Re: O/T FLUORIDE, again!!

"Fluoride poisoning can be observed in large groups of the population, in the form of hypothyroidism." yes, ma'am!

Here's a good, clear explanation of why we need large doses of iodine, from link posted by V:

"All these halogens use the same receptors in the body. Therefore if a person’s diet is deficient in Iodine the Iodine receptors in the thyroid and stomach, for example, may fill up with bromine which is common in grains, bleached flour, sodas, nuts and oils as well as several plant foods. Then the person’s thyroid function is deficient and the iodide-pump in the stomach will not work efficiently either. There has been research also done on the role of insufficient Iodine and Breast Cancer and cysts in the ovaries and uterus. A person whose sweat glands are low in iodine will have dry skin. ( It is important to note that the present “low salt” regimes leave us chloride deficient as well) Fluorine from sources such as toothpaste, certain teas, and fluoridated water will also take up receptor space.
Once this receptor space is taken up, my research shows me that it takes a certain level of iodine loading to replace the unwanted halogens with iodine, this seems to be especially so of bromine. While I have seen that around 1 to 2 mgs of iodine will allow protein metabolism to normalize, I have seen that it takes much more to remove unwanted halogens from the system."
