Episode 163 - 9.7.25 Iodine: The Forgotten Mineral

Dr. Thomas Lodi

The forgotten power of iodine takes center stage in this enlightening exploration of thyroid health, immune function, and holistic healing approaches. Dr. Thomas Lodi reveals why this critical mineral deserves far more attention than it receives in conventional medicine, explaining how iodine deficiency undermines not just thyroid performance but our entire immune response.

Most people living in iodine-deficient regions unknowingly suffer as their thyroid glands substitute bromide, fluoride, and chloride for missing iodine molecules, creating structurally similar but functionally impaired thyroid hormones. This substitution goes undetected in standard blood tests yet wreaks havoc throughout the body. The solution? A year-long restoration protocol using 25mg of iodine daily, paired with natural thyroid support to prevent temporary hypothyroidism during the transition.

Beyond iodine, Dr. Lodi dives deep into his comprehensive approach to what he terms "chronically fermenting cells" (CFCs) – a more empowering and accurate description than cancer. By understanding these cells as fermenting rather than mysterious invaders, patients gain a clear path forward: create an internal environment where these cells cannot thrive. This reframing transforms the healing journey from one of fear to one of purpose and control.

The connection between parasites and chronic illness emerges as another crucial piece of the healing puzzle. Dr. Lodi shares specific anti-parasitic protocols combining medications like ivermectin, fenbendazole, and niclosamide with proper liver support supplements. These treatments extend beyond parasite elimination to potentially impact chronic conditions through multiple mechanisms, highlighting the interconnected nature of body systems.
