What You Must Know About Iodine & Your Thyroid: Evidence-Based Ways to Renew Your Thyroid’s Health Through Complementary & Alternative Medicine

By Brett Berner

Did you know? In the United States, most dietary iodine is obtained from milk and iodized salt. Iodine supplements typically interact with certain diuretics and blood pressure medications, including spironolactone, lisinopril, and amiloride. This interaction causes hyperkalemia (a buildup of potassium in the blood). Iodine is a component of contrast agents. Contrast agents are usually administered before a CT scan or an X-ray. It absorbs more of the rays so that your healthcare provider can see clearer pictures of your body's organs. According to the National Institutes of Health, people should get most of their nutrients from beverages and food. Foods contain dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other components that are beneficial to the health. Sometimes, dietary supplements and fortified foods are useful when it is impossible to meet the needs for a certain nutrient or multiple nutrients. Studies estimate that over 90 percent of our population is deficient in iodine. Surprisingly, most of us do not consider it concerning. What we fail to realize is that iodine deficiency can trigger some terrible health conditions, including cancer and heart failure. What makes this situation worse is that while iodine deficiency increases our risk and susceptibility to having other dreaded illnesses, not many medical professionals make any attempt to see if iodine deficiency has contributed to this condition in any way. Factors that should be considered a red flag for diagnosing ailments simply go undetected, undiagnosed, and untreated. This explains why Dr. Brett Berner, Lutz Chiropractor - Upper Cervical Chiropractic -- has written What You Must Know About Iodine and Your Thyroid , an evidence-based and clearly written guide to understanding the link between iodine and the health of your thyroid. What You Must Know About Iodine and Your Thyroid is written in nine chapters. The first chapter discusses why most of us are deficient in iodine. The subsequent chapters discuss why iodine is important to human health, including kids' health, the link between iodine and thyroid disorders, how iodine affects the breast and heart's health, bromine and iodine deficiency, among other enlightening topics. Perhaps this book is just what you need to avoid the many complications that accompany iodine deficiency.
