    Selenium: The Silent Guardian of Your Vitality

    The Greek Moon Goddess’s Gift to Modern Detox

    Selenium, named after Selene the Greek Moon Goddess, is far more than a trace mineral—it is a critical defense system within your body, essential for energy production, immunity, and particularly, thyroid health.

    While most people focus on Calcium for bones and Iodine for the thyroid, Selenium forms a crucial link that protects your entire energy metabolism from environmental toxins.

    🔬 Part I: Selenium’s Essential Role in Energy and Detox

    Selenium’s function is intimately tied to two vital areas of health: acting as a supreme antioxidant and serving as a chemical antidote to mercury toxicity.

    The Antioxidant Shield

    The body’s energy production process (metabolism) constantly creates oxidative stress—a byproduct that can damage cells and proteins. Selenium is the core component of several enzymes, known as selenoproteins, that control this damage:

    Glutathione

    Diagram showing Glutathione Peroxidase (GPO) converting Hydrogen Peroxide to Water and Oxygen

    Figure 1: How Selenium-based GPO neutralizes metabolic byproducts.

    • Glutathione Peroxidase (GPO): This selenoprotein acts like a chemical cleanup crew, converting damaging Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) into harmless water.
    • Mitochondrial Protection: GPO is vital in protecting the mitochondria (the cell’s power plants) from damage caused by free radicals generated during oxygen use. This protection is key to sustained energy production and preventing cellular dysfunction.

    The Mercury Antidote

    Selenium possesses an extremely high affinity for heavy metals, especially Mercury (Hg). This unique chemical bond is why selenium is crucial for heavy metal detoxification:

    Selenium Mercury

    Figure 2: The chemical sequestration of toxic Mercury by Selenium.

    • Selenium rapidly binds to mercury, rendering it less toxic and easier for the body to excrete.
    • Studies show that selenium is essential for suppressing the toxic effects of mercury, especially the highly toxic methyl mercury found in certain fish (Selenium and Mercury Fishing for Answers).

    đź’ˇ Part II: The Thyroid-Iodine Nexus and the Selenium Problem

    The thyroid is the master regulator of metabolism, using Iodine to produce the energy hormones T4 & T3. Selenium is indispensable to this process, acting in two distinct pathways:

    T4 activation

    Diagram showing the conversion of inactive thyroid hormone T4 to active hormone T3 by a Selenium-dependent enzyme

    Figure 3: The essential role of Selenium in Thyroid hormone activation.

    1. Stress Reduction (GPO Pathway)

    When the thyroid uses the unenergized form of iodine, known as iodide (I-), it requires a high-energy conversion step involving the enzyme TPO. This step generates a large amount of Hydrogen Peroxide.

    • If the body is selenium deficient, the thyroid cannot make enough GPO to neutralize this H2O2.
    • This leads to oxidative damage within the thyroid, forcing the gland to “shut down” or slow hormone production to protect itself. This is a common mechanism for thyroid strain and damage (Physiology, Thyroid Hormone).

    2. Hormone Activation (Deiodinase Pathway)

    Once thyroid hormones are produced, Selenium is needed a second time for activation:

    The selenium-containing enzyme Thyroxine Deiodinase (DI) removes one iodine molecule from the storage hormone T4 (Thyroxine) to create the highly active hormone T3 (Triiodothyronine). This process is critical for signaling energy demands throughout the body.

    The Problem: When Selenium is Depleted or Overwhelmed
    A modern lifestyle—characterized by iodine deficiency and high exposure to mercury and other heavy metals—places an enormous burden on the body’s selenium reserves.

    • Toxin Hijack: Mercury binds to available selenium, depleting the reserves needed to protect the thyroid and mitochondria.
    • Oxidative Stress: Using conventional iodide supplements forces the GPO pathway to work harder, accelerating selenium depletion and increasing thyroid stress.

    When selenium reserves are overwhelmed, both the thyroid’s ability to protect itself and its ability to activate T4 into T3 are compromised, leading to low energy and chronic stress.

    🌿 Part III: The Synergistic Solution

    While selenium is absolutely critical, the science shows that you should never supplement selenium without also supplementing iodine (unless under specific medical guidance), because the thyroid needs iodine to utilize selenium effectively.

    The Power of Energized Iodine (NeuIodine)

    The key to protecting your selenium reserves and optimizing thyroid health lies in using the body’s preferred form of iodine: energized nascent iodine.

    Iodine comparison

    Diagram comparing the stressful iodide pathway with the synergistic nascent iodine pathway, showing how the latter preserves Selenium

    Figure 4: How Nascent Iodine preserves Selenium reserves.

    • Bypassing the Stress: Nascent iodine can be directly incorporated into thyroid hormones, effectively bypassing the energy-intensive, hydrogen-peroxide-generating GPO pathway.
    • Preserving Reserves: By avoiding the use of iodide, less selenium is consumed neutralizing oxidative stress, allowing available selenium to be preferentially used for the crucial T3 activation pathway (Deiodinase).

    This synergistic approach—removing toxins (which saves selenium) and supplying non-stressful iodine (which saves selenium)—is the most effective way to restore energy homeostasis.

    iMedDo products, which utilize energized nascent iodine (NeuIodine) and colloidal silver, are designed to work synergistically with your body’s natural detox pathways, including those involving essential nutrients like selenium. Selenium supplementation is supported as part of a regular multivitamin regimen to enhance the effectiveness of the detox system.

    🧬 Appendix: Beyond the Thyroid

    Selenium’s impact extends throughout the nervous system and cellular energy processing:

    • Neuroscience: Selenoproteins protect the brain from oxidative stress, particularly through GPO, which helps regulate signaling pathways. Interestingly, Glutathione, a component of the GPO system, is also a neurotransmitter, highlighting how oxidative stress signals can directly influence brain function.
    • Mitochondrial Energy: The history of life shows that when single-celled organisms evolved mitochondria (eukaryotic cells), they began to use iodine alongside selenium for a new energy pathway. Selenium is thought to work synergistically with iodine and even silver to protect the mitochondrial membranes of healthy cells while hastening the destruction of dysfunctional (cancerous) cells.

  • How to Protect Your Breasts: the micronutrient that matters

    ByiMedDo

    October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when we focus on prevention, early detection, and supporting the millions of women impacted by this disease. While factors like genetics and lifestyle are well-known, many women are unaware of a surprisingly critical element in the breast health equation: Iodine.

    Iodine is a foundational micronutrient, but its role extends far beyond the common advice to “support your thyroid.” For women, especially those planning a family or navigating motherhood, understanding iodine’s function in the breast can be a powerful step toward proactive breast health.

    Iodine

    The Surprising Link: Breast Tissue and Your Thyroid

    The tissue in your breasts, particularly the mammary gland, has a powerful, biological connection to your thyroid. This is not a coincidence; it’s a design feature critical to maternal and infant health.

    Both tissues share a specialized transport system called the Sodium Iodide Symporter (NIS). Think of NIS as a tiny, dedicated pump that actively pulls iodine from your bloodstream into the cells where it’s needed.

    • In the Thyroid: The NIS pump ensures the thyroid has enough iodine to produce essential hormones that regulate your metabolism.
    • In the Breast: The same NIS pump is highly active, especially during lactation. This shared mechanism highlights the importance of iodine for the normal function of breast tissue. Troublingly, studies have shown that the NIS is also present in a high percentage of breast cancer cases, suggesting that healthy iodine balance is crucial for cellular regulation in this tissue (Tazebay et al., 2000).
    thyroid

    The Breast as Your Body’s Iodine ‘Storage Tank’

    While the thyroid holds the highest concentration of iodine per gram of tissue, the breast tissue is confirmed to be a major site of non-hormonal iodine concentration in the female body, alongside the ovaries and cervix. In fact, some research suggests that non-hormonal iodine in these extrathyroidal tissues accounts for a significant portion—60–80%—of your total body iodine reserves.

    This massive capacity for storage isn’t just arbitrary; it suggests a critical role for the breast in maintaining the body’s overall iodine balance and protection.

    The Greatest Reserve: Sacrificing for the Next Generation

    iMedDo’s founder, BenGo HealthWarrior, believes that the female body is designed to give its iodine reserves to babies is backed by established physiological facts, known as Iodine Partitioning:

    1. High Demand: The iodine requirements for a lactating woman are the highest of any adult demographic.
    2. Concentration: The mammary gland aggressively accumulates iodine via the NIS transporter to produce breast milk. It produces milk with an iodine concentration that is 20–50 times greater than that of maternal plasma (Fuge & Johnson, 1986).
    3. The Result: This massive iodine transfer is an evolutionary imperative to ensure the newborn receives enough iodine for proper brain development. However, this process can severely deplete the mother’s own reserves, especially if she was already deficient.

    A Critical Health Question: Is Depletion a Hidden Risk?

    iMedDo’s founder Ben Goins hypothesis that this depletion may contribute to an increased risk of developing breast and/or thyroid issues after childbirth is rooted in two concerning associations found in literature:

    1. Iodine Deficiency and Mammary Issues: Numerous epidemiological and animal studies suggest that iodine deficiency is a modifiable risk factor associated with the development of mammary pathology and fibrocystic breast disease (a condition affecting up to 50% of women).
    2. Thyroid-Breast Cancer Link: The shared NIS mechanism and hormonal pathways have led researchers to observe that patients with thyroid problems often show an elevated risk for breast issues, and vice versa (Venturi & Venturi, 2009).

    While breastfeeding is widely accepted as having an overall protective effect against breast cancer, subclinical iodine deficiency—exacerbated by the massive transfer of iodine during nursing—remains a major concern for women’s long-term health. The risk is not breastfeeding itself, but the lack of repletion of a vital resource afterwards.

    Your Next Step in Proactive Breast Health

    The critical takeaway is simple: your breast tissue needs iodine. For women, especially those who have been pregnant or breastfeeding, restoring and maintaining healthy iodine levels is a proactive strategy worth exploring.

  • Vitamin D: The Essential Hormone for Better Health & Stronger Immunity

    ByiMedDo

    Many people think of Vitamin D as just a vitamin, but it’s actually a crucial steroid hormone that plays a vital role in numerous bodily functions. Understanding its true nature and how it interacts with other essential nutrients can unlock significant benefits for your overall health, energy levels, and even mental well-being.

    The Truth About Vitamin D: More Than Just Sunshine

    While often associated with sunlight, Vitamin D’s activation and function depend on a complex interplay with other nutrients, particularly Vitamin C and Iodine. A “Vitamin D problem,” often manifesting as calcium imbalances, is frequently connected to underlying issues with Iodine nutrition and insufficient Vitamin C.

    cholesterol

    Vitamin D Synthesis: From Cholesterol to Hormone

    Vitamin D is synthesized in your body from cholesterol. When your skin is exposed to UVB rays from sunlight, cholesterol is converted into an inactive form of Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). This process is part of the body’s natural response to sun exposure.

    However, this initial form of Vitamin D3 is biologically inert. It must undergo two additional activation steps through hydroxylation processes in the body:

    1. First Hydroxylation (in the Liver): Vitamin D3 travels to the liver, where it receives its first hydroxyl group, becoming 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], also known as calcidiol. This form is often measured in blood tests to assess Vitamin D levels.
    2. Second Hydroxylation (in the Kidneys): The liver-processed Vitamin D then moves to the kidneys, where it receives a second hydroxyl group. This final step produces 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (also known as calcitriol), which is the biologically active steroid hormone form of Vitamin D. This active form is crucial for its roles in the body.
    Calcitriol

    For more information on Vitamin D activation and transport, refer to the detailed article by Sirajudeen et al. (2019).

    The Critical Role of Vitamin C in Vitamin D Activation

    A key insight into Vitamin D function is the absolute necessity of Vitamin C. The hydroxylase enzymes responsible for adding the crucial hydroxyl groups to Vitamin D in the liver and kidneys require iron to function. Vitamin C is vital for keeping this iron in the correct reduced state (Fe2+), ensuring the hydroxylase enzymes can smoothly activate Vitamin D. Therefore, sufficient Vitamin C intake is critical for your body to fully utilize the Vitamin D it produces or obtains from supplements.

    Vitamin D and Thyroid Health: An Energy Connection

    What often appears as a “low Vitamin D” problem can be deeply connected to your thyroid function and overall energy metabolism. The thyroid, primarily through iodine, balances the body’s energy systems, including the calcium pathway which Vitamin D influences.

    When the body’s energy is low (often due to Iodine deficiency), the parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels may increase. PTH works to raise calcium levels in the blood, and it also regulates Vitamin D activation. This can create a cycle where the body tries to compensate for low energy by leveraging the calcium pathway, with Vitamin D as a key component. Thus, ensuring optimal thyroid function through adequate iodine can alleviate stress on the Vitamin D-calcium pathway.

    Other Nutrients Supporting Vitamin D Function:

    • Vitamin E: This fat-soluble vitamin helps protect your skin from UV damage, supporting the initial production of Vitamin D. Vitamin C helps recycle Vitamin E.
    • Iron: As a component of hydroxylase enzymes, proper iron balance (supported by Vitamin C) is crucial for Vitamin D activation.
    • Zinc: Activated Vitamin D interacts with over 1000 target genes using “zinc finger” motifs, indicating zinc’s importance for Vitamin D’s genetic expression roles.

    The iMedDo Detox System: Enhancing Vitamin D Efficiency

    The iMedDo Detox System (featuring NeuIodine, NeuSilver, and NeuGold) works synergistically with your body’s Vitamin D pathways. It helps by:

    • Clearing Heavy Metals: Toxins like lead, mercury, and cadmium can block calcium pathways and interfere with Vitamin D function. Gold helps detoxify lead, while the system overall aids in removing these heavy metals.
    • Addressing Fluoride: Fluoride is a significant disruptor of calcium homeostasis and iodine energy. The iMedDo system helps to detoxify fluoride, which can otherwise interfere with Vitamin D activation and calcium reabsorption, potentially forming insoluble calcium fluoride crystals.
    • Boosting Energy: By supporting overall energy production and protecting key organs, the system helps the body utilize Vitamin D more efficiently and maintain a balanced calcium energy system, reducing reliance on stress-induced pathways.

    Important Considerations for Vitamin D:

    • Supplementation: While supplementation is an option, prioritize natural Vitamin D production from sunlight and dietary sources like fatty fish (salmon, tuna) and eggs. Moderate supplementation, as found in a quality multivitamin, is often sufficient, as excess unactivated Vitamin D can accumulate.
    • Infant Nutrition: Breastmilk is the ideal nutritional source for infants. For optimal infant Vitamin D, focus on ensuring the breastfeeding mother receives adequate Vitamin D (from sun and diet) and, critically, sufficient Vitamin C for activation, so it can be passed naturally to the baby.
    • Bone Health: Low energy and toxin buildup can contribute to low calcium, potentially leading to bone loss (osteoporosis). The thyroid’s calcium pathway, influenced by Vitamin D, plays a role here. Supporting overall energy with iodine and magnesium can help maintain bone density.
    • Immune & Heart Health: Activated Vitamin D is known to modulate the immune system by suppressing pro-inflammatory responses. Studies suggest a potential link between lower Vitamin D levels and increased inflammation and heart damage, as seen in cases of myocarditis (e.g., referencing studies like those by Wheeler et al. 2019 or others on inflammation and Vitamin D). However, a holistic approach involving Vitamin C, iodine, and detoxification (like with colloidal gold and silver) offers comprehensive support for immune and heart health.

  • Beyond Implants: How to Detox Titanium for Better Memory & Vitality

    ByiMedDo

    Following up on discussions about modern health challenges, many are concerned about toxins like microplastics and heavy metals. This article focuses on Titanium, an element often touted for its strength, but which can pose significant health risks when it accumulates in the body. We’ll explore what Titanium is, common sources of exposure, its impact on your health, and how the iMedDo Detox System can help.

    What is Titanium?

    Titanium (Ti, element #22) is a common transition metal, known for its strength and corrosion resistance. While it’s relatively light, it’s considered a toxic heavy metal in the nutritional sense, as it has no known biological role or benefits for human health. In nature, it’s primarily found as titanium dioxide (TiO2), a white powder used in pigments.

    Is Titanium Toxic?

    Yes, titanium is toxic. Research, including a general review by Kim et al. (2019), confirms the presence and toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in various studies. Although often exaggerated as “inert and biocompatible” in medical applications, Titanium ions can still leach from materials over time, build up in tissues, and cause toxicity.

    Common Sources of Titanium Exposure:

    • Medical Implants: This is a primary source. Titanium is used in orthopedic implants (like hip or knee replacements) and some dental implants. Over time, these implants can release titanium ions into the body.
    • PET Plastic Containers (Japanese Sourced): Certain #1 PET plastic containers, especially those manufactured using titanium as a catalyst, can leach titanium.
    • Sunscreens: Titanium dioxide is a common ingredient in many sunscreens. While it blocks UV rays, nano-titanium formulations, in particular, can lead to titanium absorption. Opt for zinc oxide sunscreens instead.
    • Golf Clubs & Other Products: While less significant, playing with titanium golf clubs or other consumer products can result in minor exposure through skin contact.
    yellow

    Titanium Toxicity & Your Health

    Titanium accumulation can affect multiple organs, including the lungs, skin, liver, kidneys, and especially the brain.

    Here are some key health impacts:

    • Skin & Nails: Titanium can cause keratin dysfunction, leading to conditions like Yellow Nail Syndrome, where fingernails turn yellow due to Keratin cysts.
    • Organ Disruption: Studies confirm titanium can disrupt the liver, kidneys, spleen, and lungs (Kim et al. 2019).
    • Blood Disorders: Accumulation of titanium debris from implants has been linked to conditions like leukocytopenia and anemia, as well as general weakness (Kim et al. 2019).
    • Allergic Reactions: Some individuals develop titanium allergies, manifesting as eczema or even improper bone formation around implants.
    • Bone Health: Titanium is a suspected bone disrupter, potentially interfering with the body’s energy systems, which can contribute to bone loss (osteoporosis).
    • Brain Damage & Memory Loss: Crucially, recent research highlights titanium’s neurotoxicity. Shahar et al. (2021) found that titanium leached from implants can cross the blood-brain barrier, causing memory deficits, brain inflammation, and potentially contributing to dementia and Alzheimer’s.

  • Detox Your Brain: How to Fight hidden Microplastic Invaders

    ByiMedDo

    Hey iMedDo Family, Dr. Ben Go back with you! Following up on our vitamin D discussion, many of you have asked about tackling another modern health challenge: microplastics. These tiny plastic fragments are everywhere, and their impact on our health is a growing concern. But fear not, because the iMedDo Detox System, with its powerful blend of Iodine, Silver, and Gold, is your invaluable ally in this detox journey. Let’s dive into the world of microplastics and how we can fight back!

    What Exactly Are Microplastics?

    Microplastics are simply small plastic particles, often defined as being under 5 millimeters in size. They arise from the breakdown of larger plastics through environmental factors like sunlight (photo-degradation). What’s particularly concerning are halogenated microplastics, containing elements like chlorine and especially fluorine (as in PFAS). These are more resistant to breakdown and, being lipophilic (fat-loving), tend to bioaccumulate in our bodies and biomagnify up the food chain, posing a significant threat to both our health and the environment. The recent buzz around highly toxic PFAS highlights the urgency of this issue. Because microplastics can even cross the blood-brain barrier, their impact extends beyond our physical well-being, potentially affecting our mental clarity and even our spiritual journey. You can’t meditate on a brain full of Barbie doll bits!

    Decoding the Plastic Jungle: Recycling Numbers Matter

    Understanding the different types of plastics is key to minimizing exposure. Here’s a quick rundown of common plastics and their potential toxicity:

    • #1 PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate): Often found in clear beverage bottles. Dr. Ben Go now considers this a “Red – Avoid” plastic due to its potential to leach benzene-like compounds (xenoestrogens) and heavy metals like antimony or titanium. It’s estimated that 90% of human plastic exposure comes from drinking from plastic bottles, and PET is a major culprit.
    • #2 HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Typically found in more opaque containers like milk jugs. Considered a “Green – Safe” plastic as it’s a simple hydrocarbon chain.
    • #3 PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): A “Red – Avoid” plastic due to its chlorine content (halogenated) and potential for toxic additives like PCBs (now banned) and phthalates (xenoestrogens).
    • #4 LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene): Another “Green – Safe” hydrocarbon chain plastic.
    • #5 PP (Polypropylene): A “Green – Safe” hydrocarbon chain plastic.
    • #6 PS (Polystyrene): A “Red – Avoid” plastic due to its benzene-like ring structure. Can leach carcinogenic styrene, especially when heated.
    • #7 PC (Polycarbonate): A “Red – Avoid” plastic containing double benzene-like ring structures (xenoestrogens) and the notorious BPA (another xenoestrogen).

    Key Takeaway: Prioritize #2 (HDPE), #4 (LDPE), and #5 (PP) when you need to use plastic. Avoid #1 (PET), #3 (PVC), #6 (PS), and #7 (PC), especially for food and beverages. Be wary of “BPA-free” labels, ensuring the replacement plastic is actually safer (like HDPE) and not a worse alternative like PVC.

    The iMedDo Advantage: Your Microplastic Detox Protocol

    The iMedDo Detox System, comprising NeuIodine, NeuSilver, and NeuGold, offers a powerful and comprehensive approach to microplastic detoxification:

    • NeuGold: Targeting Benzene-Like Microplastics: Dr. Ben Go’s personal experience shows that nano-colloidal gold is remarkably effective at detoxing benzene-like compounds in the brain. Since PET, PS, and PC microplastics break down into these structures, NeuGold is crucial for neutralizing their toxicity, potentially detoxing them from the brain in days, not weeks as suggested by recent research (Huang 2025). Gold also aids in detoxing fluorine and other halogens and acts as a general anti-inflammatory in the brain and liver.
    • NeuIodine: The Universal Detoxifier: Nascent iodine is the heavy lifter, capable of breaking down carbon polymers (the backbone of all plastics), including both halogenated (PVC, PTFE, PFAS) and ring-structured (PET, PS, PC) microplastics. It’s especially vital for tackling stubborn fluorinated microplastics (PFAS). Iodine also helps clear calcium fluoride crystals, improving circulation and preventing microplastics from getting stuck.
    • NeuSilver: The Anti-Biofilm Protector: Nano-colloidal silver is a potent anti-germicidal, disrupting bacterial biofilms that can thrive on microplastic surfaces. This is crucial for preventing the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Silver also acts as a full-body anti-inflammatory and supports kidney function during detoxification, as microplastics are eliminated through urine.

    Huang H et al. Microplastics in the bloodstream can induce cerebral thrombosis by causing cell obstruction and lead to neurobehavioral abnormalities. Sci Adv. 2025 Jan 24;11(4).

    This study highlights the urgency of microplastic detox, showing they can reach the brain in just 30 minutes! Dr. Ben Go’s experience with gold suggests a much faster detoxification timeline with the iMedDo system.

  • Hashimoto’s Unveiled: Your Expert Guide to Thyroid Health from iMedDo

    ByiMedDo

    Everywhere I go, I meet incredible congregants navigating the challenges of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. And my message to them, and now to you, is about Thyroid Freedom Day! Let’s declare independence from the invisible collar of thyroid disease.

    Please read, digest, and help me spread this message of medical freedom.

    What is Hashimoto’s, Really?

    Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition where your body’s immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid gland. You see, your thyroid is super smart. It notices when it’s not making proper thyroid hormones (like T4 and T3). These crucial hormones are supposed to contain iodine molecules. But sometimes, due to various exposures, toxic halogens like fluoride and bromide sneak in instead of iodine.

    When your body detects these imposters, it flags the thyroid as “not working right” and launches an immune response. This leads to the inflammation and damage characteristic of Hashimoto’s, ultimately causing hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid).

    The Solution? Give your thyroid the right kind of iodine. This helps flush out those toxic halogens, allowing your thyroid to correctly produce the energy-rich hormones it needs. When your thyroid functions correctly, your body can calm its autoimmune response. Our goal? To get your thyroid working again, reverse that sluggish hypothyroidism, and ultimately, help you reduce reliance on synthetic thyroid hormones like Levothyroxine (which is essentially synthetic T4 – 4 iodine molecules delivered the “drug way”).

    Why “Nascent Iodine” is Key for Hashimoto’s (Skip the Iodide!)

    This is crucial for anyone with Hashimoto’s: avoid iodide forms of iodine (like those found in Lugol’s iodine). Here’s why:

    Your body has to work harder to use iodide. It needs an enzyme called thyroid peroxidase (TPO) to “energize” it, which can create oxidative stress and damage. While healthy thyroids might handle this fine, a Hashimoto’s thyroid is already inflamed and can’t take on extra oxidative burden.

    Enter Nascent Iodine: This unique, energized form of iodine bypasses the need for TPO. It’s highly reactive and can directly combine with carbon to form “organified iodine” – the kind your thyroid hormones need – without causing additional oxidative stress.

    By using NeuIodine (which is nascent iodine) as part of the iMedDo Core Detox & Protect System – combined with anti-inflammatory NeuSilver and NeuGold – your thyroid gets the energized iodine it needs naturally. This helps counter the inflammation of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

    Already on Levothyroxine? No Worries!

    You’re not alone! Levothyroxine is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs out there, and it’s basically a synthetic version of your body’s super energy molecule, T4 (thyroxine). T4 is your body’s iodine energy store, signaling overall energy levels.

    If you have Hashimoto’s and are taking Levothyroxine, you should continue taking it! Think of it as ensuring your body gets essential organified iodine while you introduce NeuIodine. NeuIodine gives your body the chance to make organified iodine naturally, without the inflammation that iodide might cause.

    After consistently detoxing with the iMedDo Core Detox & Protect System for at least 6 months, you can then consider carefully weaning yourself off Levothyroxine. This can be a bit tricky, so please:

    Keep in mind that mainstream thyroid hormone levels are often set too low – about 2x too low for men and 4x too low for women. Many people with Hashimoto’s may need longer to detox and heal (sometimes 1-3 years, with ~2 years being an average). Just keep detoxing, and you’ll feel your body getting stronger!

    The iMedDo Core Detox & Protect System: Your Path to Healing

    The iMedDo Core Detox & Protect System is designed to be super easy to use, ensuring your body gets plenty of energy through its natural iodine system. It helps prevent your thyroid from relying on a backup calcium energy system, which could potentially lead to issues like osteoporosis.

    When you have Hashimoto’s, the Levothyroxine provides just enough iodine for survival, but not necessarily enough to truly thrive and detox. By adding NeuIodine (nascent, not iodide), your body gets the iodine it needs to heal and naturally produce T4 hormones. This reduces your reliance on synthetics, and the ultimate goal is to get your thyroid working so well that it can even process iodide forms of iodine again!

    How to Use the iMedDo Core Detox & Protect System:

    It’s simple:

    • Apply a drop of NeuIodine to your skin.
    • Add a drop of NeuSilver and NeuGold to water and drink.
    • Do this every day!

    We even have dose ramping for NeuIodine: you slowly increase your dosage by 1 drop each week. Men typically work up to 2 drops, women up to 4, and pregnant or breastfeeding women up to 6 drops of NeuIodine.

    The iMedDo Detox System is a 6-month detox protocol, available as a $299 donation to the iMedDo Foundation at iMedDo.club/store (that’s about $1.67/day!). You’ll notice more energy, and your body will be able to safely detox, allowing your inflamed thyroid to heal by flushing out the underlying halogens and heavy metals that cause Hashimoto’s.

    Even after you fully heal your thyroid, remember: iodine is a daily nutrient, just like Vitamin C! If you stop taking it, your energy levels will drop. Continue using the iMedDo Core Detox & Protect System for ongoing nutritional support.
