Live Truth Productions is a multimedia publishing house & more from the Garden of Eden sustainable ecovillage!

Education is one of our primary focuses: we want to inspire everyone to think outside the box and open themselves to the infinite possibilities that exist for ALL aspects of life, and we encourage free thinkers to CHOOSE a full spectrum life of thrival that adds value for all beings and our Earth!

To that end, we want to share some of our projects with you!

While our @truthproductions account has only been active for about 6 months on Steemit, we have been hard at work behind the scenes in service to the @gardenofeden's community mission for almost a decade! We have hundreds of thousands of photos, thousands of videos, articles, graphics, and designs, and multiple websites that illuminate sustainable, honorable, responsible options that support a better world for all creatures and our living planet, and we look forward to continuing to share them here on the blockchain.

We have been visual artists for years with combined decades of experience, and Steemit productions are one of our latest masteries! We offer our consulting services to help one and all improve their own success on this platform - stay tuned for an upcoming post with more info.

Now, to get to today's post - do you know how important IODINE is to the human body?

Let us introduce you to the 53rd element on the periodic table.

Iodine is a vital nutrient required by every single cell in the body for optimal function. It regulates cellular nutrient uptake and waste expulsion, yet 95% of Americans are deficient in iodine.

The body needs iodine to optimize every single chemical reaction that takes place, but the body does not make iodine. You have to include it in your diet, but the standard western food supply is no longer a reliable source of proper amounts of iodine. PLUS competing halogens like bromine, chlorine, and fluorine are now prevalent in food, water, and air.

Modern agriculture practices have stripped the soil of iodine, and health-optimizing levels of this nutrient have not been abundant for decades. Uncooked, unprocessed sea vegetables are one of the only reliable food sources of iodine anymore, and we don’t know a lot of Americans who are consuming raw seaweed on a daily basis.

The FDA recommends 150 mcg of iodine per day, but this is only the bare minimum to prevent goiter. Women and expectant mothers need significantly higher amounts. Iodine is vital for proper brain development of the unborn fetus and growing children.

Given the rampant deficiency within the population, supplementation with higher levels of iodine is imperative. The Japanese population regularly consumes 5,000-13,000 mcg on a daily basis because of their ocean-centered diet, and they enjoy superior health to Americans with lower rates of obesity, cancer, diabetes, thyroid disease, and cystic conditions.

Morton began marketing iodized salt to prevent goiter in the 1920s. However, it is not iodine but iodide that is added to salt, along with chlorine in the manufacturing process. While goiter rates did decrease, the population is still not consuming the optimal form or amounts of iodine to maximize health. On top of that, the environment is polluted with halogens, heavy metals, and radiation, which compete with iodine receptors in the body.

Iodine is responsible for:

Healthy thyroid and endocrine
function
Regulating metabolism
Boosting energy levels
Fighting infection
Aids in regulating blood sugar
Reducing body odors
Improving cognitive function
Proper development in children and expectant mothers
Normal immune function
Detoxifying heavy metals, halogens, and radiation
Purifying water
Kills parasites, bacteria, mold, yeast, protozoa, viruses

There are several forms of iodine, and not all of them are beneficial. Elemental iodine and radioactive iodine are a few forms that are actually dangerous for the body!

We offer NASCENT IODINE, the form that is most beneficial to the body, by donation to our cause. It is immediately absorbable, and no energy is wasted in converting it to useable form.

While we’re here on Steemit, we’re dedicated to helping as many people as possible. In upcoming posts, we’ll share our years of research and hundreds of testimonials to the efficacy of NASCENT IODINE and its power to optimize health and eradicate disease! We’ll expand on many of these issues, and address specific diseases and conditions that iodine supplementation benefits.
