Important Note: Essence of Iodine and Rad-D-Tox are the same product with different names. Only the usage is different.
Essence of Iodine contains the energetic imprint of five different types of iodine supplements. Because it was created at the time of the Fukushima tragedy, Fred, our supplier of Liquid Manna also added the energetic signature of the radioactive molecule that could damage the thyroid. Not long after he went back and added the energetic imprints of 16 other types of known radiation so our entire body could be protected. People with high levels of radiation have had a high success rate in completely eliminating radiation from their body. Hence, Essence of Iodine morphed into Rad-D-Tox. Same product -- different names. Since it is the same product as Essence of Iodine, it can also be used to raise iodine levels in your body if you are deficient, but because it is an energetic essence, there is no danger of overdosing on iodine.
For usage instructions to eliminate radiation levels within your body, see below. For usage instructions to keep your iodine levels healthy, see Essence of Iodone on this site.
Iodine
"Many physicians would be surprised to learn that more than a hundred years ago, iodine was called The Universal Medicine, and was used in several clinical conditions. Nobel Laureate Albert Szent Gyorgyi, the physician who discovered Vitamin C in 1928, commented: 'When I was a medical student, iodine in the form of KI was the universal medicine. Nobody knew what it did, but it did something and did something good." Guy E. Abraham, M.D., author of The Universal Nutrient.
The Essence
Almost everything we touch and see around us has a living pulse inside of it. We need to look no further than the planet on which we live to take advantage of its natural vibrational remedies to help us balance the life-force energies within our own bodies. Essences form part of a larger world- view of healing which focuses on understanding, and favourably altering. the subtle energetics of the human system.
In his book, Vibrational Medicine, Richard Gerber, MD, states that the only distinction between matter existing in the physical as opposed to the energetic/etheric plane is a difference in ENERGY FREQUENCY. Further, he states that the two are able to occupy the same space at the same time because their frequencies do not obstruct or hinder each other. He illustrates the principle of energy transference by pointing to the conveyance of energy to atoms possessing a similar vibrational resonance that occurs during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In fact, this is how an MRI works to scan and pinpoint locations in the body that are in contrast or diseased. This principle is the very essence of vibrational medicine as a diagnostic and healing tool.
Hence, with the abundance of technology on the planet these days, it is easy to copy or borrow the frequency of a particular substance and then transfer that "signature frequency" into another medium. This is what has happened with the Essence of Iodine. We have taken three different bottles of iodine (including Edgar Cayce's formula) and placed those frequencies into Regular Liquid Manna. Your body will recognise this liquid as an iodine frequency and respond accordingly. What makes this so outstanding is the stabilised foundational base of the Liquid Manna which will help amplify the power of the iodine frequency.
Who Needs Iodine Supplementation
It is estimated by ‘experts’ that most of the population, over 90%, is deficient in iodine. Essence of Iodine is an excellent way to supplement without concern of toxicity.
Usage
Adults and children over 5 years of age: Take 12 drops daily under the tongue and hold there 20-30 seconds.
Infants: Give 4 drops daily under the tongue.
Availability
Essence of Iodine comes in a 1 ounce dropper bottle. This is an approximate 30-day supply.

Iodine and the Body
Iodine is detected in every organ and tissue in the body. It is found in high levels in the thyroid, breast, stomach, saliva, ovaries, liver, lung, heart, and adrenals. It is essential in pregnancy.
Often, iodine is treated as if it is important only to the thyroid and the effects of iodine on the rest of the body are ignored. However, iodine seems to impact every organ and system of the body.
Iodine and the Thyroid
Much of the research has been done on the thyroid since iodine is essential for the formation of thyroid hormones and the thyroid hormones affect every cell of the body. The primary thyroid hormones are T3 and T4, named for the number of iodine atoms contained. For example, T3 contains three iodine atoms and T4 contains four iodine. Recent research indicates that T2 and T1 are also important.
Many studies have been done on the metabolism of iodine by the thyroid. The NIS (Sodium/Iodide Symporter) allows iodide to be taken into the thyroid cells at levels of concentration much higher than the levels in the blood. Once the iodide is in the cell, it undergoes a complex metabolic process as it gets transformed into the thyroid hormones.
Iodine and the Breast
There is an extensive body of research and theory on iodine and the breast. Research on iodine and the breast focuses on (1) fibrocystic breast disease, (2) breast cancer, (3) iodine metabolism and (4) relationships between thyroid issues and the breast.
Iodine and the Brain (CNS)
Iodine is known to be essential for the development of the brain. Cretinism, a severe form of mental retardation with physical difficulties as well, is caused by severe iodine deficiency in the mother during pregnancy. It is the best known of the iodine deficiency diseases and is still a problem in much of the world. Many suspect that lesser forms of mental retardation are also caused by iodine deficiency.
Iodine and the Heart
Iodine is essential for the heart. The thyroid hormones (which are molecules containing iodine) have major effects on the heart and circulatory system.
Iodine and the Immune System
Iodine is accumulated by the immune system, especially by neutrophils during phagocytosis (engulfing of bacteria and other foreign bodies). A potent antimicrobial system is created with a peroxidase, hydrogen peroxide, and a halide. This system is highly effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other micro-organisms.
Iodine and the Gastrointestinal System
Iodine is concentrated in the stomach and is being studied in relationship to stomach cancer. Iodine is also important in the production of stomach acidity, bowel movements, and Candida albicans.
Iodine and the Skin
Much of the body's iodine is found in the skin. Moreover, iodine can be absorbed through the skin. Exactly what the iodine is doing in the skin and the various factors that affect transdermal absorption are not yet clear.
Iodine and Hormones
In addition to thyroid hormones, iodine also affects other hormones. Iodine affects estrogen metabolism and is reported to transform estrone and estradiol to estriol. Iodine affects the ovarian production of estrogen and also affects estrogen receptors (at least in the breast.)
Iodine and the Ovaries
Ovaries concentrate iodine and have NIS symporters. Ovarian iodide uptake varies with sexual activities and is enhanced by estrogens. Iodine deficiency is related to ovarian cysts and ovarian cancer.
Iodine and the Lungs
There is a long history of the therapeutic use of iodine for lung issues. It has been used in asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema. It is presently being studied in lung cancer.
Iodine and the Eyes
Iodine occurs in large quantities in the ciliary body and lachrymal glands of the eye. It has been related to cataract formation and glaucoma, and is seen as useful in treating eye infections. Iodide has been found to be protective against UVB radiation.
Iodine and the Mouth
The salivary gland concentrate iodine 20 to 100 times serum levels. The function of the iodine in the saliva is not yet clear. Povidone-iodine is used as a disinfectant in dentistry for periodontal issues.
Iodine and Bones
Several studies have now shown a relationship between iodine and bones.
Iodine and the Blood
Iodine has been studied as an antioxidant in human blood and has been found to be as powerful as Vitamin C.
-Dr. George Flechas
A Teaspoon for Life
Remember the red stuff your mom put on cuts and scrapes? It contained iodine, a mineral that kills germs. But iodine is more than just an antiseptic you put on your skin. It's a trace element essential for life. A teaspoon is all you need in a lifetime, but most people in the U.S. are deficient.
The tragedy is that many doctors don't recognize iodine's role in disease. You may suffer from chronic fatigue and hear "there's no cure." Your cholesterol or blood pressure is too high, and nothing short of drugs brings it down. Or the doctor tells you the cysts in your breasts or ovaries lead to cancer.
You may have one of these things as a result of a simple iodine deficiency:
Almost 2 billion people in the world don't get enough, and over 50 million people have brain damage caused by iodine deficiency. It's the most preventable kind of brain damage in infants and children, yet 36.5% of school age children are deficient.1,2
Brain damage also affects adults. Even a small deficiency can lower your I.Q. by 15 points.3 It may be the deciding factor whether you can get a job and keep it.
Our ancestors didn't have this problem. In ancient times, the water and soil were rich with minerals. Plants absorbed the iodine. Animals ate the plants. Man hunted, fished, and gathered the animals and plants.
But today, our modern day diet consists of foods grown by commercial farming corporations on depleted soil. Our water is polluted. We suffer the consequences.
We have to find a way to mimic the environment of our ancestors and find good sources of iodine.
Iodine helps prevent oxidative stress that leads to chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, or arthritis.4 It's also critical for thyroid function. When your thyroid doesn't work well, you can develop heart disease. Your cholesterol goes up, and you can have a heart attack.
You also need it for metabolism to convert your food to energy. If you don't have enough iodine to keep your thyroid healthy, you get sluggish and store fat on your body. You may also develop symptoms like fatigue, depression, and weight gain.
That's not all. When you're short on iodine, a lot of other things can go wrong. 5,6
Breasts: A lot of iodine is concentrated in breast tissue. When you don't have enough, you can develop fibrocystic breast disease. Up to 93% of American women have it. This is when your breasts become very painful and have nodules and cysts in them. The longer you have this disease, the higher potential for breast cancer.
Skin: 20% of iodine is stored in the skin. Most in the sweat glands. If you don't have enough iodine, you get dry skin.
Digestion: Iodine is concentrated in the stomach. When you don't have enough, you develop a condition that feels like you have too much stomach acid. But it's just the opposite . . . you don't have enough. If it goes on long enough, it can develop into stomach cancer.
Eyes: Tear glands in your eyes contain large amounts of iodine. Lack of iodine can cause dry eyes.
Mouth: Salivary glands in your mouth contain large amounts of iodine. Lack of iodine can cause dry mouth.
Ovaries: Iodine is concentrated in the ovaries. Women who lack iodine develop cysts. The greater deficiency, the more cysts. It can also lead to a disease called polycystic ovarian disease.
You can avoid these problems if you pay attention to your intake of
iodine. The current suggested daily dose of 0.15 mg per day of iodine is too low. It doesn't take into account all the organs of the body that need it to stay healthy. I suggest 12.5 mg up to 50 mg of iodine per day from natural sources to support better health. Here is a list of foods that contain iodine:
If you find you need more support, check to see if your daily supplement contains iodine. If it doesn't, take a trip to your local vitamin shop and ask for an iodine supplement or kelp.
It's always best to talk to your doctor first. If you have symptoms of iodine deficiency, your doctor can take a simple test to determine your level. -Dr. Al Sears

Iodine is so Important
While teaching a recent Yuen Energetics presentation, Dr. Hector Garcia emphasized how important iodine is for the entire body, not just the thyroid.
On another note, Dr. David Williams, author of the Alternatives newsletter, states that the World Health Organization cites iodine deficiency as the leading cause of brain failure (Alzheimer's.) "Low iodine levels trigger fatigue, depression and brain damage. Even in the early stages, iodine-deficient people forfeit 15 IQ points and 43% are at serious risk.
Americans do have iodized salt, but our diets are high in iodine blockers, including soybeans, soybean oil and chlorinated, fluoridated water."
Dr. Al Sears:
Mainstream medicine regularly ignores iodine. You'll probably only hear about it if you have thyroid problems. But iodine is an essential mineral. It's responsible for the production of every hormone in your body, not just the thyroid.
Iodine has anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, and anti-cancer properties. Without it, you are at risk for cancer of the breast, prostate, ovaries, thyroid, and uterus. And chances are you're not getting enough.
I was reading Dr. David Brownstein's Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It. He found that 96% of the patients he treats are deficient.
No, his patients aren't in the third world. They're right here in the U.S. In addition to raising your risk of certain cancers, iodine deficiency can lead to mental retardation, ADHD, infertility, thyroid problems, and goiters.
The good news is it's easy to get more iodine. The best thing you can do is start by adding foods rich in this key mineral to your diet.
One note of caution, though. Don't go to the store and pick up that container with the little girl in the yellow dress holding the purple umbrella. Iodized table salt may have a high amount of iodine, but it's chock full of chemicals.
Your best natural sources of iodine are:
Seaweed
Salmon
Clams
Sardines
Shrimp
Pineapple
Haddock
Eggs
Oysters
Dairy Products
These foods can easily be added to your menu. You won't have any trouble finding most. I get kelp from my local Asian food store. It has 5,350 mcg of iodine in a serving. You can also take iodized oil capsules and supplements. I recommend getting 150 mcg of iodine daily. Or, you can look for a multivitamin that has iodine. -Dr.'s House Call
Iodine Tidbits
Diabetes . . . Iodine's ability to revive hormonal sensitivity back to normal significantly improves Insulin sensitivity and other hormones.
Heart Disease . . . via improved thyroid function. It can normalize cholesterol, blood pressure and certain types of arrhythmia.
Teeth and Bones . . . It is Iodine and not Fluoride that the teeth and bones need. It will do everything purported for toxic fluoride plus raise IQ.
Heavy Metals . . . Iodine chelates heavy metals such as Mercury, Lead, Cadmium and Aluminum and halogens such as Fluoride and Bromide.
Taken from a Hungarian article by Kenezy Gyula Korhaz, Debrecen , III. Belgyogyaszat:
Dental Caries in Children . . . Since the beginning of administration of iodine to prevent goiter, children have less caries. Iodine seems to increase resistance to caries, retarding the process and reducing its incidence."

"In 1962, I spent the summer after my first year of medical school at the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts with one of my professors doing research on the electrophysiology of tunicate hearts. Dr. Albert Szent Gyorgi, the Nobel laureate who discovered vitamin C, was there. I was fortunate to be able to meet him and attend his lectures. Dr. Szent Gyorgi, it turns out, loved iodine and took it himself in gram doses. He enjoyed excellent health and lived to the age of 93. In his book Bioenergetics, he writes, "When I was a medical student, iodine in the form of KI [potassium iodide] was the universal medicine. Nobody knew what it did, but it did something and did something good. We students used to sum up the situation in this little rhyme: If ye don't know where, what, and why Prescribe ye then K and I. " -Donald Miller
"For remember, while ye give many combinations there are only four elements in your body: water, salt, soda, and iodine." -Edgar Cayce
How to Tell If You Need More Iodine: One of the first indicators is belly fat in men. When the abdominal muscles disappear under a layer of fat, a pot belly, insulin resistance or syndrome X is present. In women the fat also occurs on the hips. The medical literature is finally talking about this fat as a major indicator or symptom of underlying risk to cardio-vascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and all the inflammatory diseases that plague industrialized societies. If you have excess "belly fat" you are at risk to all of the above as well as sub-clinical hypothyroidism resulting from iodine deficiency.
Frequently-experienced additional warning signs of low thyroid function due to iodine deficiency are a tendency to be cold when everyone else isn't, low energy levels, dull hair, weak fingernails, depression, and overweight that resists diet and exercise. -David Beaulieu, DC
Iodine and the Body . . . Iodine is detected in every organ and tissue in the body. It is found in high levels in the thyroid, breast, stomach, saliva, ovaries, liver, lung, heart, and adrenals. It is essential in pregnancy.
Cayce’s Iodine for Health
The commonly accepted medical opinion is that iodine's only role in the body is to help make thyroid hormones. Although this is an extremely important function, the role of iodine in the body goes far beyond its function of making thyroid hormones. Other possible functions include: helping to regulate moods, preventing cancer (especially in breasts, ovaries, uterus, prostate and thyroid gland), preventing and treating fibrocystic breasts in women, helping to regulate blood pressure, helping to regulate blood sugar and prevent and treat diabetes, and helping to prevent abnormal cardiac rhythms. Japanese women, who consume the highest amounts of dietary iodine per woman in the world, have the lowest rate of stillbirth and perinatal and infant mortality in the world. Among the folklore of Japanese mothers is the interesting concept that seaweed will prevent cancer.
Further, iodine has been demonstrated to be antibacterial, antiviral, anti parasitic, and antifungal and immune-enhancing.
Cayce, in his immutable grasp of the situation recognized that iodine deficiency was far beyond the scope of addressing goiter, even though it was quite prevalent at the time. In sufficient amounts in a detoxified form, the iodine vibration could not only adjust a dysfunctional thyroid, it could assist with a host of glandular imbalances as well as a wide assortment of internal, as well as external bacteria, fungi, and virus'. The list is so extensive that the readings refer to the product name more than 4,400 times during the course of his overall discourse.
These numbers alone reveal it as a core constituent to his discussion of health and illness. Once again it is absolutely essential that a naturally-occurring iodine be utilized in making the product. This is a powerful element, and when it's misused or abused it has a powerfully negative effect on the body. The other thing to keep in mind is that Mr. Cayce suggested it would still be necessary to electrically charge the iodine, and thereby render it into a state the body could recognize, prior to oral consumption.
Functions of Iodine in the Body

Anti allergic process. Makes external proteins non- allergic.
Anti-autoimmune mechanism by making intracellular proteins spilled into blood non- allergic.
Protection of double bonds in lipids for delivery to cardiovascular system and synaptic membranes in brain and retina.
Fetal source of apoptotic mechanisms during development in fetus and breast-fed children.
Protection from apoptotic diseases such as leukemia.
Possible initial source of thyroxine in early fetal development.
Antiseptic activity in stomach against helicobacter pylori.
How Iodine Accelerates Weight Loss by Supporting the Thyroid
If adjusting your diet and exercising more hasn't helped you reach a healthy body weight, you may have hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid gland. In addition to weight gain, other symptoms of hypothyroidism include a bad complexion, fatigue, forgetfulness, loss of sex drive, impotence, irritability and unhealthy hair, nails and teeth. Fortunately, you can help normalize an underactive thyroid gland by increasing your intake of the mineral iodine.
"The healthy functioning of the thyroid is essential to maintaining metabolism and preventing the accumulation of body fat," writes Burton Goldberg in Alternative Medicine. An underactive thyroid gland slows your metabolism; you thus burn dramatically fewer calories and feel sluggish. In addition, in Asian Health Secrets, Letha Hadady explains that an underactive thyroid gland promotes excess weight and cellulite by causing water retention.
After-effects observed following thyroid removal surgery helped prove the connection between the thyroid gland and metabolism to the medical community. For example, according to Gayle Reichler's book Active Wellness, thyroid removal caused one patient to gain weight daily and feel that her "system had slowed down considerably." Unless your thyroid has been completely removed or damaged, your symptoms will not be quite so severe; however, even moderate hypothyroidism can make you gain weight and body fat.
Iodine makes up less than a hundred thousandth of a percent of your body weight, but your thyroid cannot function without this trace mineral. If you have too little iodine in your diet, hypothyroidism and weight gain will occur. "I believe that an insufficient intake of organic iodine in today's modern diet has led to a serious and chronic form of low-grade hypothyroidism," writes Donald R. Yance, Jr. in Herbal Medicine, Healing and Cancer. Increasing your iodine level will allow your thyroid function and metabolic rate to return to normal.
You can add iodine to your diet by taking supplements, but beware: Excessive thyroid function resulting from excess iodine is just as detrimental to the human body as hypothyroidism. You should have normal, moderate amounts of iodine in your body. In Food and Healing, Anne Marie Colbin provides caution: "Considering that we are already ingesting large qualities of this mineral because of its presence in fertilizers and table salt, the situation (your iodine level) definitely bears watching." (Editor’s Note: With Essence of Iodine there is simply no danger whatsoever of taking too much iodine.)
Because of this danger, Earl Mindell recommends kelp, which naturally contains iodine, as an alternative to iodine supplements in pill form. "Kelp has a normalizing effect on the thyroid gland. In other words, thin people with thyroid trouble can gain weight by using kelp, and obese people can lose weight with it," Mindell writes in his Vitamin Bible for the Twenty-First Century. Whichever form of iodine supplementation you choose, however, you must also be sure to get enough vitamin A in your diet. According to Goldberg, without sufficient vitamin A, your thyroid gland cannot produce thyroxin, a hormone that helps the thyroid absorb iodine.
If you believe that you have a thyroid problem, then by all means, go to a doctor or other medical professional. On the other hand, if you just haven't been exercising enough or following a healthy diet, don't put blind faith into iodine supplements as an easy and effortless way to lose weight. "Iodine itself will not help with weight loss if there is normal thyroid function," writes Dr. Elson M. Haas in Staying Healthy with Nutrition. Unless you do indeed have abnormal thyroid function, there is no substitute for exercise and a healthy diet.
Experts Speak on Iodine and the Thyroid
Goiter is usually associated with hypothyroidism, which is decreased thyroid function that leads to slower metabolism, fatigue, weight gain, sluggishness, dry hair, thick skin, poor mental functioning, decreased resistance to infection, a feeling of coldness, and a decrease in sexual energy. More advanced hypothyroidism may worsen these symptoms as well as create a hyperactive, manic state and hypertension, which is paradoxical because this may occur with an overactive thyroid as well. Iodine by itself usually will not cure goiter and hypothyroidism but often will slow their progression. Staying Healthy with Nutrition by Elson M Haas MD, page 196
I believe that an insufficient intake of organic iodine in today's modern diet has led to a serious and chronic form of low-grade hypothyroidism, a major contributing factor to breast and ovarian cancers. Even a mild low thyroid function can cause an imbalance of other hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, and androgen, hormones that play a pivotal role in reproductive health as well as in the prevention of cancerous and non cancerous tumors, such as fibroids and fibrocystic breast disease. Low thyroid function frequently coincides with low adrenal function-what I call a "hypo-overall endocrine system"; it's just not working up to speed. This condition manifests itself in many ways, including fatigue, low energy during the day, insomnia, low body temperature, very low blood pressure, low-grade depression, dry skin, dry hair, pear-shaped figure, weight gain, infertility, PMS, sensitivity to cold (particularly the extremities), calcification buildup, hardening of the arteries, cystic breasts and/or ovaries, and cancers of the breast and ovaries. Herbal Medicine Healing Cancer by Donald R Yance Jr, page 161, 85
How can you tell if you are deficient in iodine? A sluggish feeling due to the fact that your thyroid is not producing enough thyroxine for your metabolism to work at normal speed is one clue. Other symptoms are a bad complexion and unhealthy looking hair, teeth, and nails. If your thyroid function degenerates into official hypothyroidism, in which perhaps only one- quarter of the thyroxine your body needs is present, you may suffer from chronic fatigue, forgetfulness, lack of interest in sex, impotence, overweight, and irritability. Should you notice any of these symptoms, consult your physician. He or she may suggest a prescribed iodine supplement, which in the early stages of thyroid malfunction could solve your problem. Complete Guide Health Nutrition by Gary Null, page 410
An underactive thyroid can encourage water retention, leading to excess weight and cellulite. Low thyroid function has recently been linked with lethargy and depression. If you tend to have slow digestion and elimination, excess catarrh, or sinus trouble, and generally feel down in the dumps during humid weather, seaweeds high in potassium, calcium, and iodine are for you. Asian Health Secrets by Letha Hadady DAc, page 188
Two minerals that are vital are potassium and iodine, they are essential to proper thyroid maintenance. Since the thyroid is responsible for metabolism rates, any interference in its operation can actually inhibit our ability to remain thin. When a thyroid malfunction occurs, the rate at which calories are burned is dramatically decreased. Complete Encyclopedia Of Natural Healing by Gary Null PhD, page 166
Since the thyroid gland controls metabolism, and iodine influences the thyroid, an undersupply of this mineral can result in slow mental reaction, weight gain, and lack of energy. Vitamin Bible for the 21st Century by Earl Mindell, page 90
Changes in the Regulation of Iodine Crystals and Chemical Mixtures Containing Over 2.2 Percent Iodine
The Federal Register, July 2, 2007
Agencies: Drug Enforcement Agency and Justice Department
Summary: This rulemaking changes the regulation of the listed chemical iodine under the chemical regulatory provisions of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) believes that this action is necessary to remove deficiencies in the existing regulatory controls, which have been exploited by drug traffickers who divert iodine (in the form of iodine crystals and iodine tincture) for the illicit production of methamphetamine in clandestine drug laboratories. This rulemaking moves iodine from List II to List I; reduces the iodine threshold from 0.4 kilograms to zero kilograms; adds import and export regulatory controls; and controls chemical mixtures containing greater than 2.2 percent iodine.
This rulemaking establishes regulatory controls that will apply to iodine crystals and iodine chemical mixtures that contain greater than 2.2 percent iodine. This regulation therefore controls iodine crystals and strong iodine tinctures/solutions (e.g., 7 percent iodine) that do not have common household uses and instead have limited application in livestock, horses, and for disinfection of equipment. Household products such as 2 percent iodine tincture/solution and household disinfectants containing iodine complexes will not be adversely impacted by this regulation. Additionally, the final rule exempts transactions of up to one-fluid-ounce (30 ml) of Lugol's Solution.
Persons handling regulated iodine materials are required to register with DEA, are subject to the import/export notification requirements of the CSA, and are required to maintain records of all regulated transactions involving iodine regardless of size. This rulemaking becomes effective on August 1, 2007.
Newsletter Notes
• We have received saliva samples from subjects in Hawaii and also Japan this week. The radiation loads we are seeing are substantially higher than we have seen from British Columbia, San Francisco and Philadelphia. Now we will see how long it will take Essence of Iodine to reduce that load to zero. When we have full results, I will share them with you.
• We are continuing to get very exciting test results from the Essence of Iodine in connection with remediating radiation buildup. During this past week I have been working with very influential scientists in Japan who have taken an interest in our work. This is exciting to say the very least. We want so much to be able to provide relief to radiation victims in Japan. We are now searching for affordable equipment that we can use to do physical testing for radiation after our work shows that all radiation has been removed through our Essence of Iodine protocol. When we can show this sort of validation, we will be poised to make a huge difference in Japan and around the world. This testing will be extremely important to people who are not familiar with homeopathy, radionics or energetic modalities.
• Even though it is getting late, I want to raise a very serious concern about radiation. Earlier this week, Fred sent me this link to a set of YouTube videos of an independent researcher's finding of radiation in southwestern Canada as he drives across Canada from west to east. The radiation levels he is discovering are simply SHOCKING! We are NOT being told the truth about the radiation to which we are being exposed. View here.
With that opening revelation about the radiation that is becoming a dangerous reality in our lives, I want to remind you again that our Essence of Iodine offers you protection from every form of radiation that we know of. You may recall that we originally offered Essence of Iodine as a protection from radioactive iodine. Then Fred realized that he could expand the scope of the Essence of Iodine to cover many other radiation issues and forms, and for at least four months every bottle of Essence of Iodine that we sent out has all of those additional protections but the price remains the same.
A while back I called for volunteers to send saliva samples to Fred so that we could begin testing of radiation loads of the subject and then do follow-up testing to see how their radiation loads would be impacted by taking the Essence of Iodine. We are finding our results to be quite stunning. Our first six subjects have been taking the Essence of Iodine for three weeks now, and as of yesterday, ALL SIX subjects are showing "zero" radiation.
We have been maintaining charts on each of the subjects and I have chosen the charts of two of the first six subjects to show you our results. The other four subjects had very similar progress and the very same final result. This is noteworthy -- pay attention! We are being lied to and the truth of the dangers is being hidden from us. Take your welfare and that of your family and loved ones into your own hands. I will present the charts first and then explain a little about the chart and the protocol we are following.
Note that the charts track 17 different variations of radiation, the first being general radiation which would cover x-rays, cell phones, microwaves and such that we have accumulated during our day-to-day lives. Then the charts track three types of cesium, three types of cobalt, two plutonium and two strontium 90, etc. Fred is able to test for the presence of each of these types of radiation, and the Essence of Iodine offers protection from each of these types.
The work that Fred is doing, both in testing and in remediating radiation, is energetic in nature as are his Liquid Manna Regular and Liquid Manna Royal. If you are at all familiar with the concepts of homeopathy, radionics and quantum physics you can get an idea of how this works. Please understand that I am not revealing anything in particular about the technology Fred uses because I simply do not know how he does his magical works. Rather,
I am conveying the fields that I have studied and draw upon to get my head around what he is able to accomplish and find a way to convey the concepts to you.
Saliva samples are being sent to us from high-risk areas around the world to enable us to expand our testing. With a saliva sample, Fred is able to "tune" in to the frequency or "signature" of a subject and then read their radiation loads. As the subjects take the Essence of Iodine Fred can again "tune" in and monitor their progress. Similarly, he can detect that they are being exposed to new radiations.
Our results are so consistent that we are now confident that anyone can most likely zero out their accumulated radiation by taking 12 drops per day of Essence of Iodine for three weeks. We believe that We believe that after three weeks, people can protect against new radiation exposure by simply taking 12 drops per day for several days per month. We will do follow-up testing to verify this conclusion. Considering the number of drops in a bottle of the Essence, a single bottle is about enough for a family of three to bring their radiation levels down to zero. This is a huge value, particularly since there is virtually NOTHING else out there that can accomplish this at any price. A bottle of Essence of Iodine is a mere $32. Hurry, hurry while supplies last (grins.) My son, Dave, is tracking down some equipment we can use to validate our results with a very physical test for radiation.
• I have been working very closely with Fred to conduct testing regarding the effectiveness of our Essence of Iodine in remediating radiation exposure. The process involves sending a saliva sample to Fred so that he is able to test for the presence of 17 different types of radiation. So far, we have arranged for saliva samples from subjects in California, Philadelphia and Florida.
We would like very much to have saliva samples from one or two subjects in New Orleans, Hawaii and Japan. After we get a baseline reading of your radiation levels, we will send you a bottle of Essence of Iodine for you to start taking. Then Fred will periodically check your radiation levels to monitor your progress. Because the testing process is so laborious for Fred, we will have to limit the number of subjects we can work with. If you decide to volunteer, tell me a little bit about why you think you should be included in our testing. If you are selected, we will provide full instructions to you . . . it would be most helpful if you provide a phone number so that I can call you.
I must tell you that the early results of our testing are most exciting. We are seeing quite a lot of radiation in our subjects' baseline tests and then after starting to take the Essence of Iodine, we are seeing significant drops in radiation loads. It is still too early to be yelling from the rooftop, but we like the trend (grins.) We fully expect (being hopeless optimists) that in a short time working with the Essence of Iodine, radiation loading will drop to ZERO and then a maintenance application of Essence of Iodine will maintain the ZERO levels in spite of new or even constant exposure. In my heart of hearts, I truly believe that we have discovered a solution to massive radiation exposure around the world, and our testing will prove up that theory. This is big and I will report results as we go along -- pay attention -- we all have a lot at stake here. I know of nothing else that can offer this level of radiation remediation.
• Fred can use a technology VERY similar to that used to create Liquid Manna to create a product that will have the frequency, vibration and energy of the Edgar Cayce iodine formulation. To that he can add the frequency of two other forms of iodine. Additionally, he can add the frequency of Regular Liquid Manna.
We believe the resulting product will vastly exceed the power and efficacy of anything available in the marketplace. We openly acknowledge that this product grows out of a new paradigm . . . just like Liquid Manna did. It won't look like any other form of iodine and won't taste like any other form of iodine, but it will do the job in a beautiful and elegant way. Fred will be building on his proven track record of success with Liquid Manna.
There are three important aspects of this iodine product.
1. There will never be a supply issue. Fred and Global Light can produce and package all of the product that the world might need.
2. We will never allow price gouging. We are setting a fair and reasonable price and will not knowingly allow others to set unreasonable prices for our product.
3. It will be available to anyone and everyone anywhere in the world with a need.
• Iodine deficiency can manifest in many important ways . . . breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, diminished intelligence quotient and low energy, just to cite a few. Again, running the risk of being alarmist, the drug enforcement agencies are making it more and more difficult to obtain the iodine crystals that are the foundation for the Cayce’s iodine formula. It seems that illegal drug dealers use iodine crystals in the process of making crystal meth, and the agencies are becoming less and less inclined to accept that the crystals are being used in a legitimate business operation. So far we have not had problems, but if and when there is an adverse development, we will have virtually no notice. Suddenly our inventory on hand will be all we will ever be able to obtain.
• In the last few days, I have also learned of a new product that delivers iodine to the thyroid and is almost 100% bio-available. Last night, I was up until midnight reading about iodine; how important it is to our health and wellbeing and how deficient we all are in iodine. Every 17 minutes, every drop of blood in our body flushes through our thyroid, and if our thyroid has an adequate supply of iodine, blood-borne bacteria and viruses are killed off as the blood passes through the thyroid.
When we have an adequate supply of iodine in our system, we are more easily able to control our weight, we are more energetic, we think clearer and we more easily handle stress.
• As we traveled from Virginia to New Mexico yesterday, I made use of the time to read a very technical paper by Drs. Abraham, Flechas & Hakala, titled Orthoidosupplementation: Iodine Sufficiency Of The Whole Human Body. Although the paper in its entirety would bore you to sobs, the two introductory paragraphs really crystallize the importance of iodine, and I have decided to share that Introduction with you and spare you the rest of the 25 pages and 4 pages of footnotes.
Introduction: The essential trace element Iodine is the only one required for and in the synthesis of hormones. These Iodine-containing hormones are involved in embryogenesis, differentiation, cognitive development, growth, metabolism and maintenance of body temperature. Iodine is highly concentrated in one organ, the thyroid gland, which becomes visibly enlarged when there is a deficiency of that element. It is the most deficient trace element in the world with an acknowledged third of mankind functioning below optimal level due to its deficiency. Low intake of Iodine is the world’s leading cause of intellectual deficiency. Yet, as unbelievable as it may sound, this essential element has suffered from total neglect regarding the amount of it required by the human body for optimal health. In 1930, Thompson et al wrote: “The normal daily requirement of the body for Iodine has never been determined.” This statement is still true today, more than 70 years later.
At the Children’s Summit held in 1990, the United Nations and heads of state assembled for that occasion, pledged to eliminate Iodine deficiency by the year 2000. Commenting on this meeting, John T. Dunn stated in 1993, “The goal is technically feasible, but many obstacles must be overcome before it is realized.” In the list of obstacles, no mention was made of the greatest obstacle of them all: Our total ignorance regarding sufficiency of the whole human body for iodine.
It is obvious that iodine deficiency has been equated with the simple goiter, cretinism, and iodine deficiency disorders related to its role in thyroidal physiology. Supplementation was considered adequate if such amount prevented cretinism, simple goiter and symptoms of hypothyroidism. The assumption that the only role of iodine as an essential element is in its essentiality for the synthesis of T3 and T4, became a dogma. With the advent of sensitive assays, Thyroid Stimulating Hormones (TSH) was promoted to queen of tests for thyroid functions and Iodine was forgotten altogether as irrelevant to the point where most endocrinologists and other medical practitioners do not request a single test for urine iodine concentration, during their whole medical career.
I think this is a very telling introduction to the importance of iodine. All of the reading that I have been doing on the subject of Iodine is confirming that we all need much more Iodine than we have been led to believe, and the consequences of deficiency can have enormous impacts on our health, wellbeing and intellectual ability to cope with a world that is becoming more and more complex.
• . . . From another source, I heard this week that radiation accumulates in our bodies in the thyroid, HOWEVER, if we have a sufficiency of iodine, the radiation is rejected from the body, and we are protected from the radiation poisoning
• Speaking of books, this past weekend, my reading project was Iodine – Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It (2nd Edition) by Dr. David Brownstein, MD. The preface to this book is by Dr. Guy E. Abraham, MD, FACN. To quote the last two paragraphs of Dr. Abraham’s Preface . . . ”This book by Dr. David Brownstein is a welcome departure from the past and a fresh look at facts only, discarding myths and unfounded concerns about inorganic, non- radioactive iodine/iodide. Patients will be grateful to Dr. Brownstein for bringing to light a simple, safe, inexpensive way of healing many medical conditions.”
“The ultimate Healer is the Creator of heaven and earth. His guidance has been felt constantly during this project by this author. May He bless and guide Dr. Brownstein and his patients. ‘I the LORD am your healer.’ Exodus 15:26." Dr. Abraham is one of the major researchers in the field of Iodine and has many publications and books to his credit.
Through reading this book, I now recognize why I was guided to the Edgar Cayce’s iodine formulation.
Again from reading the book, I have learned that over 90% of the population is iodine deficient. The RDA standard that is set for iodine is about 1/50th of our actual need for iodine. The common myth is that we get all the iodine that we need from salt . . . that is nothing more nor less than a myth. We might possibly get the RDA from salt, but that leaves us woefully deficient unless we have another major source for iodine. To further exacerbate the problem, bromine that is now added to bread instead of iodine, chlorine and fluoride all cause a depletion of iodine in our system . . . just one of the insidious prices we pay for living in modern society.
A lack of sufficient iodine in our system can lead to low energy, mental retardation or low mental functioning, breast cancer or fibrocystic breast disease, goiters, prostate cancer and thyroid disease. Dr. Brownstein documents that many of these conditions that result from iodine deficiency can indeed be reversed when we receive an adequate amount of iodine into our system. Dr. Brownstein tells us in his book that there is a fairly simple test for iodine levels that he terms an Iodine Loading Test based on urine testing. I don’t pretend to understand the technical details of the test, but it sounds quite simple and inexpensive.
Additionally, there is the so-called Patch Test for Iodine that I mentioned in an earlier Newsletter. We feel blessed to have been guided to this product and to the greater understanding of the importance of Iodine in the Wellness equation. Scan the Internet about iodine and particularly look for papers by Dr. Abraham and Dr. Brownstein. The bibliography of the book lists at least 50 related papers and books. Pay attention . . . this is important!
