Overview
Healing With Iodine is divided into three parts. Part 1 explains what iodine is, how it works in our body to maintain maximum health, and why most of us don’t get enough iodine in our diet. Part 2 looks at the many current uses iodine plays in today’s treatments. It also offers guidelines for finding the right iodine, and how it should be used. Part 3 looks at some of our most common health problems, including thyroid disorders, heart disease, and cancer as well as cognitive issues. It also explains how each is related to iodine deficiency, and what can be done to avoid these issues.
Dr. Sircus points out that there is a growing movement in the health community to use iodine as a treatment offer, however for too many of us continue to be unaware of just how crucial iodine can to supporting our daily metabolism. Here is, in fact, a red flag that offers the type of information that we should all be aware of. And for many, it may be just the thing that helps us avoid or overcome some of these common disorders.

Preface
–Dr. Guy E. Abraham, MDAccording to Dr. Guy E. Abraham, founder of the Iodine Project, “The essential element iodine has been kept in the Dark Ages over the last 60 years after World War II. We need to remedy the gross neglect of this essential element by the medical profession, poorly represented in medical textbooks and vilified in endocrine publications.” Dr. Abraham insisted rediscovering iodine as the universal medicine is crucial. Iodine held this esteemed position for over 100 years before World War II, and now we are finally coming to see we cannot live without it. Iodine is essential for survival in the 21st century.
Dr. Michael Zimmerman, in his article in The Journal of Nutrition, follows the history of iodine’s use in modern science:In 1811, Courtois noted a violet vapor arising from burning seaweed ash, and Gay-Lussac subsequently identified the vapor as iodine, a new element. The Swiss physician Coindet, in 1813, hypothesized the traditional treatment of goiter with seaweed was effective because of its iodine content and successfully treated goitrous patients with iodine. Two decades later, the French chemist Boussingault, working in the Andes Mountains, was the first to advocate prophylaxis with iodine-rich salt to prevent goiter. The French chemist Chatin was the first to publish, in 1851, the hypothesis that iodine deficiency was the cause of goiter. In 1883, Semon suggested myxedema was due to thyroid insufficiency and the link between goiter, myxedema, and iodine was established when, in 1896, Baumann and Roos discovered iodine in the thyroid. In the first 2 decades of the 20th century, pioneering studies by Swiss and American physicians demonstrated the efficacy of iodine prophylaxis in the prevention of goiter and cretinism. Switzerland’s iodized salt program has been operating uninterrupted since 1922. Today, control of the iodine deficiency disorders is an integral part of most national nutrition strategies.
—Michael B. Zimmermann, Oxford Academic, Google ScholarSome might say that the takeover by pharmaceutical medicine is a business driven science. Consider this: While the medical establishment treats patients with vaccines, psychiatric medicines, statin drugs, and antibiotics, these drugs have created a series of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria that people are increasingly dying from. Hundreds of millions are slated to die from these infections over the next few decades, so it’s better not to be caught flat-footed without iodine in the house.Iodine is a protocol medicine, meaning it should be studied and used in the context of other similar basic medicines, that when combined with a number of other natural compounds give patients and doctors more medical power to fight disease. When we visit fine emergency rooms or intensive care wards, we discover the secrets they would hide from us. Secrets like magnesium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and selenium, all used to save lives in a heartbeat. And in the same way, iodine is a bedrock medicine, meaning we cannot be healthy without it.This book is designed to present a clear understanding of the healing properties of iodine. In Part 1 you will be introduced to the basics of iodine as a crucial medicine; its many roles in healing and preventing disease, and how iodine deficiency has been linked to major illnesses. It takes a look at iodine as a nutritional drug, a therapeutic agent, and the healing properties it contains. The section provides reasons to think of iodine as an anti-infectious super medicine, as a replacement for vaccines and antibiotics, and why it should be considered as a treatment for cancer.Part 2 of the book sets the foundation for understanding and a guide for the proper use of iodine, and how iodine works to combat toxins (heavy metals and halogen poisons) in our body. It provides iodine product recommendations, iodine preparations, and applications, such as transdermal use, oral use, and iodine douches, as well as iodine dosages. This section also examines the dangers and risks of being exposed to radioactive iodine (I-129 and I-131) and the treatments and prevention of poisoning from radioactive iodine. You will see that iodine is one of the best antidotes for radiation poisoning.In Part 3 you will take a closer look at certain conditions and related iodine treatments. It provides an understanding of the medicinal and biologic effects of iodine. It examines the causes of and iodine treatments and preventions for diseases related to the thyroid, cancers (breast cancer and skin cancer), and heart disease. You will also learn why pediatric iodine is a wiser choice that antibiotics and vaccines for childhood infections and viruses. This section also lays out the research that shows how iodine deficiency is related to fetal brain development and the importance of iodine sufficiency during pregnancy.By the time you finish reading Healing With Iodine, you will be equipped with the knowledge of how and why iodine is a critical nutritional medicine and a nutrient the body needs in preventing and treating health problems. It is nutritional, but it is also one of the most effective medicines in the world. You will have a better understanding of why the medical community needs to focus on the importance of iodine sufficiency. The use of iodine provides the medical world with the most dramatic single thing you can do as a precaution and to restoring your well-being.
