Lola, Excellent explanation. However it is bromide that was used in bread production. (and is not used anymore) Bromide fits inside the iodine receptor and that is the problem as it keeps out the iodine. When you take up iodine it kicks out the Fluorine and Bromide.
There is iodine in table salt but it is apparently not good quality and a lot of PPL including me cannot eat salt. If you are going to take iodine, our compounding Pharmacist told us that you put two drops on your belly before bed (when you are laying on your back), smear it around a bit with the dropper. Let it dry before touching the blankets and then in the AM see if the skin is still yellow, then 2 drops is the correct dose. If the skin is not coloured then increase it by one drop per day until the day when you wake up and see the yellow tinge. That is your correct dosage. Just put the drops in a cup and then add water to it and consume. Personally I would consume it by itself separated at least 20 minutes before or after from anything else. That's a general rule I generally follow. ; ) Alan On 2014-10-21, at 18:18 PM, phoenix23002 tds.net wrote: Asif.. I have no clue as to the type of fluoride in Himalayan salt. The problem folks run into when first starting iodine therapy is that they can experience detox symptoms as the iodine begins replacing fluoride, chlorine and bromide, halides that occupy the iodine receptors on our cells. Now, iodine is as necessary to our bodies as B or C vitamins etc... and was used extensively by doctors before the advent of antibiotics. Iodine is 'taken up', preferentially, by our thyroid first, then the sex organs, then the rest of our body. If too high a dose of iodine is ingested at first or if one has tons of toxic halides, it can overwhelm the liver and kidneys, organs that are working hard to expel the toxins as the idodine displaces them. One takes the companion nutrients of Vit C, magnesium, selenium and Celtic or Real Salt which help to open up the detox pathways. Milk thistle for liver support is also used by some. My only detox symptoms (I have well water and rarely consume commercial bread products) were vague headaches from time to time and extra salt took care of those in short order. So.. one starts off low and slow, alert to any detox symptoms, ready to back down until those symptoms subside, then slowly increasing the dosage again. So, it makes sense to avoid those toxins when first starting iodine. The Japanese routinely consume 12 - 13 mg of iodine daily that they obtain from their diet which is high in seafood and seaweed. They have miniscule amts of cancer of the sex organs (breast, uterine, ovarian, cervical, prostate etc) compared to those of us who consume the traditional Western diet. Something is going on in the US if you think about the explosion of thyroid disorders and cancer that has happened over the last 40 yrs in spite of the advances in medical science. Until the seventies, bread makers used iodine in commercial bread products (something to do with the leavening process, I think) but then the government said no to iodine and bread makers starting using bromide instead and there just isn't enough iodine in iodized salt to make much of a difference.

Is this true for regular folk who are NOT undergoing thyroid issues. also anyone know the type and form of fluoride in hamalayan salt... calcium fluoride??... Cheers.

I have a thyroid condition and started using iodine therapy. Fluoride is a member of the chemical family of halides which competes for the same cell receptor sites as iodine (also a member of this chemical 'family') so had to find another healthy salt. Just a heads up. Lola H. On Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 11:47 PM, Victor Cozzetto <[email protected]> wrote: I too recommend the pink Himalayan salt. If your sea salt does not have some color, then it is probably not as healthy as you think.
