» Lugol's Iodine Solution Background

In 1880, a French physician named Jacques Lugol originated a solution which contains 5 percent of elemental Iodine in a 10 percent solution of Potassium Iodide. It has been used steadily ever since.

» Iodine Health Benefits

A function of Iodine in the human body relates to clear thinking. Iodine is linked with normal cognitive function. This is the process in the brain responsible for memory, attention, learning, reasoning, and decision making.

Not only does Iodine play an important role in the brain, it also contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function.

It is well established that the Iodine content of the thyroid gland is dependent upon the Iodine available in the food and water intake of the individual. If the Iodine intake is low, the gland is deprived of the element it needs to do its work.

If you are having problems with your thyroid, contact your healthcare professional. They can provide thyroid function tests which can identify the cause of your problem.

» Other Iodine Benefits

• Iodine contributes to the normal growth of children
• Iodine contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
• Iodine contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system
• Iodine also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism

» Iodine in the Human Body

The human body does not produce Iodine so it is an important part of your diet. Dietary Iodine is the best way to get it into the body. Foods which analysis shows are particularly rich in Iodine include all foods from the ocean, along with: radishes, asparagus, carrots, tomatoes, spinach, rhubarb, potatoes, peas, strawberries, mushrooms, lettuce, bananas, cabbage, egg yolk, and onions

» Iodine Displacement

Iodine is an element belonging to the group on the periodic table known as the Halogens. There is a well-known law of halogen displacement which can cause iodine to be ‘pushed’ out of the body. The halogen group is made up of the following elements, shown with their Relative Atomic Weights:

Fluorine	19.0	Most Reactive
Chlorine	35.5
Bromine	80.0
Iodine	127.0	Least Reactive

The critical activity of any one of these four halogens is in inverse proportion to its atomic weight. This means that any one of the four can displace the element with a higher atomic weight, but cannot displace an element with a lower atomic weight. For example, Fluorine can displace Chlorine, Bromine and Iodine because Fluorine has a lower atomic weight than the other three. Similarly, Chlorine can displace Bromine and Iodine because they both have a higher atomic weight, and so on. But the reverse is not possible.
