The book is easy to read and I find it very good with its content of the many short telling’s from patients. In some of these messages we read about sensing problems during the first week on the Iodine, but how continuing in taking the Iodine because they knew that such could happen, and after this the sensing problems disappearing and excellent and sometimes very fast results was following.
In the book we also are getting historical cases which proves that previously throughout during time the Iodine has been known for its importance, even though the human beings back then didn’t know what special they actual were getting by for example drinking some water or eating algae or fish from the ocean. During the first half of the book I many times was reading that the Iodine had been used for 15,000 years, and I was wandering why Lynne was using precisely this special number of years. But then on the side 118 I found the explanation, because there I read that in 1975, in Chile, a 15,000 year-old site containing a small village of huts was discovered. And there among other were found seaweed species containing Iodine, even though that actually the natives lived a place with enough of normal plant and animal food, while for getting the seaweed they had to walk 90 km to the seacoast. So they knew the importance.
But as one of the cases where we really see how the Iodine is needed, we on the side 132 reads the story about Dr. G. Robert DeLong who in 1989 visited the Chinese province Xinjiang, and where the area since Marco Polo’s time had been regarded as inhabited by “village idiots”. For example there some of the five year-olds looked like toddlers, and some children were extremely mental retardation and besides could not walk or even sit. But we then read, and see a picture, about how they solved the problem by dripping Iodine into the canal, thereby giving Iodine to the peoples, without their knowing, because they by cultural and religious factors feared salt, and drinking “different” water. And we read that as results came for example that infant mortality dropped by half, average 5 year-old’s height increased by 4 inches, and the children IQ increased 16 points.
But actually it’s rather strange to read about how the doctors while being educated, especially in USA, during 3 decades, was miss informed about the Iodine, after a failure of a book, written without any proofs, which we are told about, which was put in print in 1948. This is strange when we furthermore in the book read about how Iodine for example was used under the Civil War, or when Dr. David Marine in 1924, in Ohio, where 56 % were affected by Goiter, started a research which after 30 month proved that the Iodine was the cure. And after this how the soldier shirts collars actually with time turned over into being made smaller, or how South Carolina even on the license plates stated “S. C. THE IODINE STATE”. So how could this book from 1948 turn over to the totally opposite meaning about the Iodine? Or how could anybody trust the printings in the book?
In Europe we learn about a Spanish person, who 400 year ago wrote that there had to be something special in the ocean water, because during his travelling around in Europe he only in the Eastern Europe met many persons suffering from Goiter (Struma). And he concluded that the reason had to be because they not in Eastern Europe were eating fish from the ocean, while their water came from the mountains. Eastern Europe has until not long ago been known for this, and how especially the woman always using cloth around their necks for hiding away the Goiter.
In the book we read about the double problem which both results in our missing of the Iodine. The first one being that we now daily are getting less of the Iodine, among other caused by doctors miss knowledge, and second because we now daily are getting Bromide (and Chloride and Fluoride). And the Bromide, even though being a Halogen like Iodine, is a bad one which the cells try to rub the places from the Iodine, and Bromide is used in extremely many different things and we daily uses ore contacts. So therefore we much more needs into our bodies to get all the Iodine which the body would like, so that the Bromide do not brake the balance in the body, and thereby result in among other Cancer, Alzheimer, or Parkinson’s.
Concerning Iodine in my house we only are having Iodine as Iodized salt, concerning which we among other in the book read that the Iodine disappear up in the air. I have during years tried to explain to my Thai wife about the important Iodine, and told about the difference between Iodized salt and ocean salt. That is where the good ocean salt, and salt from some mountains, including Iodine, can contain up to 32 minerals and trace minerals which don’t disappear in the air, but we only have found the Iodine as Iodized salt.
So as I after reading the book then started speculating more about probably too little Iodine here in Thailand, which I have been mentioning during year, and then thinking about the figure of the Thailand country, looking much like Eastern Europe with the mountains up to us. So maybe thereby missing Iodine and probably resulting in especially the many cases of Breast Cancer here I Chiang Mai, which I now during 4 years have be fighting against doctors about. So I went to Google, and easily I there found cards showing results from UNICEF, telling that on some places in Thailand pregnant woman even are missing from 75 to 100 % Iodine. And beside a result which showed that of 73,000 students measured, it was found that 6.5 % having under 70 in IQ! Rather shocking information’s.
But besides I during long time have wanted to find out what kind of Iodine there might exist in the pharmacies, and thereby in Thailand, as in the smaller local ones they have none. But after doctor’s failures on me, I can’t, as before I came to Thailand, by myself drive cars or motorcycles, so first yesterday I came to the biggest pharmacy in Chiang Mai, actual also the importer. But also there it showed up that not even did they have Iodized salt! The chief, who I many times during years have talked with in parallel cases, and shown some the wanted in actual books of my around 300 doctor and health books, told us to ask in hospitals; and probably the dentist hospitals had Iodine! So we went to the local hospital, and there it showed up that they only on a table had standing a single ½ pound bottle with Iodized salt! And the doctor didn’t know anything about Salt when I among other tried to explain to her how the Iodine disappears up into the air. So we left in vain, after having learned that in Thailand we only can get Iodine if we in supermarkets get it as Iodized salt!
As the doctors, and actually also the pharmacies, which I out here now during 12 years have been talking with, nearly don’t know anything about pills, minerals, or drugs (about existing natural alternatives), I have chocked many of them when I have started talking about for example the K2 vitamin, or Linus Pauling taking 12 gram C vitamin a day, and so on. But beside that the doctors and pharmacies are missing knowledge, and interest in increasing health, the biggest problem actual is that the laws don’t allow private persons to from other countries buy simple thing like vitamins or minerals. Repeating, not even allowed to from another country to buy 100 grams of C vitamins! I discovered this when I 3 years ago by Amazon ordered Progesterone crème, and then got back a message telling that because of this law they could not sent it to me. The Progesterone then had not existed in Thailand during 13 years, as I had been told by the mentioned chief. And later I found out that in Thailand neither exist for example the Niacinamid (one of the B3), the Folic Acid (B9), or K2 and K3, (K1 only exist for use in hospitals), and much more, and as it now has turned out, neither the Iodine (Iodide). But as mentioned, the doctors and the pharmacies don’t know anything about different vitamins and minerals, while I personally, only by private interest, already was studying this before high school 50 years ago. And I have lend, bought, and copied books to doctors, during my work in getting the missing vitamins and mineral to Thailand. Personally I for example need the B9 vitamin as my Homocysteine according to Google, and Kilmer McCullys book, are much too high, but according the hospitals in Chiang Mai the measuring number is fine, as it is less than on their papers max allow, and as they tell, their hospitals are Internationals.
Concerning the Iodine in Thailand I also I Google, from UNICEF, found that by law it was stated that from 2011 there in Thailand should be Iodized salt in the food. But actually I can’t see that this will help much in reality, as people eat home or in small restaurants, and we only find the Iodized salt in supermarkets, and all of the Thais whom I during years have been talking to don’t have any Idea about it. So to me Thailand is rather parallel to how it was in the place in China which we read about in the book.
As the final words I can highly recommend the recently printed 96 side new book by Robert Thompson, MD.,: “What Doctors Fail to Tell You About IODINE & YOUR THYROIDE”. It might be the first easy to read book about Iodine, with its god information, interesting pictures, and 25 personal problem questions, by which to conclude if probably missing Iodine. Even though, as written, around 90 % have less Iodine than correct.

BUY AND USE THIS BRAND OF NASCENT IODINE!!
All the cells in your body contain and make use of iodine! Fluoride from your tap water settles into the pineal gland. Iodine is essential to every organ of the body, but modern iodine deficiencies leave room for iodine’s elemental cousin, fluoride, to take its place. The human body has no use for fluoride so the body isolates it in a calcium husk. Increase your iodine intake and you’ll reduce the effect of fluoride on all of your organs.
