Iodine: The Universal NutrientAbraham, GE
"The bioavailability of a Lugol tablet (Iodoral®) containing 12.5 mg elemental iodine was evaluated by measuring 24 hr urine levels of iodide together with the minerals, trace elements and toxic metals before and after administration of this preparation. The results obtained following iodine supplementation revealed that in some subjects, the urine levels of mercury, lead and cadmium increased by several fold after just one day of supplementation. For aluminum, this increased excretion was not observed usually until after one month or more on the iodine supplementation. Since this observation was made on a limited number of assays, it needs to be confirmed using a well designed protocol in a large number of patients."
"Preliminary data so far suggest that orthoiodosupplementation results in detoxification of the body from the toxic metals aluminum, cadmium, lead and mercury."
The Safe and Effective Implementation of Orthoiodosupplementation In Medical PracticeAbraham, GE The Original Internist, 11:17-36, 2004
"Orthoiodosupplementation increased urinary excretion of lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, and mercury . Urinary bromide and fluoride levels increased markedly and proportionally to the amount of iodine/iodide ingested. At three tablets a day, urinary fluoride and bromide increased up to 20-fold, although the preluding test levels were not elevated."
The historical background of the iodine project.Abraham GE The Original Internist, 12(2):57-66, 2005
"Following orthoiodosupplementation, increased urinary excretion of the goitrogens fluoride and bromide and the toxic metals mercury, lead, cadmium and aluminum was observed."

The concept of orthoiodosupplementation and its clinical implications.Abraham GE The Original Internist, 11(2):29-38, 2004

The History of Iodine in Medicine Part I: From Discovery to Essentiality.Abraham GE The Original Internist, 13: 29-36, Spring 2006
"The following is a list of the principal conditions in which iodides are recognized to be of definite value: metallic poisonings, as by lead and mercury, asthma, aneurism, arteriosclerosis, angina pectoris, gout, goiter, syphilis, haemophilia, Bright’s disease (nephritis), and bronchitis.” [quote from Encyclopedia Britannica 11th Edition published in 1910-1911]
The History of Iodine in Medicine Part III: Thyroid Fixation and Medical Iodophobia.Abraham GE The Original Internist, 13: 71-78, June 2006
"We have confirmed the observation of our medical predecessors that iodine detoxifies the body from the heavy metals lead and mercury."
The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect: Crying Wolf?Abraham GE The Original Internist, 12(3):112-118,2005
"Supplying daily intake of iodine for whole body sufficiency (100-400 times the RDA) gives protection against goitrogens and radioactive iodine/iodide fallout; improves immune functions, resulting in an adequate defense system against infection; decreases singlet oxygen formation which is the major cause of oxidative damage to DNA and macromolecules, resulting in an anticarcinogenic effect in every organ in the human body; results in a detoxifying effect by increasing urinary excretion of the toxic metals lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminum, as well as the goitrogens fluoride and bromide; normalizes hormone receptor functions resulting in improved response to thyroid hormones both endogenous and exogenous; and results in better control of blood sugar in diabetic patients; stabilizes cardiac rhythm, obviating the need for the toxic sustained release form of iodine, amiodarone; and normalizes blood pressure without medication in hypertensive patients."
