Salt, also known as rock salt (halite), is a crystalline mineral that is composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of ionic salts.







Iodized salt is used to help reduce the incidence of iodine deficiency in humans. Iodine deficiency affects about two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of mental retardation.[33] The practice began in 1924.[34] Iodine deficiency commonly leads to thyroid gland problems, specifically endemic goiter, a disease characterized by a swelling of the thyroid gland, usually resulting in a bulbous protrusion on the neck. Iodized table salt has significantly reduced disorders of iodine deficiency in countries where it is used.[35] Iodine is important to prevent the insufficient production of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism), which can cause goiter, cretinism in children, and myxedema in adults.

This is a little thread that I put together in lieu of some recent research that I have been involved in during the discourse of a few threads. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have putting it together. Now for the ride!With obesity on the rise in America, and some doctors going to the extent of declaring it an epidemic, we should really be looking towards our SAD, Standard American Diet.As you can probably tell from this excerpt from the Institute of Medicine, the RDA, Recommended Dietary Intake, is a complete joke. The RDA prescribed for Iodide/Iodine, is a mere 150 micro-grams, added to our table salt to solve the problem of goiters. However, let's take a look at this shall we?Now, it just so happens that chloride, is part of the same halogen family as iodide, bromide, and fluoride. The atomic structure of these four are so close, that the thyroid doesn't know any better between them. However, all but iodide, are unusable by the thyroid, and actually cause damage to the thyroid. Now here is where it gets tricky; Due to the atomic weight similarities between these halogens. Chloride(salt), Bromide(baking/bread), and fluoride(water), all displace iodide from the body due to atomic weights. Go back to the RDA now; can you believe these bastards actually want us to consume 4 milligrams of sodium fluoride, while we only need 150-grams of Iodine?What this means, is that Iodized salt is completely useless for preventing anything but the appearance of a goiter, and will do nothing to address the underlying cause of iodine deficiency. This is due to the fact that chloride, as in Sodium Chloride (pure table salt), displaces Iodine from the body, so that only 10% is really absorbed. This would mean you are only taking in about 15 mcg, compared to even the pitiful 150 mcg, RDA.Iodine, along with the amino acid L-Tyrosine, work together to create the triiodothyronine(t3) and thyroxine(t4) hormones. These are essential to the metabolism, energy conservation, and overall immune system of the body. These thyroid hormones are crucial because it causes the pituitary gland to release TSH, thyroid stimulating hormone, which works synergistically with the rest of the hormones in the body.Iodine deficiency has been implicated in heart disease, auto-immune disorders, hypothyroidism, obesity, and Paracelsus was even the first to implicate the connection between parents with goiters and children suffering from mental retardation. This is due to the fact, that if left untreated, hypothyroidism can cause brain damage. Iodine deficiency can also lead to a drop in Serotonin, a key mood and appetite regulator that works with Leptin, the body's natural fat burning hormone. This is also why people who have an iodine deficiency also run the risk of being prone to depression. Serotonin is the body's natural 'happy' neurotransmitter. This also affects the appetite, so people suffering from this combination loss, will feel the compelled need to keep eating. There is a disruption in the hormone Leptin, that causes it not to reach the brain, and signal it to stop eating, your stomach is full.Iodine deficiency has been linked to breast, ovarian, uterus, and prostate cancers or cysts. Iodine deficiency can cause an intolerance to cold temperatures, low sense of energy aka fatigue, and low body temperature.Bread, salts, and fluoridate water and processed foods, will displace iodine from the body, requiring a greater need of Iodine than currently set by the RDA. High fructose corn syrup can inhibit leptin production, while at the same time causing a deficiency in Iodine. This will cause your brain to think you need more food to be 'full' and will also destroy your metabolism, making it that much harder to burn the fat, and lose weight.Warning: Do not take in high doses during pregnancy without consulting your doctor.Evidence exists that Potassium Iodide may be beneficial for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, emphysema, bronchitis, strep throat, pneumonia, and many other respiratory illnesses by acting as an expectorant.Now with all of this overwhelming evidence about the benefits and deficiency related illnesses and disease, about Iodine, why have most of us never heard about it? Many of us are aware of the countless mountains of evidence about Sodium Fluoride being completely toxic and cumulative in the body. Sodium Fluoride, displaces Iodine from the body, while tricking the Thyroid into absorbing it, so that it can breakdown the thyroid from the inside. The prescription anti-depressant Prozac is made with forms of fluoride. This is also the mechanism in which fluoride can cause brain damage, or loss of IQ, especially in developing young children. This can also be implicated in the staggering number of patients on Prozac and other fluoride-related anti-depressants, that develop hypothyroidism throughout the course of their lives.Adolf Hitler was the first to fluoridate the public water supply to the Jewish prisoners in the concentration camps. His guards noticed that the prisoners had a dramatic decrease in the urge to fight their captors, and attempt to escape...It essentially made them akin to passive sheep who wouldn't fight their fate. Many of us heard about the gas chambers utilized in the attempted genocidal execution of the Jewish prisoners. I propose before you all, that the gas he pumped into the shower stalls, was none other than Sarin nerve gas. Fluoride composes one of the basic ingredients used in Sarin nerve gas. This is how I propose that Adolf Hitler planned to exterminate the Jewish captives. He was going to kill them with the Sarin gas that he derived from the fluoride in their drinking water.Now how does this affect us? It is added to our public water supplies, our processed foods, our soda, our juice, and innumerable amounts of other items that we consume on a daily basis. Anything made with or containing tap water will also contain fluoride. I have reason to suspect that whatever Wizard behind the curtain that is running this show, has added it to our supplies in order to accomplish one of two things.The first of which being, to create passive and docile prisoners, who live in a society, in which they believe they are free, to do what their masters say. The saying goes :This is why a majority of Americans have a very big problem with developing critical thinking skills. Most have a complete inability to think for themselves outside any preconceived dogmatic beliefs that their master's have instilled in them. This is why they consider us to be 'paranoid conspiracy theorists', and are also very impressionable and susceptible to persuasion by authority figures.The second part of the agenda from the Mad Doctor, is to create fat, out of shape slaves, so that when "SHTF" they will be completely unable to defend themselves, or escape. You can not run away from the cops, military, or tanks for that matter, when you are 120 lbs overweight, and have the stamina of a pea. We will be completely incapable of getting away from whatever is coming. They are creating the obesity epidemic to draw more money out of the citizens pockets from all the illnesses they fall to, and into their pharmaceutical companies, while at the same time creating sick, diseased, out of shape, IQ deficient slaves, just competent enough to run the machines and fill the paperwork out without asking questions.They don't want a bunch of mentally competent citizens sitting around the kitchen table figuring out how badly they are getting screwed over by a corrupt system, that threw every single one of them overboard to the sharks, about 80 years ago!The Japanese have a standard diet incorporating as much as 12mg of Iodine into their diets, and they have one of the most physically fit populations in the entire world. Take a trip to Japan sometime, you won't see many obese, out of shape, citizens dragging their 'Crocs' down the street. Now how, can we, as a nation adhere to this level of consumption, with our SAD? It is quite simple.You may purchase Iodoral tablets, which come in doses of 12.5 milligrams, yes milligrams, not micrograms, to 50 milligrams. Or you can order a bottle of Lugol's 8% Potassium Iodide solution, which 1 drop would suffice daily. All-Natural, non-processed, sea salt, also contains good amounts of Iodine.What are the benefits of Potassium Iodide?It can be used to treat and prevent skin, respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological disorders, illnesses, and diseases such as :I think it is safe to say, most, if not all of us could benefit from a few good mg of Iodine.I hope you all enjoyed this, and until next time!
