Iodine - The Fountain of Youth
...or at least the closest thing we have seen to it. (Not kidding. It's fantastic!)
|
 Greetings!
96% of Americans are deficient in iodine. This means YOU! The consumption of iodine has decreased 50% in the last 30 years (according to government "NHANES" studies). Research shows we need to take in 12 mg of iodine per day, everyday to keep our bodies optimally healthy. The average Japanese person takes in 13. The average American only takes in 1 to 2 mg per day. Our thyroids hold 50 mg of iodine. The average American has only 10mg of iodine in their thyroid!
Iodine deficiency creates dozens and dozens of symptoms. This includes high cholesterol, high blood pressure, depression, recurring infections, weight gain, fatigue, asthma, ADHD and constipation. Here is a list of 181 symptoms of iodine deficiency http://poisonfluoride.com/pfpc/html/symptoms.html. You might have one.
Iodine used to be put in bread, but that was stopped. Various additives in food, tap water, medicines and consumer products push iodine out of the body creating a greater deficiency.
Pharmacies used to sell iodine but mainstream pharmacies do not carry it anymore. In 1956, there were 1,700 different iodine products on the market. Currently, I know of 10. We carry all of them.
Iodine was put into supplement form in 1829 by a Frenchman named Dr. Lugol. This formula still exists today and is known as Lugol's solution. It is considered to be the first "Western medicine" ever. It was used to shrink enlarged thyroids (goiters), cure hyperactive and underactive thyroids, and shrink tumors (cancer) of the thyroid, breast, and prostate. Prior to WWII, iodine was considered a panacea; it fixed everything!
Why did our medical community get away from using it? In 1910, a Nobel-prize winning, world famous thyroid surgeon named Kocher declared iodine was harmful (purportedly from personal experience) for hyperactive thyroids despite its documented success rate of 88% and 92%. Kocher said hyper-thyroids need to be surgically removed. The surgeon's authority was influential and intimidating enough that surgery replaced iodine across western medicine and lasted 15 or more years.
A second, more detrimental wave of anti-iodine misinformation began in 1948 and really kicked in during the 1960's that is still being followed today. Also, medical schools started teaching that iodine was harmful but this is simply not true.
Why has this deception continued? Drug companies make money on this falsehood. It's not just a little bit of money - it's the cornerstone of their total income! The drug companies are dependent on the fact that you are deficient in iodine! More details in the next newsletter.

Good News to Share
"I was taking OTC and prescription pills for sleeping four or more nights per week and still only getting a few hours of sleep. I felt fatigued and depressed as a result. I was also experiencing pain on the left side with no hope for improvement or an answer to what was causing it. This had been going on for over two years and my "traditional" doctor ran blood work as well as several ultrasounds with no answer. Now, I am completely off all OTC and prescription pills with is a HUGE improvement. I am also falling asleep easier, staying asleep and getting more hours of sleep. I am not getting headaches as often. The sleep issue is still a work in progress, but every week I feel a little better. Also, by monitoring my diet I was able to determine that my side pain was caused by eating WAY TOO MANY CARBS! This is a great relief to me - knowing what causes it - and motivating to maintain a better diet."

"I had an overall feeling of no motivation. My brain would tell me to get moving and my body would say in a minute. I am active, an early riser, I like to get things moving. So, when I didn't seem to be myself I made a statement...'I want my body back.' As I shared my situation with my health team (acupuncturist, massage therapist, chiropractor) I got the suggestion to visit NHCAA. Now, I'm BAAA-ACK! After only 7 days of taking supplements waking and starting a new day didn't take 40 minutes to get going. I am working out again. It feels great to get the blood flowing again."

"At my initial visit I had terrible heartburn with acid reflux. The symptoms interfered with my daily life to a point that it was hard to function since I was constantly nauseous and felt sick to my stomach. Since my first visit I have noticed significant improvement in my symptoms. I definitely feel better. My husband says I don't complain as much. I have learned a lot in terms of supplements and natural foods with the care I have received from Dr. Schmidt. I look forward to a full recovery."
J.B. 8/5/09 (Dr. Schmidt's patient results in 6 weeks)
"I was experiencing coughing (chronic) after exercising and any stressful situations. I had been sick for three weeks during the winter and since my cough was progressing well into spring I felt that it was time to examine my health overall. Two weeks after beginning treatment, my cough ceased and I felt that I had more energy and I was sleeping through the night. My training has improved and I feel that I am ready for my first Half Iron Man."
