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 information about this topic,

You Need To Boost Your Iodine Levels and 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
