Nascent Iodine

We are big Dr. Wilson fans, and here are a pair of excerpts from his article on Iodine: http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/IODINE.htm "One of the most important and overlooked minerals today is iodine. Iodine is needed in the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. However, iodine is also required for every tissue of the body! It is called the endocrine mineral because it is important not only for the thyroid gland, but also for the adrenal glands, ovaries, breasts, prostate gland, and the entire hormone system of the body." ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── "IODINE HELPS REMOVE ALL TOXINS Iodine supplementation has a wonderful effect on all the toxic metals in the body. It can also help remove toxic chemicals and infections. This occurs for several reasons: Iodine opposes or antagonizes the halogens. This has been discussed above. Taking iodine often leads to the elimination from the body of bromines, chlorine, fluorides and other metals as well. Iodine improves thyroid activity. As thyroid activity recovers, the body is far more able to eliminate all the toxic metals. This is the main mechanism behind iodine’s ability to reduce the toxic metal burden in the body. Iodine is a germicide – antibiotic, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and anticancer. It appears to help the body fight off many types of infection. This occurs partly by improving thyroid activity. However, iodine can also act as an anti-oxidant, according to researchers."   *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
