In The Case Of Deficiency, You Solution Lies In Iodine Derivatives

By Stephen Smith


Since the human body contains about 20 to 30 mg of iodine and 75% of that is contained in the thyroid gland, it should not be any surprise that the thyroid needs iodine in order to function properly. When it doesn't have enough it is unable to produce sufficient amounts of thyroid hormone which can result in weight gain, poor concentration, depression, low energy, blood sugar fluctuations and a host of other symptoms. Clearly, having enough iodine derivatives is important.

Its insufficiency can even cause mental retardation as the element is needed to facilitate the growth of your child's core nervous system. In severe conditions, deficiency can bring about miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal and newborn mortality, development issues, dwarfism and cretinism, which is probably the most common condition relating to significant slower bodily and mental progress.

Thyroid nodules can form due to the deficiency. Over 95 percent of thyroid nodules are benign and most people will develop a nodule by the time they are fifty. A nuclear thyroid scan can be done to assess if the nodules are "hot" or "cold." Cold nodules should be more thoroughly evaluated as they are the most common type of nodule that are cancerous.

Approximately one-third of the world's population lives in iodine-deficient areas which can lead to thyroid dysfunction and enlargement of the thyroid known as goiter. The recommended daily intake of the element in North America is 150 micrograms.

But even though Graves' Disease is thought to be curable, many people, including myself, have restored their health back to normal through natural treatment methods. So whether you are iodine deficient are not, I highly recommend consulting with a competent natural endocrine doctor to find out if you are a candidate for a natural treatment protocol.

As someone who has suffered from hypothyroidism for many years and didn't realize the link with the element until recently, my first instinct was to get as much iodine as I could... DON'T... As this could leave you very, very dead! Instead, do as recommended and increase your daily intake or purchase a good multi-vitamin from the pharmacist, which contains the RDA.

Like its deficiency, too much of it can also be very devastating to your body, including causing permanent damage to the brain and intestines. However, it is safe to say that it is highly unlikely that the overdose would be possible through food intake alone but caused by taking too many supplements.

These are very common symptoms and hard to detect the allergy. In case you are unsure about it, the suggestion is to go for a medical test. Don't take a suggestion from general people who predict a lot than confirming it. So if you undergo for some medical test, this is ensured that the exact problem will be detected. If you know what the problem is, only then you can opt for the proper treatment.
