Is Iodine the fountain of youth? (Part One)
Is Iodine the Fountain of Youth? (Part 1) 
96% of Americans are deficient in iodine. This means YOU!
The consumption of iodine has decreased 50% in the last 30 years. Various additives in food, tap water, medicines and consumer products actually push iodine out of the body creating an even greater deficiency.
Iodine deficiency creates dozens and dozens of symptoms. This includes high cholesterol, high blood pressure, depression, recurring infections, weight gain, fatigue, asthma, ADHD and constipation.
The pharmaceutical industry is dependent on you being deficient of iodine.
There are 181 symptoms of possible iodine deficiency. Before you let anyone prescribe a pharmaceutical drug to "fix" any of these you need to make sure a simple nutrient is not really what's missing.
Iodine was put into supplement form in 1829 by a Frenchman named Dr. Lugol. This formula still exists today and is known as Lugol’s solution. It is considered to be the first “Western medicine” ever. It was used to shrink enlarged thyroids (goiters), cure hyperactive and underactive thyroids, and shrink tumors (cancer) of the thyroid, breast and prostate. By 1956, there were 1,700 different iodine preparations. It was used as a panacea since it fixes almost everything!
The drug companies started to attack it in the 1960s. Now you can’t even get it at a pharmacy! Also, medical schools started teaching their students that iodine is harmful but this is simply not true.
Why has this deception continued? It’s because drug companies make money on this falsehood. It’s not just a little bit of money- it’s a cornerstone of their total income!
