let’s talk about the eight unexpected

benefits

of iodine now iodine is this trace

mineral now you don’t need a lot of it

but you definitely need the right amount

and if you don’t have the right amount

all sorts of things can happen in your

body simply because every single cell in

the entire body needs iodine not just

the thyroid now your thyroid is the

iodine hog it’ll tend to suck up a lot

of the iodine you have and not leave

much for anything else so just because

your thyroid is working and you don’t

have any thyroid symptoms doesn’t mean

you have

ample amounts of iodine so it’s not just

about having adequate amounts of iodine

it’s about having enough for all of your

cells and unfortunately the current

rdas for iodine are way too low it’s

recommended that we need about 150

micrograms per day

but people in japan which have very

little rates of breast cancer ovarian

cancer prostate cancer are consuming a

hundred times that amount

but it’s mainly from sea cal because sea

kelp is one of the best sources of

iodine now i want to be totally

transparent with you i do have a dr berg

brand seek help and yes i do have a very

strong bias on my own brand as far as

the quality and where it’s sourced from

but here’s my point a lot of people are

deficient in iodine and unfortunately

it’s just not in our foods anymore

unless you’re consuming foods from the

ocean like shellfish or sea kelp like

seaweed etcetera now there’s a really

simple way to determine if you’re

deficient in iodine simply go to your

local drugstore and get a little bottle

of iodine and some cotton balls okay and

then what you do is you take a little

iodine put it on a cotton ball and rub

it either on the inside of your upper

arm or your forearm or the inside of

your leg roughly in about a two inch

diameter now make sure it doesn’t touch

your other clothes because it can stain

your clothes and you could put a

band-aid over it if you want but if

you’re deficient

within one hour

it’ll be gone the stain will be gone

because your skin absorbs it so if after

an hour it’s still like orangish yellow

then you’re usually not deficient but i

would say probably over a billion people

on this planet have an iodine deficiency

and a lot more of them have a

subclinical iodine deficiency that might

not show up

if people are just focusing on the

thyroid symptoms i mean our bodies

utilize iodine for many different

reasons

one really interesting way it uses

iodine is

detoxifying mercury

lead when you get enough iodine and

you’re exposed to lead and mercury

you’ll see higher levels coming through

the urine because your body is able to

get rid of it also in your body’s

ability to detoxify fluoride

and bromide okay which is in a lot of

the flower products which has the

ability to deplete iodine but of course

if you’ve been watching my videos you

don’t have to worry about that because

you’re not consuming refined grains so

what i want to do with this video is

show you all the unexpected

benefits of having sufficient iodine

that really don’t have a lot to do with

the thyroid okay number one its ability

to shrink cysts okay cysts that are

developing in the breast tissue like in

fibrocystic breast

cysts on the ovaries

cysts in your uterus and of course cysts

even on the thyroid these cysts that are

created

if they just don’t have enough iodine

over time they develop in two nodules

and they can also develop into cancer

that’s why iodine has anti-cancer

properties and iodine is really good at

regulating

estrogen dominance if too much estrogen

iodine can help bring that down to a

normal level okay number two i’ve done a

whole video on this iodine helps to

reduce the size of skin tags and warts

if you haven’t seen my video on that i

put that down below all right next one

is in its ability to help break down

connective tissue in a condition called

duperton’s contracture that’s a

situation where you have scar tissue on

some of your tendons in your finger and

your fingers just like stuck you’d want

to put topical iodine on there each day

and within about a month you should see

some pretty good results and that

relates to the next benefit

scar regeneration so let’s say for

example you have a keloid

or

some surgical scar

and you put iodine into that scar each

day over a period of about a month

you’re going to see some pretty cool

results you might even see hair growth

that occurs right over the scar now if

you’re concerned about it staining your

skin they do have a type of iodine that

is clear that doesn’t stain your skin

but iodine helps break down

scar tissue all right the next

unexpected benefit would be on your mood

if you have depression iodine many times

can improve it now

they don’t know exactly why it could be

because it’s improving your thyroid

gland which can bring up your mood or

could be involved in certain um

neurotransmitters in your brain they

don’t know but iodine can actually bring

you up mood wise all right next one it

can help shrink

uh stones in your parotid glands now

your product gland helps you make saliva

so having enough iodine can even prevent

those stones from occurring iodine can

help reduce hot flashes as well as heavy

menstrual cycles

because of what it does to estrogen it

helps to balance estrogen and last very

cool effect is it can help reduce cystic

acne which by the way is many times

related to

too much estrogen now the next video i

want you to watch is a more

comprehensive video about iodine which i

think you’ll very much enjoy even though

it was a very old video so check it out

i put it right here
