| Iodine
is called the metabolizer. It is one of the most vital
of the biochemical elements and has one of the highest
vibratory frequency rates of all the elements. It mainly
affects the thyroid, which not only controls many important
functions in the body, but also keeps us in a quickened
state of health. Iodine restores heat, assists calcium
in the repair and building of tissue in the body. Iodine
is stored, in a small percentage, in muscles, most in the
thyroid and the rest in the skin and bones.
The thyroid
gland secretes iodine. The hormones the thyroid produces
regulate and control the metabolism of the body (increases
the assimilation of salts), digestion, heart rate,
body temperature, nervous system, reproductive system
and body weight. Iodine protects the brain by destroying
harmful toxins, and helps neutralize toxins in the
rest of the body. Iodine aids the assimilation of calcium
and silicon. Skin problems such as dry or scaly skin
are indicative of an Iodine deficiency. Regular elevated
intakes of iodine occur occasionally, such reactions
may manifest as skin rashes or acne.
