Thyroid hormones cannot be created without iodine and they cannot be activated
without selenium.

Selenium has interactions with glutathione, vitamin B6, vitamin E and much more.

Liposomal is a delivery method for various nutrients. It creates a vessel that
is capable of carrying a nutrient through a cell’s wall. Sometimes our body is
not currently capable of doing this on its own, so liposomal can give us a boost
if our cells are in need of a certain nutrient.

I cover some of the common liposomal nutrients I use here

Similar to having a leaking fuel tank and wondering why we can’t make it all the
way to work, our stomach acid is extremely important.

It is common to assume we have an issue with elevated stomach acid, but acid is
not easy to generate and our body’s are tired.

A NEW WORLD WITH IODINE


AllArticlesPostsFAQPages



WHAT IS IODINE?

 * An essential nutrient required by almost every cell in our body
 * With connections to over 60 diseases and ailments including thyroid &
   metabolic disorders
 * Has the ability to move metals and other toxins
 * Is integral in stomach acid formation and proper digestion
 * Has been systematically removed from our diet and replaced with toxic
   mimickers
 * Antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and so much more


WHY ARE PEOPLE FOCUSING ON IODINE?

Iodine has connections to a lot of health ailments. As people search for
solutions to their struggles, iodine tends to come up eventually.

A lot of people are finally regaining their health with iodine which helps
spread the word.

Several doctors, book authors, websites, forums, Facebook groups etc are helping
share information about successfully healing with iodine.

In my opinion, after regaining my own health with iodine is that iodine is
required in order to clean and rebuild our cells with dense nutrition. I think
iodine is the secret ticket to balancing our nutrients. Without dense nutrition
we cannot rebuild our cells, but without iodine our old cells cannot be broken
down and there’s no room to rebuild.


WHAT IS THIS SITE?

There is an iodine community made of several groups across several platforms on
the internet, as well as several books and videos.

Each of these resources has a slightly different set of info as well as
different views on how to handle all of this.

Why Iodine is an attempt to summarize most of this info so that we might find it
easier to wrap our head around.

I’ve had a lot of the same questions you’ve likely had and I’ve spent years
seeing how this stuff works out for a lot of people. I’m just trying to pass
along what I’ve learned after a pretty intense dive into iodine and nutrition.

Although iodine has been a huge part of my successful healing, so were a lot of
other nutrients. I try to keep this site mainly about iodine so it lines up with
the iodine community’s overall ideas.

But I think there is a better way of getting started with all of this. Read more
about my healing journey where I explain how metabolism works in a somewhat
simple way. Understanding what our nutrients are doing in general helped me take
healing to new levels. I have several websites in an attempt to help organize
slightly different views.

I went from assuming I was bulletproof in my early 30s to waking up on the floor
having seizures, forgetting who I was and having a hard time getting off the
couch. I’m trying to share with others how I managed to recover from this. In my
content is a story that can help anyone interested find a path to wellness. But
I’m doing this in my free time so it’s not exactly organized amazingly well.

REQUIRED SUPPLIES

Iodine is integral to health which means it can potentially help us process and
use a lot of other nutrients.

These nutrients below are the bare minimum suggested by Dr. Brownstein’s Iodine
Protocol.

I personally depended on a lot of other nutrients along my healing journey which
I explain along the way in my various sites.

This handful of nutrients can help a lot of us see how important nutrition is
for our cells. What I mean by this is these nutrients rather commonly support a
large part of our metabolism which helps us feel better which can help most
realize what’s going on in the world today.

The brands and versions of The Iodine Protocol’s nutrients mentioned below are
the best to start with in my opinion. As we continue down this path it’s likely
best to branch out into more versions of these nutrients to see which ones our
cells seem to like better, but I think what I mention here can give us the best
experience. I mention more about these nutrients in the next section and in this
website.

lot of those issues. Learn more about Vitamin C here whyiodine.com/vitamin-c

REDMOND REAL SALT

Celtic is the best all around salt. Pink should be avoided if possible. Say no
to table salt.

There are better sources available for purity but I personally do not worry
about the little bit of stuff celtic contains.

Shop Amazon

*Salt has two important nutrients we need as we try to increase our cells’
activity. Read more about the importance of salt whyiodine.com/salt

THORNE SELENIUM

Most of us do not need much selenium, but we want to provide our cells with a
little to see if they use it. We do not want to push into iodine without
selenium.

Some of the dangers associated with iodine are due to not supplementing selenium
around the same time. Read more at whyiodine.com/selenium

WHY HAVEN'T WE HEARD OF IODINE'S BENEFITS?

Iodine’s connection to health goes back thousands of years. People knew seaweed
had various healing qualities without realizing it contained iodine.

For the past 200 years, concentrated iodine has been used for dozens of purposes
in health and sanitation.

Less than 100 years ago iodine started being attacked by bogus info and slowly
removed from everything possible.

The FDA monitors and regulates iodine claiming “people might use it to make
methamphetamines” even though they have nothing to back up this claim.

It’s relatively cheap. By ignoring iodine, hundreds and potentially thousands of
profit-generating products have plenty of customers. With so many profit
potentials, who is going to take the time to invest in telling us about iodine? 


SO HOW DO I GET STARTED WITH IODINE?

The only person that knows how to get you started properly is you. Even when we
work with a doctor or anyone, we still need to be our own self-healing advocate
if we’d really like to succeed.

But we’re all so much different and there is no single starting point. Even two
people with the same body-type still lead different daily lives and have
different adjustments to make.

Some of us do not yet realize the importance of what we’re going for here. This
page may help put the situation into perspective whyiodine.com/start

There is really no easy way to cut this. We need to learn more about our
environment and a handful of important nutrients. Several generations have been
tricked into ignoring the important aspects of leading a healthy life, and now
we have a lot of work to do.


CLEAN ENVIRONMENT & DIET

If we continue to absorb toxins with our skin, stomach, and lungs all day, we
will never get ahead of the curve. Learn more about our common toxic exposures
and ways to clean up out diet in The Detox Section


INCREASE UNREFINED SALT INTAKE

Quality salt is required for proper cell function. Learn more about salt at
whyiodine.com/salt


GET MORE MAGNESIUM

Iodine is going to allow our body to do a lot of stuff it’s likely been behind
on for a while. Magnesium is involved in a large majority of these processes.
Learn more about the benefits from more than one form of Magnesium at
whyiodine.com/magnesium


GET SELENIUM, BUT NOT TOO MUCH

Selenium is just as important as iodine for a lot of us, we just need to avoid
taking it daily for extended periods of time without feeling our body do
anything with it. Read more about selenium at whyiodine.com/selenium


INCREASE VITAMIN C INTAKE

As all of these nutrients help us catch up, vitamin C is needed in order to
clean up the oxidative mess created. Learn more at whyiodine.com/vitamin-c


START SLOW WITH IODINE

Now that our body has access to a few important nutrients, small amounts of
iodine should help us move forward.

By going slow we can always back off without having to wait long to level off
again. Read about my experience here whyiodine.com/low-and-slow

Once we understand what we’re doing, we may be able to try larger amounts of
iodine to see how it works for us.

The healing community commonly uses a form of iodine called Lugols. I have laid
out the common brands people buy here whyiodine.com/iodine-buyers-guide and
explain more about the different types of iodine here
whyiodine.com/which-iodine. I personally think it’s important to get starting
with small amounts of iodine, so nascent works great for getting started, but
eventually we’ll want to get into lugols in order to push enough iodine and do
so more economically.

Thank you for reading and thanks for being part of the iodine community.
