Iodine, Iodate, iodide and the FarmaSea Blend

The most damaging effect of iodine deficiency is on the developing brain, and to a lesser degree, any brain. Thyroid hormone is particularly important for myelination of the central nervous system, which is most active in the perinatal period and during fetal and early postnatal development. Numerous population studies have correlated an iodine-deficient diet with increased incidence of mental retardation. A meta-analysis of 18 studies concluded that iodine deficiency alone lowered mean IQ scores by 13.5 points (Bleichrodt and Born, 1994). Iodized salt is a special case. With only a few isolated exceptions, edible salt (sodium chloride) does not naturally contain iodine. Either potassium iodide or potassium iodate is used to fortify salt in 98% of U.S. Households (only found in 3% of English Households). These compounds are Pharmaceutically manufactured by drug companies, in order to create “stability” but with a side effect of HYPO and HYPER, thyroidism, which has grown to now epidemic proportions since the 1930’s when they were instituted in the name of iodine by the WHO.
In addition to these effects on the individual, iodine deficiency has adverse consequences for the community. The mental retardation can cover a wide range, from mild blunting of intellect to full blown cretinism (see “Zombieland”), and a large part of the population may have some intellectual impairment. The mean IQ of the deficient community is decreased by at least 13.5 IQ points, according to one review. Individuals in these communities have lower educability and lower economic productivity, and the output of the whole community suffers. Dramatic improvement typically occurs after appropriate addition of vegetable, organic iodine, as found in the FarmaSea® Blend of Sea Plants (FBSP).

Other consequences of iodine deficiency are impaired reproductive outcome, increased childhood mortality, decreased educability, and economic stagnation.

NOTE by Scott Kennedy: There are 177 Mcg’s of iodine in one capsule of SuperSea Veg.  So in 3 capsules, there is 531 Mcg’s of VEGETABLE iodine.  The Government states that the Tolerable Upper Intake Level of (iodide/iodate in the salt) for adults is 1.1 mg/day (3 capsules has ½ of this, hence the 3-6 capsules/day suggested serving size.  

The Japanese ingest over 7.7 mgs of organic vegetable iodine EVERY DAY!  Their IQ is 15 pts higher than Americans across their population.  They so smart.

They are what they eat. Can you say electronics? They concentrate for long periods of time and pay attention to, and recognize, lots of parts, lots of details, lots of transistors, engine and car parts and have many new ideas. These are a signs of a higher IQ.

The secret is found in their DAILY diet, and also found in the FarmaSea® Blend of Sea Plants, contained in Super Sea Veg®, by FarmaSea® Health, LLC.  800-893-vegg (8344)
