there are some major if not shocking benefits of iodine I want to discuss every single cell in your body needs iodine because iodine is not just for the thyroid okay the thyroid consumes about 6 milligrams of iodine every single day but the breast tissue consumes 5 milligrams every single day and the question is why would the breast tissue and other tissues need iodine we're going to get there the ovaries the brain the lining of your stomach even your eyes require significant amounts of iodine I mean it's not very mysterious why Japanese women in Japan have
very low incidents of getting breast cancer they consume 25 times more iodine than women in the US even men that consume the highest amount of iodine have a 29% lowered risk of getting prostate cancer so what's the mechanism of iodine on cancer well number one it's highly anti-estrogenic and we know that if you have estrogen dominance it puts you at risk for cancer especially of the breast ovary the uterus some women even use lugos solution it's an iodine solution with a little bit of oil and they rubbed into the breast as a way of reducing
fibrocystic breast iodine also has another effect on cancer cells it causes the cancer cell to commit suicide iodine also strengthens the thyroid which increases your overall health in your resistance against health problems iodine improves the immune system and iodine also reduces inflammation and it's very important for anyone who's pregnant to consume enough iodine a deficiency of iodine in pregnant women can increase the risk of miscarriage as well as increase the chance of ADHD and one big myth out there is that you got to be careful about taking too much iodine did you realize that iodine
is the only Trace mineral that can safely be taken in extremely large amounts I'm talking like a 100,000 times the RDA iodine is considered what's called a hogen and so they all compete with each other that can create a problem with iodine well good thing we don't consume a lot of fluoride or even bromide right and I'm being very sarcastic because they put bromide in breads fluoride in the water supply and it's in your toothpaste so there's one really cool thing you can do to kind of get that stuff out of the body you can
just take more of iodine and what I would do if you wanted to do a detox if you were concerned about that is for several days consume a good amount of water with unrefined sea salt then you would start taking lugos solution now this is a mixture of two different types of iodine because different tissues absorb different types of iodine you would start taking the solution and follow the instructions on the bottle for about 5 days okay and then you take two 2 days off to let it detox and if you're doing a detox you
probably want to also add some other things too like vitamin C and I would recommend taking between 3 and n g not milligrams and about 400 milligram of magnesium 100 milligrams of selenium and the complete B complex by doing that you can help clear out these halogens and replace it with iodine however if you have hyperthyroidism do not take iodine some people think that they're allergic to iodine because they're allergic to shellfish no one can be actually allergic to a mineral they're usually allergic to something in the fish okay so people that have shellfish allergies
usually can take iodine and another point that I want to bring up about the foods that are goitrogenic which basically block iodine like kale and broccoli and all the cruciferous vegetables lima beans if you take seelp on a regular basis that can easily counter any potential bad effects also you can take higher amounts of iodine for Respiratory viruses and the last point is that iodine also binds with Mercury and aluminum so that's another way to help reduce the Toxic effect of certain Metals there's a lot more benefits to iodine that I'm going to tell you
I did an older video on iodine that it was actually really popular if you haven't seen that I think you'll enjoy it I put it up right here check it out
