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
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. Thirty drops per
day is the equivalent of 6 mg. of iodine or 1 drop
of Lugol's iodine. 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.
[iv]
[iv]
“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.
Note: even 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
Detoxified Iodine, which itself is a high quality
form of iodine. Detoxified Iodine is produced at
10 amps of resistance for five minutes. 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.)
To quote the 1930's document by Schieffelin
and Company:
"The lethal dose of Atomidine (1926 to 1935)
in animals is very large, which accounts for the
absence of untoward effects in clinical use. Due
probably to its rapid absorption and its ready combination
with organic compounds in the body, iodism very
rarely occurs even in sensitive persons."
If the body does recognize both these qualities,
it can then use this charged atom in the thyroid
or elsewhere in the body as needed.
The body utilizes more or less nascent iodine depending
on the task being addressed. To boost the body systems
may require very small amounts, a few drops once
a day. The average dose is 5 to 10 drops in one-half
glassful of cold water, repeated every two or three
hours. Frequent small doses are more effective than
larger amounts at less frequent intervals. When
an intensive effect is desired 20 or more drops
may be administered over the critical period and
repeated as required.
Testimonials:
It's 4:30 Thursday, 7-5-07,
and I took four drops of Magnascent in water about
a half hour ago. As I sit here I can actually FEEL
my thyroid gland doing *something* for the third
time in about a week, each time after taking at
least 4 drops in water on an empty stomach. It feels
almost like it is moving in my throat. Well I suppose
if it is making hormones and injecting them into
my body, a certain amount of movement is to be expected.
For years I have been fighting
degenerative arthritis. I have had many successes
already with many substances and methods. One thing
that has eluded me is a regular, everyday good feeling,
and regualr everyday flexibility. I have had many
good days in the past few years but always they
faltered and I was always searching for some way
to keep it up. Now I think I have found it. For
about 4 weeks now, starting with taking Detoxified
Iodine, but then moving on to Magnascent, I have
kept up a level of energy and flexibility that I
mostly have not had since I was
about 38 or so (I'm 53).
I get up in the morning and
within a short time I'm running through the house
ready to get work done, then I'm running through
my business shop and yard. At the end of every day
I am solidly physically tired, but just get up and
go at it all the same way again every day.
The flexibility is just unbelievable.
I find myself jumping in and out of trucks and crawling
under equipment and working on things while squatting
or kneeling with nearly no discomfort. Squatting
and kneeling were very uncomfortable for me only
a few weeks ago. I used to wince at the thought
of having to squat or kneel.
All of this has happened
to me on only about 10-12 drops of Magnascent per
day. I'm drinking about 8-10 a day and putting about
2-4 drops a day on a couple of Heberden's Nodes
on my hands. Since the endocrine system is all stimulated
by iodine and the thyroid, my testosterone is up
too. I don't need a test to tell that.
Bob Ansley
A case of Richard D. Norton Jr. with oral cancer
had four operations found yet another tumor growing
that he could see with a flash light and mirror.
He used the nascent iodine for one week three times
a day holding it in his mouth a few minutes and
then swallowing. In a week he called to ask if the
iodine colors skin. I said it was only temporary
and then goes back to normal color. He said that
he had lost where the cancer was. He couldn't find
it. The next week Dr. Anderson his physician confirmed
it was gone but they found another in a different
location which he is treating it now.
The toxicity of modern life
is impacting iodine levels. It is well known that
the toxic halides, fluoride and bromide, having
structure similar to iodine, can competitively inhibit
iodine absorption and binding in the body. Americans,
who are more exposed to fluoride than other populations
have a desperate need for more iodine and taking
iodine in its nascent form would be the best way
of increasing iodine levels in the safest and most
effective way possible.
In treating over 4,000 patients,
Dr. Brownstein has found only three patients with
“allergy” to non-radioactive inorganic iodine/ iodide.
The nascent form is even less provoking meaning
the chances of side effects besides a normal detoxification
and chelation response would be near zero. The use
of nascent iodine is simple, safe and has proven
itself effective through more than a century of
medical use. One should turn a deaf ear to all those
cynics who would recommend pharmaceutical poisons
in its place. They are not unlike the child molester
using sweet words to draw an innocent into a deadly
web of pain and deceit.
From its position at the
base of the brain, the pituitary gland monitors
the levels of hormones in the blood. If a low level
of thyroid hormones is detected, the pituitary gland
sends out its own hormone called thyroid stimulating
hormone or TSH, which stimulates the thyroid gland
to step up production of thyroid hormones. The thyroid
gland can't do this since it's missing one essential
ingredient - iodine - but the pituitary gland does
not know this. It keeps secreting TSH which after
a time will cause the tissue of the thyroid gland
to change and the entire gland will enlarge.
Iodine levels have fallen
50% over the last 30 years in the United States.
We have also seen at the same time a dramatic drop
off of magnesium cellular levels and the same can
be said for other minerals like zinc and selenium.
During this same time, there have been dramatic
increases in illnesses of the breast (including
breast cancer), prostate, thyroid and the immune
system (i.e., autoimmune disorders). All of these
conditions can be caused (in part or wholly) from
iodine deficiency as well as magnesium, selenium
and zinc deficiencies. Mineral levels should be
evaluated in all suffering from illness and those
trying to achieve their optimal health. In reality
we do not need to expand fortunes in sophisticated
testing because unless one is eating a perfect organic
whole food diet the chances of being ill and not
being mineral deficient is about zero.
Special
Note: There is a
great deal of confusion by these terms: detoxified
iodine, atomic iodine, nascent iodine. Edgar Cayce
actually gave out instructions for two different
types of iodine, one which is fairly easy to make,
or what is called the detoxified form, and the full
atomic form or what we are calling Nascent Iodine,
which in the opinion of the IMVA, is clearly more
potent. Several people who have used one form literally
feel the difference at the moment of injection.
The only company
[v]
[v] we are trusting to provide a true
Nascent Iodine happens to also be the only company
that has applied for a license to supply both the
one percent solution, which has been the type of
iodine discussed in this chapter, and also a seven
percent solution of Nascent Iodine, which now has
to be licensed through the drug enforcement (DEA)
agency of the government. This type is not for oral
use but is perfect for transdermal application,
which will be reviewed in another chapter on Transdermal
Iodine. 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.

Second Special Note:
There has been a lot of commotion in health circles
about a product called Miracle Mineral Supplement
(MMS). It is being advertised as the answer to AIDS,
hepatitis A, B and C, malaria, herpes, TB, most
cancer and many more of mankind's worst diseases.
The claim about how the chlorine (a poison, not
what would be considered a mineral for health)
[vi]
[vi] interacts with
pathogens is the same claim we can make about iodine
(a safe nutritional mineral), which is known to
also kill pathogens of all types on contact. I do
not mean to make a qualified medical opinion on
MMS, which is chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide
is formed from the chemical combination of sodium
chlorite and the acetic acid (vinegar) or citric
acid. Chlorine dioxide
is dangerous to handle and use. A search for material
safety data sheets sustains the risk of using this
substance.
Chlorine dioxide:
May decompose explosively on shock, friction or
concussion, or on heating rapidly. Strong oxidant
- reacts violently with combustible and reducing
materials, and with mercury, ammonia, sulphur and
many organic compounds.
[vii]
[vii]
A strong irritant of the
skin, eyes, and respiratory tract; [HSDB] A strong
oxidizer that promotes combustion; Concentrated
solutions may be corrosive to the skin and eyes;
Mild hemolytic anemia and increased methemoglobin
in males is observed in animal feeding studies;
[CHEMINFO]
[viii]
[viii]
Acute Health Effects:
[ix]
[ix]
Ingestion: Not a normal route of exposure. Harmful
if swallowed. Can cause irritation to mouth,
esophagus, stomach, and mucous membranes.
Eye Contact: Contact causes redness, irritation,
pain, blurred vision, tearing, corneal injury and
burns.
Inhalation: Harmful if inhaled. Coughing, headaches,
labored breathing, nausea, shortness of breath,
pulmonary edema.
Chronic Health Effects:
May have effects on lungs, resulting in chronic
bronchitis and permanent lung damage (with chronic
exposure).
The use of dangerous poisons
is common in allopathic medicine. Even when pharmaceutical
companies jump through hoops costing many millions
of dollars to test such poisons (most pharmaceuticals
are mitochondria poisons) it does not remove the
dangers of the poisons, which create all kinds of
complications and side effects. The natural allopathic
medicine of Survival Medicine only uses such poisons
as a last resort.
It almost never makes sense
medically to ignore the basics, the air we breathe,
the water we drink and the sun. Minerals like magnesium
and iodine are up there with the prime basics of
life and the use of poisons like chlorine dioxide
should not be considered for use unless the basics
do not supply the necessary resolution. In the special
case of the supposedly magical mineral substance
we have something vastly safer, more natural and
proven through over a century of medical use. We
have iodine, which has the same anti pathogenic
profile as that claimed for the chlorine compound.
It is hard to believe that chlorine
would
be selective in what it damages or kills.
A later meta-analysis found
chlorinated water is associated
each year in America with about 4,200 cases of bladder
cancer and 6,500 cases of rectal cancer.
Chlorine is estimated to account for nine percent
of bladder cancer cases and 18 percent of rectal
cancers. Those cancers develop because the bladder
and rectum store waste products for periods of time.
(Keeping the bowels moving regularly lowers such
risk.) Chlorinated water is associated
with higher total risk of all cancers.
[x]
[x]
Lastly, the marketing materials
and promotion of this chlorine compound are not
anchored in medical science or reason. It is very
hard to verify claims or trust those who whip up
medical hysteria because we never know when testimonials
are just projections of the hysteria. The placebo
effect is alive and well and its waters fertilized
when unsubstantiated claims are made. It makes sense
sometime in medicine to take risks but not before
medical basics is employed first. Why promote the
use of something that has inherent dangers when
we have something proven and safe.
