What's the big deal about a simple little trace element called Iodine?
Did you know that iodine helps combat breast cancer, prostate cancer, miscarriage, still birth, and infant mortality? Did you know it can destroy Covid-19 in infected patients, quickly and efficiently and without side effects?
Iodine also have several beneficial properties. It aids in fertility, menstrual cycles, brain development of babies, reduction of ADHD in children, to name just a few. If you have sore breasts around your periods, iodine could be your savior. It's also responsible for sperm & egg production. Furthermore it is very strong at keeping your immune system at peak performance.
Iodine is well known for its relationship with the thyroid. Deficiencies in iodine can cause your thyroid to swell & malfunction. This can lead to all sorts of medical problems.
Yet many countries are severely lacking in this trace element. The UK is in the top 10 countries most deficient, and parts of the USA aren't far behind. New Zealand, parts of China, and dozens of other countries have soils that naturally lack iodine, so all the crops grown & animals raised in these countries are also deficient. If it is lacking in the soils around you, then it will be lacking in the food you eat.
This means that your health, and especially the health of your entire reproductive system & every facet of it, could be at the mercy of iodine levels in your body.
If you, or someone you know, is having trouble conceiving, iodine could be an answer.
Iodine deficiency is simple to rectify; their are tablets you can buy online and take orally. This podcast discusses some of the ways iodine affects the health of people.
