In light of the information that has been published of late on Vitamin D and cancer prevention among other references to Vitamin D production in the body...

I did a little digging...

The Reaction of Vitamin D and other subsitances with Iodine Trichloride.

Iodine trichloride is the Heritage Atomidine Formula.

GOITROGENIC ACTION OF CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D 1942

SUMMARY
The purpose of these experiments was to determine whether calcium could be classed as a goitrogenic substance. When other factors are kept constant, all of the evidence indicates that it does not influence the size of the thyroid gland. How ever, along with vitamin D calcium chloride can act as a goitrogenic agent. While the mechanism of this action cannot be absolutely determined from these experiments, the results suggest that chloride causes some loss of Iodine which is followed by an increase in thyroid weight when an excess of calcium is absorbed.

The Top Five Supplements for Thyroid Support

In addition to these minerals, vitamin D is necessary for thyroid hormone production in the pituitary gland, and possibly in the early stages of T-3 (thyronine) binding to its receptor. Vitamin E is part of the necessary supporting apparatus that enables the deiodinase enzyme to convert T-4 (inactive thyroid hormone) into T-3 (the active type).

WHAT DOES Iodine DO?

I have also noted an apparent connection between bringing sufficient iodine to a bromine plugged thyroid, and the vitamin D metabolism of the body. Although I am unaware of the exact mechanism, it seems clear that the calcitonin/parathyroid hormone/Vitamin D/calcium balance in the body changes as people on iodine loading programs often register as vitamin D deficient when they did not previously. It is interesting to note that when people are given calcitonin as part of an osteoporosis program one of the side effects mentioned is a “flushing sensation of the skin” I have had two iodine loading , high bromine patients who during the lowering of their bromine levels registered as iodine deficient and mentioned “a sunburn flushed feeling on the skin of their faces, arms and back” This flushing disappeared with vitamin D3 supplementation at 2000 iu daily for a limited period of time. Just an observation.

Iodine metabolism and thyroid-related functions in organisms lacking thyroid follicles: are thyroid hormones also vitamins?

Thyroid hormones can therefore have vitamin-like effects and, in conjunction with vitamin D, and possibly with other steroids, may be more aptly termed vitamones. Availability of exogenous TH has implications for models of invertebrate and vertebrate TH metabolism and iodine salvaging, and it may explain the prominent and probable ancestral role of peripheral mechanisms in regulating thyroidal status.

Vitamin D receptor binding and biological effects of cholecalciferol analogues in rat thyroid cells.

In conclusion, the biological effects of these cholecalciferol analogues in rat thyroid FRTL-5 cells seem to be mainly determined by their binding affinity for the VDR, although non-genomic effects can not be excluded.

Just scratching the surface apparently...
