Iodine: The fountain of youth for older women?

West B

Health Alert. July 2006, Volume 23, Issue 7

“We placed am 83-year-old woman on orthoiodosupplementation [iodine therapy] for six months at 50 mgs of elemental iodine daily.  She experienced a tremendous increase in energy, endurance, well being, and memory.  At six months all her skin peeled off and was replaced by new, younger-looking skin.  She was flabbergasted and amazed at her new appearance.”   -- Guy Abraham, MD, Endocrinologist

"Over the past year I have been using iodine therapy for people with a variety of problems.  After the therapy, I continually noticed that older women were becoming more youthful, less depressed, stronger, and more energetic.  I compared notes with Dr. Abraham, a former professor of ob/gyn endocrinology at UCLA.  He is considered the premiere thyroidologist in the country, receiving countless awards in his field.

"Dr. Abraham confirmed my observations by saying, “in our experience older women (especially over 65) noticed a major difference both physically and mentally.  The most consistent responses have been improved memory, absence of ‘brain fog,’ regular bowel movements in those who were constipated, and improved skin texture.”  He then told me the story of the woman in the quote above who got “new skin” from her iodine therapy."

"We hear daily about “new, astounding” products that claim to make you younger, stronger, mentally sharper, and more beautiful.  These unabashedly exaggerated claims are made about all kinds of questionable products.  Although I was not looking for a “fountain of youth” (I was more interested in the heart-arrhythmia and iodine connection), I have stumbled onto the real thing for some people.  Some of my patients have even had a voice change from an ‘old person” to a “new, younger person” voice.  It is all quite exciting and rewarding.  I no longer have any doubt that: 

• Iodine is a critical nutrient and one that many, many people are deficient in.

• Iodine is needed for a smooth heartbeat.

• Iodine is necessary for a healthy thyroid and anyone on thyroid medication needs iodine therapy.

• Iodine in some people can make them stronger, clear-minded, and more youthful."

"Iodine therapy is not as completely free from side effects as are the typical phytonutrients supplements we use.  However, when compared to medical treatments, thyroid drugs, and all the rest, iodine is very, very safe.  Simply proceed with caution, follow the directions in my flyer vigilantly, and carefully monitor your results."

Iodine Facts and Results

"As a result of Iodine Therapy, women enjoy relief from chronic cystic breasts.  Thyroid function is improved.  Skin tone is improved.  Indeed, in some patients, years seem to roll back.  The mind functions better, and the “brain fog” is often lifted.  Ovary syndromes are often permanently resolved.  And the need for life-long thyroid medication is often diminished or eliminated altogether."
