How? - Attacking you with foods that contain soy and chemicals that suppress testosterone levels. hormone disrupting chemicals have made their way into a variety of products, from cosmetics like sunscreen and toothpaste to plastic water bottles and thermal receipt ink.
Using the media, the economy, finances, race, fear and every other weapon they can to keep you in a constant state of stress. These environments and conditions drive up secretion of the stress hormone cortisol, which results in lower levels of the estrogen-desensitizing hormone progesterone. This relative increase in estrogen dominance is not good for either sex, but men are particularly affected by it.
Why? - Strong men inspire and lead others, protect those around them and most importantly, fight. Weak men follow.
Edit: Most insurances won't cover TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) but **will **cover testosterone if you're a woman Transitioning into a man. That's very telling.
I'm curious about Iodine, any feedback on Nascent Iodine versus Lugol's Iodine?
Good Q (heh!)… from what I’ve researched Nascent Iodine is from Cayce’s ‘energized’ Iodine, and from what I understand has very little Iodine per drop (at the micro gram level . We’re aiming for milligrams).
The goal is to saturate your tissues with Iodine, so the best form and very affordable is Lugols solution, Iodoral (basically the pill form of Lugols), and there are some other manufacturers as well, I think Biotics Research Iodizyme?.
I prefer Lugols solution 2% or 5%, it’s cheap and has both Iodine and Iodide (Iodine for body tissues, Iodide for the thyroid).
Dr Brownstein would recommend a daily intake of 25-50mg of Iodine (Lugols 2% solution, 10 drops = 25mg of Iodine).
This is just to supplement, you can get Iodine naturally, from seaweeds and from some good salts.
Ok thanks, I've heard that there are concerns with the seaweed as a lot of it comes from near Japan and may be contaminated (Fukushima possibly?) , do you know if there's truth to that? I also get the impression that you're not going to get anywhere near the amount you're talking about with just salt, it seems like people are relying solely on Lugol's.
I might end up trying both then, I don't think I've ever really had Iodine in my diet so I'd be interested to see if it has dramatic effects.
Any other major health recommendations? I do plan on getting a Berkey water filter in the near future and I'm trying to get more hardline with my dietary choices.
The good news about Iodine is you can test for it. I highly suggest going with a 24 hour loading test … the protocol is to ingest 50mg of Iodine (Iodorol tab usually) then collect your urine over 24 hours. The measure is how much Iodine is secreted etc. if you can pair it up with a Bromine test even better (halide group… Bromine will displace Iodine, and is toxic to you).
Find a doctor who can do this for you and then you can see where you are. You do need to supplement for this to be effective as well (Selenium, B2 and B5). There is an entire process in how Iodine gets used in the body, so it’s best to first measure where you are then go from there. Any excess Iodine in your system will be flushed out unless you have some rare genetic disorder (I can’t recall top of my head).
As far as seaweed from Japan, I’m not sure but there may be credence to it, you’ll need to find a reputable source. The issue is radioactive iodine, which isn’t good for you. I think the best course of action is to supplement Iodine, and with foods just eat for enjoyment.
Thanks, much appreciated!
I've been taking drops of Iodine daily for over a month after following some anons on the chans discussing it. Will report back on anything I notice.
Sounds good!
