				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Magnascent Iodine is identical to the iodine which the body produces for its own needs!</p>
<p>MAGNASCENT IODINE IS:</p>
<p>ANTIBACTERIAL</p>
<p>ANTI-VIRAL</p>
<p>ANTI-PARASITIC</p>
<p>100% SAFE &#8211; 100% NATURAL</p>
<p>SAFE ENOUGH EVEN FOR CHILDREN</p>
<p>Dr. David Brownstein, MD &#8211; &#8220;Iodine is the most misunderstood nutrient. After 17 years of practicing medicine, I can say that it is impossible to achieve your optimal health if you do not have adequate iodine levels. I have yet to see any item that is more important to promoting health or optimizing the function of the immune system than iodine.&#8221;</p>
<p>Having enough iodine in the body makes it less vulnerable to chemicals while it cleanses the body of any contaminants already absorbed. It is a crucial component of the detoxification process.</p>
<p>Every cell in the body needs iodine to function properly. A lack of iodine allows other halogens such as bromine and chlorine, to masquerade as iodine, causing harm to the body.</p>
<p>The correct amount of iodine in the body keeps you and your thyroid gland healthy.</p>
<p>An unhealthy thyroid gland can affect your entire body. If the thyroid gland cannot make enough hormones, many health problems can result.</p>
<p>Magnascent Iodine is iodine in the nascent state.</p>
<p>This ground-breaking product was discovered by an aerospace engineer in his search for an effective treatment for malaria. The forerunner of this iodine formula had been used extensively in the 1920&#8242;s and 1930&#8242;s.</p>
<p>Because of its importance, Iodine used to be in many of our foods, such as salt. Unfortunately, even in the salt the iodine evaporates with time making it an ineffective method for getting iodine into the body.</p>
<p>Iodine deficiency is a worldwide problem. The World Health organization has recognized that iodine deficiency is the world&#8217;s greatest single cause of preventable mental retardation. Studies have shown that neonatal mortality can be decreased by up to 50% when iodine deficiency is rectified.</p>
<p>Many physicians are finding nascent iodine is an extremely useful and powerful new tool in health care.</p>
<p>BENEFITS OF MAGNASCENT IODINE:</p>
<p>1. It is much easier for the thyroid to produce T-3 &amp; T-4 hormones.</p>
<p>2. Iodine is necessary for production of all the hormones of the body.</p>
<p>3. Iodine is also responsible for the normal formation of our glandular tissue in the breast, thyroid, ovary and prostate.</p>
<p>4. Nascent iodine is in the most effective chemical state for assisting your body in fighting infections, parasites, bacteria, and fungus.</p>
<p>5. It lowers the levels of estrogen in the body. High levels of estrogen can increase the chances of developing diseases of the breast.</p>
<p>6. Iodine elevates our pH levels. An alkaline environment in the body helps prevent common illnesses like colds and flu.</p>
<p>7. Magnascent Iodine is known for producing more energy for most people.</p>
<p>**I personally use this for myself and my daughter with great results! I have some in stock and I will ship anywhere in the US for free!!</p>]]></content:encoded>
