Iodine Replacement Therapy
Hi,
This is Dr. Ken O'Neal with an episode of "TLC" ...
Teaching, Learning, and Caring for your health ...
Today we’re going to talk about iodine. For many, many years,
even since the Civil War, American physicians have known that
iodine is an essential element and that it’s necessary for
good health. Here’s a little bottle of Lugol’s iodine
[2 oz.], … this kind of iodine was used by American physicians
for all of a hundred years. From 1861 to 1961 the majority of
physicians in the United States, used Lugol’s iodine for
their patients, …not just for thyroid problems, but for
many other ailments as well, with great success.
The R.D.A. (Recommended Daily Allowance) in America is 100 micrograms,
which is one-tenth of a one milligram. But, there are many indications
and research that shows that this is far too small of a level.
In recent years, there has been a sort of iodineophobia, and formerly
iodine was even put in bread, just like it’s put in iodized
salt. But, about twenty years ago, due to the [supposed] fear
of “excessive iodine,” it was taken out of the bread
and in its place bromide was put in bread, which is a thyroid
toxin. Without having iodine saturation in the body, it’s
hard for the body to get rid of excess halides … which are
all very caustic and hyper-reactive when it has fluoride, chloride,
and bromide (which we have through our drinking water), medicinals,
and other things. Now, compared to our R.D.A., people in Japan
take twelve and a half milligrams a day in their diet …
that’s milligrams … that’s 1250 micrograms as
compared to our RDA of 100 micrograms.
In the United States, one of the top researchers
and brilliant physicians, Dr. Guy Abraham, M.D., former Endocrinologist
… a professor who taught on the subject of iodine and other
endocrine plans at U.C.L.A. medical school and also now he has
his own company and continues to do research on iodine. He and
several medical colleagues did a project called “The Iodine
Project,” in which they checked 4000 patients with high
dose iodine therapy … not only did it not hurt them, but
it helped various conditions … goiter, was reduced and eliminated;
pituitary stress was eliminated, as indicated in lower TSH (thyroid
stimulating hormone) readings; they found increased excretion
of fluoride, bromide, and chloride, as well as heavy metals …
lead, arsenic, mercury were excreted in much larger amounts when
the body was saturated with iodine; the liver’s detoxification
mechanisms were improved; diabetes was much easier to control
when a patient had saturation of iodine in the body; blood pressure,
as well, was much better controlled; fibrocystic breast disease
was resolved in some cases; brain function was better …patients
complained less of “brain fog”; and, cancer rates,
especially thyroid cancer, and cancer of the breast were reduced.
We know that you can test your body for the amount
of iodine you need in a real simple way called “the iodine
test” … we have a short video of that, which demonstrates
how to do that. The results of the skin test with iodine correlate
very well with the 24-hour urine, the more technical, scientific
and medically accurate test. That [iodine test] was also developed,
by the way, by Dr. Guy Abraham. As with any kind of therapy, proceed
slowly with the help, support, and recommendations of your chosen
health care provider, naturopath, medical doctor … whoever
helps you with your health issues.
So, this very, very important nutrient, in the
right amounts, can make major improvements in your health. Why
not check out the information for yourself on the website, learn
how to test yourself for it, and then give it a try. I think you’ll
be glad you did as you see improvements in your symptoms.

Iodine Patch Test
I’m now going to demonstrate how you can test yourself for
whether you have enough iodine in your body or not, it’s
called the “iodine patch test” … you simply
take a bottle of Lugol’s iodine, or another form of iodine,
put some of it on your skin … let it absorb into your skin
… in the area of about one-inch square is sufficient, of
course, we let it dry, we can see the reddish-brown color of the
iodine.
How to interpret the results of the test are:
if all of this color is absorbed through your skin into the body
in less then eight hours, you have a very severe deficiency of
iodine in your body; eight to sixteen hours, you have a moderate
deficiency; sixteen to twenty-four hours, you have a slight to
moderate deficiency. Only if it takes twenty-four hours or more
for this to slowly fade away, does it indicate that you have enough
iodine in your body, …which, according to Dr. Guy Abraham,
is 1500 milligrams total quantity of iodine in a full-saturated
iodine patient.
This is a simple way, and although it is
easy to do, it apparently correlates very well with the much more
scientific, medical, and technical way of testing for iodine,
which is to take a loading dose and check a 24-hour urine [sample]
to see how much of it you’ve dumped out of your body, …the
rest of it, presumably, having been absorbed into your tissues.
This is an easy way … you can do this test every one to
two weeks, as you’re trying to do your loading on the Lugol’s
iodine, as outlined by Dr. Guy Abraham, M.D..
(In the case of Hashimoto’s Disease, Iodine should not be used.)
