Because Iodine is utilized by every cell in the body, it is not uncommon to have a deficiency. There is mounting evidence that iodine deficiency is becoming an alarming statistic in mineral deficiency testing (hair). The fact that iodine is a highly valent mineral, it’s important to know that it also gets pushed around by chlorine, fluorine, and bromine which are stronger and can displace iodine in the thyroid gland. Also, after an Xray or exposure to radiation (EMF) or air travel (ultraviolet microwave etc.) the iodine gets used up and leads to cellular exhaustion. Iodine has been shown to become a wellness preventative—meaning that it supports so many tissues that when it is depleted, many body systems can suffer. Don’t forget iodine has been shown to protect upper lymph tissues (breast) and build spleen/immunity just as its natural function. Light in a bottle. The reason it’s so healing is that it has 53 electrons and is full of energy!
