• How to prevent Bone Loss: Why Selenium can’t be forgotten

     

    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:

    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).

    💡 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.

    Greetings iMedDo congregation! I’ve written a lot about the thyroid in the past, but it’s never enough because so many people, women in particular, are still suffering from easily curable thyroid diseases from lack of knowledge. I bought a thyroid magazine and was disgusted to see how much incorrect information was in it, how discussion of mercury heavy metal toxin and the importance of vitamin C was completely omitted from it, and the magazine promoting stupid things like fluoride and radioactive iodine that it inspired me to write this article as a counterstrike against the darkness. The forces of light are now fully gathered, & it’s time I show the world that I’m the world expert on thyroid health. Quite simply, I am the Thyroid Whisperer. In this article I will explain to you how the thyroid actually works in a way you’ve never heard before, and once you understand then you will be amazed, armored, and armed with the power of God to help heal the world.

    PART ONE: DRBENGO HEALTHWARRIOR EXPLAINS THE THYROID

    WHAT IS THE THYROID

    “The thyroid is a mass of tissue in the neck. It’s located underneath the Adam’s apple (thyroid cartilage) in both men and women. The thyroid tissue is derived from the tongue during developing, but because it controls energy metabolism (fire) in the body, it can be best thought of as the “Tongue of Fire.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    In the past I’ve thought of the thyroid as a “butterfly” because that’s how the Greeks viewed it as Psyche/Soul:

    https://imeddo.club/news/thyroid-quickening/

    But now in 2025, I think of my thyroid as an armored dove descending like a tongue of fire:

    “Armored Dove” where dove wings are thyroid lobes, and shield helmet is thyroid cartilage.

    Imagine the Thyroid cartilage neck armor like a golden helmet protecting your head like a shield helmet (Aegis Helm / Aegisjalmur), and imagine the thyroid as a pair of dove wings associated with the Holy Spirit like a “Tongue of Fire”.

    “They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.” Bible verse Acts 2:3.

    The word thyroid comes from the Greek word “thyreoeidēs” meaning “shield-shaped” referring to the thyroid cartilage. The thyroid gland itself is not shield shaped, but rather is shaped as a pair of wings (most commonly imagined as butterfly, dove, or protective angel wings).

    WHAT DOES THE THYROID DO?

    The thyroid is responsible for controlling all the energy in the body i.e. metabolism. The thyroid gland balances the energy needs of the brain above the neck with the energy needs of the rest of the body below the neck.

    The thyroid balances the energy needs of the head above the neck with the energy needs of the rest of the body using both iodine & calcium modulation.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    “The secret of the thyroid which your heard from the Thyroid Whisperer first is that iodine itself is the energy molecule, and that calcium is really regulating magnesium for energy stabilization. ” DrBenGo Healthwarrior the Thyroid Whisperer

    FOUR THYROID HORMONES & A BRAIN HORMONE

    “The thyroid uses four hormones, two that modulate iodine energy, and two that modulate calcium for magnesium energy stabilization which overall modulate energy needs of the entire body.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    The four hormones are T4, T3, PTH & calcitonin. T4, T3, and calcitonin are made by the thyroid proper, and PTH is made by the parathyroid as part of the greater thyroid anatomy. The thyroid also responds to a fifth hormone from the brain which stimulates the thyroid into action called appropriately thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

    A common point of confusion concerning the thyroid is that people refer to TSH as thyroid hormone when really it is a brain hormone. The mistake is easy to make since typically when people test their thyroid, they test TSH level which is really an indicator of whether the brain is asking for energy or not.

    MULTIPLE FORMS OF IODINE USED BY THE THYROID FOR ENERGY

    For me to become the thyroid expert I am today, it took me approximately two decades of education where I spend the first decade learning science (biochemistry , biophysics, neurosciences), and the second decade learning about iodine. There are many forms of iodine, and to really understand the thyroid you have to learn about the different forms of iodine and how they are used in the thyroid. There is a progression of learning about iodine from learning about iodide (iodine salt), to learning about Lugol’s solution (molecular iodine and iodide in water solvent), to learning about Nascent Iodine to learning about how energized nascent iodine is used in the thyroid as organified iodine (iodine attached to carbon) in the thyroid hormones as T4 and T3. T4 contains four molecules of energized iodine and T3 contains three molecules of energy iodine. The breakthrough I made in thyroid physiology is realizing that it is the iodine itself which is the energy molecule.

    One you realize that iodine itself is the energy molecule, and understand that like a battery iodine can be “energized” or “dead” then the mysteries of how the thyroid work start to become revealed.

    Nascent iodine is the energized form of iodine and iodide salt form is the unenergized form of iodine.

    The iodine in thyroid hormones T4 and T3 are energized iodine (made from nascent iodine into organified iodine).

    T4 (thyroxine) with four energized iodines on it is a super energy molecule, and is the main energy molecule that the thyroid makes and sends out into the blood for the body and brain to use.

    When a tissue wants energy it gets it from one of the four energized iodine molecules on T4 resulting in the still triple energized T3 the active thyroid hormone which now not still contains a lot of energy in its three iodines but also is now used as a signaling molecule which tells the tissue to ramp up energy production via mitochondrial biogenesis.

    By monitoring T4 and T3 levels and the ratio of T4/T3 the thyroid “tongue of fire” can taste how much energy reserve is in the blood (T4), and can tell how hungry the body and brain is for more energy. T3 levels elevated indicate tissues are mobilizing energy by tapping into T4 energy reserves. T3 sends the signal for tissues to ramp up energy production in the form of ATP energy from mitochondrial biogenesis.

    Iodine does much more than just be an energy molecule because it’s also used in energy storage (T4), in energy mobilization (T3) and has additional germicidal, detox, and anti-cancer and even anti-oxidant functions.

    Iodine paralyzes worm parasites using iodide receptors, germicidal and anti-cancer features of iodine when it is in energized molecular form (which has potential to become two atoms of nascent iodine) are believed to be from iodine’s chemical reactivity similar to oxygen. Energized iodine, like oxygen, can oxidize an element on the periodic table allowing the body to use it to detox any toxin making it particularly useful for heavy metal detox. Chemical similarity of iodine as a halogen allows it to detox other toxic halogens fluorine and bromine.

    Iodine not only stimulates more mitochondria, iodine is used in the body to sense and destroy dysfunctional mitochondria. The thyroid’s use of iodine for energy doesn’t just make and store energy, it ramps up energy, and detects cells with an energy problem (cancer) and destroys.

    Iodine is used in the body as both an oxidant for detox and an anti-oxidant for protection.

    “Iodine destroys pathogens and cancer with energy like a flaming sword wielded by the thyroid as your Guardian Angel” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    Thyroid as Guardian Angel wielding a flaming sword driving out the serpent of disease changing curse to cure.

    THYROID ANATOMY

    The thyroid is named after the shield shape of the thyroid cartilage, but it’s actually the winged shaped thyroid gland itself that are we are interested in.

    Thyroid Anatomy Src: stanfordmedicine25.stanford.edu

    So why is the thyroid shaped like a pair of wings? So that it can monitor the blood. Each lobe (wing) of the thyroid sits on top of the carotid artery.

    THE THYROID CONTROLS ENERGY

    WING SHAPE OF THYROID IS SO IT CAN MONITOR & CONTROL ENERGY IN THE BLOOD

    Note how butterfly shape of the thyroid fits perfectly in the neck to allow the thyroid to keep tabs on all the blood coming up the neck from the heart into the brain via the carotid arteries, and all the blood coming back out of the brain back to the body via the jugular veins.

    The wing shape of the thyroid is so that it can monitor, filter, and modify the blood going from the heart to the brain and back.

    The thyroid modifies the iodine and calcium levels in the blood to control all of energy metabolism.

    HOW OFTEN DOES ALL THE BLOOD IN YOUR BODY FLOW THROUGH THE THYROID?

    I’m under the impression that at least every few hours all the blood in the human body flows through the thyroid. I asked an AI to do the calculation to confirm:

    Every hour the total volume of a human body flows through the thyroid. [ Using parameters of Blood flow 100 mL/min for healthy adult human and 6000 mL (6 L) of blood in human body calculated by Grok AI].

    The thyroid monitors and modulates iodine energy and calcium in the blood.

    The energized iodine energy system is the primary energy system of the thyroid, and I view the calcium system as a backup energy system of the thyroid. It is my belief that the thyroid prioritizes iodine energy and then taps into the calcium system for additional energy as needed. The thyroid also has another backup iodine system where it can recycle iodide into energized iodine but it has to work hard to do that as will be explained by iodine recycling system.

    The thyroid also listens to the brain’s requests for energy and takes them under advisement. The thyroid attempts to meet the brain and body’s energy needs using primarily an iodine energy system, a backup calcium energy system and a backup iodine energy recycling system.

    IODINE FOR ENERGY

    Iodine: The thyroid monitors and controls energy in the blood by monitoring the T4, T3 and T4/T3 ratio of energized iodine containing thyroid hormones in the blood. T4 is the energy storage molecule, T3 is activated thyroid hormone that signals to mobilize more energy by mitochondrial biogenesis. Ratio of T4/T3 is supposed to be 20:1 when your body has full energy supply which it monitors two weeks out. When thyroid notices energy from the iodine system is getting low (drop in T4, elevated T3 then drop in T3, and decreasing ration T4/T4 <20:1), it will either attempt to output more energy in the blood by producing more thyroid hormone T4 & T3 and releasing them into the blood. Normally the thyroid produces and releases 80% T4 and 20% T3 into the blood (T4/T3 ratio of 4:1). The thyroid is like a battery constantly putting more fuel into the blood in the form of T4 which is the primary energy storage molecule. The T3 released by the thyroid is like your base metabolism signal. Your body is not fully topped off on energy until T4/T3 ration is 20:1. T4 can be used by every cell in the body for immediate energy upon conversion to T3 which then serves as a signal to greatly amplify energy even more.

    T4 & T3 thyroid hormones are not just signaling molecules, they are energy storage molecules with energy stored in their iodines. This is the missing piece of the thyroid puzzle that everyone was missing. Once you realize that, thyroid physiology as to what the thyroid is actually doing i.e. energy control, will start to make a lot more sense.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior the Thyroid Whisperer

    CALCIUM FOR ENERGY

    Calcium: The thyroid monitors and calcium levels in the blood which are also indicative of body energy level indirectly via phosphate and magnesium levels. The thyroid monitors and modulates calcium levels in the blood using the two non-iodine containing peptide hormones calcitonin and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Parathyroid hormone is the more important of the two as its how the thyroid tells the rest of the body (bones, kidneys etc) to get more magnesium and phosphate for ATP energy production. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is produced by four small glands near the tips of each of the thyroid wings (lobes) on the back side of the thyroid.

    Location of the parathyroid glands make it easy for the thyroid to send PTH calcium elevating hormone into the bloodstream. When calcium gets too high, the thyroid uses calcitonin to bring the calcium levels back down. High calcium is indicative of high energy, but too high calcium can signal cell death. Low calcium is indicative of low energy. There are over 16,000+ calcium signaling pathways in the body and the thyroid is the master modulator of calcium as the Ca2+ ion. PTH signals bones to dissolve and release calcium (and magnesium). PTH signals kidneys to absorb more calcium (and magnesium). Vitamin D works in the PTH calcium controlled system of the thyroid to also elevate calcium (and magnesium) levels.

    “The calcium backup energy pathway is actually controlling magnesium levels. The connection of calcium to magnesium and magnesium to energy stabilization was another important missing piece of the thyroid puzzle” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    Magnesium is used in 300 of the most ancient energy pathways in the body. Each molecule of ATP (adenosine tripohosphate) requires one molecule of magnesium Mg2+ to stabilize. When the thyroid elevates calcium it’s really elevating magnesium usage to attempt to stabilize energy.

    “The physiology of the thyroid makes sense now where the iodine system with T3 amplifies ATP production and the backup calcium system of the thyroid gets magnesium to stabilize ATP production.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior the Thyroid Whisperer

    IODINE RECYCLING FOR BACKUP ENERGY

    The thyroid needs a constant supply of energized iodine to keep making T4 & T3 and outputting them as energy molecules into the bloodstream. If energized iodine stores get low, the thyroid will attempt to re-energize iodine i.e. tap into an iodine recycling system. The iodine recycling system is very well understood as it involves the import of iodide salt with sodium into the thyroid and the use of the enzyme TPO (thyroid peroxidase) to re-energize the iodine into nascent iodine so that it can be used as organified iodine (iodine attached to carbon) in the thyroid hormones T4 & T3 which contain four and three molecules of energized iodine respectively.

    The problem with iodine recycling from undergized iodide is that TPO creates oxidative damage which if not controlled can actually damage the thyroid. Many thyroid diseases are from iodine recycling gone wrong. Supplementing nascent iodine bypasses iodine recycling system to kickstart the thyroid without risk of oxidative damage.

    Supplementing iodide will not work if your iodine recycling system is shut down from too low anti-oxidants or too high toxicity level.” DrBenGo

    Amazingly, energized nascent iodine itself is an anti-oxidant, so basically it takes energized iodine to restart the iodine recycling system. Iodine as an anti-oxidant to protect it and Iodine as an oxidant to flush out toxins like mercury gunking it up.

    Mercury heavy metal, fluoride toxicity and low selenium nutrient are common problems which throw a monkey wrench in iodine recycling system. When your body has plenty of antioxidants like glutathione, vitamin C and vitamin E, and selenium used in GPO (glutathione peroxidase which uses selenium to help glutathione anti-oxidant) then it can readily recycle iodide salt form (unergized form of iodine) into nascent iodine (energized form of iodine) for use in thyroid hormones. High sodium salt intake can make the iodine recycling system work too much resulting in too much oxidative damage from TPO. Uncontrolled use of the iodine recycling system by the thyroid can result in the thyroid damaging itself. Rather than damage itself when iodine gets low, the thyroid would rather tap into the backup calcium system for more energy first.

    “Once you detox you can use nascent iodine to restart your iodine recycling system safely when you get topped off on anti-oxidants, and then your body can process iodide again.”

    People with thyroid inflammation and thyroid disease cannot typically handle taking iodide form of iodine as they lack the energy and anti-oxidants for the body to use it until they detox more first. .

    CALCIUM IS INDICATIVE OF MAGNESIUM

    Calcium is stored and retrieved from the bones, and calcium in the blood is retained or excreted by the kidneys. Calcium in the blood is monitored and controlled at the thyroid by the two peptide hormones PTH (to elevate calcium) and calcitonin (to reduce calcium).

    The thyroid reads low calcium levels as low energy and higher calcium levels as abundant energy. Too high calcium though becomes toxic so the thyroid has to always keep calcitonin in reserve to keep calcium from getting too high. The main way the thyroid responds using the its calcium system to low energy is by using parathyroid hormone (PTH) which sends the signal out into the blood to the rest of the body to start making changes in the body to facilitate making more energy. PTH signals the bones to start dissolving and to the kidneys to start retaining more calcium where ultimately what the thyroid is trying to do is to get magnesium & phosphate for use in ATP energy production. As kidneys retain more calcium they also retain more magnesium. Even though PTH is thought of as elevating calcium, what it’s really doing is trying to get more magnesium for energy stabilization.

    A common problem I see is that people with low energy, low calcium, and osteoporosis try to take calcium supplements. It never works. They need nascent iodine and magnesium to restore energy not calcium pills. The reason the bones are dissolving is because the thyroid is using PTH to try to get more energy from more magnesium for energy stabilization. The thyroid isn’t just trying to elevate calcium for the fun of it, it’s probably trying to get more magnesium not more calcium. It could get all the calcium it wanted from the bones, but it keeps dissolving the bones trying to get at magnesium! The solution is to take magnesium supplements instead of calcium supplements, and to also take nascent iodine supplements to give the body more energy allowing the thyroid to make more T4 and T3 so that it doesn’t have to try to elevate PTH to get more energy via the backup calcium pathway. For more information read article Calcium: Thyroid & Osteoporosis.

    IMPORTANCE OF VITAMIN D & C

    Vitamin D works with PTH to elevated calcium levels by helping the kidney retain more calcium (and thus magnesium).

    Vitamin D helps the they thyroid backup calcium energy system via the PTH pathway, however unless you are also taking enough Vitamin C , getting enough cholesterol in your diet and also getting enough sunshine, your Vitamin D may not work. Without your vitamin D working your PTH backup calcium energy system of the thyroid may be severely compromised and low energy low calcium symptoms are expected.

    I recommend you get 100% RDA Vitamin D from supplements like a multi-vitamin and then focus on making more naturally through skin exposure to sunshine. If you can’t get exposure to sunshine taking colloidal gold like NeuGold is like liquid sunshine. Vitamin D is made from cholesterol so if you are under the mistaken impression that you should be watching your cholesterol or taking toxic statin drugs your body can’t make enough vitamin D. Vitamin C is required to reduce free iron to activate your Vitamin D, so focus on getting daily Vitamin C to make your vitamin D work. Vitamin D will work synergistically with PTH from the thyroid to help your body retain not just calcium but magnesium. So be taking magnesium. Once thyroid start getting nascent iodine it will start cranking out iodine energy (T4/T3) which will take the stress off the thyroid’s calcium pathway using PTH. As your energy levels go back up your calcium levels will return to normal. And you never had to take a calcium supplement to make it happen.

    IMPORTANCE OF SELENIUM

    Selenium is an important nutrient which is similar to sulphur which is used in detox and in the energy pathways of the thyroid. Iodine used as an oxidant can loosen up toxic heavy metals which can be bound and eliminated by sulphur and selenium. The body uses both inorganic and organic forms of selenium. Selenium is synergistic with silver with anti-mercury and anti-cancer properties. The organic forms are used in the sulfur containing amino acids cysteine and methionine where selenium replaces the sulfur forming special amino acids selenocystein and selenomethionine. These special amino acids are used in critical detox proteins like glutathione antioxidant (which can use sulphur or selenium). Because of this many people think of selenium as an anti-oxidant as its used that way in a protein in the thyroid called GPO (glutathione peroxidase) that protects oxidative damage in the iodine recycling pathway from TPO (thyroid peroxidase).

    However, selenium is much more complicated than that, and like iodine and can be used as both an oxidant and an anti-oxidant in the body.

    “Mainstream medicine over-emphasizes the importance of selenium while underemphasizing the the importance of energized nascent iodine. I put less emphasis on selenium and more emphasis on getting energized nascent iodine with silver and gold. Selenium like silver and gold helps protect from mercury, and selenium is very important when trying to use the iodine recycling pathway which creates oxidative damage. However, I don’t try to use the iodine recycling pathway, as people with thyroid problems can’t handle the oxidative damage when their energy and anti-oxidants are low. Instead of using iodide salt form of iodine for the iodine recycling pathway, I use energized nascent iodine to bypass the iodine recycle pathway. ” DrBenGo Healthwarrior the Thyroid Whisperer

    Selenium works synergistically with silver to protect the thyroid from mercury heavy metal poisoning, and like silver has powerful anti-cancer properties.

    Selenium is important for thyroid health as it both helps the body activate iodine energy & to recycle iodine energy.

    Selenium is used in an enzyme called DI (de-iodinase) [Sounds like Die, I prefer to call it Live] to help convert T4 into T3 which mobilizes iodine energy and signaling to amplify energy via mitochondrial biogenesis. Selenium helps convert T4 the iodine energy storage molecule into T3 the activated thyroid hormone. DI like it sounds Die is used by tissues that might be dying as they need more energy for whatever reason (germ attack toxins cancer etc). If your energy reserves are high (high T4) but your brain is still starving for energy (high TSH indicating brain requsting more energy), and your T3 (activated thyroid hormone) is low, it can sometimes be because you are too low selenium for tissues to activate T4 into T3 as not enough selenium containing DI/Live protein. Mercury toxicity from amalgam filling is a common cause as mercury interferes with selenium. Selenium though not a metal is synergistic with silver for suppressing mercury toxicity. (I use silver, iodine and gold in the iMedDo detox system where I use silver instead of selenium for thyroid health).

    Selenium is the most important in the iodine recycling pathway which where it is used in an enzyme GPO which helps negate the oxidative damage of TPO when the body attempts to recycle undergized iodine (iodide) into energized iodine (nascent iodine) used for making organified iodine in the thyroid hormones T4 & T3.

    Selenium is chemical similar to sulphur, and selenium is used instead of sulphur in the two sulphur containing amino acids (cysteine & methionine) to make special selenium containing amino acids (selenocysteine & selenomethionine) which are used in proteins important for thyroid activation of iodine (DI deiodinase which I prefer to call LIVE) and recycling of iodine (GPO which protects from TPO):

    The thyroid gland contains the highest concentration of selenium of anywhere in the body.

    The reason for high selenium in the thyroid is possibly for the same reason a swordfish has high selenium in its body i.e. to protect from mercury heavy metal. Live evolved to use iodine very early during the switch from prokaryotic to eukaryotic life. Even fish and sharks can get thyroid problems from low iodine, and their energy disrupted from heavy metal toxicity. From fish we see that concentration of selenium can be used to counteract mercury toxicity. However, when we eat a swordfish we can accidentally poison ourself from too high mercury bound to selenium. I find that taking nascent iodine, silver and gold for mercury with emphasis on higher does of silver is more effective for combating mercury than just taking more selenium.

    IMPORTANCE OF ANTI-OXIDANTS FOR THYROID HEALTH

    The more low energy low energized iodine you get, the more your body will instead switch to reliance on iodine recycling and calcium energy backup systems for more energy. The backup iodine system of iodine recycling is very problematic because the process of re-energizing iodine from iodide salt form into energized nascent iodine using TPO (thyroid peroxidase) to create energized organified iodine in thyroid hormones T4 & T3 creates oxidative damage which can actually damage the thyroid when uncontrolled. The selenium containing enzyme GPO (glutathione peroxidase) is the main way the thyroid tries to protect itself from auto-oxidation from iodine recycling, where master anti-oxidant glutathione is important as well as many other anti-oxidants like vitamin E and vitamin C. Turns out the most important anti-oxidant of all here is just nascent iodine itself!

    The revolutionary part of using energized nascent iodine supplementation done right in the iMedDo detox system is that it bypasses the iodine recycling pathway allowing the thyroid to make T4 & T3 naturally without having to risk oxidative damage by recycling iodide.

    IODINE ITSELF IS AN ANTI-OXIDANT

    Iodine connoisseurs want energized nascent iodine not iodide. The reason is to bypass the oxidative damage of the iodide recycling system. If supplementing iodide form of iodine is important that you get anti-oxidants.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    “Iodine, nascent iodine but not iodide, is also an anti-oxidant.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    “The two most important anti-oxidants for thyroid health in my opinion are nascent iodine and vitamin C.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior.

    Even though this AI doesn’t know about nascent iodine, it does note that even regular molecular iodine (energized molecular iodine turns into two molecules of nascent iodine) is 10x more effective than vitamin C and 50x more effective than iodide form of iodine as an anti-oxidant:

    Brave Browser AI on iodine as anti-oxidant.

    The darn AI said it better than I could so I just copy pasted above. Basically how iodine is used as an anti-oxidant in the body is very complicated and even the Thyroid Whisperer is still trying to figure out what is going on . Talk about iodolipids, Nrf2, SOD, Cat are beyond the scope of this article. I’ve been stuck at how iodolipids are used in the body for the past 10 years. Much about iodine is still unknown but at least I figured out enough to figure out how the thyroid works. As more is discovered about iodine more will also be revealed about thyroid physiology as well. Remember iodine is used in every cell and every mitochondria in the body not just in the thyroid is a very broad topic. I hope this article will inspire a new generation of thyroid and iodine scientists to keep at it on this as seems like I’m the only one doing any work and I don’t have much funding. If you would like to donate to my research so I can do even more iodine science please donate to my church iMedDo Foundation.

    SEX SPECIFIC DIFFERENCES IN THYROID ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY

    Men have larger thyroid cartilage than women (Adam’s apple), but the thyroid gland itself looks the same in men and women. But the physiology of the thyroid gland is very different in women.

    If you think of energized iodine as gas, It should be obvious that women can store more iodine than men. Men need iodine for thyroid and detox, whereas women need iodine for thyroid, breast, ovaries and detox.

    WHY DO WOMEN HAVE 7X MORE THYROID PROBLEMS THEN MEN?

    Women have 7x more thyroid problems than men in spite of men and women having very similar thyroids. REFERENCE: Allen E, Fingeret A. Anatomy, Head and Neck, Thyroid. 2025 Jun 23. In: StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2025 Jan–. PMID: 29262169.

    I’m pretty sure it’s because women need approximately 7x more iodine than men.

    My hypothesis is that the difference is that the body of a woman is different than the body of a man and can require up to 6-8x higher energy needs during pregnancy, and 2-4x more energy in general. I see the higher incidence of thyroid problems in women as a reflection of higher energy and thus iodine nutritional requirements of women as compared to men.

    Women give their iodine to their baby during birth, and continue to give iodine to the baby via breast milk. If you pay attention you will notice that many women get thyroid, breast or ovarian cancer right after having a baby now from iodine deficiency where the solution is iodine replenishment.

    Using NeuIodine nascent iodine, where 1 drop is 100% RDA, I recommend 2 drops for men, 4 drops for women and 6 drops for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Note how I’m recommending 4-6x higher iodine dosage form women than the government RDA which is close to the 7x higher estimate needed from higher incidence of thyroid problems in women from low iodine. .

    “The thyroid in men and women is the same, but the body of man and woman is different where the woman’s body needs much more energy, and has much more iodine energy storage capacity and daily needs than that of a man. Because of this, iodine is thought of as the “female nutrient” but it’s also important for men as well as both women and men need it for energy just in different amounts where women need a lot more.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    The thyroid and breast tissue form from the same embryological tissue and both have function of absorbing and storing iodine. Whereas the thyroid put iodine into T4/T3 hormones, the breast packages iodine and sends to the breastmilk. It should be obvious from breasts alone that women have larger iodine storage capacity than men, and it explains why women also require greater iodine intake than men.

    It’s not the thyroid that’s different but that the bodies are different between men and women. The brain energy needs are the same but women need much more iodine energy than men and have much greater iodine storage capacity in their other reproductive tissues than men. The thyroid works the same balancing the energy needs of the brain and the body, but the energy balance is different in women since their bodies have greater energy needs for their reproductive cycles.

    Men need a drop of NeuIodine for their thyroid, and an extra drop for detox. Women need a drop of iodine for their thyroid, and extra iodine for their body: a drop for their breasts, and an extra drop for their uterus, and an extra drop for detox. Pregnant women need an extra iodine for the baby through pregnancy, and extra iodine for the breastmilk while nursing.

    “Women have more thyroid problems than men because they have more severe iodine nutritional deficiencies than men because their body requires higher energy needs than men, so it’s more easy for the body/brain thyroid balance to get off in women. The solution is a sex specific iodine nutritional dosing for women. Give women more energy, and their thyroid balance is restored.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    THYROID SENDS ENERGY TO THE BRAIN

    “The brain gets priority over the body for energy using its own brain hormone to request more energy from the thyroid.”

    The thyroid related brain hormone that requests energy from the thyroid is called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH works in a negative feedback loop between the brain pituitary gland and the thyroid to get more iodine energy (T4, T3) containing thyroid hormones up to the brain. To facilitate getting more energy up to the brain against gravity through the neck, the thyroid can use its calcium modulating to elevate blood pressure in a complex pathway involving bones and kidneys, vitamin D and magnesium using PTH.

    Because the thyroid develops anatomically from splitting off from the tongue, it’s helpful to think of the thyroid blood monitoring of energy functions as the thyroid “tasting the blood”.

    The thyroid tastes the blood (monitors blood), by looking at TSH levels, T4, T3 levels and the ratio of T4/T3 levels, and calcium levels to decided whether it has enough energy to send more energy in the form of T4 into the blood for the brain with elevated blood pressure. Ultimately, having enough energy or not depends on the body’s available stores of iodine for energy and magnesium for energy stabilization.

    HOW DOES THE THYROID WORK

    The thyroid controls metabolism in the entire body by regulating energy. The thyroid has both energy control functions, and protective functions which both rely heavily on iodine nutrient for both energy storage and for signaling, and additionally iodine is germicidal and used for detox. The thyroid’s energy control functions also use calcium as an indicator of magnesium. For protection, the thyroid can serve as a blood filter that uses iodine to kill pathogens in the blood as they attempt to get to the brain. The thyroid in its protective functions works closely with the immune system with the nearby thymus anatomy. The thyroid uses both iodine and calcium modulation to control energy. The thyroid can even control blood pressure which it will elevate to get more energy to brain when needed. To control blood pressure, the thyroid elevates parathyroid hormone levels (PTH) to elevate calcium and magnesium retention in the kidney in a pathway which overlaps with vitamin D. Many people think the brain controls the thyroid, but in my opinion, the thyroid is the ultimate decision maker concerning energy. The thyroid listens to energy requests from the brain and balances them with availability of important energy molecules (iodine, phosphates and magnesium) which it monitors. The brain requests energy from the thyroid using the brain hormone TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) which has a negative feedback loop. The thyroid monitors iodine levels very closely, and takes a more macroscopic zoomed out approach to monitoring magnesium & phosphate stores indirectly by modulating calcium levels.

    “Iodine & calcium are used by the thyroid to make & modulate energy in the body, primarily as T4 energy and ultimately both iodine and calcium control ATP energy where thyroid listens to the brain’s energy requests (TSH) to balance energy output and production with the body’s stores in the bones of phosphates & magnesium necessary for making and stabilizing ATP energy.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    IODINE IS THE PRIMARY ENERGY SYSTEM OF THE THYROID

    The primary energy system of the thyroid uses iodine mineral nutrient for energy storage and control.

    The secret of the thyroid’s primary energy system is that iodine and the iodine containing thyroid hormones are actually under-appreciated energy storage molecules. Low iodine corresponds to low thyroid hormones corresponds to low energy. T4 (thyroxine) which contains four molecules of energized iodine is the primary energy storage molecule of the the thyroid. T3 which contains 3 molecules of iodine is the activated thyroid hormone which the thyroid uses as a signal to mobilize the production of massive amounts more of energy to make lots of ATP energy via mitochondrial biogenesis. Iodine not only stores energy as T4 and signals for more energy as T3, but can be used as an alternative oxygen sensor to assess mitochondrial membrane function and to kill dysfunctional mitochondria and cancer cells. Iodine is also used for germicidal protection and for halogen and heavy metal detox of poisons out of the thyroid and out of the entire body.

    Iodine is an energy storage molecule.

    Iodine mineral nutrient (element I on the periodic table i.e. element #53) is energized by the thyroid to be used as an energy storage atom which used by the body as energy molecule in iodine containing thyroid hormones (T4 & T3).

    Iodine containing thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine), which contains four molecules of iodine, can be thought of as a high energy storage molecule.

    Iodine containing thyroid hormone T3 (triiodothyronein), which contains three molecules of iodine, is also an energy storage molecule, but it is also the active form of thyroid hormone which signals cells anywhere in the head or body to start making more energy.

    The thyroid is derived from the tongue, and like the tongue it can “taste” iodine. The physiology of the thyroid is that it monitors the ratio of T4/T3 thyroid hormone levels which are supposed to be about a ratio of 20:1 (lots of high energy T4 to a little T3 activated) to indicate that the body is topped off on energy for two weeks out.

    “The iodine energy system which uses the iodine containing thyroid hormones appears to be the primary energy system of both the brain and body.”

    The thyroid produces both T4 and T3 in a ratio of 80% T4 (high energy storage molecules) and 20% T3 (active thyroid hormone) i.e. T4/T3 at an approximately 4x ratio.

    What the thyroid does is package energized nascent iodine as organified iodine (iodine attached to carbons in the iodine containing thyroid hormones) and then sends the T4 & T3 energy storage molecules out into the blood to be used by whichever tissues in either head or body that needs them.

    The brain gets energy priority using its own energy requesting brain hormone TSH.

    When the brain is hungry for more energy it elevates TSH levels which the thyroid decodes to mean that the brain is requesting more energy.

    The thyroid will then check energy levels (looking at T4 & T3 levels and their ratio T4/T3) to make sure it has enough energy to send to the brain or not.

    Chronically high TSH levels mean that your are chronically low energy which is typically because your body is low iodine nutrient. Not enough iodine, not enough energy. The solution is just to take more energized nascent iodine.

    Low TSH levels is a good thing as means that your brain is not requesting energy because it has enough energy, so its not sending the signal to the thyroid to request more energy.

    IODINE RECYCLING

    When you are healthy your body can actually recycle iodine by energizing and re-energizing iodide into nascent iodine.

    The thyroid has a way to attempt to recycle iodine by using the enzyme TPO (thyroid peroxidase) to create oxidative damage to re-energize iodide (unergized form of iodine) into nascent iodine that can be stored as organified iodine in thyroid hormones T4 or T3. To get iodide (I [which has one additional electron than nascent iodine I0]) into the thyroid it uses a sodium-iodide symporter which requires your blood to have some sodium in it to allow the iodide inside the thyroid. The blood normally has a higher potassium to sodium ratio and elevated sodium levels which many Americans have from too much sodium salt (sodium chloride) in their diet, and not enough potassium salt (potassium chloride) will cause the thyroid to attempt to use its iodine recycling mechanism to much and potentially damage itself from too much oxidative damage from TPO. This is not a problem under normal circumstances when you have plenty of anti-oxidants like vitamin C and glutathione, but in an energy starved situation and high toxin environment anti-oxidant stores are depleted, and the iodine recycling system can start pumping out oxidative damage and the thyroid can actually damage itself.

    The thyroid has a way to attempt to recycle iodine but the pathway is easily disrupted by toxins and exacerbated by high sodium.

    IODINE BURN

    Iodine like vitamin C is a daily nutrient. The body burns through iodine daily because every cell in the human body uses iodine for energy. In addition to being used for energy, iodine is used by the body as an alternative to oxygen that is burned for detox. Iodine flushes out halogens like fluoride by chemical similarity, and energized iodine loosens up heavy metals by stripping them of electrons so that they can be solubilized and eliminated. Iodine like oxygen can oxidize any element on the periodic table and is thus used by the body to eliminate any toxin. Iodine energy is used up not only to stimulated mitochondrial biogenesis to make massive amounts more ATP energy, but iodine is used to detox & monitor the integrity of mitochondrial membranes to keep energy flowing, or to destroy mitochondrial that are dysfunctional which is why iodine is also natively anti-cancer. Unenergized iodine, or energy depleted iodine after usage (iodide) is lost every day in the urine. Taking unenergized salt form of iodine (iodide) is much less effective than taking energized nascent iodine. Many people get their daily iodine from synthetic thyroid hormone drug, from natural desiccated thyroid hormone from animal, or from a health supplement like Lugol’s iodine which contains both molecular iodine and iodide. The most effective iodine is energized nascent iodine, and the best nascent iodine is NeuIodine which contains not iodide, and where nascent iodine is as effective in microgram doses to molecular and iodide forms in milligram doses, making dose ramping much more safe and effective with nascent iodine.

    CALCIUM IS THE SECONDARY ENERGY SYSTEM OF THE THYROID

    The secondary energy system of the thyroid uses calcium mineral nutrient for energy control.

    The secret of the thyroid’s secondary energy system using calcium is that high calcium corresponds to high energy and low calcium corresponds to low energy.

    And the big secret that it took me as a biochemist & biophysicist many years to to figure out is that the calcium levels are actually just a sensor for magnesium levels.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    Low calcium corresponds to low energy which corresponds to low magnesium. The secret was noticing that each molecule of ATP energy produced in the body requires 1 molecule of magnesium ion to stabilize. The thyroid controls calcium in the blood to assess and predict and control the bone stores of phosphates and magnesium necessary for ATP energy production.

    The thyroid uses both primary and secondary energy systems using iodine and calcium in tandem to control energy.

    Many scientists have been confused for many years trying to figure out the connection between iodine and calcium energy, and I think I’m the first to figure it out making me possibly the world expert on thyroid physiology. The connection is that iodine energy is stored as T4. This is not commonly known as most doctors and scientists do not realize that iodine itself can be a storage molecule, and I only know because I’ve spent a decade studying iodine. The thyroid outputs 80% T4 and 20% T3 into the blood which circulate where the T4 energy molecule is available as an energy source for any tissue receiving blood supply. When tissues in the body need more energy, they get some immediately by converting T4 into T3 which sets off an energy amplification cascade as T3 itself signals for mitochondrial biogenesis to greatly amplify production of more ATP energy. The connection between iodine energy and calcium energy system is because the thyroid also modulates calcium levels where it interprets high calcium as high energy and low calcium as low energy. When energy levels are low (thyroid sees low T4 in blood) or when a lot of tissues at once are requesting iodine energy amplification cascade (thyroid sees elevated T3 levels in blood) then thyroid knows it’s going to need a lot of magnesium to stabilize all that ATP production. To facilitate the thyroid at parathyroid uses PTH (parathyroid hormone) to elevate calcium levels where PTH is the signal to the bones to release more calcium (and thus release more magnesium and phosphates for ATP production and stabilization). Each molecule of ATP produced requires an atom of magnesium to stabilize. So ultimately, the iodine energy system and the calcium system overlap at ATP energy. Whereas iodine can be used by the thyroid to store energy or to mobilize more ATP energy production, calcium levels are used by the thyroid make sure there are adequate magnesium and phosphates released from the bones to make and stabilize all that ATP energy.

    Calcium is not an energy storage molecule, but it’s used by the thyroid to modulate energy anyway.

    Calcium levels in the blood are “tasted” by the thyroid “tongue” to see if they are high or low. Ultimately calcium levels are indicative of bone stores of phosphates and magnesium which are used to make ATP. Each molecule of ATP requires one magnesium ion (Mg2+) to stabilize the phosphate bond energy of the ATP.

    What the thyroid is really doing is using calcium as a secondary sensor to keep an eye on magnesium and phosphate levels in the bones and blood which can be used to make ATP energy molecule.

    Calcium, though not an energy molecule itself, is used by the thyroid to control the ATP (phosphate bond) energy levels of the body.

    High calcium levels are interpreted as the body has enough energy.

    The thyroid can control calcium levels using the non-iodine thyroid hormone the peptide hormone called calcitonin. High calcium levels let the thyroid know that the body has plenty of energy. But if calcium levels get too high it signals cell death, so the thyroid uses calcitonin to keep keep calcium levels even in high energy situations from getting too high.

    Low calcium levels are interpreted as the body is low energy, and is the signal to the thyroid to request more energy.

    The thyroid is shaped like a butterfly where the “wings” of the thyroid are situated on top of arteries and veins in the neck to allow the part of it called the parathyroid to sense calcium levels in the blood. When the thyroid senses low calcium in the blood it interprets that to mean that the body is low energy. The thyroid will make more T4 and T3 to send energy out into the blood if it can, but if it’s low iodine (which will reflect in low T4, and low T3, and low T4/T3 ratio), then the thyroid will try to make more energy using the backup energy system which uses calcium.

    The way the thyroid tries to make more energy using the calcium system is by using the non-iodine thyroid hormone called parathyroid hormone PTH.

    The way PTH works is that it sends the signal to the bones to start dissolving which can cause osteoporosis so that the body can get more magnesium and phosphates stored in the bones to be used to make more ATP energy.

    PTH ultimately elevates calcium levels, but what it’s really doing is dissolving bones to try to get more magnesium to solve an energy crisis. For more information read article Calcium: Thyroid & Osteoporosis.

    Vitamin D is also important downstream in the PTH thyroid energy pathway as Vitamin D is involved in letting the kidney know to retain more calcium (magnesium is what it really wants) so that the magnesium can be used for energy stabilization of ATP. Writing the definitive article on Vitamin D nutrition was my crowning achievement in 2025 as calcium and vitamin D and how they related to iodine and thyroid function is not an easy topic.

    .

    What you need to know in a nutshell is that just make sure you are getting your 100% vitamin D in your multivitamin, and then try to make more vitamin D from sunshine on your skin. The most important thing about vitamin D I discovered is that you need your daily vitamin C to make your Vitamin D work. Vitamin C keeps free iron in the body reduced for a hydroxylase enzyme that is required to activate Vitamin D which uses three different activations in the skin, the liver and the kidney where it then assists the kidney mitochondria in making more energy and retaining more calcium (and thus magnesium) needed for energy stabilization.

    THYROID HORMONES

    The thyroid uses, energizes, and recycles iodine energy in the form of iodine containing thyroid hormones which is it sends out into the blood as energy reserves and signals to mobilize more energy. The thyroid listens to and responds to energy requests from the brain, and monitors and controls energy in the body by monitoring and modulating calcium levels. The brain requests more energy from the thyroid using a negative feedback loop using the brain hormone TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). The thyroid puts more energy into the blood using iodine containing thyroid hormones T4 and T3 which contain energized iodine where T4 (thyroxine) is the energy storage molecule that contains 4 molecules of iodine, and T3 (tri-iodothreonine) is the activated thyroid hormone which is a signal to cells to mobilize and amplify more ATP (adenosine-tri-phosphate) energy via mitochondrial biogenesis. The thyroid and parathyroid also use two non-iodine containing hormones to regulate calcium levels in the blood which allow the thyroid to monitor and control body energy. Calcium levels are used by the thyroid to assess and control the body’s energy reserve supply of phosphates and magnesium in the bones which are needed to make and stabilize ATP energy. The two calcium regulating peptide hormones are PTH (parathyroid hormone) which makes calcium go up, and calcitonin which makes calcium go down.

    The thyroid uses four hormones, two iodine containing ones (T4 & T3), and two which regulated calcium (PTH & calcitonin). When people first test their “thyroid hormone” they actually test the brain hormone TSH which is the signal from the brain to the thyroid requesting more energy. High TSH means low brain energy and if you then also test T4 and T3 you will note that T4 levels will be low (low energy), and ratio of T4/T3 will be low (low energy), T3 might also be low (low energy or high i.e. low energy but body is trying to elevate T3 to make more energy), and if you test PTH (not typically tested) you will see it’s high (meaning low energy, as PTH is the signal from the thyroid to body to dissolve bones to elevate calcium (to get more phosphates and magnesium for ATP energy).

    SUMMARY OF THYROID HORMONES

    Thyroid uses four different hormones, two of which use iodine (T4 & T3) and two of which modulate calcium (PTH & calcitonin). But when people test their thyroid, they initially test for the brain hormone thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

    T4, T3, PTH & calcitonin are the hormones the thyroid actually uses to modulate energy.

    TSH is the hormone that the brain uses to request more energy from the thyroid.

    SUMMARY OF HOW THE THYROID WORKS

    The way the thyroid works is to balance energy needs of the head above the neck with energy needs of the body below the neck. The way it does that is by using primarily the iodine containing thyroid hormones to communicate with the brain for its energy needs versus using the calcium modulating thyroid hormones to communicate with the body for its energy needs.

    THYROID PROBLEMS AND HOW TO FIX THEM

    GOITER

    In the old days, the main thyroid problem was goiter (swollen thyroid) which was easily fixed in most cases by just adding iodine as iodide into the salt (iodized salt). Iodide is the unenergized form of iodine that the thyroid has to import using sodium and re-energize/recycle using TPO (thyroid peroxidase). Under normal circumstances getting iodine from iodide was not a problem, but when your thyroid is stressed out from toxins, the iodine recycling mechanism breaks down when your get low in anti-oxidants and you might need energized nascent iodine like NeuIodine (used in a system iMedDo detox system) to jumpstart your thyroid and then it will be able to process iodide again. As long as you are getting plenty of anti-oxidants like your daily vitamin C so that your iron and vitamin D will work, then your thyroid will be able to process iodide form again. Goiter is pretty rare these days but its incidence is increasing because of toxins. In most all cases fixing goiter is easy just get more energized nascent iodine. By using nascent iodine, the thyroid works less hard as doesn’t have to create oxidative damage from using TPO from iodide recycling giving it a chance to heal with inflammation and swelling going down and goiter going away.

    HYPOTHYROIDISM VERSUS HYPERTHYROIDISM

    There are two thyroid problems “hypo” (low) versus “hyper” (high) thyroid known as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. In part two I will explain how they are classified based on testing. There are also two special subtypes Hashimoto’s and Grave’s disease.

    Hashimoto’s is a subtype of hypothyroidism, and Graves disease is a subtype of Hyperthyroidism. So really we have four different things to talk about:

    1. Hypothyroidism (basic).
    2. Hypothyroidism (fancy) Hashimoto’s
    3. Hyperthyroidism (basic).
    4. Hyperthyroidism (fancy) Grave’s Disease

    All four types of hypo versus hyperthyroidism result in low energy.

    Fancy thyroid problems Hashimoto’s and Graves on top of energy problems may have other things going on like toxicity, genetic and auto-immune problems and can be a little more tricky.

    Hypothyroidism is typically associated with low iodine energy system of the thyroid whereas Hyperthyroidism is typically associated with dysfunction in the calcium energy system of the thyroid.

    Many genetic and auto-immune problems are actually toxicity problems. Many people with fancy thyroid problems (Hashimoto’s and Graves) have other toxins (most commonly mercury heavy metal from dental amalgam) and need special attention.

    HYPOTHYROIDISM

    Basic hypothyroidism is low energy from low iodine nutrition and is very easy to fix, just take more energized iodine.

    There are four ways to get energized iodine:

    1. Synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine contains energized organified iodine. Synthetic thyroid hormone is a synthetic T4 and contains four molecules of iodine. When your thyroid is outputting low amounts of T4 into the blood, you can compensate by taking synthetic T4 daily.
    2. Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT) is premade thyroid hormone (T4 and T3) from pig thyroid. This is the most popular way for Christians Hamites of Germanic Carthagenian Egyptian ancestry. Some religious like Judaism and Islam won’t do NDT because of their religious restrictions on eating pork.
    3. Iodine from diet. Sea vegetables, high fat milk, liver.
    4. Iodine supplementation. There is a spectrum of iodine supplementation from iodide to Lugol’s to nascent iodine to the best which is nascent iodine used in a system.

    Because of fluoride and other toxins in the food, air and water, it’s almost impossible to get enough iodine in the diet, and it’s estimate that 96% of Americans are iodine deficient. The result is a preponderance of basic hypothyroidism. Many people have subclinical hypothyroidism from low iodine and don’t even realize it. Mainstream medicine promotes #1 taking synthetic thyroid hormones whereas alternative medicine promotes getting iodine from natural sources (#2 or #3) or from iodine supplementation #4. People are so iodine deficient that now synthetic thyroid hormone is the second most commonly prescribed drug in the country. If you are a member of a religion without food restrictions like Christianity then NDT and liverwurst is an option for you. Mammals concentrate iodine in milk, and you will note that pregnant women craving ice cream (high fat milk) is an iodine nutrient craving. To avoid religious issues most people promote getting iodine in diet naturally from sea vegetables like seaweed. My favorite way to make sure I get enough iodine daily is from iodine supplementation. Note that iodide is not energized iodine, but if you take iodide and your iodine recycling system works where your thyroid is working normally and you have plenty of anti-oxidants, then your body can naturually re-energize iodide from diet or supplementation for making energized iodine. This can work for people with only subclinal or mild hypothyroidism, but for more advance or fancy hypothyroidism taking iodide is not a good idea as it can exacerbate thyroid inflammation from iodine recycling from iodide. Lugol’s solution is a popular way to supplement iodine which has been around since the mid-1800’s. Lugol’s is a combination of molecular iodine and iodide in water solvent. Lugol’s solution was improved over in the early 20th century with the invention of nascent iodine, and nascent iodine was improved upon in 2015 with the invention of the iMedDo Detox System which uses NeuIodine, NeuSilver & NeuGold in a system.

    “I’m a nascent iodine expert, and my preference is to supplement energized nascent iodine directly in a system using NeuIodine, NeuSilver, and NeuGold.

    If you don’t have thyroid disease, you can likely just supplement iodide, but by the time you already have hypothyroidism you increasingly cannot use the iodine recycling system, and need to get supplements without iodide. Lugol’s solution contains iodide, and Nascent iodine like NeuIodine does not. Nascent iodine is better than Lugol’s which is better than iodide for iodine supplementation.

    NEUIODINE NASCENT IODINE IS GENERATIONS BEYOND LUGOL’S SOLUTION

    NeuIodine nascent iodine used in the iMedDo detox system is many generations ahead of Lugol’s solution for the following seven reasons:

    1. Correct Form. Nascent iodine is energized molecular iodine in equilibrium with nascent iodine. Nascent iodine is effective in microgram doses that take milligram doses of Lugol’s to achieve.
    2. No Iodide. Unlike Lugol’s which contains iodide (molecular iodine and iodide in water solvent), Nascent iodine contains no iodide (energized molecular iodine no iodide in alcohol solvent).
    3. Correct Solvent: Molecular iodine is fat soluble not water soluble. In Lugol’s the iodide is used to force the solubility of the molecular iodine into water where it doesn’t want to be. In nascent iodine, energized molecular iodine in equilibrium with nascent iodine chemical species is fat soluble and stored in food grade alcohol solvent instead of water.
    4. Correct Usage Instructions: Because of the fat solubility of nascent iodine it can be absorbed on the skin bypassing old iodine usage instructions requiring it to be taken with food or on an empty stomach. Even people with religious restrictions against alcohol can still use NeuIodine as when put on skin the iodine absorbs and the alcohol evaporates away.
    5. Correct Dosing: Sex specific dosing for men and women. Men work up to 2 drops a day, women 4 and preganant and breastfeeding women 6 drops of NeuIodine with dose ramping staring at one drop (100% RDA) and increasing by 1 drop a week.
    6. Safety Features Built in for protection against Mercury. NeuIodine as a health supplement is intended for internal ingestion but because of its fat solubility it can be absorbed through the skin. Use by skin absorption is a critical safety feature for people with mercury dental amalgam fillings as putting iodine in the mouth is a bad idea as iodine detoxes mercury on contact and can detox mercury too fast causing herx reactions. By using NeuIodine it come with many additional safety features against heavy metal poisoning (correct usage, correct dosing) and most importantly used in a system.
    7. Use in a System with Silver & Gold. The most important difference between the iMedDo detox system which uses NeuIodine and other nascent iodine’s is that NeuIodine is used in a system with colloidal silver NeuSilver and colloidal gold NeuGold. Colloidal silver and gold are used for their anti-inflammatory properties of protecting the body and brain from toxins that the energized iodine flushes out allowing body to iodine replenish and detox simultaneiously and safely with maximum protection from heavy metals mercury and lead. Silver is the antidote to mercury and gold is the antidote to lead poisoning.

    Taking unenergized iodine (iodide) form may or may not work depending on your toxin level, whereas taking nascent iodine used in a system with colloidal silver & gold (iMedDo detox system) will most always work as uses energized nascent iodine, dose ramping and detox.

    Low energy from hypothyroidism typically equates to high TSH, and low T4, T3 and T4/T3 ratio and high PTH.

    Just talking energized iodine will fix basic hypothyroidism (iodine deficiency) as will restore T4, T3, and T4/T3 ratio, and high TSH levels will go back down as brain no longer needs to request energy from the thyroid. PTH levels should go down too as the thyroid no longer needs to rely on the back up calcium energy pathway so much since the main iodine energy pathway is restored. If PTH levels don’t go down, also try taking magnesium so that your body can stabilize the ATP energy it is making now that you have more iodine for thyroid energy. Iodine like vitamin C is a daily nutrient. By taking NeuIodine, NeuSilver & NeuGold daily you can be in a constant state of topped off energy and in a constant state of detox.

    HASHIMOTO’S HYPOTHYROIDISM

    Fancy hypothyroidism where there is also an auto-immune or genetic component to the low energy is called Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism.

    If you have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis it’s likely that you are already taking iodine in drug form using synthetic thyroid hormone like levothyroixine, but you still feel low energy and are trying to find something that will help.

    What will not help with Hashimoto’s is taking iodide form of iodine.

    What will help is if there is an underlying toxicity component to the Hashimoto’s then detox will help.

    The way to detox is to supplement energized nascent iodine to bypass the inflammation generating iodine recycling pathway and to detox mercury and lead and other heavy metals which might be damaging the thyroid and exacerbating its low functioning.

    Sometime auto-immune thyroid problems are caused by halogens like fluorine and bromine which can imitate iodine in thyroid hormones. The body will recognize the defective thyroid hormones where fluorine or bromine halogen is substituted for an iodine in T4 or T3 which contain 4 and 3 molecules of iodine respectively.

    Low energy from hypothyroidism typically equates to high TSH, and low T4, T3 and T4/T3 ratio and high PTH

    But with Hashimoto’s disease, it is said by mainstream medicine to be caused by autoimmune disease or genetic factors. If that is truly the case then there is no cure and you might have to accept a lifetime of managed treatment.

    But oftentimes, the underlying cause is actually a toxin (like fluoride or mercury) or some type of infection (parasite, infection, mold, virus etc) in which case a cure is very possible once you detox.

    In the case of fluoride or bromine halogen poisoning, it can mimic iodine where thyroid makes autoimmune response against faultily made T4 and T3 (were one of the four or three iodines might be replaced with a fluorine atom instead for example). Once you detox the halogens by getting more iodine, then the autoimmune response might go away and a cure possible.

    The other most common cause of fancy hypothyroidism hashimoto’s is from mercury heavy metal poisoning.

    Many people have thyroid problems simply from the mercury heavy metal in their neck which has leaked from their dental amalgam fillings. If you have mercury poisoning you need custom silver dosage, read this article on Mercury detox and contact me for assistance.

    If you have mercury heavy metal poisoning or some kind of halogen or heavy metal as the underlying cause of the Hashimoto’s, a cure is possible with detox. If you have Hashimoto’s read article below & contact me first so we can discuss more what is right for you before using the iMedDo Detox System can schedule appointment for free phone call at link iMedDo.club/book.

    HYPERTHYROIDISM: CHECK YOUR CALCIUM SYSTEM

    Both hypo and hyperthyroidism can cause symptoms of low energy, but when it’s hyperthyroidism it’s a little less straight forward as it might involve the calcium system rather than the iodine energy system.

    Low energy from hyperthyroidism typically equates to low TSH (your brain is not requesting more energy with basic interpretation is that you have enough T4 energy storage molecule meaning you have enough iodine energy).

    So if you have enough iodine energy why do you still feel so tired?

    It’s most likely that there is a problem with the calcium side of the thyroid function where perhaps you have an energy stabilization problem, or it could be a nutritional deficiency (selenium, vitamin D, magnesium), or a toxicity issue (mercury, fluoride, vaccines), or could be something else (other auto-immune or genetic or pituitary tumor).

    1. Assuming your brain is working correctly, low TSH means your brain is not requesting energy i.e. it’s getting enough energy. But clearly it isn’t as you still feel tired! It could be your body feels tired because your secondary calcium based energy system is not working correctly. You might have elevated PTH (parathyroid hormone) with the thyroid trying to elevate calcium levels to get more energy from the calcium system which is most likely that you are either magnesium deficient or vitamin D deficient. Magnesium is needed to stabilize ATP energy. You iodine energy system might be working fine (low TSH, high T4 (lots of iodine energy reserves), good T4/T3 ratio), but your calcium system might be showing signs of stress (high PTH i.e. hyperthyroid in PTH (parathyroid hormone). Vitamin D works with PTH to help your body absorb more calcium and magnesium in the kidneys (your thyroid is trying to use the calcium system to get more magnesium). Thyroid tries to get it from the bones (might start causing osteoporosis as bones dissolve trying to get more magnesium) using elevated PTH. And body tries to use Vitamin D to help absorb more calcium and magnesium (it’s the magnesium it really wants) from the urine in the kidneys.

    The solution is easy, your body just needs more magnesium. The key is to get chelated magnesium (magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate), not magnesium oxide.

    If you are craving chocolate that is also a sign you need more magnesium.

    To learn more about how the backup calcium system works, and how vitamin D and C work together where ultimately it’s a magnesium energy stabilization problem read these:

    2. It could be a selenium deficiency. Selenium is used in an enzyme the converts T4 to T3. So even though it seems like you have enough iodine (high T4 iodine storage molecule), your tissues might still actually be starving for energy as they are unable to convert T4 to T3 to mobilize more energy as it requires a selenoprotein.

    Selenium deficiency is exacerbated by Mercury heavy metal toxicity, so whether you have hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism be sure to check your mouth for mercury amalgam.

    3. Your brain could be lying to you. If your TSH levels are low (indicating your brain doesn’t want more energy), but you still feel tired, it could be a brain problem like a pituitary tumor. Maybe your brain does want energy but is failing to send the signal to your thyroid to ask for more energy. In this case you might not have a thyroid problem but rather a brain problem so seek further medical assistance. If you have already done testing (I don’t do testing), and want me to take a look and give you my religious advice on what’s going on then contact me iMedDo.club/book, I’m happy to help. You may or may not benefit from taking iodine (you don’t need it if your TSH levels are low and your brain is working fine), or your might need it if you have a brain tumor as iodine, silver and gold are a triple anti-cancer

    4. It could be an auto-immune or genetic thing not related to iodine or detox in which case seek mainstream medical assistance. Hyperthyroidism is treated in mainstream medicine by killing your thyroid via drugs or radiation or surgically removing it to give you Hypothyroidism instead where without a thyroid you will need to constantly take iodine in some form such as synthetic thyroid hormone (levothyroxine for pre-energized iodine) or as NDT (natural desiccated thyroid) for pre-energized iodine from animal (pig). At that point you can benefit from taking the iMedDo detox system for additional natural source of iodine but without a thyroid you use lower dose its for other tissues. For women especially, the breast tissue is similar to thyroid tissue and can benefit from getting energized nascent iodine even without a thyroid after thyroidectomy from hyperthyroidism.

    5. Fluoride Toxicity. If you have fluoride in your system it can shut down both sides of the thyroid energy system interfering with both iodine (iodine system) and with calcium (fluoride binds insolubly with calcium). The calcium disruption might explain the low energy in spite of low TSH levels commonly found with hyperthyroidism. Fluoride can also disrupt the kidneys resulting in low energy and a variety of other hormones as well.

    6. It could be vaccinosis (disease caused by vaccine). If you got a vaccine you likely have aluminum or mercury poisoning, and if you got covid vaccines or especially multiple covid vaccines, it could be much worse.

    Unlike Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism is a bit more tricky to figure out what is going on and you will like need assistance.

    Detox might work especially if the underlying problem is a blockage in the calcium energy system from fluoride or aluminum or lead or other toxins. But oftentimes for hyperthyroidism you do not need more iodine and detox and instead need magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin C to make your vitamin D work. In the winter NeuGold colloidal gold is like liquid sunshine and will also help your vitamin D work. When your thyroid PTH and Vitamin D work together to increase your magnesium (getting magnesium from bones and readsorbing more magnesium from the kidneys), and when your kidney are not blocked by fluoride, your body can stabilize ATP energy it makes from iodine energy, and your hyperthyroidism might go away. But if it doesn’t get assistance. Worse case scenario you will have to let mainstream medicine kill and remove your thyroid and then take iodine in some premade thyroid form (synthetic thyroid hormone or NDT). If you need help and want to talk contact me iMedDo.club/book.

    HYPERTHYROIDISM: GRAVE’S DISEASE

    Even the Thyroid Whisperer can’t fix Grave’s disease. Once your hyperthyroidism has advanced beyond a stage where detox or nutrient replenishment can hope to repair it, then you will likely need to have your thyroid removed and then be put on synthetic thyroid hormone treatment management. But once you do that then contact me and I can help with ongoing iodine nutrition and detox.

    THYROID CANCER

    Iodine is natively anti-cancer so if you have thyroid cancer, the most likely scenarios are that you either ran out of iodine (iodine deficiency, will look like severe hypothyroidism), or that your thyroid has been overwhelmed with some pathogen which is oftentimes secondary to something obvious like mercury heavy metal poison from dental amalgam fillings.

    iMedDo detox system with is a triple anti-cancer as all three nascent iodine, colloidal silver & colloidal gold are anti-cancer and DrBenGo Healthwarrior has two degrees from MD Anderson Cancer Center.

    “Radiation and chemo depletes the body of energy and can even cause cancer; iodine on the other hand protects from radiation and cancer. Rather than the mainstream cut and burn approach, I approach cancer from a nutrient and energy replenishment standpoint. “ DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    “I originally got into iodine nutrition as the cure for breast cancer.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    “Iodine is uniquely amazing as it can both promote energy (mitochondrial biogenesis) and detect and destroy dysfunctional mitochondria (cancer).” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    “Iodine kills cancer by serving as an alternative final electron acceptor to oxygen on the mitochondrial electron transport chain where iodine can detect and energetically destroy cancer cells which have switched from aerobic to anerobic respiration. “ DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    PART TWO: WHAT MAINSTREAM DOCTORS ARE SAYING (& FAILING TO SAY) ABOUT THE THYROID

    REVIEW OF VERY WELL THYROID MAGAZINE

    I was at my local grocery store, and as I was checking out I saw this magazine about the thyroid. It’s a 96 page long compilation of 23 different articles which is a pretty good summary of the mainstream medicine position on the thyroid.

    Because of the large number of articles in the magazine, with a wide variety of authors and different mainstream medical professionals (predominantlly MD type doctors) reviewing each article, I think we can all agree i.e. understand, that this magazine presents a pretty good idea of what mainstream medicine is saying to the public about the thyroid.

    REVIEW OF VERY WELL UNDERSTANDING YOUR THYROID MAGAZINE

    After reading the magazine, I give it 3.2/5 stars overall but only 2.5/5 stars for content/accuracy.

    THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY

    Marketing: 5/5 stars, Style Points: 5/5 stars, Content: 3/5 stars, Accuracy 2/5 stars, Demonic stuff 1/5 stars.

    I think this magazine did a great job on marketing. I love the cover art enough that I bought it so it was definitely effective at catching my attention. Opening the cover I was pleasantly surprised by a very beautiful picture of the thyroid depicted as a jigg-saw puzzle. I really like this image as it’s exactly how I’ve been thinking about the thyroid & as the thyroid whisperer I’ve even figured out over half of those missing pieces.

    As the Thyroid Whisperer, I find the missing puzzle pieces.

    The magazine does a very good job identifying and marketing to its target audience women, as it gets across in the articles very well the reality of women having 4-10x more thyroid problems than men, and all the photos in the magazine are of women so I’m likely the only man who bought the magazine.

    I like the style of the magazine how it attempts to present a large amount of different articles on a variety of topics with an attempt to provide medical reviewers for each article in hopes that the articles will be informative, diverse and accurate.

    Unfortunately, the magazine failed as the content could have been better, and the accuracy on thyroid important topics of detox, modalities and nutrition fell flat ending in puff pieces on yoga and eating fiber by the end. The magazine started strong, turned into propaganda by the middle and by the end was just flat wrong. Also it was not just wrong but some of the stuff in the magazine was stealthily demonic, and for that I gave them low rating for some secret death contracts, death subliminal messaging and promotion of Luciferian radioactive iodine.

    Overall though, the magazine was a combination of good and bad, and I was able to take the good and leave the bad and overall enjoyed the magazine so 3.2/5 stars is my final rating though for content accuracy I only give it a 2.5/5 stars.

    MAINSTREAM TESTING LEVELS VERY INFORMATIVE

    The most informative and interesting thing in the magazine to me was a confirmation on how mainstream medicine uses tests to diagnose hypo versus hyperthyroidism.

    The first article says that:

    Hypothyroidism is associated with TSH > 4.0 mIU/L and T4 < 5.0 mIU/L

    Hyperthyroidism is associated with TSH <0.4 mIU/L and T4 >11.0 mIU/L and blood levels of T3 may also be tested to confirm a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism if T3 >200 ng/dL,

    and the fourth article Testing, Testing, Testing says:

    TSH levels 4.5 to 10 mU/L = subclinical low thyroid function

    TSH 10 mU/L or higher = symptomatic low thyroid function

    TSH 0.1 to 0.4 mU/L = subclinical overactive thyroid function

    TSH 0.1 to mU/L and lower = symptomatic overactive thyroid function.

    and also says:

    Normal TSH + normal T4 = normal thyroid function

    High TSH + normal T4 = you may have higher risk of developing an underactive thyroid

    Low TSH + high T4 = overactive thyroid

    High TSH + low T4 = underactive thyroid

    Low TSH + low T4 = low thyroid function due to another problem, such as pituitary gland dysfunction Looking at TSH alongside T3 test results can also help with diagnosis:

    Low T3 + high TSH = low thyroid

    High T3 + low TSH = overactive thyroid

    TPOAb tests [thyroid peroxidase antibody tests] can help confirm Hashimoto’s disease [special hyopthyroidism] if TSH is high and T4 is low.

    TRAb tests [TSH receptor antibody] help diagnose Grave’s disease, confirm a diagnosis of toxic multinodular goiter, or, in late pregnancy, check a baby’ls risk of Grave’s disease or an overactive thyroid.

    The missing puzzle piece is when people test their “thyroid hormone” they are usually first testing TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) which is actually a brain hormone. Once you realize that TSH is how the brain requests energy from the thyroid then it makes sense that high TSH means low energy (brain is requesting more energy), and low TSH means abundant energy (brain is not requesting more energy).

    With that in mind, looking at these thyroid test levels gets a lot easier where you just have to identify where is high TSH, where is low TSH and where is normal TSH. The magazine first article is saying that high TSH/low energy/hypothyroidism is at TSH>4 miU/L and that low TSH/too much energy/hyperthyroidism is at TSH<0.4 miU/L. This implies that the normal range of TSH is somewhere between 0.4 to 4 miU/L. But the testing article which uses units mU/L (which is same I assume as miU/L) clarifies that they consider

    TSH 10 mU/L or higher = symptomatic low thyroid function

    i.e. TSH > 10 mU/L = hypothyroidism (not TSH > 4 miU/L).

    TSH 0.1 to mU/L and lower = symptomatic overactive thyroid function.

    i.e. TSH<0.1 = hyperthyroidism

    Which implies that TSH normal range is somewhere between 0.1 to 10 mU/L which is a much wider range than the first article 0.4 to 4 mIU/L (assuming mIU/L[milli-international units per Liter] = mU/L [milliunits per Liter])

    What I like is that the testing testing testing article establishes a range for subclinical hypothyroidism as these people even though they don’t even technically have a thyroid problem can all still benefit from iodine supplementation and detox.

    TSH levels 4.5 to 10 mU/L = subclinical low thyroid function

    People are being told conflicting information. On one hand that when your TSH is 0.1 to 10 mU/L you are in the normal range, or more narrow 0.4-4 is normal range, but on the other hand when you are 4.5 to 10 you are in the subclinical low thyroid function. Putting together this conflicting information TSH 0.1-10 is normal, but within that normal 0.4 to 4 is normal normal, and TSH 4.5 to 10 is subclinical hypothyroidism.

    Mainstream medicine is saying in a very squirrelly way that when your TSH is 4-10 or at least 4.5-10 that even though you are normal that you might be at higher risk of hypothyroidsim. This slightly elevated TSH level just means your brain is within its normal parameters of asking the thyroid for more energy.

    Translating what I learned about testing from the magazine here’s my recommendations on nascent iodine supplementation:

    People with TSH <0.1 mU/L (hyperthyroidism) should not supplement nascent iodine.

    People with TSH 0.1-0.4 mU/L (less severe hyperthyroidism) should not supplement nascent iodine without supervision especially if is Grave’s disease.

    People with TSH 0.4 to 4 (normal range) can supplement nascent iodine no problem if they want.

    People with TSH 4-10 mU/L “Subclinical low thyroid function” can all benefit from nascent iodine supplementation with the iMedDo detox system.

    People with TSH >10 (hypothyroidism) can very likely benefit from nascent iodine supplementation but should do so with supervision especially if is Hashimoto’s.

    WHAT MAINSTREAM DOCTORS ARE FAILING TO SAY (THE MISSING PUZZLE PIECES)

    Having read all the articles, what was the most interesting to me was what not just what they are saying, but what they are NOT saying. The three most important things about the thyroid that were not mentioned even a single time in ANY of the above articles are;

    1. MERCURY: The importance of Detox in particular the importance of Mercury heavy metal detox from amalgam fillings. Mercury leaks from fillings into the thyroid in the neck and causes a large amount of thyroid disease.
    2. PTH: The importance of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) and how it ties in to calcium, magnesium, osteoporosis, and energy and cancer via thyroid function.
    3. VITAMIN C: Vitamin C was not mentioned in the entire magazine in spite of having articles on diet. Vitamin C is critical to keep iron reduced to keep vitamin D activated. The importance of Vitamin D was mentioned begrudgingly toward the end of the magazine. Where vitamin D is known to make many thyroid problems just go away.
    4. VACCINOSIS: Thyroid disease caused by vaccines was not mentioned even once in the entire magazine in spite of many people suffering from thyroid disease caused by vaccine damage.

    Fortunately, alternative medicine thanks to DrBenGo Healthwarrior the Thyroid Whisperer has your back, and these articles are the critical missing pieces of the thyroid jiggsaw puzzle that people have been searching for that you may all know the truth and the truth set you free:

    WHAT MAINSTREAM DOCTORS ARE SAYING VERY POORLY (HIDING KNOWN PUZZLE PIECES)

    The most relevant part of the magazine in my opinion was buried deep in the back on page 71 of 96 in the article 18: (What Are the Treatments for Thyroid Disease by Mary Shomon medically reviewed by Danielle Weiss MD) which said:

    “Some holistic healthcare providers recommend iodine supplementation, other nutritional supplements, dietary changes, and particular yoga poses. “

    “Some holistic healthcare providers recommend iodine supplementation … “

    That’s correct information. I recommend iodine supplementation done correctly to fix thyroid problems. Iodine done right is nascent iodine used with colloidal silver & colloidal gold i.e. NeuIodine, NeuSilver, NeuGold the health Trinity of the iMedDo detox system. These three minerals are now minerals A1, A2, A3 (Aurum, Argentum & Iodine) in the new combined Vitamin & Mineral Alphabet.

    “Some holistic healthcare providers recommend iodine supplementation, other nutritional supplements …

    That’s correct information . There are other nutritional supplements that help with thyroid health a lot. Most notably magnesium and daily vitamin C with vitamin D done right. Vitamin D done right uses daily vitamin C to activate where you don’t supplement more than 100% D with vitamins but rather get the rest with sunlight.

    It’s was very interesting to me to see the shady way the magazine treated Vitamin C, where the importance of Vitamin C for thyroid health was not mentioned even once in the entire magazine.

    TOUCHING THE MAGAZINE CAN ACTUALY CAUSE THYROID DISEASE

    As I finally got to the part of the magazine all the way in on page 71 finally recommending some good advice to get some iodine supplementation, I could actually feel my fingers tingling from the chemicals in the magazine paper. And I thought to myself, what an evil magazine. The people who need this information the most, by the time they actually find it over 70 pages in will have absorbed enough toxins from touching this magazine to potentially give themselves thyroid disease. How much you want to bet that this magazine paper is coated in brominated flame retardants where the bromine halogen is absorbing into my skin, and is actually known to cause thyroid problems by disrupting iodine. I’m not scared of bromine because I detox halogens daily with NeuIodine, but for everyone else I recommend you wear gloves while reading magazines as you don’t realize what sort of endocrine disrupters you are touching. (This magazine feels like bromine, and PET plastic possibly with BPA). To confirm I placed a drop of NeuIodine on the paper to confirm it was coating in some sort of plastic. Nascent iodine turns uncoated paper purple, but the iodine just sat on top with no color change confirming that the magazine has a plastic coating. Then I burned the last page of the magazine to see if it burned slow and green to confirm the presence of brominated flame retardants on the pages which it did.

    The magazine was coating in plastic possibly PET and brominated flame retardant.

    To learn more about PET plastic detox read this article on microplastics detox.

    THE VERY BEST OF MAINSTREAM MEDICINE IS SUBPAR ESPECIALLY ON FLUORIDE

    The very best article in the entire magazine was almost at the very end, article 19 (Keeping Your Thyroid Healthy by Mary Shomon medically reviewed by Kelly Wood MD). The reason I say it was the best was because it was the only article in the entire magazine to mention fluoride. Even if what it said about fluoride was incorrect at least it made a mention.

    On page 76, Consider Fluoride’s Role “Some research suggests that peole living in areas with fluoridated drinking water are at a higher risk of developing hypothyroidism. Other research has not shown this. Until this link has been established, health officials do not recommend avoiding fluoride, as its health benefits outweigh its risks.”

    The first sentence is correct. “Some research suggests that peole living in areas with fluoridated drinking water are at a higher risk of developing hypothyroidism.”

    You are darn right people getting fluoride are at higher risk for hypothyroidism! That’s because fluoride disrupts both sides of thyroid function shutting down both iodine mineral by halogen mimicry, and also shutting down the calcium/vitaminD side of thyroid function since fluoride binds insolubly with calcium. The health problems with fluoride go far beyond just disrupting your thyroid, it disrupts your entire body as we rely on over 16,000+ calcium ion pathways all of which get disrupted with fluoride poisoning. Fluoride is bad news. Fluoride is anti-organic chemistry which turns your hydrocarbons into fluorocarbons.

    But then the magazine puts on its mainstream medicine clown hat to say the following:

    “Other research has not shown this. Until this link has been established, health officials do not recommend avoiding fluoride, as its health benefits outweigh its risks.”

    What a joke and a lie. What health officials? I voted for RFKJr the new head of the US Department of Health and Human Services, the top “health official” on his platform that he was supposed to remove all fluoride from the drinking water by January 2025. It’s November 2025 now, and though he’s still working to get it done, fluoride is on the way out. I’m willing to tell you point blank with 100% certainty that in my scientific opinion as a biochemist in the American Chemical Society Fluorine Division, an expert on fluoride detox and iodine nutrition, that the link between fluoride and thyroid disease especially hypothyoidism will be firmly established in the near future. It already has been, it’s just being covered up. The cover up is goes hand in hand with the mercury heavy metal coverup, as both fluoride and mercury were used by the dentists for many years, and there is still a widespread silent epidemic of people with thyroid problems solely because they have mercury heavy metal poisoning in their neck leaked from their teeth that needs to be detoxed.

    Even with this un-enlighted statement on fluoride the article is still pretty good because it’s the only article in the magazine to make any attempt to talk about the most important topic which is different forms of iodine, and has a nice little section talking about how potassium iodide was used to prevent radiation damage. The issue of understanding different forms of iodine and which form to use when is the most critical and important information to understand about thyroid health, and I’ll be discussing that in much more detail later in this article. Most people are several generations behind still talking about potassium iodide and lugols instead of talking about nascent iodine used in a system with silver and gold.

    The article gets kudos for mentioning perchlorates another important halogen toxin that contains chlorine which can interfere with iodine.

    The article also gets kudos for mentioning the importance of vitamin D even if it doesn’t really explain the significance as related to calcium and parathyroid hormone, osteoporosis and magnesium with vitamin C. (Neither PTH parathyroid hormone, nor Vitamin C was mentioned in the entire magazine). Come to think of if the magazine never once mentioned magnesium either! The nutrition article was very lacking. It’s clear they either don’t understand or are purposefully covering up the most important issues relevant to thyroid health. Even with an almost 100 page magazine about the thyroid, having read it, mainstream medicine approach to thyroid health is subpar.

    THE WORST OF THE MAGAZINE: SHAMELESSLY PROMOTING RADIOACTIVE IODINE

    The worst part of the magazine, which I take as the worst part of mainstream medicine when it comes to thyroid health, is how the magazine was shamelessly promoting the use of radioactive iodine to treat thyroid cancer which I adamantly disagree with. The key to thyroid health is giving your thyroid regular iodine which is natively and naturally anti-cancer, not killing your thyroid with radioactive iodine. The articles which were found to be promoting radio-iodine nonsense were:

    10. Surprising Facts About Thyroid Cancer by Christine Coppa medically reviewed by Archana Sharma DO FAAP

    11. How Sofia Vergara Beat Thyroid Cancer by Jennifer KIzer medically reviewed by Doru Paul MD

    13. Facts About Goiter by Lindsay Curtis medically reviewed by Do-Eun Lee MD

    What Are the Treatments for Thyroid Disease by Mary Shomon medically reviewed by Danielle Weiss MD

    “I see some of my colleagues from MD Anderson Cancer Center are treating thyroid cancer with radioactive iodine. I would never recommend doing that as regular iodine is already natively anti-cancer, and if you do ever get radioactive iodine, you need to detox it with regular iodine afterwards.” DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    WHERE MAINSTREAM DOCTORS ARE OUTRIGHT LYING TO YOU VIA CONTRACT

    A lie is not a lie if you agree to it. If we both agree that the sky is purple, then for the purpose of a contract the sky is purple even though it is obviously a lie as the sky is blue. Not everyone realizes (real eyes) it, but the word “understanding” is used in contract law including demonic contracts to mean “agreement”. So note that the title of the mainstream medicine propaganda magazine “Understanding Your Thyroid” implies that they want YOUR AGREEMENT to some CONTRACT concerning the THYROID. The thyroid looks like a butterfly which Greek word Psyche also means Soul which I discussed in depth in my very first article the thyroid way back in 2018: Thyroid Quickening. They want a demonic soul contract with you. Don’t understand/agree to it!

    LOCATING THE DEMONIC SOUL CONTRACT

    The agreement lie can be found on page 23 of the magazine in the article number five: (Autoimmune Disease in Women and Men by MIchelle Pugle medically reviewed by Do-Eun Lee, MD) where it is highlighted and reads as:

    “While treatment cannot cure an autoimmune disease, it can help reduce the risk of symptom flare-ups. The exact treatment plan depends on the condition.”

    The contract that mainstream medicine wants you to agree to is that “there is no cure for your thyroid”.

    The nested lie they want to sell you is to think that most all thyroid disease is from either some un-curable auto-immune issue or some un-curable genetic issue.

    The most important thing they don’t want you to know about is that many supposed auto-immune and genetic problems are just underlying toxicity problems, and when you detox the underlying problem (typically halogen like fluoride or heavy metal like mercury or lead poisoning) that it is possibly to find a cure. You don’t have to agree that no cure exists. Take Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism for example, promoted as an uncurable autoimmune by mainstream medicine, oftentimes is a simple curable toxicity detox & nutrient replenishment problem.

    They want you to agree to the lie to make it not a lie for the purpose of contract, by getting your agreement that you won’t even try to look for a cure, and you accept that they are not even trying to look for a cure.

    Instead of seek a cure, they want you to agree to accept a lifetime of suffering to go down a dark journey which will end with your thyroid removed, and you on a lifetime of synthetic thyroid hormone drug treatment becoming their lifetime cash cow.

    DRBENGO’S SUMMARY OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDICINE APPROACH TO THE THYROID

    1. Don’t even try to cure the thyroid. Instead focus on scaring you into spending your money on testing.
    2. Diagnose you with something (it doesn’t matter what as the final treatment ends up being ultimately the same i.e. synthetic drugs).
    3. Destroy your thyroid by any means necessary (drugs, surgery, a particularly evil option of radioactive iodine was promoted extensively in this magazine).
    4. Give you lifetime synthetic thyroid hormone.

    It’s not hard for me to “understand” what mainstream medicine is doing for thyroid as it can be summarized into only two options:

    A) If you are hypothyroid you get the synthethic drugs.

    B) If you are hyperthyroid, destroy the thyroid to make you hypothyroid to get you on synthetic drugs.

    Which really as you can see is only one option which is to get you on synthetic thyroid drugs.

    Mainstream medicine is a money funnel that results in lots of cash for them, and no cure for you, your money spent on testing, your money spent on surgery or radiation with thyroid removed, and locked into a lifetime of thyroid hormone drugs.

    CURSE RELIGION

    The difference between curSe and cure is the snake of wisdom.

    Mainstream medicine no longer seeks to find cures, and has no interest whatsoever of ever curing you of any thyroid disease. In fact, they are incentivised to destroy your thyroid on purpose as it generates much business for them selling synthetic thyroid hormones. Their religion has become a curse upon women where the snake venom of vaccines, fluoride and mercury poisoning are being used for evil.

    CURE RELIGION

    iMedDo Foundation is a church auxiliary of iMedDo self supported ministry i.e. iMedDo is a church and our church believes in medical Freedom. Even when a cure is not known to humans, we know that God knows the cure. I will never give up trying to cure thyroid diseases, and I do not accept or agree to the idea that there is no cure. Many thyroid diseases already can be cured when it is from nutritional deficiency or toxin.

    And when the Great Serpent attempted to attack my thyroid using snake venom, I felt my thyroid transform into a dog of war, the Battle Angel Michael in Jesus form as the lamb of God who hunts wolves and spears dragons with a flaming sword:

    “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” Matthew 10:16

    NASCENT “BORN AGAIN” IODINE

    The word nascent is from the Latin verb (nascor nascare nasci natum) which means to be born. The religious meaning of nascent iodine means “born again” iodine where the concept of being born again comes from ancient egypt where the sun was continually reborn after each night and the human soul was believed to be reborn in similar fashion. In chemistry the word nascent also means “newly born” and refers to the equilibrium of how energized molecular iodine (diatomic iodine) I2 breaks apart forming two “newly born” atoms of atomic iodine I (i.e. two atoms of nascent iodine). Although molecular iodine does this naturally to a small extent, energized molecular iodine does it to a larger extent with equilibrium shifted towards the nascent iodine enough that it can be detected. Originally, the process of how to energize molecular iodine to make nascent iodine was dreamed up by the psychic Edgar Cayce which is why even today nascent iodine is considered “Psychic Iodine”. The process of how to energize molecular iodine for mass production was patented by Magnascent Division of Shield Bearer Inc where I worked as head iodine research scientist back in 2015 where I developed the spectroscopic process for how to detect nascent iodine in a non-psychic way in 2016 where you can read my paper here:

    Goins AB. Spectroscopic assessment of magnascent® iodine. J Cancer Prev Curr Res. 2016;6(1):402-405.

    *Back then was iMedDo Inc a Texas company I formed to try to provide iodine education for breast cancer awareness. Since 2021 that all things iMedDo are now part of iMedDo Foundation which is a church which educates and spread on topics of medical Freedom like detox and nutrition. Also note I’m in Georgia now not Texas. You can contact me at link iMedDo.club/book or send me or the church (if mailing the church anything official address it to Board of iMedDo Foundation) mail to:

    iMedDo Foundation 288 Valley Estates Dr Trenton, GA 30752 , or email me at healthwarrior@imeddo.club www.iMedDo.club (www.iMedDo.com and healthwarrior@imeddo.com also work).

    NeuIodine health supplement in the iMedDo detox system is nascent iodine. Nascent iodine in a health supplement refers to energized molecular iodine in equilibrium with nascent iodine in alcohol solvent. This is different than Lugol’s solution which is molecular iodine and iodide unenergized form of iodine in water.

    Back in 2015 I invented the iMedDo detox system which was a novel upgrade on how to bottle and use nascent iodine in a system with colloidal silver and gold. I learned about the importance of colloidal silver and gold from DrCalin Pop MD who I met a CEO Space where I obtained a certificate in entrepreneurship. Back then I sold nascent iodine now since 2021, I only offer it as gift for donation via my church iMedDo Foundation. iMedDo Foundation is a 501c tax exempt organization. A private unincorporated church (508c1a).

    The process of going from a scientist to an entrepreneur to going to psychic fairs with psychic iodine to going to church has been quite the journey. It’s been the combination of both science and spirituality that has allowed me to make such advancements in iodine and thus thyroid and breast cancer health.

    APPENDIX: APPEARANCE OF THE ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

    There was something demonic about the verywell magazine. From the way it tried to trick you into a soul contract, to the way it was promoting Luciferian radioactive iodine for thyroid destruction, even to the way it sinisterly and subliminally was using death magic by promoting a yoga “corpse”pose, to the way it actually poisoned your thyroid in real time as you touched its pages. The author’s name that stood out for the most evil article with the soul contract was “Michelle Pugle” which sounds like a pen name for Pugilist against Michael (Fighter agains Michael) i.e. Lucifer. The evil aura of this magazine drew my attention, and I felt compelled to fight against it and while writing this article I received the blessing of the Archangel Michael who showed up to meet the devil’s challenge:

    Archangel Michael Appearance to DrBenGo Healthwarrior the Thyroid Whisperer

    As I imagine my thyroid not just as my guardian angel but as the Archangel Michael, the commander of God’s armies, I note that the serpent the angel is spearing is a reference to the male penis. The idea is the thyroid using TSH is prioritizing energy to the brain above the neck rather than to a man’s nether regions.

    Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God” 1 Corinthians 6:19-2

    The thyroid itself like an angel is neither masculine nor feminine but when you attach a body it becomes one or the other. Because I’m a male writing this article the angel appeared to me in masculine form as Michael not Michelle.

    MOCK BATTLE OF THE SEXES

    What happened next was very strange and celtic in nature, and I’ll explain it as best as I can. I got stuck for many days on the section “sex specific differences of the thyroid”.

    I approached the thyroid as a man fighting for women to figure out why women have 7x more thyroid problems than men.

    In doing so I accidentally stumbled upon some sacred dragon knowledge which stirred up some really strange ancient battle of the sexes.

    The male form angel Michael showed up to fight on team Goddess in attack formation to obtain the secrets of EVE’s thyroid.

    A female form of angel Michelle showed up to fight on team Dragon to protect both the male and female secrets of the thyroid (ADAM & EVE).

    All the Angels and Demons joined team Dragon in defensive formation for a mock battle to protect the secrets of the thyroid except for one.

    The Angel who didn’t was a crafty one who was wise as a serpent but was not a serpent, she was not on team Dragon, she was as innocent as a dove, and like a hunter in flying lamb as an attack ram had come to raid the secrets of EVE from the defensive team. Her masculine name is Gabriel, her female name is Gabrielle, and she has appeared to me in the past as the Elf Queen Galadriel, who I was able to identify as Vivianne (Live Anne) but she wears black like Morgue Anne (Morganna dead Anne), who fights like a man. I recognized her as Gamaliel the destroyer of Sodom. She likes to dress as Alita Battle-angel, and I recognized her last month in the coverart of vitamin K. She beat the game of On, is the sole victor against Athena and recovered the flaming sword and helmet of the angel Michael and was reborn as Michael. Fighting on team Goddess as in masculine form as the archangel Michael I couldn’t even recognize her as she looked like Jesus and was my very own thyroid guardian angel. Not in defensive formation but in attack formation. EVE asked me to share some of her secrets, but all the angels and demon guardians of Adam and Eve came to defend those secrets.

    As the battle was going on I couldn’t really tell which team I was on. The tides of battle shifted and Angel/Demon Male/Female sides were very fluid as the battle raged. The masculine was attacking to protect the feminine. The feminine was defending to attack the masculine. What I can tell you is that Athena a female battle angel who is normally on my team for the purposes of the mock battle was on the other side. Athena against you becomes a rather terrifying spider. Athena of all the angels on the opposing side was the only one really capable of putting up a real defense.

    Athena though in defensive formation performed a flawless pre-emptive strike. While Gabriel as Michael was in butterfly form Athena turned into a massive spider and caught Gabriel in a web. Gabriel then sacrificed Michael who dropped his shield and helmet in the center of the web psyching out Athena who thought she had caught Lucifer. Then Gabriel as Gamaliel snuck back into the center of the web as a dungeon crawler in complete darkness and recovered Michael’s flaming sword and golden helm. Athena once again trapped the archangel when tried to fly away in the web then Gabriel turned into a dove and ate the spider. With Athena vanquished, Gabriel put on the golden helm and raised the flaming sword in doing so becoming Michael resurrected and burnt away the web making the path clear. The path was the Game of Ra (Gammorah). The battle raged on all the way to Halloween culminating in a final showdown between a cat and a giant preying mantis. Michael in male cat form fighting for team female (Cat Bastet) fought to a stalemate with Athena who chose final form of a giant preying/praying mantis female. The result of the mock battle was a stalemate with both team male for female & team female for male fighting admirably and a truce.

    ANGELIC TRUCE & DRAGON SECRETS OF ADAM & EVE

    THE SACRED MASCULINE SECRETS OF ADAM: SERPENT IDENTITY

    The dragon secrets of Adam were released. They were guarded by Michael who actually fell in battle with Athena and was resurrected by Gabrielle.

    The Archangel Michael is the representation of the sacred masculine which is viewed as the brain using the thyroid to conquer body (serpent/snake/penis).

    Thyroid imagined as the Angel Michael wielding a flaming tongue of fire the helmed dove of the Holy Spirit is the Brain getting priority over the nether regions. The snake is affirmatively identified as the man’s penis. The idea is that the thyroid allows a man to conquer their penis their sexual urges by diverting more energy to the brain (helm). The snake of a man’s penis is identified with Satan. Michael in Jesus form conquering the serpent is a reflection of man’s conquering their sexual urges. Michael represents the brute force approach to conquering the urges (brain sending signals to thyroid with TSH), whereas Jesus represents a different approach for conquering the serpent (sanctifying rather than killing the serpent by only releasing it inside Holy Matrimony).

    Thus the concept of the sacred masculine is a man who conquers his “snake” between his legs and uses his brain, and the thyroid is the guardian angel that makes it happen. A man as thyroid guardian angel who conquers his own penis/snake and is using only his head/helmet rather than his body is a rather effeminate figure. Much like Odin of Germanic religion possible namesake of Iodine (Eye of Odin) with reference to the Aegisjalmur the Eye Shield Helmet (Eye Aegis/Shild Hjalmur/Helmet). The legends say Odin was somehow “unmanly” and able to touch saidar (the female magic). Saidin/Satan the masculine magic is penis magic but its not considered sacred, the sacred masculine is conquering Satan/body/penis/ i.e. which for a man is conquering the urges of the penis between your legs.

    THE SACRED FEMININE SECRETS OF EVE: SERPENT IDENTITY

    The dragon secrets of EVE were also released after quite a showdown. It wan’t a battle between good and evil so much as it was a mock battle of the sexes between myself as man wanting to reveal female secrets to help women, and women guardian angels wanting to protect the secrets out of formality to defend the sacred feminine from male intrusion. Since I’m approaching EVE as for healing as a doctor, I’m allowed inside to see the female secrets where normally it would be death for a man to tread.

    Though the thyroid of a man and woman may look the same, one attached to a body it becomes very different. They thyroid may be a genderless Guardian Angel but because it defends your body which is either male or female it gets its own gender and male thyroids do not behave anything like female thyroids like how Michael does not fight like Michelle. I saw battle techniques from both male and female side which blew my mind in the mock battle where both sides showed their mastery of the battle techniques of the other.

    The serpent (snake) to serpent with legs (lizard/croc/alligator) to serpent with legs and wings (Dragon) is an ancient representation of the spiritual journey of mankind. I first noticed this from ancient Egypt, but I now see it came from the ante-diluvian cult of Lily.

    Lily, the original EVE is/was a beautiful flower goddess of fertility. Here entire body was the tree of life, and her entire body was the dragon.

    Her thyroid was the wings of the dragon and her head was the dragon head, and body the dragon body.

    The serpents are not the same for men and women. For men the serpent to conquer is their own penis. For women the serpent is their own entire body (head (dragon head), wings (thyroid), and body (dragon body).

    Lily is both a tree and a dragon, and she (not Adam) has the apples of immortality.

    Even though the cult of Lily is lost, and survives now only in demonized form, traces of it can be found in Mesopotamian, Abrahamic, Egyptian, Greek, Norse and Christian religions indicating its profound antiquity. After the mock battle of the sexes I was granted one single secret which is the Minoan way of seeing the thyroid as a golden axe the labrys.

    Egyptian: The Dragon is a symbol of an enlightened human where serpent to serpent with legs and serpent with legs and wings (dragon) represents the spiritual progression of mankind. The wings of the dragon are the thyroid anatomy, and thus likely the dragon was originally a female dragon from the cult of Lily.

    Mesopotamian: In the Epic of Gilgamesh Lili as Lilit is portrayed a female demon in a tree along with a serpent that cannot be charmed and an “Anzu” bird.

    Abrahamic Judean: Lily as Lilith is portrayed as Adams first wife now demonized as a bird demon.

    Greek: Lily is Medusa who originally very beautiful was cursed by Athena to now being ugly with snakes in hair. I think the most details of Lily are preserved in the Greek story of Medusa where she appears to have a very complex theology that also involves decapitation, blood, pegasus, and Chrysaor the giant with a golden sword.

    Norse: Yggdrasil the world tree literally means “Egg Dragon” i.e Ygg=Egg Drasil =Dragon. I figured out that the “dragon eggs” are referring to the female ovary anatomy where the woman herself is the Dragon which points to origins in the cult of Lily.

    Eve is the “Tree of Life”. Her Apples of Immortality are found in her Sacrum, the “Sacred Garden”.

    What religion lost, you can still see in the female anatomy. The idea of a lady with dragon eggs is still popular even in modern culture like the tv show Game of Thrones.

    Daenerys Targaryen the Mother of Dragons from Game of Thrones

    The Woman herself is the Dragon in the more ancient religion the cult of Lily. This is the female way.

    *If we accept that Eve’s sacrum is the garden of Eden, then the serpent in the garden is clearly the man’s penis trying to get up that vagina. Then the underpinning that the Biblical story was based on start to make more sense.

    *There appears to be a an ancient morality lesson in the garden of Eden story which likely is about it’s only okay for a man to enter a woman’s garden in marriage with her consent as opposed to evil which is entering a woman’s garden without her consent (rape).

    This explains why most religions like Christianity focus so much on no sex before marriage, as in ancient times the marriage contract was the “consent” required for entering the garden.

    The woman as Dragon is not the same as the serpent of the Bible! The Dragon is the woman herself the sign of a mature and spiritually advanced woman, whereas the serpent in the garden associated with the devil is referring to the man’s male anatomy.

    When Jesus says to be “as wise as a serpent” he is referring to be as wise as a woman! Not be as wise as a penis! Women as “wise women” have always been renowned for their wisdom whereas the men thinking with their penis is pretty much the opposite of wisdom.

    To the Greeks the Goddess of Wisdom was Athena.

    Athena is interesting because she might be a thyroid guardian angel but she’s also rather masculine and protects the serpent (male anatomy) as defender of the king as a serpent.

    Athena might be a backlash against the cult of Zeus where in one story Athena shows up and chops Zeus’s head off. It’s clear Athena was created after the cult of Lily and this axe chopping story likely was related to or borrowed from earlier Minoan depictions of the Goddess. The idea of an armed Goddess like Athena or Inanna instead of an innocent tree nymph Lily later demonized as Lilith appears to be very ancient as Inanna was in Epic of Gilgamesh and the double bladed axe as a symbol for female power the labrys is quite possibly the oldest known symbol of woman.

    https://imeddo.club/news/mother-of-medicine-magic-medusa

    The Greek story of Medusa and Pegasus and Chrysaor the Giant with Golden sword springing from her blood connects with Christianity.

    What people today don’t recognize is that Jesus and early Christianity was so popular and spread so quickly in Hellenic Greco-Roman culture because it was actually a women’s liberation religion and had snake woman aspects. Jesus by exorcising Mary Magdalene and marrying her was purifying the ancient Goddess religion of EVE and thus was viewed as liberating all women.

    BYB (Byblos) looks like EVE. Temple of Eve (Aphrodite/Venus)

    EVE is the Lady of Byblos, the Lady of the Bible. In Byblos, Lebanon in the levant the cults of the Egyptian Goddess Hathor from the old testament and a Syrian goddess (Arinna) merged. From about 600 BC to 400 AD the Goddess was stamped out by the Roman Empire. Jesus in the middle of that did not have a lasting effect on women’s liberation, with the fall of the Egyptian empire to the Greek and then the Romans women lost a lot of rights that have taken another two thousand years to recover. Accepting and honoring the sacrifice of Jesus to purify the Goddess, we can now look safely to the time before 600 BC to undo the curse put on EVE by God for her supposed sin of offering Adam her apple. In the Greek stories this was the same curse put on Medusa by Athena for being raped by Poseidon. This was the same curse put on Mary Magdalene.

    The secret is the Jesus by today’s standard legally raped Mary Magdalene (who was too young for age of consent) taking her as forbidden fruit putting an ugly curse on her like Athena did to Medusa where she would be considered by society to now be a prostitute, but then by marrying Mary Magdalene he restored her honor & was sinless himself keeping her as Aphrodite averting the wrath of Artemis. Athena the goddess of wisdom has been wisely guarding this secret and was darn near willing to fight to the death to keep it but the cat’s out the bag. EVE wanted it known. Ladies, I risked my life brining you this forbidden knowledge, and I hope it was worth it that some of you can use it to heal that somehow by meditating on Adam and Eve story and the sacred feminine you find your thyroid victory.

    PENTECOST THYROID VICTORY

    In the Bible, the Tongues of Fire of the Holy Spirit land on the disciples on the day of Pentecost. Pente means the number 5., V in Roman numberals for Victory symbolized by the Goddess Nike in Athena’s hand whose wings are the thyroid guardian angel.

  • ARSENIC DETOX

    by DrBenGo Healthwarrior iMedDo.club/news November 2023 A.D.

    Greetings iMedDo newsletter subscribers. It’s been a wild month for me as I flew into Corpus Christi, Texas for estate sale, sold my late father’s house, drove back nearly 1000 miles in a 31ft RV back to Chattanooga, Tennessee area, and now that I’m back in town, I’m ready to write about the most important detox topic that I’ve yet to talk about which is how to detox arsenic. Arsenic is a toxic heavy metal frequently found with lead and other poisons which is tasteless and odorless and has been historically used for all sorts of nefarious purposes some of which continue to this day. In this article I will make you aware of how arsenic is still being used to threaten your health and what you can do about it. I ask all my readers to stop and say a short prayer for all the hundreds of millions of people across the globe who have been, and who are currently being mass poisoned with arsenic, that they may receive adequate nutrition & detox & heal.

    WHAT IS ARSENIC?

    Arsenic (As) is the 33rd element on the periodic table. Arsenic is in the same group as phosphorus element 15, and antimony and is next to element 32 Germanium and element 34 Selenium. Arsenic is best known for being extremely poisonous to humans though there is some evidence that it is used as a trace mineral in birds and mammals though nothing conclusive yet for humans. Only element 33, arsenic is rather “light” but because of its toxicity it is considered to be a “toxic heavy metal”, though actually it is a metalloid. Arsenic comes in a variety of forms alloyed with other metals and sulphur or as grey natural form or as a white arsenic ore.

    Arsenic comes in a variety of forms and colors alloyed with other metals and sulphur including golden (yellow or orange) as orpiment, white as Tennantite, and in natural form (Arsenic cuboidal crystals) in grey.

    ARSENIC IN ANCIENT HISTORY: Commentary & Speculation by DrBenGo

    Arsenic is quite possibly, besides snake venom, the oldest known poison to human kind. The reason is that arsenic, since it is naturally found in metal deposits with iron, copper, silver and gold, is something that humans would have discovered when mining for gold. Gold was discovered at least 8,000 years ago for sure, and is possibly up to 200,000 years ago since that is when humans appear to have diverged from more ape-like humans be it naturally or because Annunaki aliens came and made us mine for gold around that time. Whenever gold was discovered (likely in Kemet, Egypt in Nubia) then arsenic would have been naturally discovered as well. Arsenic would have been like pyrite have been thought of as a “fool’s gold” which would have been interpreted as the earth Mother protecting the real gold. Gold is oftentimes found alloyed with Tellurium and Selenium and wherever there is sulphur or selenium oftentimes there will be arsenic as well. Arsenic is naturally occurring in iron pyrite ore along with sulphur and selenium, and because of this arsenic would have been something that very early life had to learn to use or avoid. There is some evidence that arsenic is a trace critical nutrient for birds and even for mammals but overall it is toxic & the use of arsenic in the human body is still unknown if it exists at all. Arsenic was used in ancient Egyptian times as the “royal poison”, and skilled magician-physicians such as myself would have been well aware of how to avoid it and detox it when working with gold, silver and copper, and from other mining sources such as pyrolusite. Additionally there would have been a skilled group of royal Assasins who would know how to use Arsenic for poisoning. I suspect the chemical symbol of As for Arsenic and the word Assassin are related as the Arsenic would have been the “venom” of the royal snakes (cobra was royal protector of Egyptian royalty), and note element 33 on the periodic table Arsenic reminiscent of the Masonic 33. Arsenic was used as far away as ancient China and Korea for royal poison as well indicating it was a pre-2500 BC known poison common to all proto-Indo-European-Eurasian royalty. Arsenic was used in the middle ages for murder. In Italy it was called “inheritance powder” (so evil!).

    MORE RECENT HISTORY OF ARSENIC

    Arsenic was used in Victorian times as a beauty product for facial complexion! (Don’t do that ladies! Use silver not arsenic! )

    Many old lace dresses contained arsenic. Some of you might know about the old 1944 movie “Arsenic and Old Lace” by Frank Capra with Cary Grant which talks about Arsenic poisoning.

    Arsenic & Plaster of Paris added to Bon Bon candy in by an unscrupulous poisoner in France.

    ARSENIC MODERN MASS MURDERING INITIATED IN WW1

    Arsenic was developed a bioweapon called Lewisite for biowarfare in World War 1 by an Indian scientist for the British.

    ARSENIC MASS MURDERING STILL GOING ON TODAY?

    As such arsenic would have been well known to those who are engaging in covid bioweapon in recent times. Arsenic compounds increase the likely-hood that your heart will stop suddenly especially if your potassium levels get low. Did Trump discontinue the US arsenic map in 2019 in anticipation of the 2020 covid bioweapon attack? Do your own research.

    TOP SOURCES OF ARSENIC POISONING

    1. Someone secretly poisons you on purpose (murder or bioweapon)
    Mary Blandy 1720-1752 hung in England for patricide using Arsenic she claimed was a love potion to make her father approve of her lover.

    2. Contaminated Groundwater: naturally high areas of arsenic or arsenic alloyed lead pipes.

    Test your tap water for arsenic & fluoride & lead. High quality water filters if you need at gobeyondorganic.com

     

    Arsenic risk areas worldwide: Data Source: M. Feroze Ahmed of Word Bank Group “Water Week 2004”

    Western US especially California and Nevada need to check their ground water for arsenic contamination, and we can expect that some produce from Mexico, Chile, and Argentina might have arsenic contamination as well. Looks like the Vampires in Hungary and Romania need to watch out for arsenic as well! Arsenic risk in Asia: Mongolia, Nepal, China, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Vietnam & Thailand. I found lot of literature is available about the millions affected by arsenic contaminated wells in Bangladesh which they are primarily getting from Arsenic contaminated rice from irrigation from high arsenic well water.

    If you rice is giving you abdominal pain it could have arsenic in it. By cooking it for 5 min and pouring off the water and adding new non-arsenic contaminated water you can significantly reduce rice arsenic content.

    3. Contaminated Air from industrial use of arsenic (glass factory, arsenic treated lumber burning, arsenic alloyed lead in car batteries)

    Many factories release arsenic in the air. Glass factories and the burning of arsenic treated lumber in particular.
    Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) wood treatment contains arsenic as a pesticide. Is dangerous to touch or to burn the wood makes toxic fumes. CCA Phased out in residential usage, still in commercial usage in US.

    WHY IS ARSENIC SO TOXIC?

    The primary mechanism of arsenic toxicity is because of its chemical similarity to phosphorus and is believed that arsenic can imitate phosphorus in the body which is a problem since phosphorus is used in energy and genetic molecules in all life. There are many additional known mechanism of arsenic disruption of the body see featured science article below in next section for details. Additionally Arsenic can readily bind to sulphur and selenium and causes damage to sulphur and selenium containing proteins (cysteine & methionine amino acids, and seleno-cysteine & seleno-methionine amino acids) and pathways in the body, including ones that cause oxidative damage, ones that cause DNA methylation, and ones that promote cancer. Many of the toxic effects of Arsenic are similar to lead poisoning and arsenic is even frequently found alloyed with lead in things such as car batteries. Because arsenic is tasteless and odorless it has been used historically for poisoning humans and in modern times for mass poisoning of humans. Obviously, I don’t use arsenic that way as it is a violation of the hippocratic oath to do so, but I do help people detox arsenic, and in this article I’ll help you learn what to do.

    HOW DO I KNOWN IF I HAVE ARSENIC POISONING?

    Well if you get too acutely arsenic poisoned you wouldn’t known you would be dead! But for chronic arsenic poisoning there will be signs. A big tell is that Arsenic poisoning makes your breath smell like garlic! Also people with chronic arsenic poisoning get the tingles in their hands and feed (as the body tries to push the arsenic to the peripheral nervous system to protect your central nervous system) as well as you might start to get splotches on your hands. You can also test for arsenic using urine or hair analysis or blood work.

    Many of the symptoms of arsenic poisoning are similar to lead poisoning like vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

    Arsenic poisoning can also cause watery diarrhea with blood in the stool, and can cause darker skin and thicker skin especially of the extremities like hands and feet, numbness as well as can cause cancer. Bladder, Skin, Liver cancer and heart disease.

    The heart disease aspect of arsenic poisoning can be mitigated by taking potassium. Arsenic poisoning heart disease in combination with pericarditis or myocarditis from covid jab vaccinosis is a threat I want people to be aware of why it’s so important to detox.

    HOW TO DETOX ARSENIC

    For an excellent and modern dietary advice on how to counter arsenic exposure with nutrition, I recommend this 2022 article: Natural Dietary Compounds in the Treatment of Arsenic Toxicity. It was written by an international team and is pretty impressive:

    Bjørklund G, Rahaman MS, Shanaida M, Lysiuk R, Oliynyk P, Lenchyk L, Chirumbolo S, Chasapis CT, Peana M. Natural Dietary Compounds in the Treatment of Arsenic Toxicity. Molecules. 2022 Jul 29;27(15):4871.

    For acute arsenic exposure seek medical attention and they will probably give you chelation therapy, and hopefully you won’t die within 4 days. For chronic arsenic exposure the best defense is a good diet and by using health supplements such as the iMedDo detox system which uses iodine to bind to and detox the arsenic along with silver and gold to protect the body and brain from damage as it comes out.

    The way I detox arsenic is with iodine, silver and gold. Additionally, there are some specific nutrients you can increase the amounts of when you are dealing with arsenic toxicity. The top 5 ones in my opinion are 1. lipoic acid, 2. B vitamins (thiamine and riboflavin especially), 3. Zinc, 4. Potassium 5. Selenium

    The article explains how arsenic was developed as a bioweapon in WW1 to target lipoic acid a vitamin cofactor by binding to its sulphur (thiol) groups. Thus taking lipoic acid is key for arsenic toxicity. I get lipoic acid, B vitamins and Selenium in my Power Source One multivitamin formulated by Dr. Calin Pop which I offer for iMedDo distributors. Additionally, I get plenty of sulphur and selenium in my diet since I’m a carnivore. Arsenic damage to the heart is lessened when you take potassium (I get potassium in my salt, see previous article on Cadmium detox where I recommend blending your sodium chloride table salt with 10x potassium chloride).

    An interesting point is that there is a controversy on whether or not you should eat high sulphur containing brussel sprouts or not when dealing with arsenic poisoning. It really depends on the soil and water conditions it was grown in. High sulphur will help you detox but it can also cause the brussel sprout to contain higher arsenic if was grown in arsenic contaminated water or soil, I’d say only eat brussel sprouts if you know they were grown clean of arsenic otherwise avoid when detoxing arsenic.

    Selenium supplementation is crucial for arsenic detox. Foods high in selenium include pork, brazil nuts and lentil. For more information on selenium see my previous article Sacred Selenium & do note that it is possible to get too much selenium so be sure to read carefully (you can’t eat Brazil nuts everyday or you will overdose on selenium for example). Whenever you take selenium you should take iodine and taking iodine as nascent iodine from NeuIodine along with NeuSilver & NeuGold, the iMedDo detox way, is the correct way to do it. Chalcogens Oxygen, Sulphur and Selenium are important natural chelators of toxic metals. Silver is used to reset and clean sulphur and selenium in the body. Iodine is like a higher form of oxygen (reacts chemically similar to oxygen) which can detox arsenic directly with 3 molecules of iodine for every one molecule of arsenic detoxed. Arsenic detox is very taxing on the nutrients in your body and chronic arsenic exposure is the most problematic for people who are undernourished or mal-nourished. Arsenic will deplete potassium and zinc and B vitamins thiamine and riboflavin and lipoic acid in particular. Because the human body hoards iodine needing it for life support, it will only use iodine for arsenic detox when you are not iodine deficient, otherwise arsenic poisoning will cause or exacerbate existing iodine deficiency. Normally males do 2 drops of NeuIodine and females 4 drops but if you know you dealing with arsenic toxicity you can increase by 1 extra drop a day to 3 for males and 5 for females. Arsenic will readily bind to both chlorine and fluorine and when arsenic is bound to fluorine it is critical that you have iodine to detox it. Only iodine and gold can detox fluorine to the best of my knowledge.

    Thankyou for reading! Have a wonderful & blessed Thanksgiving everyone!

    PS I was reading about how some turkey and chicken has arsenic contamination from arsenic pesticide bird feed! Oh my! Just be in a constant state of detox with the iMedDo detox system and eat whatever you want this holiday!

    Greetings iMedDo newsletter subscribers! Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. In this episode we are going to look closely at an often overlooked toxic heavy metal known as cadmium. My goal is that you have a basic understanding of where cadmium exposure comes from, problems it causes in the body, and how to detox cadmium using iMedDo Detox System and mineral rebalancing.

    WHAT IS CADMIUM

    Cadmium is element 48 on the periodic table. Cadmium is a soft silvery white transition metal and is a toxic heavy metal. In general elements heavier than element 34 are toxic, and cadmium is no exception. The notable exceptions of elements larger than atomic number 34 which are not toxic are: silver (47), iodine (53) & gold (80), all three of which are used in the iMedDo detox system.

    CADMIUM WAS DISCOVERED AS A ZINC IMPURITY

    Cadmium was discovered in 1817 by German chemists Stromeyer & Hermann while they were analyzing an impurity which they thought at first was arsenic that was naturally occurring in zinc ore. The zinc ore was called Cadmia named after the Greek hero Cadmus (Kadmos), and was used in making calamine lotion. Because the new element was isolated from the Cadmia they named it Cadmium which kinda makes sense, and is also cool because it means the element Cadmium is also indirectly named after the Greek hero Cadmus as well (see Appendix: Mythology of Greek Hero Cadmus).

    SOURCES OF CADMIUM TOXICITY

    The primary use of cadmium is in Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries. Although exposure to cadmium from battery industry is possible, it’s not thought to be a major source of cadmium toxicity.

    Instead the main source of cadmium toxicity is from fertilizers and cadmium contaminated soils and from diet from plants grown in cadmium contaminated soils.

    Cadmium used to be used in PVC pipes but is no longer, and cadmium and cadmium toxicity can also come from a variety of industrial applications such as cadmium used on metals an an anti-corrosive, and cadmium used in nuclear industry, and used in semi-conductor industry.

    Another potentially serious source of cadmium toxicity is from cadmium paints used from yellow, orange and red dyes. Cadmium sulfide is yellow and cadmium selenide is red.

    Breathing cadmium dust is more toxic than eating it certain industries like sandblasting cadmium paint into a dust and inhaling can have higher cadmium toxicity.

    Most people with cadmium toxicity will probably never even know it as you’ll just think you have some other metal toxicity like mercury or lead, as many of the heavy metal symptoms are all the same like headache, anxiety, nausea, acne, low energy etc.

    Cadmium toxicity is most well known for causing renal failure and bone problems though causes full body problems from mineral disruption like zinc mimicry. Cadmium does interfere with calcium signaling but even worse it shuts down the mitochondria in the kidneys and without kidney function calcium problems are exacerbated even more. Cadmium toxicity is amplified by fluoride, aluminum, and low iodine and amplified with other toxic heavy metals. Iodine is a very important part of combating cadmium as iodine promotes mitochondria and energy.

    PERIODIC TABLE GIVES CLUES AS TO CADMIUM’S TOXICITY

    Looking at cadmium on the periodic table we can see it’s in group (column) 12, which include: Zinc/Zn (30), Cadmium/Cd (48), Mercury/Hg (80) and Copernicium/Cn (112).

    Copernicium is radioactive and toxic and does not occur naturally so doesn’t really matter. Of the three naturally occurring ones, zinc, cadmium and mercury, zinc is known to be a critical nutrient, whereas cadmium is toxic and mercury is uber toxic.

    Mercury is believed to be the most toxic of all the heavy metals tied only perhaps with lead. Being in the same family as Mercury is not a good look for cadmium. Like Mercury, I presume even before learning more about cadmium that it is also toxic and that it’s primary mechanism of toxicity is likely as Cd2+ ions interfering with zinc Zn2+ ions, and potentially also interfering with other +2 signaling pathways such as calcium Ca2+ and Magnesium Mg2+ as well though will have to read more to confirm.

    Doing a quick search is looks like cadmium toxicity can cause respiratory damage, Renal (Kidney) damage, Skeletal Lesions, Osteoporosis and Anemia, Anosmia (loss of smell), and yellowing of the teeth.
    https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/cadmium/Chronic-Effects.html

    Searching in more depth I was able to confirm that as I suspected just from looking at the periodic table, and being a biochemist to notice, that Cadmium does in fact interfere with Zinc, & does interfere with Calcium & Magnesium.

    Doing some more reading I also found that Cadmium interferes with Manganese, and Copper and Iron as well.

    In fact it appears that Cadmium interferes with Manganese the most.

    Manganese (not to be confused with Magnesium) is an important nutrient that I have not yet written a newsletter about. I have written newsletters about Zinc, Magnesium though which also talk about Calcium.

    If you’ve forgotten an important take home from zinc article is that there are 3000 known zinc proteins which is a whopping 10% of the human genome’s 30,000 encoded proteins use zinc.

    So Cadmium interfering with zinc is bad news as can potentially interfere with 3k proteins and also interfere with zinc ion (Zn2+) signaling.

    Taking more zinc does help with cadmium poisoning to an extent but what is found to help even more is taking manganese.

    Zinc is balanced by copper, and when body is tricked into thinking its zinc levels are too high (from cadmium mimicking zinc) taking more copper helps (but don’t do that) instead take gold. iMedDo NeuGold. Gold is a superior conductor to copper in the nerves, and when the body gets untracked and realizes that it’s not actually high zinc, it’s high cadmium imitating zinc, then it is glad that you didn’t over copper as not enough zinc around to balance but with gold can mineral balance safely.

    A very important thing I learned while researching cadmium is that cadmium can be detoxed using iron. Normally people do not need to supplement iron, but interestingly with cadmium poisoning one of the most common side effects is anemia (low iron) because the body is using up the iron to detox the cadmium. A few years ago I wrote an article on iron, and the issue of iron anemia was confusing to me. But now I see if you have chronic anemia, you very well could be dealing with cadmium toxicity, detox and if that was the problem the anemia should go away. I eat off of cast iron skillets so I’m not really worried about either low iron, but if my iron was low even while I was eating off of iron skillets at least now I know something that could be causing that! Cadmium toxicity.

    CADMIUM POISONING IN JAPAN: ITAI-ITAI (IT HURTS, IT HURTS) DISEASE

    The most well known case of cadmium poisoning was in Japan in 1912 when a mining company was releasing cadmium into a river. Coined as ITAI ITAI or it hurts it hurts disease, the locals drinking from the river and eating rice grown from the cadmium contaminated river water developed severely painful spine/bone and joint problems as well as softening of the bones and kidney failure.

    CADMIUM POISONING CAUSES BONE SOFTENING SPINAL DAMAGE

    From the Japanese we learn that the main problem with cadmium poisoning (besides kidney failure) is that it causes softening of the bones. This is a serious problem if your spine softens and you get micro fractures in the bones which can be extremely painful as happened to the Japanese with Itai-Itai disease. Bone softening is a clue that cadmium interferes with calcium pathways and likely magnesium and other bone pathways. We known know that cadmium interferes with manganese and zinc nutrients in particular, and much of the calcium interference is from the kidney damage.

    CADMIUM POISONING CAUSE KIDNEY DAMAGE

    Cadmium can make kidneys shrink by up to 30% and rather than re-uptaking enough calcium back into the blood, nutrients such as calcium (and magnesium and zinc and others (manganese in particular seems important with cadmium toxicity) too much of them are lost. The result is softened bones from the kidney damage.

    CADMIUM TOXICITY SUMMARIZED

    Cadmium heavy metal is toxic because like both mercury and lead it can form a +2 ion that interferes with +2 ion signaling in the body. In particular cadmium interferes with the same things lead and mercury interfere with (zinc, calcium, and magnesium), and additionally interferes with manganese, copper and iron. It goes without saying that cadmium toxicity will also result in low iodine as body has to expend iodine to detox it.

    CADMIUM DETOX SUPPLEMENT CHANGES

    Normally you should already be supplementing the above things (zinc, calcium, magnesium, manganese) in your multivitamin(s).

    But it is not normally recommended to supplement copper or iron.

    But with cadmium poisoning supplementing copper and iron is okay, but an even better way is to instead of supplementing copper and iron is to supplement gold and silver.

    So if you are just going along and taking your iMedDo detox system and a great multivitamin (I endorse PowerSourceOne created by DrCalin Pop) then you should be fine for cadmium detox.

    If you want to get fancy, if you knew for certain you had cadmium toxicity then you might want to up your magnesium and especially your manganese supplementation, and if you are confirmed to be iron anemic from the cadmium poisoning then also supplement iron.

    MANGANESE & ZINC FOR CADMIUM DETOX

    The most interesting thing I learned about cadmium toxicity that I was not aware of before writing this article is the importance of manganese in addition to zinc but even more so than zinc for cadmium detox.

    Fortunately, although toxic, cadmium is not as toxic as either mercury or lead. I suspect that because zinc is used so ubiquitously in the body (see my zinc article, 3000 known pathways) that our body has ways of separating out and limiting the damage of the cadmium as cadmium is a common contaminant of zinc in our diet.

    SULPHUR & SELENIUM

    Additionally as a +2 charged cadmium ion Cd2+, the body uses both sulphur (S2-) and selenium (Se2-) charged molecules for detox.

    IODINE FOR CADMIUM DETOX

    The way I’m familiar with for detox is that body uses iodine as a universal oxidant of heavy metals (and iodine is used by the body as an anti-oxidant in other pathways).

    SILVER & GOLD FOR CADMIUM DETOX

    Because silver is known by me to be the direct antidote to Mercury and gold to lead and both mercury and lead Hg2+ and Pb2+ are similar in charge to cadmium as its preferred Cd2+ ion form, then likely either silver or gold or both will be useful in detoxing cadmium. I’m not sure which will work better so to be safe just use both silver and gold as well as iodine in iMedDo detox system and you will get the cadmium out.

    COPPER & IRON VS GOLD & SILVER

    Normally you wouldn’t supplement copper or iron, however with cadmium toxicity, you can. However, I believe that supplementing gold instead of copper and silver instead of iron is even better. The iMedDo way is to not worry about supplementing copper or iron, as instead you are supposed to be supplementing silver and gold along with iodine using the iMedDo Detox System.

    CADMIUM CARCINOGEN

    Cadmium is a known carcinogen and promotes cancer. Based on my current understanding of medicine, it’s most likely from mitochondrial disruption, and using both iodine and silver is the solution, and note that all three iodine, silver and gold in iMedDo system are anti-cancer so don’t worry about cadmium carcinogenesis, just detox and it will go away.

    SILVER & IODINE VS CADMIUM AT MITOCHONDRIA

    Silver shuts down mitochondrial cells that have become cancerous.
    Iodine shuts down mitochondrial cells that have become cancerous and also promotes more mitochondria to be formed.

    Because primary cadmium toxicity is killing kidney mitochondria, it is important to take both iodine and silver together not just silver alone when detoxing cadmium, and as discussed above, gold is useful for cadmium detox as an alternative to copper.

    IRON & CADMIUM

    Besides kidney failure, the other most common side effect of cadmium poisoning is suppressed red blood cell formation (erythropoiesis). An surprising discovery while reading about cadmium detox is the iron can be used to detox cadmium and in particular iron in the body is used up to detox cadmium. So cadmium toxicity comes with anemia (low red blood cells) as then there is less iron to to around to form hemoglobin in red blood cells.

    CADMIUM COVID CONSPIRACY

    Because cadmium poisoning can cause “flu like symptoms”, and because cadmium anemia would look a lot like malaria parasite, and because cadmium poisoning in the air could cause serious respiratory problems, I had never thought about it but if the entire covid pandemic was faked, then cadmium poisoning could have been used to do it. I’m not saying it was, I’m just pointing out that sneaky poisoners have many ways to trick us into thinking we have a virus when it could just have been caused by a metal toxicity.

    CADMIUM CHEMTRAILS

    There is a documented declassified case in the 60’s of the UK spraying cadmium on their poor citizens. Normally when I think about chemtrails I’m thinking about barium, aluminum and strontium but now I’m also thinking about cadmium. It seems entirely plausible that cadmium toxicity sprayed as chemtrails to damage the lungs and cause flu-like symptoms and then activation by 5G could in fact be deployed as a bioweapon, and possibly it has already been deployed, very disturbing thoughts. Cadmium is much more readily absorbable in the lungs 10-40% whereas when eaten is only a few percent absorbed.

    NUTRIENT DEPLETION EXACERBATES CADMIUM POISONING

    The body when it gets low in zinc or manganese in particular in an attempt to absorb more in the diet will also absorb more cadmium. Thus having good nutrition protects against cadmium poisoning.

    THE IMEDDO WAY

    The iMedDo way is to be in a constant state of detox. The goal is that by taking iMedDo detox system that you will detox toxins like cadmium out faster than you are taking them in. There is a small amount of cadmium naturally occurring in soil from zinc ores and a large amount of cadmium in many foods from cadmium contaminated crop fertilizers, so even if you are eating healthy you are being exposed to cadmium, so just keep detoxing and you will stay healthy.

    Namaste,

    APPENDIX: MYTHOLOGY OF GREEK HERO CADMUS

    Cadmium named from the zinc ore Cadmia is thus also indirectly named after the Greek hero Cadmus from which Cadmia ore was named. Cadmus was a Greek hero like a proto-Hercules who is as far as I can tell also and Orion constellation reference and a milky way reference which gives the word cadmium access to magical qualities. The mythology of Cadmus is very interesting as he is the Phonecian who brought the Phonecian alphabet to the Greeks (Boetia area), and he has a fascinating mythos related to dragons, dragons teeth, the Spartans and a host of greek gods and goddesses and European cow mythology (Zeus and Europa).

    https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cadmus

    Cadmus was the brother of Europa, and Boetia is “Cow City”. Because Boetia Greece was conquered by Alexander the Great 335 BC, it is interesting to me to look towards the Greek Ptolomy dynasty of Egypt founded in Alexander’s legacy for syncretic study of ancient Greek mythology with ancient Egyptian mythology. Cadmus would be the hero comparable to Egyptian Hero/Heru, and is the same as Hercules also being an Orion constellation reference. The story of Cadmus and his wife Harmonia being transformed into dragons is thus not surprising, as the red nebula behind the Orion constellation is the dragon here and the milky way can also be imagined as a dragon. An interesting thing to me is that as Europa’s brother it would be up to Cadmus to avenge his sister for her being raped by the God Zeus, and sure enough like Prometheus, Cadmus is a human rather than God imagining of the Orion constellation, and when you imagine yourself as God when you look at the Orion constellation instead of seeing it as Zeus or Thor or Perrun or some other god holding the milky way as a thunderbolt then indeed Cadmus like Prometheus would be seen as the God-slayer encoding Greco-Buddhist astrotheology.

  • SANTA’S ARMOR

    by DrBenGo Healthwarrior iMedDo.club/news December 2022.

    Greeting iMedDo Subscriber’s! Merry Christmas! Since It’s December I did a meditation looking back at Santa Claus through the history and then wished I hadn’t. Christmas is for looking forwards not backwards. What I found out about Santa turned me into a Grinch, so I wrote this song for you hope you don’t flinch!

    GRINCH’S ODE TO SANTA

    Twas the night before Christmas in the lair of the Grinch.  

    The grinch was not stirring not even an inch.  

    12 days of Christmas celebrations coming noisy and loud   

    the Grinch would not have them, the Grinch was too proud.  

    Awakened at last & peering out with red eye, 

    the Grinch saw no Santa & heaved a happy sigh.  

    My lair has no chimney, that should keep Santa out!

    The Grinch had been naughty & often did pout.   

    Keep your coal you foul demon you two thousand year old taint! 

    We all know Saint Nicholas was more sinner than saint.   

     You’re a fake Santa! Your jollyness is a jest!

    Why do they like you? I do protest.  

    Your St Basil at best, Odin at worst

    Children sing your praise 

    when you should be cursed.

    Your don’t pay your elves, how do you keep them from fight? 

    You sneak into homes in middle of night.   

    You were thin to go down chimneys but have grown fat. 

    How do the children wrap their heads around that?

    One day they’ll miss me & clamor to bring me back.  

    For I was the great Krampus & kidnapped kids in my sack.  

    The naughty did fear me, now they don’t think I’m real.  

    But I know the truth, my gig you did steal! 

    How you stay popular is truly a feat.  

    I know your dark secret, I’ve met sooty Pete.  

    You replaced Krampus with a Moor to pass candy out 

    I’ll make you regret it you bearded racist devout.   

    You think you’re too cool to wear my green suit & switched it red.  Dropped your sailor man pipe image to bed.

    Kris Kringle’s a baby what did you do with him?  

    you Christ-mas cannibal probably washed him down with gin.  

    I see you foul giant and where is your horse? A red nosed reindeer guiding your sleigh with remorse.

    I simply don’t trust you, I’ve heard Mrs Claus gossip far & wide 

    of how you treated Artemis, your former bride.  

    You wear  protective belt, for your bad karma is lore.

    Santa you dress like a red dragon of yore.  

    Santa your name is Satan but you mock me again.  

    For instead of bringing evil you bring presents & redemption from sin.  

    instead of letting the bad freeze, you bring them coal.  

    That they might share Christmas warmth & lighten their souls.  

    Instead of a bag of toys, I’d give them all fire! 

    Ocs would pull my sleigh not reindeer or horse is my desire.   

    One day I’ll stop you Santa, but it won’t be tonight. 

    For it’s Christmas Eve now, & I cower in fright.   

    Keep your Christmas Spirit away from me please. 

    I don’t want your coal, just let my heart freeze.   

    I know I’ve been bad, the opposite of nice.  

    I’m the Grinch I can’t help it, I bring terror & fright.  

    But maybe if you can change so can I?

    Maybe instead of being evil being nice should I try?   

    From Artemis to Odin with elves & dwarves you did fly.  

    I remember your armor & 8 legged horse named Sleep Near.   

    Oh how I miss it when you it when you filled them with fear.   

    With Aegis Helm on your brow did you attack, 

    invincible & awe-full I want my helm of terror back!    

    Instead of being scary but with a wink of your eye, 

    they’re all tricked into liking you as down their chimneys you fly.   

    I see your Viking Magic, I’m wise to your tricks.   

    With your rune covered sleigh never lost in fog so thick. 

    You’ve ruined Yule you jolly madman with cookies & milk.   

    Bringing present of iodine, silver, gold into stockings of silk! 

    I don’t want your dowry for daughter to wed.  

    Don’t bring me gold in my stocking I’d rather sell her instead.  

    Don’t need your permission you All Father plump pimp! 

    For my name is Loki even though you think me a wimp 

    but I’ll turn into a horse myself & ‘nightmare’ will fly 

    instead of your joyful sleigh ride its time that they die! 

    But alas I cannot hurt them nor can I hurt you.  

    As much as I wish it, my magic is through. 

    For no spell can match the Christmas magic so strong 

    there is nothing like it ever written in legend or song. 

    As long as families do gather, hug & hold fast 

    Bringing joy & staying merry, my magic they  outlast. 

    As long as they decorate the living Christmas tree.

    the light of the Holy Spirit keeps out ones such as me.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS

    The point of Christmas is to be merry. If you are not merry for Christmas you get depressed and it’s easy to get depressed when it’s rainy and very little sunshine outside. If you are feeling seasonal depression, I highly recommend you try NeuGold colloidal gold, 3 drops under your tongue it’s like liquid sunshine and will really help you feel better. As I started meditating on the history of Santa Claus I got more and more depressed as I found out more and more that history that has only improved over time which means the farther back in time you look it’s a steady downward gaze. After learning a lot about Santa, I realized I really couldn’t talk about it without smearing Santa which is not my intention as Santa and Christmas are awesome and I don’t want to in any way mess them up, so I decided the best way to talk about Santa’s sordid past is to use the Grinch to gripe about Santa with Merry message at the end to remind readers that Santa and Christmas are awesome even if we don’t always feel the Christmas Spirit at first, it’s real and the alternative to Christmas Spirit is not worth contemplating, and I hope the Grinch convinced you that it’s better to have Santa than him =). I found the Grinch griping about Santa to be very jolly and amusing as the image of the unhappy Grinch in his lair being jealous of Santa makes me laugh,and I hope it did for you as well. If you are feeling depressed this Christmas lighten up just because you can’t see the sun or the stars through the fog doesn’t mean they are not there, you can rely on your inner lights to guide you. Christmas is an excellent time for meditation and internal reflection. I made amazing advancement in my spiritual journey which overlapped on many topics and themes I’ve talked about in the past so if you have not done so already I highly recommend you read some of the older newsletters.

    STARS OF THE MORNING LIGHT

    I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be doing video discussions of the newsletter from now on with Stars of the Morning Light”s Courtney McMahon to help present information in video format to go with my written word. If you missed it be sure to check out her interview of me on last month’s article on selenium and iodine energy:

    And if you missed it her inteview of me on the month before last’s article on Lead Detox. Interview discussing this episode will be out sometime in January so really looking forward to that.

    AND NOW FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT: SANTA MEDITATION

    This month’s episode is a little different as usually I talk about nutrition and last month was heavy in biochemistry. I started this month’s meditation still thinking about iodine nutrition and made a fascinating connection between iodine and Father Christmas, and Santa’s magical armor. Santa is related to the Orion constellation which is the simplest way I can explain a very complicated topic which is multi-faith religious in nature encompassing not just Christianity as you would think but also Norse mythology, Greek mythology and revealed to me some secrets of an ancient Greco-Buddhist Hero worship religion, it was a wild spiritual sleigh ride I took when meditating on Santa!. Because of the complex an controversial nature of the topics my meditation on Santa took me (most of which are not politically correct in today’s climate), I’m going to skip talking about them, and just comment that you should not look back on Santa but instead look forward to Santa, and instead of thinking about Santa in a historical context, you will make more progress in your own spiritual journey in my opinion if you look at Santa in a peotic and heroic legendary context, and the Grinch’s Ode to Santa poem which I put at the start of this article was actually the end and culmination of my meditation.

    WHO IS SANTA?

    Santa comes from word which means Saint or Sacred. The funny thing is that Santa also comes from the same word as Satan which is from in my opinion Santana dharma Hinduism (Sacred Hinduism, as later villified by the Greek religion when they split). The word Santa went on to be the word for the most sacred like the Santa Maria (Saint Mary) as well as was vilified as the bad guy (Satan) in Bible book of revelations where Satan is also identified as a red dragon. Historically the red dragons were the Danish Anglo-Saxxon invaders of England which is relevant to British & American history since we speak English. Functionally Santa is very similar to the Germanic/Norse/Anglo-Saxxon/Danish/Scandinavian/Pan-European & Icelandic All-father God Odin which is something that if you have not studied Santa or have only listed to the “church” view of Santa may be something you might not be aware of but this is a very important point about Santa which was a fertile ground for my meditation.

    LINK: https://sonsofvikings.com/blogs/history/viking-origins-of-christmas-yule-traditions

    Some key similarities that indicate that Santa was more than partially inspired by Odin is that Odin is shown flying on an 8 legged horse (compare to Santa and 8 reindeer), Odin is also a gift giver (but he gives armor and weapons instead of dowry money), Odin also has a sleigh (a rune covered sleigh), and Odin is also associated with elves (and dwarves too!), Odin is the Allfather, and Sants is Father Christmas: the similarities are too much not to take notice of. In spite of all these similarities, the view that Santa is Odin is not mainstream as instead Santa is most identified instead as being a 4th century Greco-Turkish bishop by the name of Saint Nicholas which is another important avenue to research when looking into what went into the Santa Claus legend. But if you look at the Greek people they talk about St. Basil being the one who they remember fondly bringing presents to the children and it looks to me that St. Nicholas in that function is more of a western (Roman) invention. But if you do believe Santa is St. Nicholas, then if you look at what did St. Nick actually bring presents of and you will find was dowry money which is an interesting topic in and of itself but which I decided to cut as is also a red herring. I found more fruitful meditation thinking about the connection of Santa and Odin and Loki (portrayed in the poem as the Grinch) than I did thinking about Santa’s dowry money. Originally I was going to call this episode Santa’s dowry, but instead I changed it to Santa’s armor, as it’s the Santa Odin connection that I found more interesting, and in that paradigm Santa is the bringer of magical armor not dowry money for Christmas. The armor of Christ or the Helm of Awe the Aegisjalmur sounded to me like pretty awesome Chrsitmas gift. Turns out it’s a gift I’ve already given and if you wish to receive it, be sure to read the January 2021 episode Cataphractic Diamond Body Meditation where I rediscover a long lost connection between Christ, Buddhism and use of pineal for cavalry charge via helmet or lance or arrow or shield etc depending on how you do the meditation has many variations.

    IODINE AEGISJALMUR

    As I was meditating and Santa and thus Odin, I couldn’t help several interesting phonetic connections between my favorite element iodine which is phonetically “Eye Odin”, and phonetic connection to the helmet in Icelandic/Norse/Germanic/Odinic legend called the Aegishjalmur (pronounced “Eye”-jishalmer) which is said to be a physical helmet with a cool looking symbol by the same name that is also said to be to protect and connect to your pineal and to make you invicible in battle, but really when you look into it what it does it to make everyone around you like you. This is connected with a lot of interesting but also rather dark topics related to Scandinavian witches (volves) and germanic paganism with Odin as a practioner of Seidr (female witchcraft & being able to read the female runes) which is related to even more taboo topics like sacred prostitution, Mary Magdalene & Jesus stuff I’m itching to get into but is just too much for this episode.

    Another interesting Icelandic/Norse rune, magical stave, is called the Vegvisir the wayfinder which is used to not get lost, and once you realize the connection between Santa and Odin is clear Santa is using Viking magic to not get lost in the Milky Way fog (now a function attributed to Rudolph the red nosed reigndeer who I identify as Betelgeuse star in Orion constellation alpha-Orion). I also as part of my meditation had to look deeply to see if iodine actually was named after Odin or not, and the official story is no (named after greek word iodeas for color purple), but because English is a Germanic PIE language with many words actually named after Odine (wooden, wise [from witan i.e. wotan/Odin] and more), the word iodine just fits right in to English very nicely and subconscously makes me me think about Odin whether it was actually named that way on purpose or not. Because of the phonetic stability of language unlike its written form, many words that are not acknowledged to be etymologically related actually are, and I think the Greek word Aegis for shild and the Norse word Aegishjalmer and the word Eye are all related Eye-gis (Possibly from Eye of Isis) and Aegis for Shield (Shield-Helm for Aegishjalmur) and Eye of the Third Eye-Pineal, and even Iodine as “Eye Odin” are all very connected whether etymologists want to believe it or not. Remember back in the old days before Iodine was discovered as an element, it was being gotten in the diet in milk, so many much older legends are related to wisdom and milk and snakes an milk. The connection for leaving milk for Santa (milky & cookies) is now we can consider related to iodine, and of the connection of our pineal to the Milky Way our galaxy (pineal is like antenae to God) is via iodine. Iodine is the nutrient your body needs for your pineal to work, but also has many other uses in the body for detox, for energy and more. The Aegishjalmur as I started meditating on it is such a complex think that is too much for this episode but I want to introduce it her for you to start your own meditation on. In order for me to really explain the importance of the Aegis Helm (Helm of Awe, Helm of Terror) you need to know not just Norse and German mythology, but also Greek mythology, and I connect it to Buddhist Dharmachakra chariot wheel is just an overwhelming meditation and all I want to do her is to give you the missing puzzle piece that I discovred that if you meditate on it with a detoxed pineal from using iMedDo System, you will make amazing progress in your spiritual journey as I have.

    ORION CONSTELLATION

    The Orion constellation is what connects St. Nicholas, Odin, and a multitude of other hero’s and villains spanning back from Egyptian Heru to Greek Hercules, to Orion the Hunter to Artemis the Hunter, to St. Nicholas the hunter of heretics, Odin & his Great Hunt on Yule is the Orion constellation. Imagined many different ways in the past, the Santa Claus imagining is really a good one and the star Betelgeuse (alpha-Orion) is the Red Nose of Rudolph.

    HEROIC SANTA

    Looking up at the Orion constellaton and either imagining a hero or a villain is something tha spans back to pre-history and was popularized at least with the ancient Greeks. If you want to learn Greek mythology check out the Bibliotheca the library of ancient myths passed down via Greeks to us is a real resource of ancient “hero” stories. The Orion constellation imagined form prospective of Roman Church as the “hero” Saint Nicholas who fought off the Arian Christian heresies and who defended the trinity and who brought dowry money to princesses so that they could avoid a life of prostitution is the heroic Santa story being referenced by Santa Claus as Dutch Sinterclaus. Odin is both older and younger hero reference than St. Nicholas and functionally thery are both hero references to the Orion constellation. A giveaway is St. Nich is savcred to sailors, beccuase was older Greek Jason and the Argonauts.

    And make no mistake about it Santa is a legend, a heroic legend. Santa is a hero, but how you view him can be vastly different depending on your culture and perspective. In fact Santa was not a hero to all, to some in his distant past he was a villain and I tried to encapsulate the changing view of Santa from bad boy to child protective hero in the Grinch poem hope I succeeded. In it I tried to put in some of the things that I found most shocking about the Santa transformation over time. So who Santa is really depends on your culture and country as varies all across the world, but here in America the Santa most people see in their minds when they think about it is the Coca-Cola Santa, but when we think about the characteristics of Santa we think of the Night Before Christmas poem by Clement Moore.

    This is the version of Santa I had as a child and is still the best version of Santa. If you have not read this poem, it’s really worth your time is short but catch and you will notice that my Grinch poem was modeled after its rhyming style though the Grinch is inspired by Seuss’s poem how the Grinch Stole Christmas. I put a Viking spin on it identifying the Grinch as Loki and being jealous of Santa as Odin. Odin is the god of poetry and knowledge among other things so writing poetry about Santa seems fitting hope you enjoyed. If anyone has any suggestions how to make the poem even better please let me know.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  • SACRED SELENIUM

    by DrBenGo Healthwarrior

    iMedDo.club/news November, 2022

    Greetings iMedDo newsletter subscribers and Happy Thanksgiving! This month I’m talking about the nutrient Selenium which is named after Selene the Moon Goddess. My interest in Selenium is primarily related to mercury detox as well as thyroid function, and in particular, I want to elucidate how Selenium supplementation is synergistic with iMedDo System in particular with nascent iodine: NeuIodine. In this episode I discuss the two thyroid selenoproteins, and discuss how thyroid physiology of glutathione peroxidase (GPO) elucidates why nascent iodine is better than iodide supplementation. Selenium is most known for its anti-oxidant properties, anti-cancer and anti-viral properties and being a critical trace nutrient for all life, but selenium has a darker side that it can kill you if get too much, but you can’t live without it! Just like the moon, beautiful but scary, there is no doubt that selenium is just as impressive, and just like the moon, the more you known about it, the more you become even more impressed as you find it hides a much deeper secret concerning alternative energy processing in the mitochondria. Selenium is a mandala mirror whose study reflects light into our own life’s energy and leads to deeper understanding of how iodine and oxygen and even silver are used in the body to protect life during metabolism and stress. An important finding of this work looking at thyroid physiology is that increased selenium is recommended if you are using iodide form of iodine to counteract oxidative stress (I recommend nascent iodine not iodide), and increased selenium is recommended to protect against mercury toxicity, so selenium nutrition is synergistic with iMedDo System which uses iodine and silver for mercury detox. Selenium and silver work together in the mitochondria where silver kills organisms using older energy pathways like cancer and bacteria, and selenium and iodine protects mitochondria in healthy cells.

    SELENIUM THE BIG PICTURE

    Once again I’ve written a rather dense article, and I don’t want you my dear readers to miss the big picture which is simply that I recommend that in addition to taking your iMedDo Detox System containing nascent iodine, colloidal silver and gold, that you also take a multivitamin and the one that I recommend is the one designed by DrCalinPop who is a silver & gold expert. In his multivitamin it does contain selenium in both organic and inorganic forms both of which are important to get. iMedDo System makes your other vitamins and nutrients work better, and for the first time I have confirmed that conversely if you take selenium it will make both NeuIodine and NeuSilver work even better as selenium is used in thyroid hormone signaling and in mitochondrial protection. But even if you are getting enough selenium it won’t work unless you take iodine, and in this article I will explain why taking iMedDo System with nascent iodine is better than Lugol’s or other iodine with iodide form which has to do with thyroid physiology related to selenium.

    SILVER VS SELENIUM

    In alchemy it is silver that is associated with the moon, so this new element selenium being named after the moon has a lot to live up if it is to rival silver for “moon healing” properties! Silver is anti-cancer and anti-viral and anti-inflammatory. Selenium is anti-cancer and anti-viral and an anti-oxidant. Silver has all kinds of additional healing properties like being anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, and doing some cool stuff with gold protecting DNA. Selenium also has all kinds of additional healing properties mostly related to oxygen and sulfur chemistry, protects proteins from oxidation, and seems to have some overlap with silver and gold for DNA protection possibly through copper and iron pathways. So yeah, selenium seems as magical and sacred to me as silver, but big difference whereas you can’t hurt yourself talking high does of silver (at least not with food grade nano-colloidal coated silver NeuSilver; you can hurt yourself, even kill yourself, if you were to take too high doses of selenium! So silver seems safer, but selenium is just exceedingly impressive in that it seems to have the scope of healing as large as silver but it its own complementary way. Also note that selenium is not even a metal, so comparing it to silver metal seems a bit unfair as selenium is more appropriately compared to sulfur. But since sulfur can bind to silver, selenium can also bind to silver, and so the interaction and synergy between selenium and silver pathways are not necessarily that surprising or unexpected. Since I have the best silver & gold detox system, am very excited to present my findings on how selenium is synergistic with silver and gold which is my ongoing research interest to elucidate.

    SELENIUM VS IODINE

    Iodine is known to affect metabolism, like completely control metabolism, having a positive effect on mitochondria and energy production. Selenium is known to have a positive effect on mitochondria and energy production related somehow to accumulating in and protecting mitochondrial membrane. Selenium is used in proteins which keep hydrogen peroxide from causing oxidative damage to proteins and is used in the thyroid as an integral part of processing iodide form of iodine. Also selenium is also used in thyroid proteins to activate thyroid hormones directly interacting with iodine. Iodine is critical to the brain, and selenium also is critical for the brain via regulating anti-oxidant molecules that send signals to the brain, as well as by keeping the brain’s processing of oxygen from creating damage via oxidized proteins. So yeah, selenium is as magical and sacred to me as iodine nutrient and is definitely synergistic with iodine as selenium can directly interact with iodine in thyroid and we need to talk about that! Since I have the best iodine health supplement system, I’m extremely excited to present my finding regarding how selenium works synergistically with iMedDo:

    IMPORTANT FINDINGS ABOUT SELENIUM & IODINE:

    SELENIUM & IODIDE

    The use of iodide instead of nascent iodine creates more hydrogen peroxide in thyroid and thus is more critical that you get selenium if you are using Lugol’s or other iodide containing iodine instead of nascent iodine like NeuIodine. NeuIodine does not contain any iodide, as energized fat soluble molecular iodine I2 is used instead which is in equilibrium with nascent iodine which requires less energy and creates less oxidative damage in the thyroid to use, and that is most likely the reason why people prefer nascent iodine to older forms of iodine like Lugol’s which contain iodide.

    The enzyme in the thyroid that converts iodide to nascent iodine intermediate for organification into thyroid hormones is called thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and like the name sounds it creates peroxides (H202, hyrdogen peroxide) in the process. Selenium in the enzyme known as glutathione peroxidase (GPO) is able to get rid of the excess hydrogen peroxide by turning it into water before it can oxidize/damage surrounding proteins. The way selenium is used in GPO is very similar to how selenium is used in other seleno-proteins and revolved around sulphur chemistry where a protective molecule called glutathione with double bonded sulphur G-S-S-G (oxidized form) is converted to two molecules of reduced glutathione form GSH, GSH. Selenium proteins uses selenium instead of sulphur at an active site where selenium replaces sulphur in a cysteine amino acid using a selenocysteine instead.

    I know what I described sounds pretty complicated and it is. The main thing I want you to kn here is that selenium is used for sulfur chemistry and the sulphur chemistry is used for anti-oxidant chemistry to protect the thyroid from oxidative damage from the processing of iodide. That’s why selenium is thought of as an anti-oxidant which is technically incorrect but correct enough since selenium itself is not anti-oxidant, but selenium in GPO protein in complex system with glutathione oxidation and reduction using sulphur chemistry is an antioxidant in the sense that it controls hydrogen peroxide before it can cause oxidative damage since hydrogen peroxide can break down to form oxygen free radicals. Clear as mud?

    The body needs iodine and will get it any way it can. Iodide is the unenergized/reduced form of iodine which has to be oxidized, have an electron removed from it to form nascent iodine so that it can be used to make thyroid hormones.

    It’s not easy to oxidize iodine, so to oxidize iodide it requires well oxygen! Oxygen and Iodine are all very electronegative, and something even more electronegative than iodine is needed, and things like that are generally highly toxic like fluorine or cyanide! Oxygen is more electronegative than iodine. Selenium is not, and electronegativity decreased going down chalcogens so even though oxygen is same family as sulfur and selenium they are very different, where oxygen is its own beast but sulfur and selenium are similar.

    So when you give you body iodide or when your body doesn’t have a fresh source of nascent iodine and has to recycle under-energized iodine (iodide form), then it still has to work hard to oxidize the iodide first before it can use it.

    This result in creation of hydrogen peroxide which can potentially cause oxidative damage to surrounding proteins, and that is why the body has a system of using selenoprotein (GPO) to handle the oxygen problem.

    SELENIUM & NASCENT IODINE

    Now that we known how selenium works in the first part of thyroid hormone production from iodide, it starts to become more clear why supplementing nascent iodine is better than supplementing iodide form of iodide.

    The reason is because the thyroid can use nascent iodine to create organified iodine in the thyroid hormones bypassing the energy intensive and hydrogen peroxide generating step of having to convert iodide into nascent iodine first.

    Also, by supplementing nascent iodine as energized molecular iodine (which is in equilibrium with nascent iodine) which is fat soluble, it bypasses other hard work the body has to do to process iodine into protective and anti-cancer iodo-lipids as the thyroid doesn’t have to work so hard to convert iodide water soluble form into a fat soluble form.

    SELENIUM AND THYROID HORMONE ACTIVATION

    The thyroid converts iodine in water soluble form (iodide) into fat soluble iodine containing thyroglobulin molecules called thyroid hormones which are used to deliver energized organified iodine throughout the body via blood. Oxidized/Energized Iodine is like Dune spice of the body is all valuable for some unknown reason related to metabolism. My thinking is that like oxygen, iodine is critical to respiration as an ultimate electron acceptor. It seems to me the body must have evolved to use iodine because of its chemical similarity to oxygen also as some kind of alternative ultimate electron acceptor, and that might explain why oxidized iodine (iodine capable of accepting electrons) is so valuable, and why iodide the reduced form of iodine is not valuable until/unless the body recycles it back to oxidize form(s). Nacent iodine is more oxidized than iodide. Anyway, once either nascent iodine, or iodide converted to nascent iodine is incorporated into thyroid hormones (T4 &T3), there is one thyroid hormone (T3) which is more biologically active than the other.

    Okay I know that was a lot but stay with me. Here is where selenium comes in again.

    There is a SECOND selenium containing protein in the thyroid known as thyroid de-iodinase that removes iodine! Why they heck would we want to remove iodine, the thyroid is supposed to be making iodine in packaged form to ship out to the body!

    It appears in the making of thyroid hormones cyclical proteins are used which put iodine all over a tyrosine amino acid in different positions, and the extra iodines have to be later removed to make most activate the thyroid hormone. The thyroid hormone made with three iodines on it (T3) is more biologically active than the one with four iodines on it (T4). So, the body needs a way to REMOVE one iodine and the way it does it is with a selenium protein called thyroxine de-iodinase (DI). DI is the most terrible abbreviation as it sounds like DIE which is a terrible name for what is going on here as it should be called LIVE instead! Because what is going on is that thyroid hormones are being activated, metabolism increases, life increases is the opposite of dying! It’s living! Yes it seems backwards because removing an iodine to activate rest of the tri-iodine containing thyroid hormone but that’s just the way it works. For more information about thyroid physiology with some additional complexity going on here than I’m telling you about check out this 2022 review paper: Physiology, Thyroid Hormone.

    SUMMARY:

    There are two selenium containing enzymes used in the thyroid in the processing of iodine:

    1. Glutathione Peroxidase (GPO)
    2. Thyroxine de-iodinase (DI), my abbreviation (LIVE)

    The first (GPO) is used to process iodide form of iodine, and the second (DI/”LIVE”) is used to interact with organified iodine directly by removal ultimately turning T4 into more active T3 form.

    Selenium is useful for both keeping hydrogen peroxide in check and is also useful in protein which directly interacts with iodine so selenium is pretty darn important!

    I postulate that using nascent iodine instead of iodide helps people who are both iodine & selenium deficient because it doesn’t stress the GPO pathway like using iodide does. By not using iodide and getting iodine in nascent form instead you have less potential for oxidative damage in thyroid and if you are selenium deficient, the selenium available can be preferentially used for LIVE pathway instead of GPO pathway.

    IODINE VS SELENIUM DEFICIENCY

    Most people are not selenium deficient, but most people are iodine deficient. So my old approach was just to give people nascent iodine and not worry about selenium levels. My thinking is that even if you are low on selenium that by getting nascent iodine will take the stress off GPO pathway in thyroid so what selenium you have can go towards activating thyroid hormones LIVE pathway.

    Looking at the science, it looks like you CAN GIVE IODINE without selenium no problem (what I do) but you SHOULD NOT give selenium without iodine UNLESS you are doing so under guidance. So either do iodine or do iodine + selenium but don’t do selenium without iodine unless you are doing so under guidance of a skilled healthcare practitioner who is monitoring your selenium levels to make sure not get too high.

    SELENIUM IN NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

    I talked to Dr Amanda Prado ND and Dr Becky Cootes-Kimbley ND, skilled naturopathic doctors who already use iMedDo in their practice. I was impressed to learn that in naturopathic medicine they have a protocol for using selenium with vitamin C and E to pre-game iodine detox. This was a bit shocking to me at first because my position is to only use selenium if you are already using iodine so I wanted to investigate a bit further so I can comment on this as is no doubt a question that many naturopathic doctors have, and special thanks to Dr Becky for asking me to comment more on this.

    The issue is that with older forms of iodine like Lugol’s it was well known that detox reactions could be a problem (headaches, nausea, acne etc), so the idea of doing something to pre-game the detox so there are less toxins to flush out and thus less detox reactions makes complete sense to me, and the fact that naturopaths developed a great protocol using selenium before using iodine is very interesting.

    The difference now is that by using Nascent Iodine instead of Lugol’s and by using the nascent iodine in system with colloidal silver and gold that the detox reactions can be minimized already so there is less of a need for a pre-game detox.

    So the question is do naturopathic doctors using NeuIodine need to change or re-evaluate their selenium protocol when using iMedDo? I don’t think so, there is no problem using selenium or vitamin C or vitamin E before, during or after using NeuIodine.

    I think naturopaths and other skilled medical professionals as well in other fields of alternative medicine will all notice that detox reactions are MUCH reduced when using iMedDo System so their older anti-detox anti-herx reaction protocols which are still great are less needed but by still doing them on top of using iMedDo will just be even better.

    So I stand by my general position that you need to give iodine for detox not selenium but if you do give selenium you need to also give iodine, but I’ve updated my position to acknowledge that some fields of medicine (naturopaths) have protocols using selenium before iodine, but it’s okay (but only because is being done under skilled guidance).

    And my position is that when you do iodine you need to do nascent iodine! (And whenever you do nascent iodine the best way to do that is in a system with silver and gold!).

    It’s okay to get iodide but if you do your body has to work harder, and needs more selenium to do it!!!

    So if you are supplementing iodide you need to also supplement selenium!

    If you are supplementing nascent iodine it is less critical that you supplement selenium.

    BUT YOU STILL NEED SELENIUM EITHER WAY

    Because even if you don’t need it for GPO pathway in thyroid you still need it for LIVE pathway in thyroid!

    DR BENGO’S OFFICIAL IMEDDO POSITION ON SELENIUM SUPPLEMENTATION

    Yes, I support selenium supplementation as part of your regular diet and MULTIVITAMIN regime. I’ve always advocated that everyone doing iMedDo system should also be talking a multivitamin to go with it. Every multivitamin has some selenium in it. However, I’ve been frustrated for many years because I didn’t have a GREAT multivitamin to recommend to people when they ask but now I do, so I hope you listen to me and do it as upon researching selenium you will find that it is highly synergistic with iMedDo detox system. I endorse and recommend and am a distributor now for and offer as an elite multivitamin to iMedDo Distributors at 25% off, the Power Source One multivitamin designed by DrCalinPopMD the famous internal medicine doctor who also convinced me that nano-colloidal silver and gold are safe for the human body. Turns out he’s spend the last 10+ years designing a multivitamin which if you analyze what’s in it is like talking an advanced course on nutrition as you will find he’s got all the right vitamins in most bioavailable form, so let’s check out what he put in there for selenium:

    Looking at the bottle it says the selenium in there is 50% L-seleno-methionine and 50% sodium selenate 250 mcg 455% in 8 pills. He chose to use both organic and inorganic forms of selenium which are both known to be effective and his dosing is actually quite sophisticated as though he is recommending almost 5x higher dose of selenium than the RDA (455%), it’s easy to customize the dosage, like 4 pills for half dose, 2 pills for quarter dose, 1 pill for 1/8 dose, so if very amenable for dose rationing and many people like to muscle test for the vitamin dose they need. People should try full 8 pills for first few days when using the power source one multivitamins just to get replete in all vitamins and minerals and then can customize dose depending on their diet and needs.

    No, I do not support selenium supplementation over and beyond what you get in diet and multivitamin UNLESS you are doing so under guidance. The reason is that too high selenium (1200+ mcg) starts to become toxic. There is a gray area in the 300-600 mcg range where there seems to be a benefit to selenium supplementation, but you do not want to go there unless you are monitoring yourself closely or being monitored by a skilled healthcare professional. There are some groups of people who are at higher risk of selenium deficiency especially vegetarians or vegans since they don’t eat meat or fish so only source of selenium is plant based as many soils are selenium depleted. If you are vegan I recommend you talk to my vegan naturopathic doctor friend DrAmanda Prado ND who has experience using selenium. DrPrado recently informed me she is planning on writing a book course about her clinical experience using iMedDo system with NeuIodine nascent iodine, and has asked me to write a section to introduce her course which I’m planning to unveil for next episode so stay tuned.

    SELENIUM & MERCURY DETOX

    I wrote about mercury detox month before last from amalgams, primarily talking about using silver and iodine to detox mercury but I did briefly mention selenium in the appendix, but now that we are talking about selenium in more detail, I need to expand on the topic. It turns out that mercury in the form in fish when present without selenium is even more toxic than mercury in amalgam fillings because it is in a methyl-mercury form which requires additional steps to detox. For more information on how methyl mercury form is eliminated see featured science article in mercury detox newsletter. I knew that silver and zinc helped with mercury, but what I didn’t fully realize until this article is that selenium is also important for mercury detox especially from mercury from fish sources. In fact it seems that the fish high in mercury are also generally high even higher in selenium and how selenium protects the fish from all that mercury is generally not considered as we are more focused on avoiding mercury than we are for getting selenium. But turns out selenium is critical for suppressing mercury as selenium is used in selenoproteins that like GPO that can suppress oxidative effect of mercury and in a different seleno-enyzme family called thioredoxin proteins that can repair oxidation of sulfides. I found a really well written article on the topic called Selenium and Mercury Fishing for Answers from which I want to share a quote from becaue it is so good:

    “Less than 30 years ago, scientists discovered the 21st amino acid selenocysteine. This amino acid is unique from the other 20 amino acids in that it contains selenium and it is required as the active component of selenoproteins. Scientists now know that selenium is essential for the normal function of 20-30 very important enzymes involved in numerous biological functions. The process of selenocysteine incorporation into proteins requires a complex system which is also regulated by selenoproteins. Remarkably, selenocysteine is the only amino acid that must be degraded and reformed during each cycle of selenoprotein synthesis. Selenide is released from selenocysteine when it is degraded, making it vulnerable to binding to heavy metals such as mercury because of its high binding affinity for these elements. Once bound to mercury, selenium is no longer available for selenoprotein synthesis. Therefore, if selenium is not replenished, selenoprotein synthesis cannot be maintained, and their related functions will be compromised.”

    Thinking about how selenium cycle interacts with other cycles like circadian rhythm cycle is very interesting but beyond the scope of this episode will save it for later. How mercury blocks selenium via selenide Se2- ion clicks with what I know about sulfur chemistry [compare to Sulfide S2- anion] and puts me very close to understanding something that I’ve been meditating on for many years which is why isn’t silver toxic, you would think it would be since it binds to sulfur and selenium like heavy metals mercury but mercury is toxic and silver is not, and selenium appears to be the key.

    SELENIUM SECRETS POINT ME TO THE MITOCHONDRIA

    Studying selenium in detail for this episode has been very exciting because it has forced me to review and meditate on some rather complicated biochemistry topics such as oxidative stress, cellular respiration, thyroid physiology and more to try to get a clear picture on selenium to present to you, and that clear picture points to the mitochondria which is the source of all human energy. What it really comes down to is that the secrets of how selenium, iodine, oxygen work, and even the secret of how silver works comes down to figuring out how energy is processed in the mitochondria. The mitochondrial membrane is an advanced biochemistry topic and I don’t expect you to understand it since I’m trained in advanced biochemistry, and I don’t fully understand it but I want to make a few comments of what do know. The way energy works in the body is that it converts from electrical from negative electrons to electrical from positively charged protons. So there there is a shift when thinking about energy from chemistry as pushing electrons around to biochemistry which is more about pushing hydrogen H+ around. One ancient way that H+ energy is stored and pushed around is in NADH molecules which are able to donate one H+. Looking at the diagram below you can see that NADH (H+ energy) from the citric acid cycle is used to created a proton gradient of H+ with more H+ in the outer compartment of the mitochondria which is then used to flow back in down its diffusion gradient and then is stored in a different type of energy in ATP as phosphate bond energy. Looking at the mitochondrial electron transport chain simplified as below (it’s really complicated!) what is clear to me is that the mitochondria is being used to AMPLIFY ENERGY. One H+ as energy (in NADH having been created by the citric acid cycle) is turned in 2-3 protons (H+) of energy and oxygen is required for this amplification. There is a lot that can go wrong here because if something like a heavy metal disrupts the membrane then electrons on their way towards oxygen acceptor can get loose (leaky electrons) and damage the membrane which normally results in cell death (apoptosis) but sometimes results in cancer if the cell adapts to being able to make energy without oxygen using a less efficient pathway. One theory is that cancer cells just use NADH (H+ energy) without amplifying it, or that they use an older anaerobic bacterial pathway (mitochondria evolved from enclosed bacteria). Both selenium and iodine and oxygen and silver kill cancer [also gold kills cancer but wasn’t clear to me how gold and selenium interact so not talking about in this episode], and the reason seems to be that selenium and iodine protect the mitochondrial membrane of normal cells but help hasten the destruction of cancer cells possibly by choking them of oxygen so they cannot amplify energy and have to initiate cell death (apoptosis). Iodine can selectively help noncancer cells and kill cancer cells. Oxygen status is an important signal since normal mitochondria with nondamaged membranes can utilize oxygen whereas as damaged mitochondria cannot or do so less efficiently and with more oxidative damage to their membranes. Selenium is used in de-iodinase proteins that activate thyroid hormones which send the signal for more energy resulting in increased mitrochondrial energy amplification and oxygen use. Cells that can’t keep up either have to die or become cancer cells, and in the presence of mitochondrial membrane protecting selenium they are more likely to keep up. I think I read papers indicating it was inorganic selenium doing this which different from later use of selenium with iodine. Somewhere in the mitochondria iodine is being used for an alternative energy pathway pathway possibly as an alternative energy pathway which is used for signaling as to which cells are cancerous and which are not since only the non-cancerous cells can utilize oxygen, in same way only non-cancerous cells can utilize iodine when oxygen is missing.

    SELENIUM FEATURED SCIENCE ARTICLES

    The most interesting thing learned about selenium if I had to pick just one thing is that when eukaryotic cells split from prokaryotic cells to have mitochondria that they also started using iodine around that time. I got this key piece of information from must read article: Selenium, the element of the moon, in life on earth. It’s an excellent review article on selenium which has some great tables comparing selenoproteins in bacteria versus selenoproteins in mammalian cells. Yes, bacteria also used selenium, but a key change from prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells is that now the selenium is involved with iodine as bacteria do not have the de-iodinase DI/LIVE selenoproteins, but we as mammals do.

    Knowing that selenium chemistry is older than iodine chemistry is useful when thinking about thyroid function and how iodine and selenium work on the mitochondria.

    Iodine is known to increase metabolism which increases need for oxygen, i.e. has a positive effect on mitochondria.

    Selenium is also known to have a protective and increase effect on mitochondria.

    DrSircus has an impressive article about iodine, metabolism and oxygen that I found very useful when writing this article trying to figure how to explain to myself that iodine is an alternative energy pathway in the mitochondria. Also note DrSircus appears to me to be a selenium expert, and I noted that he has a book on selenium, and I recommend checking him out for my advanced readers.

    SILVER AND SELENIUM

    Silver you would think would be toxic to mitochondria because they are basically evolved from bacteria and silver kills bacteria BUT silver toxicity to mitochondria is negated by selenium! But neither iodine nor selenium negate silver toxicity to cancerous mitochondria. Silver is 400x more toxic to cancer cells than normal cells [personal communication from DrCalin Pop regarding a suppressed paper about silver and cancer].

    DrPop the designer of the selenium containing Power Source One multi-vitamin really knows his stuff regarding both silver and selenium, and when I asked him about selenium he sent me excepts from a book he is in the process of writing on the topic which is all about selenium anti-cancer uses, but I decided not to include any of the information as he has not published it yet (and may never publish it as is on a suppressed topic). But the take home message was clear. Selenium kills cancer. Silver kills cancer. My research on selenium for this article indicates to me that the overlapping reason has to do with mitochondrial physiology, a topic beyond the scope of this article that I hope to revisit in future newsletters.

    SELENIUM MANDALA

    Turns out selenium really is like the moon in that it is a mandala and like a silly scientist I almost drove myself crazy trying to understand everything about it but the more I learned the more I recognized that there is to learn as it is infinite in scope. Fortunately, I have a lot of experience with mandala’s and the correct thing to do is to stop and admire it for its beauty and the recognize that the beauty you are looking at is a reflection of yourself. The way to use a mandala is as a spirit mirror to send love to yourself.

    When you look at life as a biochemist you start to love not just humans but all life as we are all more similar than different all using DNA from human to insect we are more similar than different. And that’s not a pleasant feeling at first to recognize that in the eyes of God you are not that different from an insect lol, until you realize the eyes are your own eyes as you are the one with consciousness who is doing the looking and you are wise enough to discern that you are different and wise enough to see that you are the same.

    FINAL THOUGHTS

    To understand selenium you must realize that it’s a chalcogen like oxygen and sulphur. As such it can accept electrons and serves as a counterpart to energy production which produces protons. Iodine is known to react similarly as oxygen though it is not a chalcogen because it like oxygen is electronegative and can accept electrons. It seems to me that iodine evolved alongside selenium as sort of alternative energy pathway to oxygen, which is different somehow from either normal oxygen respiration and different from anaerobic respiration. Figuring out how this works at the mitochondria is the key to understanding why both iodine and selenium kill cancer. It’s also the key to understanding why silver kills cancer. Oxygen is known to kill cancer, presumably in my old way of thinking because cancer become anaerobic escaping normal oxygen respiration. But new studies postulate that cancer makes use of a different energy pathway using protons (NADPH) as energy. From my perspective this is just using an older energy pathway going back to bacteria, and that is why silver kills cancer as it disrupts the cancer oxygen metabolism. Iodine is known to selectively help non-cancer derived cells while killing cancer cells. Iodine seems to me to be a fancy alternative to oxygen in an energy pathway and selenium seems to me to be a fancy alternative to sulfur also in an energy pathway. Whereas sulfur and selenium energy pathways have been around since the dawn of life, it appears that usage of selenium to process iodine in a new energy pathway has only been around since eukaryotic life split from prokaryotic life and is somehow necessary to regulate mitochondria and mitochondrial metabolism. Selenium is synergistic with silver and iodine in detoxing mercury. Many cancers are from mercury toxicity and this could explain in part why selenium is anti-cancer. The brain sends signal for more energy to thyroid which sends signal via iodine containing thyroid hormones to make more mitochondria. Selenium also is used to activate thyroid hormones amplifying the signal and selenium on its on also protects and amplifies mitochondria. Selenium in selenoproteins to protect to protect from oxidative damage from the increased oxygen metabolism, and selenium in selenoproteins is used to protect from oxidative damage from iodide usage.

    APPENDIX: NIH FACT SHEET

    For some additional basic mainstream information about selenium can look at the NIH fact sheet. Its got the basic selenium dietary recommendations, and has some good basic info about selenium which is very useful if you can read in between the lines. NIH mentions selenium usage for cancer, thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. As you can tell from it selenium is a broad topic, I only talked some about thyroid and cancer in this article and didn’t even scratch the surface on the cardio and brain topics. Since I’m a neuroscientist I will at least comment:

    APPENDIX: SELENIUM NEUROSCIENCE

    The brain uses a lot of oxygen metabolism and definitely relies on selenoproteins (brain glutathione peroxidase GPO) for anti-oxidant protection. I saw a paper that hydrogen peroxide itself is a signaling molecule which adds extra level of complexity of what selenoprotein GPO is actually doing when it is converting hydrogen peroxide to water its also involved in a signaling pathway. We already know the brain communicates with the body for more energy ultimately asking for increased mitochondrial function via way of what is known as the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid axis where brain communicates with TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) to tell the thyroid to create more T4 iodine storage molecule which is predominantly activated into T3 by thyroxine de-iodinase (DI/LiVE) selenoproteins where the brain is using iodine to convey energy and also to control metabolism and be responsive to stress. So endocrinology overlaps with neuroscience when it comes to looking at selenium but they all miss the picture if they don’t study biochemistry of the mitochondria which is where my studies as a neuroscient who is an iodine scientist who is a biochemist and biophysicist has finally led me to for this article. Looking at selenium and how it works with GPO with glutathione I did make an interesting discovery: that glutathione is not just a molecule about molecular stress, it’s actually also a neurotransmitter.

    APPENDIX: GLUTATHIONE NEUROTRANSMITTER

    There are signaling molecules everywhere, and I noticed that the glutamate on glutathione which is one of the co-substrates along with hydrogen peroxide of the GPO selenoprotein is itself a neurotransmitter and can bind to the NMDA receptor. Glutamate is a tri-peptide with a backwards glutamate and a cysteine and a glycine. I noticed last month when writing about lead detox and presenting my theory on how lead ions can interfere with NMDA receptor that the NMDA receptor whose agonist is glutamate also has a glycine modulating domain. Glutathione, with a backwards glutamate on one side and a glycine on the other side looked to me like a neurotransmitter. Sure enough I found a paper confirming that glutathione is an agonist of the NMDA receptor. So now we can see how glutathione depending on differences in its middle amino acid be it as reduced glutathione or oxidized glutathione or selenoglutathione or methlselenoglutathione etc can communicate with brain to prevent or cause neural death. Glutathione is known to have a protective effect on NMDA receptor. I saw an article by DrSircus that selenoglutathione is a potent anti-cancer molecule. Also, I known that glutathione coated silver and gold nanoparticles are potent anti-cancer molecules. Glutathione as a signal of oxidative stress is a way that anti-cancer signals can be communicated to the brain be they using selenium, or silver or gold. This is definitely a topic that deserves its own newsletter in the future.

    APPENDIX: SELENIUM AND GOLD

    I think gold is protecting +2 charged pathways of calcium, magnesium and zing +2 ions a hypothesis I discussed in detail in last month’s episode on lead detox.

    Sulphur and Selenium reduced down to S2- and Se2- and could be the corresponding anion protectors of the +2 pathway.

    So my first pass guess is that selenium is used instead of or in addition to sulphur as the protecting anion 2- for the important +2 pathways of Calcium, Zinc and Magnesium ions.

    If this is true then the gold and selenium are similar in that they are both protectants against toxic ions from mucking up the +2 charged dependent signaling pathways.

    If this hypothesis is true it could explain why too much selenium is toxic. Unlike neutrally charged gold that protects the pathway in my lead detox hypothesis by bumping out topic +2 lead ions by size not charge without interfering with the +2 ions, selenium would/could bind to a toxic +2 charged ion like lead as Se2- which is great for detox but also too much selenium 2- would interfere with Ca2+, Zn2+, Mg2+ ions and toxicity would result from interfering with the signaling by forming CaSe, ZnSe, MgSe salts.

    I have to do more research to determine how gold interacts with selenium but it seems most plausible with my current knowledge that interaction occurs at least in metallothionein proteins.

    APPENDIX: WHY IS SELENIUM NAMED AFTER THE MOON?

    Blame the Swedish “father of chemistry” Baron Physician Chemist Jons Jacob Berzelius who like to name the elements he discovered after Gods and Goddesses. He also named the element Thorium after the Norse Thunder God Thor which is pretty cool. Naming elements after gods is not a new trend as Mercury the heavy metal is named after the Roman messenger god for example. The official story of how Selenium element got its name is that since Tellurium another chalcogen element which was recently discovered was named after the earth (Latin: Tellus earth), that Baron Berzelius decided to name his newly discovered element which had similar properties to it after the Moon. Why he picked Greek goddess Selene for Selenium instead of Roman Luna or Swedish Mane is clear to me as a chemist as Selenium sounds a lot better than either Lunium or Manium and is nice Selenium starts with an S since it has similar properties to Sulfur another S word. Because the element selenium was discovered in red form but also can be in black or gray forms kinda like the moon can be a blood moon or an eclipsed moon or a silver moon, a fickle changing compound, it makes sense to name it after the moon. After having meditated on selenium now myself, he was spot on naming it after the moon as the moon is a mandala, and selenium is also a mandala as it reflects on the origin of life itself by reflection on energy pathways of oxygen and iodine as I explained in episode.

    APPENDIX: SELENE GREEK MOON GODDESS

    Selenium is named after Selene the moon in female goddess personification. Selene as a female/goddess (God Isis) personification of the moon (Roman Luna) was depicted in Greco-Roman with crescent horns, flowing billowing robes and carrying a torch. Also she was frequently depicted on a chariot being drawn by horses as was the custom for both sun and moon. All of her symbols are very obvious to me, the crescent horns are because the moon on partial full moon can look like a crescent. The billowing robes are actually not the moon itself but rather are a Milky Way reference (MW ref), and the torch makes complete sense because the moon is like a torch in the sky which lights up the night . The moon hides the milky way just as the splendor of the moon hides the splendor of the torch of the milky way except on new (crescent) moon when you can see the billowing robes of the milky way in as a Goddess (MW ref). The female goddess MW ref was the predominant MW ref of the Phonecians/Punic/Carthagenians that the Romans split from. As such Juno was given a more sinister light from which her torches lighting up crossroads for Hecate lead to myths of the Devil hanging out at crossroads in Christian mythology. The moon is a crossroads which can either reflect you back down to earth or which can take you on the golden road (MW ref) straight up to heaven or down to hell depending on your astrotheology. The moon, like the milky way, is a mandala mirror used for seeing your own reflection in the heavens, but whether you see something you like or a monster (Moon Star) can change in a most fickle nature like the moon changes shapes. Fun fact, did you know that in early Manichean Christianity, it was the moon that was Jesus not the sun, then later in Romanized Christianity Jesus became a solar god. But the lunar aspects of Jesus are still very obvious phonetically if you note that Ja = Moon and Je-Sus and Ja-Zeus or Ja-ISIS as supreme male or female gods in greco-roman religion. So the attributes of the Lunar Savior and the Lunar Goddess are one and the same to me, so whether you find Silver or Selenium Sacred, or both as I do you won’t regret meditating on both. Selenium the element much like the moon can change from being a poison into being most healthful nutrient but requires the snake of wisdom to discern the difference. In Norse mythology the Eye of Odin (Compare to word “Iodine”) a pineal reference and an iodine reference via third eye astrotheology reference is the missing key. The psyche i.e. the psychic key is iodine with whose detox poisons like selenium turn into vital nutrients, and poisons like mercury and lead lose their ability to hurt you. May the blessing of the moon and the secret milky way light it hides and the reflected light of the sun be upon you! Namaste, DrBenGo Healthwarrior

  • MERCURY DETOX

    by DrBenGo Healthwarrior iMedDo.club/news September 2022

    Greetings iMedDo newsletter subscribers!   This month’s episode is about a topic that is at the heart of what the iMedDo Detox System is all about: how to safely detox mercury heavy metal  and kiss the toxic side effects of mercury induced iodine deficiency goodbye!  I recently went to a wonderful holistic fair in Ringgold, Georgia, the Natural New Earth Market (NNEM), and after talking to the locals what I discovered is that people in my area are really still suffering from mercury poisoning:  a lady I met with thyroid problems had 3 metal fillings, a man with prostate cancer had 11 metal fillings for example.  I do a good job explaining to people in person at fairs how and why their mercury amalgam fillings leaking and giving them mercury poisoning is the underlying cause of their health problems which are the same as iodine deficiency problems (thyroid disease, cancer, fatigue, headaches etc), but I realized I need to write a newsletter on the topic of mercury detox for people who aren’t able to see me at a fair. Since I’m on a roll writing about aluminum detox last month, I might as well continue and write about mercury detox this month. iMedDo System is the safest and most effective way to detox mercury, and it’s time everyone knows, so help me spread the word as many people are still suffering and need help. Be the hero and bring your loved ones iMedDo Ultimate Fluoride & Heavy Metal [Mercury Removal!] Detox System!

    WHAT IS MERCURY?

    Mercury is element #80 on the periodic table. It’s a strange metal that has been known since ancient times that has a cool property that it is liquid at room temperature and it like to stick to itself. Mercury is very pretty as it looks like silver (and was named quicksilver) and “water-silver” i.e. hydrargyum from whence Hg symbol on periodic table derives. Mercury is NOT silver though and unfortunately, unlike real silver, mercury is very toxic. In fact of all the toxic heavy metals mercury is the most toxic tied only in toxicity perhaps by lead.

    MERCURY POISONING SONG

    If you haven’t heard it, there is a song about mercury poisoning by artist Graham Parker which is surprisingly good. He’s right mercury poisoning is the “best kept secret in the west” (western medicine). Fortunately, I know how to detox mercury and I’m willing to share this secret in this episode so enjoy! Although Graham probably made the song when he was disgruntled with Mercury records, it’s a great mood song for talking about mercury detox. The alchemical symbol for mercury looks like an ankh with horns on top and I put a skull & crossbones in it in the cover art to indicate that mercury is poisonous.

    IMEDDO MERCURY DETOX

    If you have or had even one mercury amalgam filling in your mouth then all you have to do to detox mercury is to use iMedDo Detox System using NeuIodine, NeuSilver & NeuGold with one modification which is that add EXTRA SILVER in proportion to the number of fillings in your mouth. Normally you do 1 drop NeuSilver a day, and all you have to do is add 1 extra drop NeuSilver a day per metal filling in your mouth. So for example if you have 4 metal fillings in your mouth instead of 1 drop NeuSilver a day you would do 5. If you do have 6 or more fillings (doing 7 drops of NeuSilver a day) i.e. high dose range of silver 7-10+ drops then you also need to do probiotics. Normally you do 1 drop NeuGold a day, and some days you may need to do 3 additional drops NeuGold under your tongue to suppress mercury headaches. Use NeuIodine as per usual where you start with 1 drop a day and then increase by 1 drop per week to 2 drops for men and 4 drops for women. An important point is to always absorb the NeuIodine on your skin as per usual (do not put it in your mouth if you have amalgam fillings). By using iMedDo detox system, you will start to detox mercury faster than mercury is leaking out from your fillings and your health will start to improve as effects of mercury poisoning will recede. For mercury detox if you have questions please schedule free appointment with me at link iMedDo.club/book and I’m happy to go over custom dosing issues such as increased silver for your mercury amalgam count. Extra silver for mercury poisoning and at time useful to do extra gold for mercury headaches is the main thing, clear as mud? Do not take extra iodine for mercury poisoning as you need to start low and do dose ramping as per usual.

    IMEDDO THEORY OF MERCURY DETOX EXPLAINED SIMPLY

    Rather than use chelation therapy to flush out mercury from the urine, iMedDo system uses a sophisticated iodine nutrient replenishment system based around nascent iodine to flush mercury out of the body in a natural and safely way. Iodine flushes mercury out of the urine as well as mercury comes out of the skin and gastro-intestinal tract. [Pee it out, poop it out and sweat out the mercury!]. iMedDo system uses nascent iodine in microgram doses (not mg doses of iodine and not iodide form as used in some other iodine therapy protocols. Nascent iodine is effective in small doses and can be used for dose ramping which is important when detoxing mercury. Practically speaking iodine dosage should not be increased too much as you do not want to detox mercury too fast because it is so toxic it can damage the body and brain on the way out if. The iMedDo way is to use highest quality colloidal silver and colloidal gold in a system with the nascent iodine because the silver is anti-inflammatory in the body and the gold anti-inflammatory in the brain to protect the body and brain from mercury toxicity. Iodine does the heavy lifting for mercury removal and silver protects the kidneys for example which is very important when peeing out mercury. Mercury is known to cause inflammation headaches and brain damage which can be negated by taking colloidal gold. 3 drops NeuGold for example will make a mercury inflammation headache go down within by 50% or completely go away in under 5 minutes if the drops are under the tongue or down within 20 minutes if the gold is drank in water. Another common side effect of detoxing mercury with iodine was that mercury would come out of the skin and cause dermatitis such as acne. Silver can be used in a silver water spray to suppress acne which is in part because silver is also anti-bacterial as well as anti-inflammatory. By using silver and gold with iodine, mercury can be detoxed safely with iMedDo System.

    The iMedDo system uses the theory that SILVER IS THE DIRECT ANTIDOTE TO MERCURY. Whereas mercury suppresses the immune system, promotes infection and causes inflammation, silver does the opposite, boosts the immune system, squashes infection and is anti-inflammatory.

    The observation that silver is anti-dote to mercury is I believe well known to dentists as they create an amalgam of 50% silver and 50% mercury to make the mercury amalgam “silver” filling on purpose because they know that silver suppresses the toxic effects of mercury at least at first. If they put pure mercury in your mouth the body would reject but by mixing the mercury with the antidote silver in the mercury amalgam filling it takes a year or two for enough mercury to leak out and start causing health problem and the obvious solution is to just TAKE MORE SILVER!

    iMedDo system creator DrBenGo (me) has direct personal first hand experience that silver suppresses mercury toxicity because I have one mercury amalgam filling and have done self experimentation to prove to myself that silver does in fact suppress mercury poisoning for dermatitis/acne. If I stop using my silver for about 2 weeks acne problems from leaked filling resume and if I start using silver again they almost immediately go away again. For acne silver can be used 1 drop of NeuSilver in a spray bottle of water up to 1/2 gallon and sprayed on skin to suppress acne as silver is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory and is well known to be able to be used on bandages or bandaids topical in mainstream medicine, but the breakthrough is using food grade nano-colloidal silver internally appears to have much greater effect from my personal experience as well as from experience of those who have tried iMedDo system (created circa 2015).

    Based on theory that silver is the direct antidote to mercury, the iMedDo way is to recommend that those with mercury amalgam fillings take EXTRA SILVER. More research is needed to figure out how much extra, but for now the general guideline created by DrBenGo of doing 1 extra drop of NeuSilver per mercury amalgam fillings appears to be working well and linear increase in silver antidote dose is reasonable to counteract mercury toxicity increase which is known to be linear with number of amalgams in mouth.

    MERCURY AMALGAM REMOVAL TIPS

    As long as you have even one amalgam filling in your mouth you will not be able to fully mercury detox, all you can do is suppress the toxic effect of mercury using silver, suppress the toxic brain effects of mercury using gold and start to flush mercury out of body reducing body burden faster than it is leaking out using nascent iodine. iMedDo detox system is truly excellent at mercury detox and your health will start improving whether you get the amalgam filling removed or not, and I recommend you detox more even after getting the amalgams removed to get rid of residual mercury in the body and is important to detox in between getting amalgams removed and recommended that if you have multiple amalgam fillings that you only remove them a few at a time and detox in between spaced out with months of detox. Dentists put the mercury poison in your mouth, so is understandable to not trust a dentist to take them out, however, we have little choice so find a good bio-identical dentist who does not use fluoride or mercury and who specializes in removing mercury. The best test of whether your dentist is good or not is whether they use iMedDo detox system for themselves to protect them from mercury when removing it and and whether they are recommending to their patients who are getting amalgam fillings removed to detox mercury using iMedDo in between getting fillings removed. I recommend you do iMedDo Detox which is a 6 month supply for at least 3 months prior to getting amalgams removed and do at least 1-3 months of detox in between each filling removal (only get 1-3 fillings removed at a time space it out and detox in between for people with many fillings), and you will need to detox for approximately 2 years to fully get all the mercury out of your body once all of you fillings are gone, most of it will be gone after only 6 months, so at least do iMedDo system once even if all your fillings are already gone.

    FEATURED MERCURY DETOX SCIENCE ARTICLE

    I found a great review article that really helps to explain the different forms of mercury poisoning and pulls together quite a bit of information into one place that is useful for further meditation by the reader if they so desire on mercury detox: 

    Bernhoft RA. Mercury toxicity and treatment: a review of the literature. J Environ Public Health. 2012.

    Although the paper only discusses chelation therapy for mercury removal and not iodine therapy for mercury removal, it is good for explaining the different types of mercury and mercury break down products in the body. Amalgam fillings leak elemental mercury in vapor form which absorb in lungs (you breath in mercury from your own breath ouch!) and which readily enters bloodstream and brain. The leaked mercury from amalgam fillings eventually predominantly oxidizes to mercuric salt form (Hg2+) and can get stuck and cause damage to the kidney bound to metallothionein until it is given a kick out (chelation or iodine therapy).

    DETOX OTHER SOURCES OF MERCURY: VACCINOSIS, CONTAMINATED FOOD, FLUORESCENT LIGHTS

    In this article I have addressed detox from mercury amalgam but did not have time to discuss other sources of mercury poisoning such as organified mercury (methyl mercury in fish and seafood) nor ethyl-mercury (thimerosal from vaccines (mercury vaccinosis)) nor mercury vapor from fluorescent light bulb breakage, but note these other ways of mercury exposure can also be detoxed by iMedDo System. Based on the featured article discussion of mercury in the body, you can see that organified mercury is even more toxic (methyl & ethyl mercury etc). Elemental mercury already absorbs in the fat and it bioaccumulates and biomagnifies up the food chain of fish when it is in methyl-mercury form. Eventually it has to be converted back to elemental mercury and then into a salt form like mercuric mercury (Hg2+) to be eliminated out of the body. The body uses excess iodine over what it needs for life support to detox mercury and other toxins so iodine nutrient replenishment is critical to recovering from all forms of mercury toxicity not just mercury from amalgam fillings. I had cousin injured with autism from thimerosal (ethyl-mercury) from a vaccine and if you or someone you love is having health problems from vaccinosis of any kind please contact me iMedDo.club/book so I can explain how iMedDo Detox System can help. A source of mercury I didn’t realize before writing this article is in broken fluorescent light bulbs leak mercury vapor (elemental mercury, so similar to mercury from amalgam but higher dose) and never put a baby in a room where a fluorescent light bulb has broken, even if you think you aired it out it might have critical level of mercury toxicity.

    SUMMARY:

    Mercury poisoning is way more common than you might realized, as around 50% of American’s have had their health negatively affects by mercury amalgam fillings. Many people you likely know are struggling in silence with a variety of problems like thyroid diseases, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer or having kidney problems or headaches, dermatitis and more from mercury toxicity. The #1 way people are being mercury poisoned is from amalgam fillings, so all you need to do to verify is look in their mouth. If even one mercury amalgam dental filling they will 100% guaranteed have mercury toxicity and iodine deficiency, no further testing is needed to know that. The solution is to iMedDo Detox System and eventually removal of the amalgams with further detox to get rid of all of the mercury, and note increased silver dosage is recommended based on number of amalgam fillings to immediately suppress mercury by protecting the body. Pretty much everyone I’ve met with amalgam fillings also complains of headaches [mercury induced inflammation headaches] and are very appreciative that NeuGold make the headaches go away immediately. Under appreciated is that silver is the direct anti-dote to mercury but you also have to use iodine in correct form, nascent iodine in system with silver & gold to flush out. Help me spread the word! iMedDo Detox System for Mercury Detox!

    APPENDIX MERCURY IN BREASTMILK

    It is recommended that women wanting to get pregnant should detox with iMedDo system for full 6 months before having a baby if they can to flush out all mercury from their system or to at least if they have amalgams get rid of all free mercury in their body. Reason is that mercury readily goes into brain of baby and in breast milk and can adversely affect their child. Pregnant women need to detox mercury and replenish with iodine, but if you didn’t the benefit of eating seafood and getting iodine in iMedDo System still outweighs not doing as the iodine and silver and gold will protect the baby even if there is mercury in the milk is okay as long as body has ample other nutrients to flush the mercury out. The brain has it’s own metallothionein proteins that can bind mercury and if you doing iMedDo baby will still be smart, just please ladies if you can try not to detox too much mercury into your baby. But you need to increase iodine dosage by 1 drop a week. Also check out my prior article breastmilk and multivitamins.

    APPENDIX: MERCURY DETOX THEORY A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED

    Mercury interferes with the metallothionein proteins in the body disrupting copper & zinc balance and part of the beneficial effects of silver and gold in protecting against mercury are theorized to be involved in metallothionein pathway recycling. Additionally mercury interferes with glutathione pathway and glutathione coating on silver & gold also aid in mercury detox. These are advanced topics beyond the scope of this article but I will comment a little or can skip this section for general readership. Whereas silver is the direct anti-dote to mercury, gold is the direct anti-dote to lead but still appears to have utility in protecting brain from mercury poison as evidenced by its ability to suppress mercury induced headaches, anxiety and mood problems. The idea is that by using silver & gold together you get a full body protection from mercury as it is being detoxed by iodine. Mercury is a full body poison capable of damaging proteins, blocking cell signaling, destroying neurons and more. Both silver and mercury are known to bind to sulphur and yet whereas mercury is extremely toxic, silver is extremely health beneficial which is why I postulate that silver is a nutrient in that is blocking toxic effects of mercury in some unknown biochemical pathways. Mercury as Hg2+ is likely interfering with at a minimum Zn2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ (zinc, calcium and magnesium) signaling in the body. Calcium and magnesium are known to be controlled by iodine and vitamin D, kidney, adrenal pathway, so beneficial effect of iodine in mercury removal is no surprise. Zinc however is used with copper in a balance and it is postulated that noble metals silver and gold are preferred nutrients to copper and can interact with and clear copper pathway such as zinc + copper in metallothionein protein balance that can be disrupted by mercury. Possibly copper disrupted by Mercurous form (Hg+) and Zinc disrupted by the predominant break down product from elemental mercury leakage from amalgam after oxidation into Hg2+ mercuric form. In writing this article, and thinking about mercury detox pathway theory, it is likely that taking addition ZINC would also be very beneficial for mercury detox, and be sure to read my prior article on zinc, where I also talk a bit about metallothionein (MT) protein, and for those who want to dig deeper also check out my prior article on copper for more meditation on the topic. I also have an article on magnesium, but regretfully have not yet written an article on calcium or selenium or sulphur (eventually I will) which are also required to really get to the bottom of mercury detox theory. In particular mercury is known to interfere with selenium and sulphur and amino acids cysteine such as high cysteine containing metallothionein (MT) very important to think about to understand the biochemical complexities of mercury detox as well as selenocysteine. Likely taking NAC health supplement (N-acetyl cysteine) i.e. the health supplement form of cysteine a precursor to glutathione is health beneficial for mercury detox but note iMedDo system users will already get glutathione from coating on the silver & gold. *Many other nutrients can take as well to help detox mercury in addition to iodine, silver & gold nutrients such as selenium, amino acids (cysteine & selenocyteine), zinc, magnesium and vitamin C. Good nutrition is always essential when detoxing. I personally use PowerSourceOne multivitamins from DrCalinPop in addition to iMedDo Detox System and make them available to iMedDo distributors as a specialty item contact me (healthwarrior@imeddo.com) if you want them.

    APPENDIX: MERCURY DETOX REQUIRES IODINE EXPERTISE

    The most knowledgeable iodine scientists in the world besides myself to the best of my knowledge are Dr Guy Abraham M.D. (now deceased) & Dr David Brownstein M.D.  I am the foremost expert on nascent iodine as evidenced by my paper on nascent iodine, and creation of the highest quality nascent iodine product NeuIodine, a revolutionary system of using nascent iodine the most safely and correctly with dose ramping and in system with colloidal silver and colloidal gold which has stood the test of time (since 2015) as being extremely effective and safe and is now the preferred way to use nascent iodine for true iodine connoisseurs.  I am telling you  iMedDo Detox System is the BEST BY FAR way to use nascent iodine (or any iodine!) to detox MERCURY especially chronic mercury exposure from mercury amalgam dental fillings.  The reason is that you cannot do iodine with iodide form in high mg (milligram doses) the way Dr Abraham and Dr Brownstein do it, because when it comes to detoxing mercury safely you need to instead use iodine, nascent iodine [psychic iodine!], not iodide form in microgram doses because you DO NOT WANT TO DETOX MERCURY TOO FAST!  

    For more information of how Dr Brownstein does iodine read his famous book “Iodine Why You Need It Why You Can’t Live Without It 5th Edition”.   

    It’s an excellent book and I refer to it frequently as he really does a great job talking about how iodine replenishment fixes a wide variety of auto-immune disease, cancer, detoxification, fatigue, and thyroid disease.   I just re-read the book hoping that he would have some good information specifically on mercury detox I could use in this article. Unfortunately, the book was more about breast cancer and bromine detox than mercury detox specifically but, it was still a very useful read as it contained MUCH very important information about iodine that is relevant to this episode as in order to detox mercury you need to really understand how iodine works because mercury causes iodine deficiency and ALL problems of low iodine can have underlying cause of mercury toxicity when metal amalgam fillings are present.   Dr Brownstein is a true iodine hero.  So it is with no joy that I inform you as his colleague now in the iodine expertise club where constructive criticism is necessary because YOU SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO DO IODINE the way Dr B describes in his book if you have mercury toxicity.   No I’m not gainsaying him exactly, I am agreeing with him as in his final thought he say something which is very relevant to mercury detox:

    “For individuals who are unusually sensitive to supplements and medications, I would recommend starting with a low dose of iodine and titrating the dose upward,” Dr Browstein (page 267 “Final Thoughts from Iodine Why You Need It Why You Can’t Live Without It 5th Edition). 

    APPENDIX: MERCURY TOXICITY MAKES YOU UNUSUALLY SENSITIVE & NEED DOSE RAMPING

    Who are these people who are unusually sensitive? Darn near 50% of people everyone with a mercury amalgam filling and mercury poisoning is unusually sensitive! DrBrownstein in his final thoughts is absolutely correct. His gut is telling him that there is a better way to do it than high dose iodine high up front. The correct way I assert is to use nascent iodine in microgram (not milligram) doses (and sans iodide) with dose ramping as in iMedDo System (NeuIodine). iMedDo System has built in dose ramping where men & women start at 1 drop then increase slowly to 2 for men and 4 for women.

    APPENDIX: MESSAGE TO DR BROWNSTEIN

    Dr Brownstein, if you are reading this, I love you; but here is what you need to know and say and put in your 6th edition: you really need to add a section on nascent iodine and dose ramping and add a section on mercury detox and in that section you need to talk about the iMedDo Detox System and you need to talk about how colloidal silver and colloidal gold need to be used with nascent iodine to detox mercury safely using microgram (not milligram) iodine doses so as not to detox mercury too fast.  Additional your section on iodism causing a metallic taste in mouth could be your high dose iodine being contaminated with mercury so be sure to test it for heavy metals, as my experience is that if your iodine is causing a metallic taste that you are not tasting the iodine but rather are tasting a metal (typically mercury from mercury amalgam filling, check your patient’s mouth for mercury).  NeuSilver, Colloidal silver does not cause a metallic taste, NeuGold colloidal gold does not cause a metallic taste.  MERCURY BEING FLUSHED OUT BY IODINE can causing the metallic taste!      

    APPENDIX: NO IODIDE IMPORTANT POINT

    For my readers: DrBrowstein recommends using mg doses of iodine + iodide.  The reason is because he is following in the footsteps of his mentor Dr Abraham who did it that way and they have a lot of data doing it that way which is great.  The problem is that iodide form cause heart palpitations and because he uses iodide he had to add some very interesting sections to his book about NIS (sodium iodide symporters)  and issues concerning TSH increasing when doing it his way which are not relevant when using nascent iodine instead sans iodide.  When using nascent iodine you don’t need iodide form, but it won’t hurt you if you get it under normal circumstances but for mercury toxicity I don’t recommend iodide. I’m used to getting strange looks for many years now as a nascent iodide expert my recommendation to just use NeuIodine rather than use Lugol’s with iodine + iodide is an important point. Iodide is the unenergized form of iodine which is water soluble in Lugol’s and when I made NeuIodine I specifically did not use iodide because energized nascent iodine does not like water, it is fat soluble, and I use alcohol not water solvent. This was a major shift and improvement in iodine usage as problems such as heart palpitations from iodide (typically from halogens being flushed out by iodide detox reaction like fluoride & bromide) can be avoided by using nascent iodine form of iodine instead of iodide containing iodine. Also, I think the section in DrB’s book on TSH level increasing after taking his iodine protocol is because there is iodide in it so naturally the body will produce more iodide import channels the sodium iodide symporters (NIS) that he talks about in his book. I’m not anti-iodide, I like iodide, the issue is that the body can under normal circumstances use iodide or iodine but in the case of mercury poisoning iodide unenergized form will not work as well, and experimenting with high doses of iodine and iodide is not a good idea in my opinion. The body needs energized nascent form of iodine which is effective and can make important cancer protective iodolipids even at low does with dose ramping.

    APPENDIX: NASCENT IODINE IS PSYCHIC IODINE

    Nascent iodine is the heir of “psychic” iodine which DrBrownstein does mention in his book as Atomidine form [now unavailable except as nascent iodine] by psychic Edgar Cayce in a reference to a patient testimonial (page 280). However, DrBrownstein acts surprised that microgram doses of this psychic iodine work as well as his mg doses of lesser quality iodine non-nascent iodine and says that such success is “very rare”. Nope it’s very common. “Psychic” iodine is now referred to as nascent iodine and its amplified power is well known among iodine connoisseurs. It has for many years (as long as I’ve been aware since circa 2014 at least) been known to be more effective more energized form of iodine that works better in lower doses. This gives nascent iodine ability to be used for dose ramping and can fulfill DrBrownstein’s recommendation: “For individuals who are unusually sensitive to supplements and medications, I would recommend starting with a low dose of iodine and tritrating the dose upward” Dr Brownstein. I first learned about nascent iodine from John & June Brookshire when I worked as head iodine scientist for Magnascent(tm) Iodine. I really took the time to get to the bottom of what does nascent iodine mean, and was able to show it using hi resolution spectroscopy (see my iodine paper and read intro where I talk about nascent iodine and give references). Note back then I was IMEDDO INC, the incorporated company, and now I’m iMedDo Foundation the unincorporated church. Learning about nascent iodine has been a spiritual journey and I’ve established my expertise in many ways including best discussion of using nascent iodine for thyroid quickening and third eye detox. I got my start with NeuIodine at Dallas psychic fair circa 2015, and the psychics love nascent iodine, and it and iMedDo System is always preferred by muscle testing over other forms of iodine. NeuIodine is absolutely the best nascent iodine especially for mercury poisoning, as I don’t recommend that people put it in their water and swish nor put it in their mouth (iodine will react with their mercury fillings detoxing too fast, skin absorption instead) and issues with taking iodine on empty stomach no longer apply when doing skin absorption of nascent iodine for people with metal fillings as extra safety feature built in to NeuIodine. Learning about nascent iodine is a spiritual journey and for me has been a personal one as well. I’m passionate about helping people detox mercury poison and breaking the curse of mercury upon their health.

    Namaste,
