Out of the endless natural plant/tree minerals, there is no doubt that Iodine has to be tops when considering most people on earth lack having a proper balance, due to over eating.
Sadly I don't think 1,000 people on the entire planet understands natural iodine. Dr. Lugol perverted iodine as he stole the idea from the original doctor and created the chemical lugol's iodine that the medical world and governments latched on…..soon enough, the world hospitals had the motto---if you don't know what is wrong with them, give them iodine.
They pretty much did the same with magnesium salts and believed it to be the medical miracle.
By 1950 lugol's iodine was listed in the top most deadly man made chemical/drugs and known to cause birth defects in male reproductive.
Lugol's iodine was never real iodine, it is 2 deadly chemicals blended together and just the fumes can burn your lungs. More than 6 drops internally can cause a mess and it always carried the skull bones and cross because a small dose would be deadly.
The body will suck up look alike minerals---that is why lead is so deadly and those that lack natural calcium will suck lead up to make their bones.
Same goes with lugol's and all the other milder forms that are still all chemical made…..
How they ever dreamed up that sea weed had iodine is beyond me, especially when they burn the sea weed and consume the ashes and then want to say they get their iodine………iodine wants to float into the air….what is in the ocean would be so diluted it would be like a homeopathic dosage.
Normal experience from just consuming a dropper once a week or once a day of natural iodine minerals would be to experience stronger finger nails and my theory has always been that if your finger nails improve that fast, then surely your bones are as well.
Iodine / Potassium is that purple stuff found in elder berries, black berries, mulberries, etc….the deeper, darker the purple, the better.
Trees seem to be the real source for real iodine and odds are, as trees die and all the minerals drain towards the oceans, that is how a small amount ends up in the ocean water and plants. A TREE that you uproot with a bulldozer or cut into with a saw and you see that tree react by sending a purple fluid to the damaged area…i believe is a good source. I think the tree makes iodine as a defense to damage and as well, many nuts are rich in iodine minerals.
People can research and self-explore every herb and every mineral on the planet for human Longevity---or, just return to nature and eat raw sweet tree fruits………when people do that, medical knew before 1950 that this was the cure for all human diseases…..just returning to NATURE……..and they also recognized at least 200 years ago that civilized humans insist on eating much more than just tree fruits.
