Detoxadine®

USP-Grade Kosher certified vegetable glycerin, purified water [pH balanced], Pureodine™ processed USP resublimated Iodine (sea source)

What is Detoxadine®?

Detoxadine® is Global Healing Center's brand of standardized nano-colloidal nascent atomic iodine manufactured with a unique transformative bio-elemental matrix using a revolutionary process. This means that it will be gentler on your digestive system than other iodine supplements. There is no harsh burning or stinging feeling when using Detoxadine® topically. It is also vegan friendly, kosher-certified and halal-compliant. Detoxadine® is manufactured in a state-licensed facility that meets federal regulatory standards, is cGMP/HACCP-compliant and lab grade. (Raw elemental iodine is a controlled substance both at a State and Federal level.) The licensing, approvals and regulatory documentary procedures are exacting and costly.

Detoxadine® is a perfect fit with Global Healing Center's products and philosophy of natural health regeneration and well-being. The raw certified-USP grade iodine used to produce Detoxadine® is derived from all-natural deep-sea vegetatable sources. The deep sea source includes kelp and other deep sea vegetation. Deep sea source iodine is derived from sea vegetation that has been through a careful ash process that is calibrated to not flash off the iodine in the burning off of carbon-based adulterants (e.g. adulterant to pure minerals laden ash). Once the bulk mineral ash is obtained, along with other minerals which contain iodine, that mineral ash is then subjected to a multi-step process (that includes 'sublimation') that isolates iodine in its pure elemental crystaline form. The pure elemental crystaline form of iodine is extremely toxic in this state, but it is pure, unadulterated iodine, that has been derived from deep sea sources.

Why are most Iodine Supplements NOT Effective?

Because of its highly reactive nature, pure (mono-elemental) iodine is not found in nature per se', but is attached in combination with other elements as a compound. Some of these compounds are calcium + iodine, potassium + iodine or sodium + iodine as iodides or iodates. In these strongly bound forms, iodine has been shown to only have an approximate 20% absorption into the various tissues of the body, making them biologically inefficient forms of iodine supplementation. These natural mineral-combined (as rock deposits) and plant-linked/crosslinked bound forms of iodine, as iodides (and iodates), are typically so strongly bonded to other minerals and/or cross-linked to polysaccharides that the iodine is often rendered useless, meaning that the iodine molecule's ability to interact in the body is restricted. This means less absorption for you!

Why Is Detoxadine® So Different?

Nature's bound forms of iodine (as iodides and iodates) must first be separated, clarified and purified from the other binding components or impurities into a USP-grade (US Pharmaceutical), mono-elemental iodine (as certified USP resublimated iodine crystals). In this purified crystal form, iodine is a highly reactive and toxic substance. However, when purified USP iodine crystals are subjected to a proprietary process it becomes nano-colloidalized and transformed into a non-toxic form of elemental nascent atomic iodine (also referred to in some circles as monoatomic iodine), without the addition of iodides! The iodine/iodide-based products (e.g. Lugol's solutions... Iodoral, Iosol, Sea-Adine, Kent Marine, etc.) and their variations (both liquid and dried) have been so widely recommended because they were the best thing out there..... until Detoxadine®!

Detoxadine® provides a viable non-toxic source of elemental nascent atomic iodine that the body is able to efficiently turn into its own effective carrier (and tissue storage) mineral iodides for easy and safe utilization throughout the body. Finally there is a mono-element nascent atomic iodine product... called Detoxadine®! It's safe – so why not give the body what it needs, prefers and uses? Our nascent atomic iodine process has a transformative effect on the pure elemental iodine itself, making it non-toxic, non-irritating to tissues/mucosal linings, and more bio-available as an iodine matrix. Our product efficiently enters the blood stream and disperses throughout the body being converted into carrier iodides, then back to elemental iodine and then recombined with specific proteins into hormones, immune factors or as safe tissue stores of iodine for later use, especially during times of immune challenges, stress and trauma.

One of the most outstanding features of Detoxadine® is that it is the only true glycerite of nano-colloidal nascent atomic iodine available. This has major implications for dietary, topical and potential medical-based applications, as true glycerite colloids are much easier and less toxic (safer) in the body. Unlike a glycerated iodine and/or iodine/iodide, wherein glycerin is simply added as a final ingredient after the iodine has already been processed with another dissolvent (i.e. water, alcohol, hexane, chloroform, etc.) and that dissolvent has been drawn off, to which glycerin is then after added, – the USP-grade kosher -certified 100% vegetable glycerin used in making Detoxadine® is actually an integral part of the processing technology, making the former elemental iodine non-toxic and imparting astounding stability, preservability and versatility to the finished glycerite of iodine. At no time is the raw iodine subjected to direct heat, toxic chemical solvents or alcohol, as is typically done.

Very specialized equipment, much of it custom-crafted, is required for this unique process. There are steps and procedures that have never been done before in the specific iodine processing preparation, including the innovative protocols for sublimating/liquefying elemental iodine without a secondary iodide (i.e. potassium iodide).

This creates a hyper-agitated state of the sublimated/liquefied iodine solution at a molecular level that drives the detoxifying nano-colloidalization of the iodine matrix through a heightened energy state producing a non-toxic elemental glycerite of nascent atomic iodine. In other words, the process changes (i.e. transforms) the state of the specially-liquefied iodine matrix to a non-toxic form of elemental nascent atomic iodine without the addition of a secondary iodide.

What does this mean for you? The transformed elemental nascent atomic iodine is more efficiently utilized in the body than a typical iodine/iodide mix. In this transformative nano-colloidal state, Detoxadine® can safely be converted within the body into the various forms of carrier iodines (i.e. combined with calcium, sodium, potassium, etc.) unique to a body system. Each iodine carrying-mineral complex carries its iodine molecule to the part of the body it has an affinity for, to enrich those tissues. Where the thyroid is concerned, there is a very quick series of sequences in which the iodine in the mineral carrier complex is converted back to mono-elemental iodine and then immediately recombined, as an essential mineral element, with special protein configurations to form the thyroid hormones T-3 and T4. This means the body can more effectively use this supplemental nascent atomic iodine for all its essential functions.

Detoxadine® nascent atomic iodine is intended for human and animal uses as an excellent daily dietary supplement. Being an essential mineral for thyroid health, immunity and metabolic well-being, atomic iodine is also an important part of sound cardiovascular, liver, bone and CNS health. Iodine is the mineral basis of the HPT (Hypothalamus–Pituitary–Thyroid) Axis, and many believe that the HPT Axis is the underlying basis of the HPA (Hypothalamus–Pituitary–Adrenal) Axis. Proper thyroid and endocrine function are absolutely necessary for the body to perform at the peak of health.

Is taking an iodine supplement better than consuming it from food like kelp?

We strongly advocate consuming nutrients from whole (preferably organic) foods. Kelp and other sea vegetables are very nutritionally dense and a wonderful addition to the diet, particularly when they are free from additives and contaminants. Now, when it comes to trying to obtain an adequate intake of iodine for thyroid and immune support, we believe a nascent atomic iodine supplement probably works better for most people in terms of potency and absorption, not to mention they are more likely to take it regularly. The problem with iodine levels in foods is not only that an individual may not consume enough of these foods to appreciably increase tissue levels of iodine in the body, but the nature of a plant's linked and cross-linked pollysaccharides make it difficult for iodine to be adequately extracted by mastication/digestion from these plants.

This is especially the case for the seaweed variety of iodine-rich plants. Their cross-linked fiber is largely undigested and because of the highly cross-linked nature of the pollysaccharides that are bound to the iodine, the iodine that may be in high amounts in such plants, simply is not able to be digested from this form of highly structured fiber, and hence is not adequately digested from and absorbed into the body. It is an especially exacerbating problem where weak and/or immune challenged digestive systems are concerned, considering that individuals with such compromised digestive systems (and hence, immune systems) are the most needing of iodine loading of their tissues. A classical conundrum in deed. That said, the need for a safe, sustained and high enough daily intake level of iodine becomes an essential necessity, not a mere option or secondary choice. I'm very clear to those I confer with to do everything they can to eat iodine-rich foods and just as importantly, avoid chlorinated/flouridated water, bakery goods containing bromine, and flouride containing oral products as vigilantly as possible.

In my opinion, iodine deficiency of the population at large is the most serious nutritional deficiency facing not only Americans, but the world's population as a whole… and that makes for a pretty serious problem when all's said and considered!

What is Nascent, Atomic or Detoxified Iodine?

To gain a better understanding, lets start with the standard definitions of each term:

• Nascent: The definition of the word "Nascent" according to Merriam-Webster.com is: 1. Coming or having recently come into existence - beginning to develop 2. of, relating to, or being an atom or substance at the moment of its formation usually with the implication of greater reactivity than otherwise.
• Atomic: The definition of the word "Atomic" according to Wikipedia.com is: The smallest particle of a chemical element that retains its chemical properties.
• Detoxified: The definition of the word "Detoxified" according to TheFreeDictionary.com is: 1. To counteract or destroy the toxic properties of. 2. To remove the effects of poison from.

The word 'Nascent' means new, beginning, or just coming into existence. In regards to 'nascent iodine' it means, 'iodine that is in a 'new' ready-to-form, electromagnetic state. In other words, the so called high energy release state defined for 'nascent iodine' on a more simple and accurately described level means iodine that is in a pure 'elemental' (as opposed to 'molecular' or 'combined') state containing an odd number of electrons and thus is ready to combine quickly with any number of compounds, typically the base metals (K+, Ca, Na+, Mg, etc.), into endo-derived bio-iodides (as opposed to manufactured chemical iodides). Nascent iodine, can only be nascent if it is in a totally elemental state and has not been combined with a mineral to become a molecule of iodide, iodate, iodade, etc.

Detoxadine® processed elemental iodine and its resultant 'nascent iodine' appear to be one of very few 'nascent iodine' dietary supplements in the industry that more fully comply to the terminology and meaning of 'nascent.' If processed and produced correctly such as the case with Detoxadine®, nascent iodine can be considered to automatically be synonymous with 'atomic iodine,' if the term 'atomic' is contextually used as also meaning 'elemental.' Since Detoxadine® contains no toxic properties or poisons from iodine it can also be considered as "Detoxified".

The unique difference of Detoxadine® as opposed to other so called nascent or atomic iodine products is that the production process has a more meaningful stabilizing effect on the elemental iodine rendering it far more transformative in its effects than the other typical 'nascent iodine' products which can exhibit toxic effects on tissues (e.g. Cytotoxicity) if used in too high amounts per dose. Detoxadine will not exhibit toxic effects at similar doses, because it is a much more stablized (e.g. exhibiting threshold non-cytotoxic qualities) 'nascent atomic iodine.'

One of the things missing in the description for making Cayce/Atomidine is that alcohol and other minerals/materials are used in that process, which must also be carefully done as toxic outgassing can result during its making. Further, the finished liquid iodine matrix must be preserved with more alcohol, and also, the finished product is highly unstable as it cannot be exposed for any length of time to ambient atmosphere where it will re-sublimate, invert and may become a cytotoxic agent. Such is not the case with the Detoxadine® processed nascent atomic iodine product.

If I have allergies to Iodine is Detoxadine® safe?

For an individual who has a sensitivity and/or allergy to iodine or kelp this may be a sensitive issue. Is it the iodine content of kelp that the individual is sensitive to, or is it the polysaccharide matrix in which the iodine is bound that the individual is sensitive to. If it's the former, then all iodines should be used with great caution for these individuals, and if it's the latter, then the iodine in Detoxadine® might, and I repeat, "might," not be a problem. In either case, deferring to a natural physician, is the best course for the individual to take, and which I and my company must defer to for legal and regulatory reasons.

Caution: Hashimotos Thyroiditis and Graves patients should not take this without discussing it with their physicians. If you feel worse taking this product, stop.

Detoxadine® iodine content listed on the label is based on the actual 'iodine' element in the finished product. This is an important and essential point to consider when purchasing any detoxified nascent iodine product.

Place 3 drops on tongue and follow with a glass of purified water daily. 3 drops represents 2,694 mcg of iodine per application (dose) – 1,796% of the RDA for iodine. At 3 drops a day a bottle will last 3 months for one person.

WARNING: Individuals who have thyroid and/or cardio-vascular problems or are on any medications should consult with a physician before using Detoxadine® transformative nano-colloidal iodine matrix. Side effects and/or contraindications, if any, would generally be the same as that listed for any other supplemental use and/or topical use based iodine matrix preparation.
