, long-term treatment for cardiac arrhythmias, can be used. Seem a little drastic? Once something becomes the gold standard in medicine, almost nothing will stand in the way of physicians continuing to prescribe it.
Nontoxic and Effective Treatment
So if you suffer from atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or any other cardiac arrhythmia, you will probably be prescribed the toxic drug Amiodarone along with the rat poison warfarin (Coumadin). All the while you probably need Iodine Therapy. But take note…you cannot proceed with Iodine Therapy while you are taking Amiodarone. The combination of safe iodine with the drug’s toxic iodine would overwhelm the body.
Instead, you need to start a heart protocol available from us, and then have your doctor wean you from Amiodarone as you prepare for Iodine Therapy. After three weeks off Amiodarone, you can begin Iodine Therapy….
The Body’s Many Needs for Iodine
It seems hard to believe that many, many people need large doses of iodine. But when you consider that toxic halide molecules and heavy metals are in direct competition for the iodine sensitive sites in the body, it makes sense. These toxins are now everywhere in our environment. They are displacing iodine from your body every day. And iodine fulfillment can only be reached when these toxins are released from the body. This happens only with Iodine Therapy.
Aside from the thyroid gland, your heart, muscles, skin, brain, breasts, ovaries, and other glands and tissues are dependent on iodine. People who are just depleted, chronically cold, depressed, obese, forgetful, chronically fatigued, and old before their time probably need Iodine Therapy.
People with heart arrhythmias, heart disease, ovary disease, breast disease, menopausal problems and hot flashes, muscle wasting, hypo- and hyperthyroid disease, “brain fog,” dementia and Alzheimer’s osteoporosis, premenstrual tension, and just about everyone on thyroid hormone medication probably need Iodine Therapy. And just about everyone poisoned with bromine, fluorine, mercury, lead, and the drug Amiodarone probably needs Iodine Therapy.
The Body’s Safety Mechanism
Given what we now know about the built-in safety mechanism for iodine overload, Iodine Therapy is relatively safe. You could be tested for the amount of iodine you need and then checked again to see if you’ve reached fulfillment, but since excess iodine is harmlessly excreted as iodide in the urine, this is often not necessary. Most people reach Iodine Fulfillment on a dosage of between 37 and 50 mgs daily for 3 to 6 months.
The iodine dosage is increased slowly, and after 3 to 6 months on the full dose it is tapered back down to a low dose. The responses to this therapy are often extremely dramatic. Patients with stubborn heart arrhythmia that partially responded to my heart protocol, which contained small amounts of iodine, are now routinely cured with their protocol combined with Iodine Therapy.
A Fountain of Youth?
As a result of Iodine Therapy, women enjoy relief from chronic cystic breasts. Thyroid function is improved. Skin tone is improved. Indeed, in some patients, years seem to roll back. The mind functions better, and the “brain fog” is often lifted. Ovary syndromes are often permanently resolved. And the need for life-long thyroid medication is often diminished or eliminated altogether.
If you fit into any of these categories, you may wish to consider a proper protocol combined with Iodine Therapy. This type of treatment is now very well tested, proven, and safe. Remember to proceed only after you’ve read my Iodine Therapy flyer. Patients routinely use Iodoral (which can be procured from physicians), or Prolamine Iodine from Standard Process.
The clinical evidence of significant health benefits continues to gather from physicians who use this type of treatment. The results we get with our patients show the same kinds of benefits.

29 Responses to “Iodine and Cardiac Conditions, Afib, Arrhythmias”
Mary Cochran Says:
June 20th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Thank you Dr. West for your amazing article on Iodine and Cardiovascular Disease. For many years I have wondered why my mother and father died 3 months apart of sudden cardiac death in 1978. My mother had a long history of severe thyroid and cardiovascular disease, treated at one of the top medical centers in the US. My father was treated at the same facility with cardiac by-pass in ‘74. Both of my parents were in New Mexico during WWII and my father particularly is believed to have had significant exposure to radiation from nuclear activity but clearly my mother must have had significiant exposure as well thus depleting their iodine levels.
As a nurse, I was well aware of the impact of low levels of magnesium on a myriad of health challenges. Since my parents owned a dairy farm and drank raw milk daily with a low green intake, it was easy to understand that magnesium deficiency may have been implicated but iodine never surfaced in the case of my father. I felt poor thyroid function was central to my mother’s poor health.
Not long ago, my 28 yo daughter who is a nuclear engineer asked me about my history of intraductal breast cancer. Cancer has not been in our large extended family so she was interested in determining if there was anything she might do to prevent breast cancer.
This request prompted me to begin inquiry into the subject. It did not take me long to do a google search and retrieve articles by Dr Donald Miller on the health implications of iodine deficiency as well as the work of Drs. Brownstein and Flechas and others on thyroid, cystic breast disease and intraductal/prostate/ovarian cancer. I began to have aha moments when the topics of heavy metal chelation, natural antibiotic function as well as hormonal responsibilities were attributed to IODINE.
My health challenges immediately began to make sense - very poor dental health (low magnesium) and filling after filling as young as 3 years as well as pyorrhea and gum boils. My ability to learn diminished and particularly short-term memory.
I understood the material but found retention expecially difficult. My mother would agree that hyperactivity was part of my MO as well but no endurance. Dental problems plagued me as a child and at 10 when pre-pubescent deveopment began, I experienced tender breasts immediately and culminated in a right mastectomy at age 50 with the onset of menopause. In addition, I was plagued with every childhood disease, measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox. In 1985, came a hospitalization for chest pain and cardiac arrhythmia along with a diagnosis of lyme disease with neurologic dysfunction and long-term antibiotic treatment. As a nurse, I had been brainwashed into believing that things like bagels and flour products were “complex carbs” and good for you. Now I understand that in 1980 bromine became the bleaching agent in flour and thus a further displacement of the little amount of iodine I had in my body. Fortunately for me, I have had a spring water source so didn’t drink fluoridated water but used fluoridated toothpaste.
I have used a myriad of nutritionals to heal since 1994 but it was not until September of ‘07 when I connected the iodine with breast cancer did I get the “big picture”. Using muscle testing and the patch test, it was clear that I needed alot of iodine. I now test for 1200 mg of the 1500 mg required for fulfillment.
I want to thank you from my heart for your article and helping me to put the puzzle together so that the pieces are in the right places.
I now understand the untimely death of my parents, the why of my health and how to pass on a legacy of health to my daughters, nieces and nephews.
I’m no longer experiencing an irregular heart beat for the first time in many years. My pusle is full and regular at 60! I can exercise without fatigue.
In Gratitude,
Mary Cochran RN BSN

Please send me your full report on iodine versus Amiodarone. I want help in weaning off Amio, but may not be able to get it from my cardiologist. I am shopping for a replacement cardiologist, but they may be all alike in Missouri (mindless). I am also considering an endocrinologist. At least thew rest of my body will be evaluated. My eyes are affected, but the blurb doesn’t give a damn.

Thanks for your informative post Dan.
MMS is bringing success for many lyme people. It is not an antibiotic. It is an antiseptic.
I have lots of info stored here on mms and an active
thread at www.natmedtalk.com where regular mms users gather.
I wonder if your a-fib has some microbe involved. A fib must have a cause. Most often docs do not know what causes it.
I agree. there may be a hormone issue.
If it does have a microbe involved MMS can help. Iodine is great.
Iodine and MMS can cure most of what ails us.
I live in Spain and here I can not get USA stamps. Could you send my the flyer by another form?

How is your iodine different from Lugol’s, Iodoral and Nascent Iodine?
Love this site.

Lugols or nacient iodine or idoral are the only types of iodine I reccomend for supplementation…. so I don’t understand your question.

I have not heard of this issue and in all the readings I have not on iodine from the physicians who use it it has not been mentioned.
I suspect that this is coincidental. I suspect that if you stop the iodine and it continues your answer will be there. I have never heard that iodine caused nor treated gout. You may have something else going on.
See the arthritis link for ideas regarding gout, it that should turn our to be your issue.

I had thyca in 2001 and after the removal of my thryoid and also discovered Hashimotos Disease.
I have had high bp which is control with 25 mg of atenolol and 2 tekturn 150 mg. I am taking 5 mgs of Warfarin.
I am waiting for cardo conversion but have been taking magnesium , fish oil along with 175 mcd of Synthroid.
In the case of someone who is kept hyperthyroid to prevent a return of cancer, is there hope of controlling a fib with Iodine supplements?
There are no doctors in this area who will even try to put me on anything natural. I have seen six doctors and all refuse to put me on natural thyroid supplement since they say it is impossible to follow thyca with natural supplements. I live in Illinois. There must be someone in Chicago who is forward thinking but I am not aware of them.I would prefer to try natural supplements to having my heart shocked . My mother had a fib and a brother also had a fib. Thanks for any imput and for such a fascinating article.

Those of you with aFib please I implore you all to go to a chiropractor, or some one who knows how to push the stomach down from the solar plexus …http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig11.php

I donot receive mail. Are you referring to Dr West? in the lead article on this page?
I strongly suggest that you work with a naturopathic doctor if you have afib. I also recommend that you get 2 or 3 IV chelation therapies and then follow up with oral chelation. Also take Standard Process Cataplex B vitamin available on Amazon.com I know a Natuorpathic doctor who has pretty good success with chelation and Cataplex B
Monitor your INR as you increase iodine dosage. If you are on coumadin you may seek to get off of it but do not do it without a Naturopaths help. You will need your fibrogen levels checked and I think you should check them before stopping coumadin and before starting nattokinase which will keep your blood from clotting without dangerous side effects. Pycogenol also helps to prevent clots too. Many studies done on it.
I strongly suggest that you read the 3 page article found here:
