Iodine does not cause problems in people it cures them through the fulfillment of nutritional law. Iodine is absolutely essential for human development and health.
This site and the book you will find here is about one of the most useful of all medicinal substances Iodine can be used in many different ways depending on the presenting clinical situation. It can be taken orally, applied transdermally, vaporized in a nebulizer for application into the lungs and used in douches. Iodine is not just a thyroid stimulator - it has many functions in the body and thus uses in medicine.
Never has there ever been a greater need for a safe broad band anti-pathogen agent like iodine. Though iodine kills 90 percent of bacteria on the skin within 90 seconds its use as an antibiotic has been ignored.
Iodine exhibits activity against bacteria, molds, yeasts, protozoa, and many viruses; indeed, of all antiseptic preparations suitable for direct use on humans and animals and upon tissues, only iodine is capable of killing all classes of pathogens: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses and protozoa. Most bacteria are killed within 15 to 30 seconds of contact.
A National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data showed moderate to severe iodine deficiency is present in a significant proportion of people, with a clear increasing trend over the past 20 years. Along with magnesium and selenium, iodine is one of the most deficient minerals in our bodies. Dr. David Brownstein says, “After testing over 500 patients, I found that 94.7% of my patients are deficient in inorganic iodine.” Despite its being critical to normal neurocognitive development only 51% of US prenatal multivitamin brands contain any iodine.
Though iodine kills 90 percent of bacteria on the skin within a minute or so of its application, its use as an antibiotic has been ignored. Iodine exhibits activity against bacteria, molds, yeasts, protozoa, and many viruses; only iodine is capable of killing all classes of pathogens. A feeling of security for a parent comes from administering a nutritional medicinal like iodine. It is what I give my children instead of dangerous antibiotics when they are sick. It is what I use when the first symptoms of flu approach sparing my young ones the worst of that misery.
Humans tolerate large doses of iodine but high doses that were used many decades ago are not required to get the most out of iodine therapy. Just a little goes a long way, as the governmental iodized salt programs showed but this dosage level was only affective for Goiter. It actually takes very little iodine to prevent this disease but no one ever said that was the only purpose and need for iodine in the body. Today people are more deficient then ever before because our need for iodine has increased in direct proportion to our toxic burdens especially of other competing halogens.
In sufficient amounts iodine can not only adjust a dysfunctional thyroid, it can assist with a host of glandular imbalances as well as a wide assortment of internal as well as external bacteria, fungi, and virus's. Importantly poor immune response is correlated with impaired thyroid function. Iodine has many non-endocrine biologic effects, including the role it plays in the physiology of the inflammatory response. Iodides increase the movement of granulocytes into areas of inflammation and improve the ability of granulocytes to kill bacteria.
In my Winning the War on Cancer book iodine is presented as a vital component of cancer treatment. Dr. Tullio Simoncini uses iodine to treat skin cancer and doctors use iodine orally to treat other forms of cancer. Transdermal iodine application is perfect for treating breast cancer (painting the breasts with iodine). Studies have demonstrated a relationship between low iodine intake and fibrocystic disease of the breast, both in women and laboratory animals. The first thing that happens to a woman when she develops an iodine deficiency is problems with reproductive organs and her breasts.
Dr. Kenezy Gyula Korhaz states that iodine chelates heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and aluminum and halogens such as fluoride and bromide, thus decreasing their iodine inhibiting effects. Iodine increases the excretion these foreign elements with bromide and fluoride not being removed from the thyroid by any other chelator or detoxifying technique. Hallogens having structures similar to iodine can competitively inhibit iodine absorption and binding. Detox reactions are minimized when starting with low doses and when such reactions are monitored.
According to Dr. Stephen A. Hoption Cann "Iodine deficiency can have deleterious effects on the cardiovascular system, and correspondingly, that a higher iodine intake may benefit cardiovascular function." Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism have been shown to have negative effects on the heart. Clinical cardiovascular features of hypothyroidism include: bradycardia, reduced cardiac output, increased pericardial and pleural effusions, increased diastolic blood pressure and peripheral vasoconstriction.
Dr. Michael Donaldson says, “Iodine stabilizes the heart rhythm, lowers serum cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, and is known to make the blood thinner as well, judging by longer clotting times seen by clinicians. Iodine is not only good for the cardiovascular system, it is vital.

About our e-Books
Dr. Sircus has done it again. He has written a wonderful book on iodine that shows the benefits of iodine for treating a wide range of disorders and how you can incorporate iodine into your daily lifestyle. This book should be in everyone's library.
Dr. David Brownstein, author Iodine - Why You Need It
The protocol has been called Natural Chemo when used for cancer patients and Natural Emergency Medicine when used in emergency situations. Our IMVA protocol offers raw healing horsepower as well as a paradigm shift in treatment focus.
Though physicians might choose to administer parts of the protocol intravenously we teach patients how to administer the protocol safely at home with oral and transdermal methods of application.
Imagine receiving your medical treatment right in the comfort of your own home like this.
Dr. Mark Sircus is one of the best health writer, researchers living! He is truly amazing and I want to help him spread his powerful and useful medical information.
Dr. Garry Gordon
Known as the "father" of chelation theory and practice; many informed people consider Dr. Gordon as one of the most brilliant medical doctors on earth.
