Iodine protects the thyroid gland from radiation damage

Iodine protects the thyroid gland from radiation damage
But not all the iodine available is the same.


by Robert Redfern, your personal health coach.


You may have heard about Iodine from the media reporting on Japan's nuclear catastrophe and the fear that winds or rain could spread radiation around the world as happened in the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. I remember this well as we were living on North Wales in the UK at the time, where so much radioactive rain fell that the sheep became radioactive.


There has been a panic rush to purchase potassium iodide (a compound of potassium and Iodine, the sort found in junk salt), which has traditionally been recommended by scientists to protect your glandular system from radiation poisoning.


The Japanese and other South East Asian governments are handing out this supplement in huge quantities to the survivors and to other citizens at risk. In an ideal world we would be getting Organic Iodine in our foods rather than taking potassium iodide (a synthetic form).


Here at Naturally Healthy Publications, we've received many requests from people wanting to know where they can find available supplies of Iodine.


At present Nascent Iodine (the nearest form of iodine closest to Organic Iodine) is the iodine supplement my whole family use everyday to stay healthy and radiation sickness is the last thing on our minds. You need this everyday just for good health.


What is iodine?


Iodine is a basic element or mineral that doctors realized over 100 years ago was critical to human health.


We now know we cannot live without it and deficiency is a contributory factor in many disease. They also realized that it is a rare mineral (47th in abundance) and it was missing in the average diet due to shortages in the soil and industrialized farming methods and it has only got worse in the junk industrialized food culture.


The form of iodine we should be ingesting should be Organic Iodine which is only available in the diet through seaweed like kelp and some seafoods. 


Unfortunately table salt was chosen as the method to supplement iodine in the population but they chose potassium iodide to add to sodium to make table salt as they did not fully understand organic iodine and its colloidal properties. 


I do not fully understand why they take out all of the other 65 minerals from the sea salt which would have saved countless lives.


How is organic iodine different than iodine?


The mineral, iodine is highly poisonous as basic element and it takes only three grains to kill you. 


When a plant absorbs iodine (or any minerals) from the soil or mineral it converts it to an non-toxic organic form (or better described as colloidal form). 


Organic (colloidal) Mineral research became popular in the 1930's and a leading researcher, Dr Watson demonstrated drinking a glass full of colloidal iodine to show its safety. 


As no land based food containing iodine can easily be identified (even organic foods), there is only seaweed and seafoods in high quantities containing organic iodine.


The closest you can get (and what my family take) to Organic Iodine is the product Nascent Iodine

Why boost my organic iodine levels to protect against radiation? If your body does not get enough of any mineral and in this case iodine then your body may take in the next (available) mineral on the periodic table.


Radioactivity contains radioactive iodine and therefore anyone deficient in iodine is at risk of absorbing this radioactive iodine which will end up all over the body in all of the places where iodine is used and especially the thyroid.


Radioactive Iodine has a life of 15 million years and so supplementation is essential throughout the lives of anyone exposed to radioactivity. 


Therefore the important thing is to get iodine into your body in a safe supplement form. This does not have to be "potassium iodide" if there is a safer supplement is available. It can also be in the form of Nascent Iodine, which is a high-quality iodine supplement that has been available in the natural product marketplace for several years. 


(Do NOT drink topical antiseptic iodine products as they may be toxic). 


To protect against radioactive contamination take 10-drops of Nascent Iodine 4 times per day.


What is iodine used for in the body normally?


Symptoms of iodine deficiency include:


Muscle cramps,
Cold hands and feet,
Proneness to weight gain,
Poor memory,
Constipation,
Depression and headaches,
Edema,
Myalgia,
Weakness,
Dry skin and brittle nails,
Selenium deficiency - Iodine is essential for utilization of selenium,
Fluoride poisoning - If iodine not in the diet then fluoride will be absorbed.


Iodine deficiency has been linked to:


Hypothyroid
Breast and other Cancers
Fatigue
Fibrocystic Breasts
Graves Disease
Hashimotos's Disease
Immune dysfunction
ADHD
Mental Retardation - The prime cause is iodine deficiency.


It is also essential as a co-factor for the proper use of another critical trace mineral called selenium which is also no longer in the food chain and needs supplementation.


Do I need take iodine supplements daily?


The simple answer is yes. It is highly likely that everyone, including and especially children, need to take an iodine supplement. Doctors insisted on governments ensuring iodine supplementation over 100 years ago for every member of the public which is why potassium iodide was added to sodium to make table salt. 


Now doctors are aware of just how bad table salt (inc. the junk salt added to processed foods) is and are quite rightly telling their patients to STOP consuming this junk table salt. 


Even the best, sea-salt, rock salt and the latest craze, Himalayan Rock salt, do not have sufficient organic iodine to ensure good health. 


Seaweeds and sea food may have enough but you would need to check and make sure you were eating the correct levels.


Will taking iodine interfere with the drugs I am taking for my thyroid?


It is highly likely that those taking an iodine supplement or eating high levels of certain seafoods may need to lower the use of thyroid drugs. 


They therefore need to seek advice on how to measure the suitability of these drugs.


Sources for Iodine


Nascent Iodine - in a dropper bottle that enable precise measuring of the dose and especially for children.


Seaweed (kelp and Kombu) up to one oz daily for normal supplementation and normally and up to 3 ounces in emergencies, dried Variable; may be greater than 18,000 mcg (18 mg) per ounce.


Potassium Iodide supplements from your health store or multi-Vit formulas containing it.


Remember: Iodine is a mineral that is critical to your families good health and is not normally in todays diet.

The Decade of Vaccines - Bill Gates continues his attempt to gain support
Bill Gates chooses to ignore valid independent studies that indicate there are causal links between the damage done by vaccines and the vaccines received. The picture of chronic disease of children as recent as the 1950's was almost non-existent. At the present time, nearly half of our children suffer with some form of a chronic disease during childhood and one in four is condemned to a lifetime of disease. This dramatic rise in the rate of childhood disease directly mirrors the introduction of more and more vaccines to the CDC's aggressive schedule.

日本地震製造鋰電池與半導體的工廠工廠停產 iPad供應受威脅

工廠停產 iPad供應受威脅
 (明報)2011年3月15日 星期二

【明報專訊】日本    地震令全球產業鏈元氣大傷。災區多家製造鋰電池與半導體的工廠停工，直接衝擊手提電腦與iPad等電子產品的供應，DRAM與NAND記憶體現貨價昨同步大漲。鋼鐵、塑膠與化工製品的供應亦因日本部分企業停產而受壓，令相關原料價格波動。

佔全球逾五成半導體矽晶圓供應的信越與SUMCO兩家公司因地震生產受限制，野村證券分析指出，一旦出現長時間停產，將對半導體工業構成明顯衝擊。供應全球三分之一NAND快閃記憶體的東芝亦宣布位於震區的半導體工廠無限期停產。NAND是iPad等電子產品的重要部件。

DRAM電腦記憶體的供應同樣受衝擊。市場擔心矽晶圓短期供應短缺，台灣    集豐科技調查顯示，DRAM現貨價昨日上升了逾5％，NAND主流的32Gb MLC現貨價上升了8.35％。

韓國    與台灣半導體生產商均依賴日本提供矽晶圓等原料。地震令市場預期晶片價格上升及日本以外生產商的生意額增加，全球第二大記憶體生產商Hynix的股價急升9％，但Hynix首席財務官Kim Min-chul警告，地震可能令晶片元件供應中斷，導致Hynix的生產程序與日本同行一樣受干擾。多個台灣半導體廠則稱，由於廠商普遍設有安全庫存，短期營運受影響有限，但若日本供應在較長時間內無法恢復，將會對台企的營運造成衝擊。

鋼鐵產能跌 亞洲鋼價看漲

地震據報影響了日本約20％的鋼鐵產能，中國鋼鐵行業信息門戶網站「我的鋼鐵網」昨發表報告指出，日本鋼廠停產導致出口量下降、鐵礦石需求減少，亞洲市場鋼材價格將因此走高，亞洲地區的汽車廠、造船廠和家電廠都可能受衝擊，但中國大型鋼廠或因原料減少和鋼價上漲受益。報告研判，受本次地震影響的鋼廠將需要最少停產6個月，每月減產量約為正常水平的30％。

攜百萬人民幣抵日 中國首善購五車麵包賑災

攜百萬人民幣抵日 中國首善購五車麵包賑災
 (星島)2011年3月14日 星期一
(綜合報道)

(星島日報    報道)日本    的強震和海嘯，世界為之震驚，國際社會紛紛伸出援手。在中國內地有「首善」之稱的江蘇民企老闆陳光標，率領香港的五名員工等人，抵達日本災區展開救災行動。由十五人組成的中國國際救援隊亦已於昨乘機抵達日本重災區之一的岩手縣花卷市。

「我們正在去仙台的路上，路面有開裂的、滑坡的、歪斜的，已經堵車四五個小時，距離仙台還有二百多公里」。昨日上午，正在日本救災的江蘇黃埔再生資源利用有限公司董事長陳光標對中新社記者說。

中國救援隊今協助搜救

陳光標在中國大陸有「首善」稱號，多年來在內地的捐助善款達十多億人民幣。二○○八年五月十二日四川    地震時，他也是當天出發趕往災區，成為第一個趕到災區的民間救災隊成員。上月，他前往台灣    進行慈善捐助，引起兩岸媒體熱議。

日本上周五發生地震和海嘯後，陳光標當天取出了一百萬元人民幣現金，交給日本華人兌換，乘坐航班於當天夜裏抵達日本。次日，日本友人將兌換好的一千二百萬日圓    交給他，他在當地租用貨車，購買了五車礦泉水、麵包、口罩、手電筒等應急物資。與他同行的，還有黃埔再生資源在香港的五名員工、幾名日本友人和翻譯，一行共十三人。

「我的運氣好，買完物資當天下午就實行限購了。」他說。 陳光標的目的地是東岸城市。「在車上聽音機，翻譯說，有一些中國人還困在宮城，我們就準備去宮城的仙台」。

另一方面，由十五人組成的中國國際救援隊已於昨晚六時四十分乘機抵達日本地震重災區之一的岩手縣花卷市，隨即密鑼緊鼓地進行準備於今日一早投入搜救工作。這是日本首次接受中國搜救隊援助。

日清派發百萬包即食麵

日本企業也不遺餘力賑災，最大即食麵製造商日清食品周日宣布，會為東北部災民提供一百萬包即食麵。日清表示將派出「廚房車」，車內設有煤氣煮食爐和自來水，讓災民煮麵。三得利株式會社也宣布，將向災區提供三十六萬支樽裝水。
