Organic Iodine-how to help your body assimilate it!

Increase your Iodine intake naturally:

Okay, so I have posted on some these topics before, but I wanted to put some things together that I think make sense…

Fulvic acid (also know as humic shale) complex

By definition, fulvic acid is "a water-soluble, natural organic substance of low molecular weight which is derived from humus, often found in surface water." – Water Quality Association.

Sources of true, plant-derived minerals are called humate deposits. These deposits, if they contain water-soluble, bioavailable elements, will also contain high amounts of humic acids. Fulvic acid is one of several subclasses of humic acids.
Humic acids are composed of a complex mixture of partially decomposed organic materials. These acids are endowed with the ability to chelate positively charged ions, such as elemental minerals, that are absorbed by plants. This natural chelation allows plants to store both vitamins and minerals and helps to increase their overall bioavailability.

Fulvic acid is present in every true plant-derived, organic mineral. The same cannot be said for elemental minerals, which are derived from rocks, shells, and certain clays. While elemental mineral supplements may claim to have a wide range of minerals, they cannot compare to the safety and availability of plant-derived substances. It should be noted that fulvic acid itself can contain as many as 60 different mineral compounds – this is above and beyond any other source of minerals with which it is joined.

As is discussed in "The Value of Organic, Plant-Derived Minerals" (Issue #305), when positively charged minerals are absorbed by plants, their bioelectrical polarity is changed to a negative charge. Whenever normally toxic minerals, such as iodine, are absorbed and transformed by plants, they become non-toxic. It may be the chelation factor that accounts for the ability of fulvic acid to neutralize the toxicity of heavy metals such as lead. The actual mechanism that fulvic acid uses to chelate minerals has yet to be ascertained. Although we know that this neutralization happens, the mechanics of the process are still one of nature’s secrets – a secret that we benefit from.

Whenever minerals come into contact with fulvic acid, in a water medium, they are naturally dissolved into an ionic form. These minerals literally become part of the fulvic acid itself. Once the minerals meld into the fulvic acid complex, they become bioactive, bioavailable, and organic. Thus, when elemental minerals are transformed into an organic state, through a natural chemical process involving fulvic acid and photosynthesis, they are safe to be used by both humans and animals.

The presence of fulvic acid also acts as an important protective agent whenever toxins are used to reduce the insect population that often besiege non-organically grown crops. According to A. Szalay, fulvic acid has the ability to dramatically detoxify herbicides, pesticides, and other poisons that it interacts with – this includes many radioactive elements. This detoxification process may extend to animals and humans, since we are the end-users of these plants.

As previously stated, the soil from which our food is grown is severely depleted of vitamins and minerals. For plants to remain beneficial to us, it is imperative that they absorb the greatest possible amount of these substances. For this reason, nature provided fulvic acid. The very presence of fulvic acid enables plants to maximize their uptake of vitamins and minerals.

This means that whenever you eat plants that have been in the presence of fulvic acid, your body can assimilate more of nature’s building blocks with which to build and maintain your body. Another benefit of fulvic acid is that it actually potentiates the availability of essential nutrients. Potentiation is a term that describes how long an ingredient can remain active.

Fulvic acid also acts as a source of protection from environmentally induced oxidation.

Anyone interested in maintaining their health should note that free-radical damage (oxidation) has been implicated in over 60 disorders.

For years we’ve known that antioxidants are extremely beneficial in our fight against disease. As such, the scientific community has focused a major portion of their attention towards well-known antioxidant substances. This research has shed light on many extremely powerful free-radical fighting nutrients such as proanthocyanidins (as reported in Issue #208).

If a healthy body is your goal, then you must take action to protect against free-radical attacks. If you are taking colloidal minerals that contain fulvic acid, you’re on the right path. Fulvic acid is a very powerful antioxidant.
According to N. Senesi, Y. Chen, and M. Schnitzer, fulvic acid has the ability to dramatically reduce the oxidative effects of free-radicals. This means that fulvic acid could potentially help your body ward-off disorders such as cancer, premature aging, wrinkling of the skin and Arthritis – all of which are thought to be hastened by oxidation.

Fulvic acid acts upon metallic (elemental) mineral and transforms it; the mineral can then be stored in plant-tissues as an organic substance. So, even though the mineral, which is now organic, retains its former title (e.g., lead, arsenic, etc.) it is chemically altered so that it is no longer the same substance. A good example of this is a chunk of coal and a diamond. Diamonds and coal are very similar to one another since a diamond starts out as a piece of coal. However, through a process of heat, pressure, and time the coal is altered in form and becomes something completely different.

MINERAL ASSIMILATION is affected by pH. Minerals have different pH levels at which they can be assimilated into the body. Minerals on the lower end of the atomic scale can be assimilated in a wider pH range, and minerals higher up on the scale require a narrower and narrower pH range in order to be assimilated by the body. For example, sodium and magnesium have wide pH assimilation ranges. It narrows somewhat for calcium and potassium - narrows more for manganese and iron - more for zinc and copper - more for iodine.

Iodine, which is high up on the atomic scale, requires near perfect pH for its assimilation into the body. Iodine is one of the most important minerals for proper functioning of the THYROID. But the thyroid doesn't get access to Iodine unless the body pH is near perfect. With a society in a largely pH unbalanced state, one would suspect a lot of thyroid problems. Malfunctioning thyroids have been connected to arthritis, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, depression, overweight, fatigue and more. Are you starting to see the basic metabolic picture evolving here?

KELP POWDER:

Seaweed for extra iodine plus the benefit of other trace elements, add fulvic acid complex to it and you have got yourself one powerful health tonic!!!

NONI Fruit powder:

I also think noni fruit powder can improve thyroid function, thus may increase the uptake of iodine, and act as a rejuvenating tonic for the well-being of the immune system…

Want to paint with REAL organic iodine!!!

Look no further than Black-Walnut Hulls:

Due to the presence of tannins and quinone compounds in its chemical composition Black-Walnut extract is extremely effective in expelling all kinds of intestinal worms. It is extensively used as vermifuge and the result is unfailing. Besides, Black-Walnut extract is rich in iodine, trace minerals, linolenic acid, and vitamin C, which appears in the form of ascorbic acid. These compounds together with various alkaloids attribute anti-tumor properties to Black walnut extract and enable it to counteract parasitic and fungal infections.

Moreover, it is successfully used to address various skin issues. Applied externally, Black walnut extract provides cure for eczema, herpes, Psoriasis as well as for skin parasites. It can not only heal skin sores, but it appears effective in dealing with mouth sores and restoring the tooth enamel. Still this is not the end of the list of possible Black walnut extract applications. It is also used to kill ringworm and tapeworms, as well as to eliminate troublesome growths, caused by viruses.

Black walnut extract is reputed to be beneficial for fungal and bacterial infections. Its anthelmintic property is provided by high tannin content as well as such constituents as juglandin, juglone and juglandic acid. Traditionally Black walnut extract is resorted to in case of thyroid under action, diarrhea, asthma, lung disease and sore throat. It is also sure to prove useful when applied to tighten the gums. Antiseptic and healing properties are attributed to Black walnut extract by the organic iodine, which is present in the green husk of the walnut fruit. The proof of the high content of organic iodine is in the brown stains that are visible with the naked eye.

Therefore, Black walnut extract is another precious gift of nature to the mankind.
