Interesting Facts About Water & Iodine
IODINE – ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ON SUPPLEMENTING WHEN USING SEA SALT
Iodine is a very important element for the regulation of the fluid content of the body. Iodine is essential for the thyroid gland to manufacture thyroxin, its primary hormone.* It seems that thyroxin is the element that stimulates the cells to manufacture all the pump proteins that regulate the sodium, potassium, and other mineral balances outside and inside the cells, and that generate energy in the process. With the movement of sodium and potassium across the cell membrane, not only will water also move to balance the osmotic pressure in and out of the cell, but the other mineral-transferring pumps will take their cue and regulate the magnesium, potassium and calcium levels of the cell interior as well.
Before salt was iodized, many people suffered from iodine deficiency and lumpy thyroid gland enlargement in their necks, known as thyroid goiter. One of the major complications of iodine deficiency is the collection of hard-to-move and inelastic swelling and edema, known as myxedema. Other complications are dry skin, loss of hair and memory, tiredness, sleepiness and loss of muscle tissue. As you can see, iodine is vital for good health and good fluid balance.
*Much to my regret*, *I discovered that unrefined sea salt does not have enough iodine. *Thinking that sea salt has many important trace elements, I switched to using only sea salt and was not diligent in taking foods and multivitamins that would provide my body with the iodine it needs. My second mistake was that being so busy with sharing my medical breakthrough on water metabolism of the body with people that I was not alert to my own health problems. I developed all the early stages of iodine deficiency, but no goiter in my neck. However, I developed an uncomfortable feeling in my chest and also shortness of breath.
A high-resolution CT scan of my chest revealed a massive thyroid goiter in my chest that was pressing on my trachea, to the point of deforming it. This was three months ago. I adjusted my iodine intake in the form of dried kelp or as part of the composition of the one-a-day multivitamin that I now take religiously. As a result, my breathing problem has cleared, my edema has cleared, I am no longer lethargic, and my energy level has increased; my sleep has normalized; my blood pressure is back to the normal range. I now feel much healthier and more confident and have lost fifteen pounds of the swelling that I had amassed. All these improvements have been made possible because of the vital role of simple iodine in the physiology of the body and adjustment to my intake of vital minerals mentioned above. You see, even doctors get sick, and that is how we learn*. A word of caution: Do not overdo iodine intake. It could cause other problems.*

WATER IS THE FIRST NUTRIENT THE BODY NEEDS
Here are some of the other reasons why your body needs water everyday:
1.Without water, nothing lives.
2.Comparative shortage of water suppresses and eventually kills some aspects of the body.
3.Water is the main source of energy—the “cash flow” of the body.
4.Water generates electrical and magnetic energy inside each and every cell of the body—it provides the power to live.
5.Water prevents DNA damage and makes its repair mechanisms more efficient—less abnormal DNA is made.
6.Water increases greatly the efficiency of the immune system in the bone marrow where the immune system is formed (all its mechanisms)—including its efficiency against cancer.
7.Water is the main solvent for all foods, vitamins, and minerals. It is used in the breakdown of food into smaller particles and their eventual metabolism and assimilation.
8.Water energizes food, and food particles are then able to supply the body with this energy during digestion. This is why food without water has absolutely no energy value for the body.
9.Water increases the rate of absorption into the body of essential substances in food.
10.Water is used to transport all substances inside the body.
11.Water increases the efficiency of red blood sells in collecting oxygen in the lungs.
12.When water reaches a cell, it brings the cell oxygen and takes the waste gases to the lungs for disposal.
13.Water clears toxic waste from different parts of the body and takes it to the liver and kidneys for disposal.
14.Water is the main lubricant in the joint spaces and prevents arthritis and back pain.
15.Water is used in the spinal discs to make them “shock-absorbing water cushions.”
16.Water is the best lubricating laxative and prevents constipation.
17.Water prevents heart attacks and strokes.
18.Water prevents clogging of arteries in the heart and the brain.
19.Water is essential for the body’s cooling (sweat) and heating (electrical) systems.
20.Water gives us power and electrical energy for all brain functions, particularly thinking.
21.Water is directly needed for the efficient manufacture of all neurotransmitters, including serotonin.
22.Water is directly needed for the production of all hormones made by the brain, including melatonin.
23.Water prevents attention deficit disorder in children and adults.
24.Water increases efficiency at work; it expands your attention span.
25.Water is a better pick-me-up than any other beverage in the world—and it has no side effects.
26.Water prevents stress, anxiety, and depression.
27.Water restores normal sleep rhythms.
28.Water prevents fatigue—it gives the energy of youth.
29.Water makes the skin smooth and prevents aging.
30.Water gives luster and shine to the eyes.
31.Water prevents glaucoma.
32.Water normalizes the blood-manufacturing systems in the bone marrow—it helps prevent leukemia and lymphoma.
Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside some of the bones in the body, including the hip and thigh bones. Bone marrow contains immature cells, called stem cells.
33.Water is absolutely vital for making the immune system more efficient in different regions to fight infections and cancer cells where they are formed.
34.Water dilutes the blood and prevents it from clotting during circulation.
35.Water decreases premenstrual pains and hot flashes.
36.Water and heartbeats create the dilution of “waves” that keep things from “sedimenting” in the blood stream.
37.The human body has no water storage to draw on during dehydration. This is why you must drink regularly throughout the day.
38.Dehydration prevents sex hormone production—one of the primary causes of impotence and loss of libido.
39.Drinking water separates the sensations of thirst and hunger.
40.To lose weight, water is the best way to go—drink water on time and lose weight without much dieting. Also, you will not eat excessively when you are only thirsty for water.
41.Dehydration causes deposits of toxic sediments in the tissue spaces, fat stores, joints, kidneys, liver, brain, and skin. Water will clear these deposits.
42.Water takes away the morning sickness of pregnancy. {4 AM to 12 Noon is the body's excretion period.}[Your body runs on 3 eight-hour cycles per day. Formally referred to as the Circadian Rhythms, and known for thousands of years via Ayurvedic teachings, to me understanding and applying these body clock principles has been the reason behind enjoying easy digestion, keeping my weight from fluctuating, never experiencing fatigue and maximizing my metabolism.
These are the cycles:
4AM-12PM Elimination
12PM-8PM Appropriation
8PM-4AM Assimilation
During the hours between 4AM and 12PM, your body is in the Elimination Cycle. It never stops to work on your digestion and you can still eat or drink or whatever at this time, but understanding that this is the period most important for cleansing and releasing toxins (‘Eliminating’), we can make the right food choices if we are going to eat. It is best to stick to liquids and most hydrating living foods, as we let our body shed the toxins (think how you wake up tired, sweaty, headachie and with bad breath- all are signs of detox symptoms). So if you do choose to eat during this period, it is important to go for anything that will require minimal digestion and support this cleansing cycle, such as fresh fruit or green juices. This is why you often hear experts refer to breakfast as ‘the most important meal of the day’, exactly so you can make a careful choice on what’s light on digestion, not so you can eat the most gigantic feast. You are breaking the fast (break-fast), so do it right or proper elimination won’t get a chance.
“The elimination cycle is without question your greatest ally in the preservation of health and prevention of disease”; “If a blood test was to be taken every hour for 24 hours, it would show that the bloodstream is most heavily burdened with the by-products of metabolism during the hours between 4am-12noon, indicating the stepped up elimination cycle, because it is the blood that carries waste material to the four channels of elimination: bowels, bladder, lungs, and skin”– Harvey & Marilyn Diamond, Fit for Life
During the hours between 12PM and 8PM, your body is in the Appropriation Cycle. During this period, we are most awake, active, present and therefore efficient at digesting, metabolizing and burning through the majority of our heavily concentrated foods. This is why the majority of meals (lunch, dinner and snacks) also occur during this cycle. The most important thing to do during this period however IS NOT to be dictated by the clock or so called ‘norms’ of mealtime, when we are too starving to care what we have for lunch and tend to shove so much food down ourselves too quickly, that by the time the body registers what happened, it is too late and we overeat, get bloated and ‘too tired’ to digest. The most important thing to do then IS to eat only when hungry and in smaller portions, so you give your body plenty of breaks and chances to break down through the food with the least required effort, so it reserves the energy for everything else you need doing, not merely wasting it on digesting your meals.
During the hours between 8PM and 4AM, your body is in the Assimilation Cycle. This is the time you are most likely to be relaxed or sleeping. This period is when all the ‘assimilating’ or absorbing of nutrients and minerals from your food occurs and gets transported to your organs, bones and cells via the blood. It is when all the rebuilding, renewing and healing takes place. It makes sense to eat dinner early, so that the foods you eat are digested and out of the stomach in preparation for this phase. As all the goodness gets drawn from the food for you to strengthen, the remains get ready for Elimination, the start of the next cycle all over again.
Try this for yourself and be mindful of these three cycles for 10 days. Once you learn to pay attention to them, it will become second nature and your body will reap the bounty of benefits.
43.Water integrates mind and body functions. It increases the ability to realize goals and purpose.
44.Water prevents the loss of memory as we age. It prevents Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and Lou Gehrig’s disease.
45.Water reverses addictive urges, including those for caffeine, alcohol, and some addictive drugs.
