Iodine Products for Thyroid Support
| Iodine has a heavier atomic weight than the other nutritional halogen minerals. Iodine is chronically deficient in many people. When that occurs, their thyroid hormones can pick up any of the other HALOGEN elements and bind them to the Tyrosine molecule creating a completely dysfunctional hormone, but its dysfunction is blind to the pituitary--keeping the TSH hormone suppressed. In sufficient quantity, iodine forces Bromine, Chlorine, & Fluorine to remain unbound to Tyrosine in the T3 and T4 hormones.TSH, T3, T4 tests cannot distinguish from functional vs. non functional T3/T4. T3 and T4 can and do become disabled and dysfunctional when any Halogen (Bromine, Chlorine, Fluorine, and or Bromide, Chloride, and Fluoride bind themselves to the tyrosine to attempt to make the thyroid hormones. Unfortunately the pituitary in determining the TSH levels apparently cannot distinguish the functional (i.e. with iodine) vs. non-functional (with other halogen mineral) bound to it. Therefore despite the observed amount of T3/T4 being "sufficient", they are instead non functioning hormones. Thus the TSH remains low but so does the thyroid functioning. |

Iodoral(TM) will be the supplement that you will use to repair this issue. In my experience and according the Dr. David Brown and Dr. Guy Abraham (both M.D.'s) whose research dominates this subject, simply using Kelp will not fully support most people's deficiency.
Kelp products are not concentrated enough in iodine to add enough iodine. This issue, like so many in THE TARGET, requires that we supply the required nutrients at higher than required levels to overcome the overwhelming environmental supplies forced on our bodies. So 12.5-50 mg of the IODORAL is often needed, especially in the beginning to supply enough iodine relative the over abundance of chlorine and fluorine that are ubiquitous (everywhere) including your bath, shower, tap, and swimming pool waters. Bromine is common in many breads, & many allergy, cough and cold medicines.
