Traditionally, the importance of iodine to the biological
function of the body was focused on iodine’s role in the
nourishment of the thyroid gland, particularly for the production
of T3 and T4 hormones and the regulation of metabolism. However, as
the understanding of this nutrient has progressed, we come to
understand that the role of iodine in the body far surpasses what
most thought, and is not only necessary for overall health, but a
crucial component of the detoxification process.
What is Nascent Iodine?
Nascent Iodine is a consumable iodine in its atomic form rather
than its molecular form. It is an iodine atom that has an
incomplete number of electrons. It is paramagnetic. What does that
mean? Well, it means that the iodine atoms can hold an
electromagnetic charge. While this all might sound a little like a
flashback to chemistry class, the most important thing to
understand is that Nascent Iodine has a huge energy release when
consumed. This “charged” state is held by the atom until diluted in
water and consumed, whereby it gradually loses energy over a 2-3
hour time span. During this time, Nascent Iodine is recognized by
the body as the same iodine that is produced by the thyroid and is
absorbed effortlessly by the body.
Is Nascent Iodine the Same as Detoxified Iodine or Atomic
Iodine?
No, Detoxified Iodine is a coined name that for many years has
been produced at 10 amps for five minutes with a high volume of
iodine in solution. An iodine process that according to Edgar Cayce
gives the molecule of iodine additional energy making it easier to
assimilate into the body.
Nascent Iodine is also totally different from the typical iodine
in its denser state sold as an antiseptic, or as iodine
tri-chloride (claiming to be atomized), or as added to potassium
iodide to make it soluble in liquid. It is also unlike glandular or
prescriptions containing hormones that take over the thyroid's job,
instead of nutritionally building the thyroid to do its own job.
Seaweed, seafood, greens, raw sunflower seeds, are good sources of
iodine, but may not have the levels necessary to support the
thyroid fully for good homeostasis in the body. Sources from
seaweed may also contain undesirable levels of arsenic.
Where is Iodine Used in the Body?
All the cells in your body contain and make use of iodine. It is
concentrated in the glandular system of your body, with your
thyroid containing the highest amount compared to any other organ.
Significant amounts are also stockpiled in numerous other areas of
the body including the salivary glands, cerebrospinal fluid and the
brain, gastric mucosa, choroid plexus, breasts, and ovaries.
How soon will I feel the effects of Nascent Iodine?
Some of our clients have noticed additional energy on the first
day after taking Nascent Iodine. If you already suffer from an
iodine deficiency, you are most likely to notice the effect
sooner.
Iodine and Radiation
In light of the Japan Nuclear plant melt-down, there is much
news about using iodine and other foods for protection. For more

Increase Certain Food Consumption to Protect Against
Radiation
Ingredients
Nascent Iodine in a base of organic grain alcohol. (2% Iodine by
weight / 400mcg of nascent iodine per drop)
Usage
Depending upon desired effect. One drop = 400mcg of iodine. If
using for additional energy and general improved health take up to
6 drops daily. Frequent small doses are more effective than larger
amounts at less frequent intervals. Always take on an empty
stomach. Most will find that it is important to build up gradually
in order to experience the least amount of detoxification
symptoms.
Recommended: Take on an empty stomach 30 minutes before or 1
hour after meals, medications and/or supplements. Taking it after 4
PM could raise your energy levels and keep you awake at night. It
is recommended to take before breakfast, before lunch and then
again before 4 PM
