Renew your Thyroid for the New Year!!
New Products at Lori’s Natural Foods Center

TriMedica brings us Thyadine™ a specialty colloidal iodine preparation that utilizes a unique colloidal stabilization process forgoing the formation of iodized salt. Hence, Thyadine™ contains iodine in its purest, most elemental dietary form, which requires no further digestive breakdown, essentially increasing overall absorption and assimilation. The formulation also contains key homeopathic remedies including Fuscus Vesiculosis 3x, Spongia Tosta 12x and Thyroid 30c. These powerful homeopathics plus pure colloidal iodine make Thyadine™ an excellent choice for iodine supplementation.

First, a little history. According to a publication called Health Alert (December 2005, Volume 22, Issue 12) almost every single U.S. Physician used iodine supplements in his or her practice for both hypo- and hyperthyroid, as well as many many other conditions-all with excellent results. In fact, iodine was considered to be a panacea for all human ills! Today a phobia-generated by medical misinformation (according to this publication) against iodine therapy - has caused physicians to avoid this powerful treatment like the plague. The most commonly difficult problems for which this therapy has been called near miraculous are fibrocystic breasts, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypo- and hyperthyroid (with or without goiter, brain fog, constipation, obesity, diabetes and hypertension. Iodine is detected in every organ and tissue in the body. Historically iodine was considered so important that up to 20 years ago, it had been routinely to bread as a supplement. Now the thyroid-toxin bromine has taken its place as a bread supplement.

Guy E. Abraham, MD, is credited as perhaps the world’s most knowledgeable expert on iodine and the thyroid. He says that more misery and death in the U.S. may have resulted from medicine’s unwarranted fear of iodine than from both World Wars combined. In the past 35 years this man has received more biochemistry, diagnostics, clinical chemistry, and hormone and iodine research awards than anyone in his field. He has studied iodine therapy in high doses in over 4,000 people- publishing his findings in a document titled “The Iodine Project.”

We have a revolutionary book on our shelves at Lori’s Natural Foods Center titled Iodine Why You Need It. Why You Can’t Live Without It 4th Edition.The author is Dr. David Brownstein, MD. This book is a national bestseller. He believes that in addition to thyroid therapy the goal for all thyroid patients should be to reach whole body iodine sufficiency. He instructs us to become familiar with the proper tests for iodine testing and the iodine loading test as well as bromide and fluoride testing. There are people allergic to iodine. Dr. Brownstein tells us of a method to help with that allergy.

Thanks to The Weston A. Price Foundation® and the very active local chapter organized by Elizabeth Benner and Laura Villanti we have benefitted from the in-depth presentations given by Laura Villanti here at Lori’s on this very topic. She encouraged us to offer the books by Dr. David Brownstein to our customers and she shared the research information that convinced us that our customers should have access to the very best iodine supplements we can offer. Lugol’s Iodine, Iodoral® and Thyadine are now available to our customers along with many of Dr. Brownstein’s books. He is also the author of Overcoming Thyroid Disorders, 2nd Edition, Salt Your Way To Health, The Guide To A Gluten-Free Diet, Overcoming Arthritis and Drugs That Don’t Work and Natural Therapies That Do.

I will quote Dr. Brownstein (he is the Medical Director of the Center for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, Michigan) “After 17 years of practicing medicine, I can say that it is impossible to achieve your optimal health if you do not have adequate iodine levels. I have yet to see any item that is more important to promoting health or optimizing the function of the immune system than iodine.”
