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 of resistance 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 high 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.
