Iodine –A Miracle Mineral For Your Brain, Body & Spirit

When most people think about iodine, they tend to think it’s only good for the thryoid. But it’s not just the thyroid that is hungry for this mineral. Iodine is also concentrated in the salivary glands, the lining of the stomach and small intestine, the breasts and ovaries, the eyes and the part of the brain where cerebro-spinal fluid is produced. Deficiency of iodine in any tissue can cause problems with that area of the body and weakens the immune system. Some symptoms of iodine deficiency are brain fog, nodules in the skin like are common with arthritis, fibrosis and fibroids, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. While it can take many months for iodine to clear out toxins (e.g., heavy metals) or to help tumor-related illnesses, the beneficial effects on the brain and energy levels are much faster. People who take iodine in sufficient amounts report that they have a greater sense of well-being, increased energy, and a lifting of brain fog and sharper mental abilities.
