Can iodine disrupt or affect the good bacteria in the gut?
This is a common question that's come up a lot
and of course there's different forms of iodine out there
talking about the nascent iodine or the atomic iodine.
We have not found any evidence that iodine harms
any of the good bacteria in the gut.
As a matter of fact, talking in to Dr. Brownstein,
doing a lot of research on iodine -
just the opposite.
Iodine has been used as a very very powerful
antibiotic and antimicrobial for a long long time.
And even back in the mid 1900's
when Lugol's solution was available
and iodine was prescribed before antibiotics
really came into play as a broad-spectrum antibiotic.
So, it doesn't necessarily cause any of the
good bacteria to be damaged.
Number one iodine is very rapidly absorbed in the body
and it does distribute itself to all the tissues
that need it the most.
I personally love using iodine
because I've read studies, after studies
after studies, about the
effectiveness of iodine when it comes to internal
contamination of harmful organisms
considering the fact that we have a lot of mold,
we have a lot of fungus inside of us,
we have a lot of bad bacteria.
You know, when people say does iodine affect
the good bacteria in the bowel?
I always say, well what do you think is going to affect
the good and the bad bacteria
and the bowel the most?
And that's the stuff that you're consuming in your diet.
Iodine helps tremendously, but when you look
at the standard American diet,
and you start looking at genetically modified foods,
you start looking at the high acids,
the diet drinks, the colas,
the meat,
processed microwaved cooked foods,
I mean, thats what's going to destroy your good bacteria.
I mean, it's all about let's look at the root cause
of why we're having negative impacts
and conditions which are all health conditions,
negative health conditions,
start in the bowel.
They start in your gut.
So, instead of saying or instead of thinking,
it's a great question, but instead of thinking will iodine
affect the good bacteria let's take it a step further
and say...
"what foods am I consuming that are affecting
the good bacteria in my gut?"
"What's drinks like alcohol, sugary drinks,
high fructose corn syrup, are going to affect the good
bacteria in my bowel?"
So, you know addressing those things are what
I think are going to be the number one concern.
Iodine in all of the supplements
and all of the detoxification and the cleansing
are going to not affect the good bacteria
they're going to enhance the good bacteria because
they're going to be killing off the negative
harmful organisms that have a positive charge to them.
Iodine actually has a negative charge
just like Oxy-Powder which will have
monoatomic oxygen which has a negative charge to it.
And then you want to also ask the question,
"what about some of the other antimicrobials?,"
you know, grape seed extract,
oregano oil.
I mean these are all some of the things that I use.
Olive leaf extract.
Raw garlic.
I mean, these are also powerful antimicrobials
that people take every day,
and the question you have to ask is,
if it's natural?
Does it come from a plant?
We have natural mechanisms in our system
that protect us from any damage
from things that are natural.
Antibiotics which are man-made are designed
they're not designed to alter the enzymes
of the bad bacteria, or produce negative ions that
could kill the bacteria, or have certain natural
components that are going to kill the bad organisms
but not the good.
Those are man-made.
There's a complete difference between a man-made
antibiotic antimicrobial
and also a
prescription,
or a natural based.
Complete different.
One end of the spectrum.
