It does this by producing hormones that<br />

control metabolism on the cellular level.<br />

And here’s what very few people realize:<br />

These thyroid hormones, absolutely<br />

essential to life and health, are made up<br />

almost entirely of the relatively rare<br />

element iodine!<br />

Unfortunately, your body produces<br />

no iodine of its own... your diet<br />

probably doesn’t provide enough... and<br />

you lose massive amounts of iodine<br />

daily through urination!<br />

And without a sufficient amount of the<br />

“raw material” iodine, your thyroid can’t<br />

produce enough thyroid hormones —<br />

known as thyroizine (T4) and<br />

triiodothyronine (T3) — for your body to<br />

function properly.<br />

The Growing Epidemic of Iodine<br />

Deficiency & Thyroid Disorders<br />

According to the World Health<br />

Organization, as many as 1.5 billion<br />

people worldwide suffer from iodine<br />

deficiency ... 740 million from iodinedeficiency<br />

disorders ... and 50 million<br />

A Simple Home Test to<br />

Test for Iodine Deficiency<br />

Take some tincture of iodine (you can<br />

buy this at your local grocery store) and<br />

a Q-Tip and paint a spot the size of a<br />

silver dollar on your stomach or thigh.<br />

If your iodine level is normal, the patch<br />

will still be there 24 hours later.<br />

However, if the patch has disappeared in<br />

less than 24 hours, it’s likely that you’re<br />

iodine deficient and could have an<br />

underactive thyroid.<br />

from some degree of IDD-related<br />

brain damage 1 .<br />

If you’re getting less than 50 to 100<br />

micro grams (mcg) a day of iodine,<br />

you’re likely suffering from a mild to<br />

moderate iodine deficiency that can<br />

cause persistent weight gain, fatigue,<br />

constipation, unexplained aches and<br />

pains, sensitivity to cold, joint aches, dry<br />

skin, hair loss, irregular menstrual cycles,<br />

memory loss and confusion, fluid<br />

retention, and elevated cholesterol levels.<br />

If you get less than 20 mcg a day of<br />

iodine, you likely have a severe iodine<br />

deficiency that can lead to serious, even<br />

life-threatening ailments, including<br />

mental retardation, elevated cholesterol<br />

levels and perhaps breast tumors.<br />

Malfunctioning Thyroids Linked to<br />

a Host of Serious Health Problems<br />

A hundred years ago, doctors blamed<br />

insufficient dietary iodine for the<br />

epidemic of goiters ... or enlarged<br />

thyroid glands.<br />

Now, scientists are beginning to<br />

suspect that iodine deficiencies may be<br />

behind some of the modern world’s<br />

worst health problems, including the<br />

epidemic of breast tumors in North<br />

America and Europe.<br />

Japanese women, whose incidence of<br />

breast tumors is among the lowest in the<br />

world, get as much as 25 times more<br />

iodine than American women (due<br />

largely to the consumption of iodine-rich<br />

seafoods and seaweed).<br />

That’s why some scientists believe<br />

there is a correlation between thyroid<br />

ailments and increased risk of<br />

breast tumors 2 .<br />
