Iodine and Heart Disease
| This brief post by Dr. Sircus caught my attention because I have been addressing the importance of Iodin since I first began practicing 50 years ago. I’ve had the Iodine PatchTest on my website for nearly that long. I first began recommending Edgar Cayce’s Atomidine and when the original formula was changed I went to Phil Thomas’s Detoxified Iodine which was Cayce’s original Atomidine. I have used Lugol’s Solution invented in 1829 by the French physician Jean Guillaume Auguste Lugol as a cure for tuberculosis. It is a solution of elemental iodine (5%), potassium iodide (10%) and distilled water with great success and now I use MBI’s Biodine whose dose is just one drop daily along with the others as needed. Iodine And Heart Health According to Dr. Stephen A. Hoption Cann, Department of Health Care and Epidemiology, University of British Columbia, iodine deficiency can have deleterious effects on the cardiovascular system, and correspondingly, a higher iodine intake may benefit cardiovascular function.Dr. Michael Donaldson says, “Iodine stabilizes the heart rhythm, lowers serum cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, and is known to make the blood thinner as well, judging by longer clotting times seen by clinicians. Iodine is not only good for the cardiovascular system, it is vital. Sufficient Iodine is needed for a stable rhythmic heartbeat. Iodine, directly or indirectly, can normalize serum cholesterol levels and normalize blood pressure. Iodine attaches to insulin receptors and improves glucose metabolism. Iodine and iodine-rich foods have long been used as a treatment for hypertension and cardiovascular disease; yet, modern randomized studies examining the effects of Iodine on cardiovascular disease have not been carried out .”CONTINUE READING ON DR.
