Hi Grz,

Your post: I wrote this in response to:

If you find any glaring issues with my response, I would appreciate your thoughts...

I may end up posting it in the iodine debate forum as I think the "iodine doctors" and others are getting it very wrong in pushing iodine along with their woefully inadequate adjunct supplementation.

I think that my use of the Alkalizing drink, along with iodine supplementation a year ago facilitated a much more rapid saturation and better awareness\realization that the drink alone with adequate kelp was sufficient. Perhaps due to the "calcium iodate" which seems to be readily absorbable.

I really do hope this helps someone see the light... Iodine is important, but...

A brominated hydrocarbon. like a chlorinated hydrocarbon interferes with calcium metabolism... both in the inhibition of calcium uptake AND acting in the removal of the calcium from bone, as the calcium is needed and moves out of bone tissue to neutralize the\any toxic threat in the body...

Once the calcium is removed from bone in order to neutralize the toxic "threat", lead becomes a much easier replacement for calcium in bone tissue, facilitating an increasingly compounding problem.

If you are old enough, perhaps you remember the news about calcium metabolism disruption in birds, among other egg laying species, due to the use of pesticides, most notably DDT.

Other (most all) pesticides\herbicides\fuel additives etc. also have been found to disrupt calcium metabolism. In the event of over dose or poisoning with many of these toxic threats, guess what the most efficient and common remedy is?

Do searches on DDT poisoning and calcium... pesticide poisoning and calcium, herbicide poisoning and calcium... ethylene dibromide and calcium metabolism... get creative.

You may find in many cases where the calcium ion neutralizes, eliminates and reverses the immediate toxic threat itself... in maintaining adequate levels of calcium among a complete complement of other elements including iodine within said environment (environmental variability), the toxic threat would be non-existent in the host.

Calcium carbonate, calcium gluconate, calcium hydroxide are all used in various applications of a life threatening toxic threat including those of a brominated hydrocarbon and chlorinated hydrocarbon... what about fluorinated hydrocarbons, all of which disrupt calcium levels and calcium metabolism among other things?

Calcium iodate, or calcium along with iodine, are used to increase iodine content of eggs WITHOUT affecting egg shell strength.

Food for thought for the thinking person... why do you suppose they use calcium iodate, a calcium supplement, or calcium rich feed along with the iodine, and NOT just iodine alone? Why do they tend to use kelp and calcium carbonate?

Are your foods as calcium rich as you think they are? Is the calcium in your food available to your body? What has happened to the mineral content of most foods over the last hundred years or so? Why? Why do even grass fed ranches supplement their livestock, many times with thorvin kelp? Is kelp a good source of calcium iodate?

Could it be the use of corporate farming practices, including these fluoridated, brominated, chlorinated pesticides, herbicides etc. etc. that mess with the mineral metabolisms in the plants that their livestock eats, including those so called organic pastures due to contamination from water flow directions, rainfall, wind currents etc.?

What about the plants you eat?

Where do you find these "poisons"? Air, water, soil... globally... in everything? What do they effect? Everything? So if the plant's metabolism is compromised, do you think that yours may be also? How?

After this post, I hope you can see that all these "poisons" affect mineral metabolism in ALL living things, including you. I hope you can also see that calcium is a major player in ameliorating toxicity and preventing further compromise by things such as "lead" uptake by bone.

Why isn't iodine used for immediate poisoning threats in poisoning cases? Why do you think iodine helps in the "detox" of these threats? Do you think it may have something to do with calcium metabolism? Do you have enough calcium in your bodies to deal with these threats?

If not... what do you suppose your bones are grasping for besides lead?

Who is using their heads and thinking clearly?

Discussion, NOT DEBATE, appreciated.

Answer: Like I have repeated before, the body requires more "Calcium" by Weight and Volumne, in order to stay or keep Healthy or to Heal !

And as to the Iodine subject, it begs to wonder "WHY" in Nature one "cannot" find Iodine in the Elemental form by it's self?

In Nature the Elemental Iodine may either be bound with Calcium as Calcium Iodate or Sodium or Potassium, as may be found in the Kelp Complex?

"WHY" may this be?

Could it have something to do with that Elemental Iodine is an "Acid" of it's self?

Then we may want to ask what Ethylene dibromide may also be?

Or Lead?

Being that Calcium is an Alkaline Mineral, maybe some may figure it out?

How can someone claim to be into alternative Healing, when they "Fail" to use Natural foods for the Healing process, but instead choose to use Single Elements or Non-Organic compounds and do not bind them to Live Carbons in the ratios , which come in Nature?

Smile Tis your choice.
