Iodine
is utilized by every hormone receptor in the body.
The absence of iodine causes a hormonal dysfunction
that
can be seen with practically every hormone inside
the body.
Nascent
Iodine is
a scientific term for iodine where the iodine molecule
has the diatomic bond broken and has a high amount
of electromagnetic energy associated with it. During
the 2 to 3 hour of activation time (within the human
body, once diluted in water and consumed) the nascent
iodine atom has the ability to be of assistance
to the body. This form of iodine is produced by
subjection of a 1 % tincture of iodine to a high
electro magnetic field for a given time in order
to produce the nascent iodine state. This atomic
state and electromagnetic charge is held by the
atom until diluted in water and consumed. Once diluted
and inside the body this atom is readily absorbed
and utilized by the body. This charged atom of iodine
starts a process where it gradually loses its energy
over 2 to 3 hours. During this time the body recognizes
this atom as the same nascent iodine it produces
in the thyroid in order to make the T3 and T4 hormones.
The atomic iodine is perhaps the
least toxic and
least irritating of all the iodine formulas available.
The quality
that separates nascent iodine from all other iodine
products is that the diatomic bond is broken with
each atom keeping one of the two electrons that
had made up the covalent bond. This is known as
homolytic cleavage and causes the iodine atom to
be subject to magnetic charging. The iodine being
in the atomic state was the reason it was called
Atomidine, for Atomic Iodine (1926 to 1935). This
atomic state and large electromagnetic charge is
held by the atom until diluted in water where it
then rapidly looses its charge.
Nascent Iodine is a complete atom
no extra electrons none missing.
It was the famous psychic Edgar Cayce, who suggested
iodine for all sorts of thyroid problems, who advised
that it would be necessary to electrically charge
the iodine to change it into its "atomic"
form. This charging converts the iodine into a form
that the body can most fully recognize and assimilate.
(Iodine trichlorite claims to be atomic iodine, but
it’s not.) A true atomic iodine is the best
kind to bring the thyroid to its optimal function
because it supports and saturates the thyroid without
any toxic buildup.
Iodine is a well known topical germicidal agent effective
against a wide spectrum of organisms including bacteria,
fungi and protozoa. Iodine is normally available as
solutions, alcoholic tinctures and iodophors. Iodophors
were developed because iodine tinctures caused skin
irritation, severe hypersensitivity reactions and
systemic absorption of iodine. Iodophors are compounds
of iodine linked to carriers for iodine and only a
small amount of iodine is released minimizing toxicity,
which is not really a problem at all when iodine is
administered in its pure atomic form.
Iodine has bactericidal activity,
e.g. a 1% tincture
will kill 90% of bacteria in 90 seconds, a 5% tincture
in 60 seconds and a 7% tincture in 15 seconds.
Gershenfeld, 1968
Iodide uptake by the thyroid
is an active process.
[i]
[i] So much of the information on iodine insists that
iodine should be taken in its two major forms, iodide
and iodine. An iodide ion is an iodine atom with
a -1 charge. Compounds with iodine in formal oxidation
state -1 are called iodides. Dr. David Brownstein
wrote that “it is very difficult to get iodine into
a solution that uses water as a solvent. Therefore
as Dr. Lugol discovered, using the reduced form
of iodine (iodide) increases the solubility of iodine.”
Atomic or Nascent Iodine is not dissolved in water
but in alcohol.
I have used various iodide
preparations
for years with mixed success.
Dr. David Brownstein
Iodoral
Iodized salt and the iodine supplements usually
found in health food stores contain the iodide form
of iodine but Dr. Brownstein, one of the world’s
iodine experts has had little success treating patients
with only iodide. The supplement Iodoral contains
both the iodide (reduced) and iodine (oxidized)
forms of iodine. The US RDA for iodine is 150 mcg.
Iodoral contains 100 times (12.5 mgs) the RDAs requirement
of iodine/iodide. One drop of Nascent iodine = RDA
of 0.2 mg. If using for additional energy and general
improved health take up to 5 drops daily. That would
mean only one milligram.
We do in fact find that when taking a nascent
form of iodine, therapeutic doses are much lower.
If recommended by your healthcare professional for
assistance with a chronic health concern take 5
drops three or four times a day or as instructed
by your healthcare professional. 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 reaction. (See chapter
Iodine and Chelation) It is best when using strong
chelators, which iodine is, to moderate the amount
of detoxification symptoms or what is called the
Herxemeirs reaction, which is the experience of
poisons being dumped into the blood stream from
the cells or from large scale yeast die offs. This
is most readily controlled with iodine in the atomic
form simply because it is so easy to control and
regulate the dose.
Iodine is an easily oxidisable
substance. Food that is present in the digestive
tract will oxidize iodine to iodide which is not
corrosive to the gastrointestinal tract. Oral iodine
appears to be inactivated by combination with gastrointestinal
contents. Absorption is poor due to rapid conversion
of iodine to iodide
[ii]
[ii] and this might explain why one needs to take very
high doses of Iodoral or Lugols compared to nascent
iodine, which seems to bypass the digestive track
altogether meaning its absorption starts right in
the mouth and continues through direct penetration
of the stomach tissues. The nascent appears to go
into direct use by the body directly as soon as
it is exposed to soft tissues. This is no stretch
of the imagination since we know that iodide is
completely and rapidly absorbed throughout all areas
of the GI tract. Dr. Brownstein says that the downside
of Lugol’s solution is the taste and the dosing
of it. Lugol’s has a distinct metallic taste that
many people find offensive. The atomic iodine on
the other hand is like sipping on a heavenly gift,
you can sense in a millisecond its positive nature.
Iodide has to be converted back to the nascent form
in order to produce T3 and T4. Would the body not
recognize nascent iodine as what is needed in the
thyroid and take it there to avoid the steps of
active transport to produce nascent iodine when
it already has it available? This could explain
why some people report that they feel the atomic
form of iodine in their thyroid within 10 minutes.
Is there really time for the iodine to get into
the intestines and be converted into an iodide to
be shipped to the thyroid?
Sunkar A. Bisey a Hindu
scientist was suffering from malaria in the early
nineteen-hundreds and quinine didn't do him any
good. His life was despaired of, and a Hindu doctor,
hoping to save the life of India's greatest inventor,
sent on a few doses of a Burmese preparation, made
from seaweed, that had proved useful in treating
chronic malaria there. Bisey tried it. The effect
was electrical. He began to improve at once and
in a month was a well man. He set out to research
the contents of the seaweed and ended up producing
the compound now known as Beslin or atomic iodine.
Atomic iodine is iodine molecules broken down to
individual atoms, which is the exact form that the
body needs to make thyroid hormones. If iodine is
not in the atomic form the molecules of iodine first
need to be broken down and that of course takes
energy.
Malaria was treated
with 20 drops of nascent iodine in a half glass
of water given 4 or 5 times during the first day
and then going to 10 drops of nascent iodine 4 times
a day for 3 more days. A slide study of
the blood shows that the malaria is gone from the
body. It is interesting to note that Salem Banajeh,
Associate Professor-Child Health at Sana'a University-Sana'a-Yemen
found that case fatality for malaria is 4 times
higher in highlands compared with endemic areas.
[iii]
[iii] Iodine deficiency would explain this, which would explain
why iodine is an effective treatment for malaria.
Dr. A. Regnault, while recognizing
the great value of quinine in the treatment of malaria,
said in 1901 that it was becoming a matter of general
recognition that the quinine-series of drugs is
of service only during certain developmental periods
of the disease. It is held that the toxins are developed
with great rapidity just at the time of the division
of the parasites. In order to eliminate these toxins,
Dr. Regnault suggested the use of iodine and potassium
iodide, iodine being a body which has a special
affinity for bodies of the alkaloid class, and presumably
for the supposed analogies of these toxins. The
results obtained were reported as being very striking
in that not only were the attacks aborted, but the
action on the fever itself was striking and immediate
with chills, vomiting and malaise disappearing rapidly.
The remedies were employed in the following strength:
Tincture of Iodine and potassium iodide, of each,
1; distilled water, 25.

"Iodine has many positive
therapeutic actions. It is a potent anti-infective
agent. No virus, bacteria or parasite has been shown
to be resistant to iodine therapy,” writes Dr. Brownstein.
This is an incredible statement but one that can
easily be backed by hardcore medical science. It
is the reason hospitals use iodine by the gallon
and in reality the only reason hospitals are not
like ground zero sites contaminated in an infectious
sense is because of iodine's broad spectrum anti-infective
power.
Few are the doctors
who have realized that iodine can be taken internally
in large quantities and that it will have the same
effect internally as it does on external surfaces.
When we look at the fact that the entire focus of
vaccines is anti-viral, that bacterial infections
are becoming more threatening and more antibiotic
resistant, that cancer is always accompanied by
and or is a fungal yeast infection, we might begin
to realize how iodine can again become a doctor’s
best friend. Oncologist Dr. Tullio Simoncini
in Rome already uses it for skin and breast cancer
but even he has overlooked its potential for internal
application for the same action against cancer yeasts
and fungi. The secret to successful application
in high enough quantities is provided by Nascent
Iodine.
Nascent Iodine is more potent in
its action because of its
formulation, and because the toxicity has been removed.
When the thyroid becomes
fully saturated from continued ingestion of detoxified
iodine, whatever it doesn’t need is eagerly grabbed
by other tissues of the body independent of the
form meaning iodide is not necessary. After the
atomic iodine has made its rounds, whatever then
remains and is unable to be used is excreted in
the urine. The urine will turn bright yellow from
the excess, similar to what happens with water-soluble
B-vitamins that the body doesn’t need. And, any
excess can help the kidneys if there's an infection
at the site.
Lugol's and Heritage
[and other Iodine Solutions]
Nascent iodine is safe to use, too much taken too
late in the day can be stimulating enough to keep
you awake. As with any other supplement, use discretion.
There is a difference between Nascent Iodine and
Lugol's, Heritage [and other Iodine Solutions].
These Iodine's are produced at 10 amps of resistance
for five minutes. These other iodine's do not produce
nor give the same results. Nascent Iodine is more
difficult to produce. The time required to get iodine
into the nascent state is 15 to 20 minutes at 30
amps with a very limited quantity of iodine. The
result is that heat is generated and that must be
dissipated in order to have the process continue.
Historians who have speculated as to why this process
was never used in the 1930's by Sunkar A. Bisey
to improve his product was that it is just to time
consuming and costly to make the nascent iodine
through this method. For those who notice the results
of nascent iodine it may seem costly to make but
well worth it for the results. (I have had several
people who have used different iodine products of
these types conclusively claim they can feel the
difference immediately when taking a true Nascent
iodine.)
Special Note:
...This is important to note and have in ones medicine
cabinet or dispensary because it is the solution
to many diseases of the skin including skin cancer
and is a vital part of any protocol for breast cancer
as well.
