Thank you for your time, Sndub]]> I would rather choose to be healthy then have rocking tits, but it would awesome if I could have my cake and eat it too. 

Thank you for your time, Sndub]]> <![CDATA[So you think you know Iron, copper and Zink?]]> https://www.breastnexum.com/showthread.php?tid=32220 Fri, 29 Nov 2024 10:44:08 +0000 Huggy]]> https://www.breastnexum.com/showthread.php?tid=32220 Before your eyes glaze over and you dismiss this as just more vitamins stuff?
Be aware that Zink has been proven to be helpful with protection and healing from a certain virus we all became so familiar with a couple of years ago?  And can even help with the side effects from that injection!
But I realise that this moves the conversation into territory not really the purview of this forum and will leave it there.  But if you should be interested in more information, please feel free to message me?  
 
So, lets get started.  To link Iron, Copper and Zink may seem a strange partnering?  But hang in there it will make sense.  As is the case with all supplements and nutrition, they do not work in isolation.  It is the way elements interact, that is key to understanding their function in our body and their true value. 
 
Obviously these notes are barely scratching the surface.  But hopefully will help you see that there is a lot more to nutrition and health than just popping a few pills. 
 
Iron:  
Iron is essential for the transport of Oxygen by the Red Blood Cells.
This may surprise you?  But the reality is that almost everyone, with the exception of perhaps heavy menstruation, or large blood losses (accident?) have too much Iron?  Adding Iron will only worsen the situation, as excess Iron is damaging to your Cardiovascular system.  And can cause inflammation just about everywhere!
 
As for Iron supplements, unless clearly stated to be bio available, such as Ferritin, or Heme-Iron?  You might as well be swallowing iron shavings.  
In fact you are! 
And when you see products being advertised as being fortified with Iron?  The majority are literally using iron dust.  And we will not even start on some of the other ingredients!    
      
Let's talk about Iron blood tests for a moment. 
Seventy percent of the Iron in your body is stored in Red Blood Cells, 10% is found in Intercellular Protein, and one-tenth of 1% of the Iron is Serum Iron, in the form of Transferrin.
 
Notice... that your Red Blood Cells are not technically your Blood.  But in fact float in the watery Serum portion of the Blood.  And that is what is measured when they do a regular blood test. So the standard test is looking for Iron in the Serum, not the Red Blood Cells.  You are not actually getting a true measure of your Iron stores.  Low Ferritin (Iron in the Serum) is typically interpreted as low Iron, but that is a clinical mistake.  As you need to look at all of the containers of Iron — Hemoglobin, Serum and Ferritin.
 
To get a more accurate picture you also need to look at non-iron markers such as Zinc, Copper and Ceruloplasmin, as well as vitamin A and vitamin D because they profoundly influence the bioavailability of Copper. 
 
As an aside, If a blood test does show high Ferritin, it may be a sign of liver dysfunction?
 
Is your head spinning yet?  The point of this is to show that a simple blood test does not actually give us an accurate understanding of what is going on.   
 
When someone is told they have low Iron, it is generally because their Ferritin appears low.  Almost always the real problem is Iron recycling dysfunction.  Which is related to......
Copper deficiency!
 
Now this contradicts many medical “experts”, so it’s a major claim!  But one backed up with solid clinical evidence. 
(For further information please refer to the book, Cu-RE Your Fatigue: by Robbins Morley)
 
But understanding this can significantly impact on your health.   As basically, “Iron deficiency” virtually doesn't exist outside of acute blood loss.  So you are likely dealing with iron recycling dysfunction due to Copper deficiency. 
 
As to put it simply.  Copper chaperones Iron, putting it where it's needed to be in the body.
 
What the test also does not show is if Iron is high in cellular tissue?  Excess Iron is pushed into the cells as a function of the immune system (it is trying to save you).  But Iron that is not bound will find its way to the Mitochondria.  Which can then almost collapse energy production!  (this is bad news)
 
We are told that Iron regulates itself.  It does not.  It is entirely Copper dependent. 
 
So... the real problem is not excess Iron but low Copper. 
 
We've been trained to think we're anaemic and need to replace the Iron.  When in fact the missing piece of the puzzle is bioavailable Copper.   
 
Copper: 
Is often said to be toxic.  Although it is a trace element, most people are deficient.  And actually need more in order for their Iron metabolism to function properly, as discussed above.
 
Your Mitochondria needs Copper to function properly.  Mitochondrial dysfunction is a driver of virtually all chronic disease and ill health!  
And each mitochondrion needs about 50,000 atoms of Copper to do its work.  You need Copper!
 
Copper strengthens the blood vessels and keeps them taut.  Low copper allows blood vessels to swell and weaken, which in extreme can lead to an aneurism. 
 
Copper is essential for healthy gut function and nutrition absorption.
 
Your muscles also need Copper to function properly.  As it plays an important role in energy production and cell membrane integrity in muscle tissue.
 
There are over 300 genes that are Copper-dependent.
 
Copper also helps with detox. 
 
Retinol (vitamin A) is also crucial for mitochondrial function, and makes Copper bioavailable.”
 
Copper-rich foods: Bee pollen, grass fed beef liver and Acerola cherry.
Retinol can be found in beef liver and beef organs.  Cod liver oil is also a recognised source of natural Retinol.
 
Zink:
Zink and Copper should be viewed as two sides of the same coin.  Too much Zink depletes Copper. Always partner Zink with Copper, as Zink and Copper are antagonistic to each other.  Meaning the more of one element you retain, the less of the other you will have.
 
Zink can help with acne, as high levels of Oestrogen increases production of Sebum in skin follicles.  (Zink cream can sometimes help?)
 
And just to add to the mix, Vit D helps maintain a healthy Zink/Copper balance.
 
An indicator of Zink deficiency is a loss of taste and smell, and sometimes unusual hair loss.
 
The ratio between Copper and Zinc is still a matter of investigation?  But there seems to be a consensus around a ratio of 8:1 Zink to Copper.
 
Dose can also be variable for some?  But 24mg Zink and 3mg Copper appears to be a good baseline?
 
It is possible to get an indication of Iron, Copper and Zink levels with hair analysis. 
(I can personally attest to this.)

Let's just dive straight in.
 
Iodine was first discovered in 1811 and was the first time a single item was used to treat a specific illness, the treatment of Goitre (enlarged thyroid).
 
Iodine would be naturally found in the soil and water.  But is now very depleted in our environment.  Which means it is depleted in us too.   
 
A recent study found that the UK is in the top ten of Iodine deficient countries in the world. 
Partly because we don't consume sufficient from our food? 
But also because we do consume products that directly compete with Iodine.  Such as Fluoride, Chlorine, Bromide and Bromine.  Which can be found in medications, toothpaste, water, soft drinks, "fortified" foods and more.  This can cause Bromism (not a good thing and more common than you think?).  To which children and young adults are particularly susceptible. 
 
Because the thyroid and parathyroid glands are involved in the production and regulation of hormones, particularly testosterone and oestrogen.  Thyroid/Iodine problems are linked to multiple hormone based diseases and cancers. 
 
Iodine deficiency causes goitre, mental retardation, especially during pregnancy and early childhood, and cretinism (yes, this is still a real thing).
 
Iodine deficiency manifests with the symptoms of:
Cysts.
Nodules.
Scar tissue.
Swelling and pain.
Impaired immune system.
Decreased organ function.
 
The main organs to suffer from low Iodine are:
Thyroid.
Ovaries.
Womb.
Breasts.
Stomach.
Prostate.
 
So if you are having problems in any of these areas, you may want to consider looking into Iodine?   
 
In the 1900's, the US was having serious problems with low Iodine consumption. 
Where areas around the Great Lakes, 40% of school children had goitre.  And in Ohio 56% of the population had goitre, with a ratio of six to one of women.
However, once the US gov regulated for Iodine to be added to salt and flour, these numbers came down dramatically.
 
Currently, in the US, the ratio is nine to one of women to men with goitre.  Why the high ration of women?  Oestrogen inhibits the absorption of Iodine.     
 
Every cell in the body requires trace amounts of Iodine to function properly, and it concentrates in the glandular system (including the lymph's) and particularly the thyroid.  Without Iodine, white blood cells cannot fight effectively against infections. 
And the prostate also requires higher concentrations.
It's not just the thyroid that makes hormones, the ovaries are also able to concentrate Iodine and manufacture thyroid hormones! 
So... if a woman has problems with her thyroid, her ovaries are probably struggling too?
Here is a neat little angle for you ladies. 
Your ovaries produce thyroid hormone T2.  Which can subsequently be converted to T3 and T4.  So what you say?
One of the reasons ladies of a certain age start to gain weight is because of the decrease of T2 production.
Guess what?  You can buy T2 from health shops!
 
Other tissues that specifically require Iodine are the salivary glands.  Which means you can have difficulty producing saliva and your eyes go dry?  Low Iodine is also a factor in dry skin and difficulty sweating.
 
Iodine also wakes up the brain!  So do not take before going to bed.
 
Arguably the most important takeaway is for expectant mothers and the child they carry.
 
Iodine deficiency is the number one reason for mental retardation.
 
I will say that again.
 
Iodine deficiency is the number one reason for mental retardation.  And there is now some evidence that low Iodine early in foetal development is a factor in Attention Deficit Disorder?
 
Especially during pregnancy and early childhood.  Iodine deficiency can have a profound impact on mental and physical development of the child. 
However, it has been shown that mothers who increase Iodine levels can have children with I.Q. some 20 to 30 points higher than the parents!

Fluoride in water (tap and bottled!) CAUSES low Iodine!

It has been suggested that while pregnant.  Consuming 12-15mg helps stimulate the development of the baby.  This is the average level of Iodine that a Japanese woman would be having, so well within the safe zone. 
When the mother has sufficient Iodine the baby will become notably more active in the womb and physical development is enhanced, particularly neurological development. 
It's as if the baby wakes up inside the womb and starts thinking!
 
And before you start thinking this is for gals only? 
Nope, guys need it almost as much.  Just not for the pregnancy bit.
 
Iodine or Iodide?
Yup, more complications (I can hear you groan).  Thankfully for most of us, Iodine gets the job done.  But there are some instances where Iodide becomes important.
Basically, Iodine is able to just diffuse into a cell (simples). 
Iodide is Iodine in the form of a salt.  And uses the cell's Sodium/Iodine Symporter pump transport mechanism to get into the cell (not so simples).  But by using this pathway, much higher concentrations can be achieved within the cell. 
This is where it could get reeeally complicated, but I will spare you.  However, if you are having problems with your thyroid, breasts, salivary glands.  This is where you may want to look further?  
But if you suspect you have issues of low Iodine?  Or are pregnant?  It could be simpler to just take both forms?  As Lugols Iodine.
 
To get some perspective, the thyroid alone can hold 50mg of Iodine.
20% of the body's concentration of Iodine is in the skin.  If your skin is particularly low in Iodine you will have difficulty in sweating.
32% of total Iodine sits inside the muscles.  And if you were to refer to the list of symptoms above and apply them to muscles, they describe very closely a disease you probably have heard of that apparently has no known cause?  Fibromyalgia!  Just sayin'? 
 
But a word of caution!  If you have been diagnosed with thyroid disease.  Particularly over active thyroid or hyperthyroidism.  Please research before taking Iodine.  As there is a protocol specifically for this condition that does not involve pharmaceutical products.  But is beyond the scope of this post.     
 
However..  Coleus Forskohlii has been shown to be very helpful with thyroid issues.  And does other wonderful things too!
 
Vit B2 and B3 increases absorption and is particularly useful when taken with Iodide. 
 
But do not take Iodine/Iodide at the same time as Vit C, as vit C neutralises it!  Leave approximately an hour between them.
 
Can you overdose with Iodine?  Once a cell has sufficient Iodine, it will be excreted and you just pee it out.     
 
Iodine in food.  A surprising list of foods can contain Iodine.  But this assumes it is in the soil to begin with?  However, Seaweed can be a reliable source as can Kelp.  Which are amazing foods in their own right.  Tasty too when prepared properly.
 
And perhaps the best for last?  Iodine can induce Apoptosis. 
If you are unfamiliar with this word, you may want to look it up?  It is a biggie! 
Basically, when a cell comes to the end of it's usefulness or becomes damaged, it will volunteer to die.  Where it will literally dismantle itself.  The good bits are recycled, and the damaged bits thrown away.  One of the reasons cancer is able to develop is because the signal to induce Apoptosis is switched off.  
Iodine can induce Apoptosis!     
 
Iodine test.
Although not conclusive, it can be a helpful indicator?  Apply Iodine to an area approximately 3” across on the underside of an arm overnight.  In the morning, if still there and reasonably dark in colour you probably don't need to supplement.  The lighter the patch the more you need Iodine.
 
Supplements.
The best way to take Iodine is in our food.  As it will automatically come in a bio available form and with the other companion minerals and vitamins the body needs. 
 
However, it can be found in multiple forms as a supplement.  
Speaking personally, I tend to favour it as Lugols Iodine as it is a combination of both Iodine and Iodide.  Is cheap and a known quantity?  
 
Dose.
It would be inappropriate for me to make recommendations and you really should investigate and decide what would be appropriate for you?
 
But to give you some idea.  The average consumption found in Japan of around 12-15mg and could be a good rule of thumb?  But please do your research.    
      
Also be aware that Lugols Iodine can over time stain your teeth, as it has Iodide in with the mix which gives it the brown colour.  But drinking through a straw can noticeably reduce staining.  And a diluted Apple cider Vinegar mouthwash, which is a good idea in its own right.  Will help keep your pearly whites and support oral health.

Also be aware that Lugols Iodine can over time stain your teeth, as it has Iodide in with the mix which gives it the brown colour.  But drinking through a straw can noticeably reduce staining.  And a diluted Apple cider Vinegar mouthwash, which is a good idea in its own right.  Will help keep your pearly whites and support oral health.    
 
For further research I would suggest the book: 
 
The Underactive Thyroid - Do it yourself because your doctor won't.
By Dr. Myhill
 
For Iodine information and suggested dosing...
drmyhill.co.uk/wiki/Iodine_-_what_is_the_correct_daily_dose%3F
Her website is a veritable treasure trove!  I would suggest looking around?

Vitamin D?
What do you know about it?
Perhaps I may have a couple of little surprises for you?
 
So why is Vitamin D important? 
 
You may have heard of rickets?  The bane of Edwardian children!  Where their bones turned to rubber and their immune system shut down!  Except... eventually they found this wasn't a disease, it was a Vitamin D deficiency.  What is not so well recognised is that adult rickets is still commonplace, especially among the elderly.       
 
A few other conditions associated with Vitamin D deficiency:
Osteoporosis –  Vit D is essential for maintaining bone density and strength and calcium control.
Rheumatoid arthritis – Multiple studies show that women with higher Vit D are less likely to get rheumatoid arthritis. People who already have rheumatoid arthritis and low Vit D tend to have more active symptoms.
Asthma – Reduced lower lung functions, impaired asthma control, especially in children.  And Vit D can help as an anti-inflammatory for the lungs.
Heart health – Linked to increased risk of high blood pressure (hypertension) and cardiovascular disease.
Inflammation – Vit D deficiency is associated with inflammatory diseases.  Including lupus, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD/IBS) and type 1 diabetes.  And general immune system impairment. 
Type-2 Diabetes – There is evidence of a correlation between Vit D and type 2 diabetes. As it can effect insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
Cholesterol – Vit D helps regulates cholesterol levels in the blood.
Allergies – Studies show that children with low levels are more likely to have multiple food allergies.
Influenza – Studies show low Vit D is linked to respiratory infections, colds and flu.  And a "certain disease" we all became rather familiar with not too long ago.  
Depression – Receptors for Vit D are involved in numerous brain processes, making it likely that this vitamin could be associated with depression.
Oral health – Several recent reports demonstrate a significant association between periodontal health and the intake of Vit D.  Elderly patients with low Vit D levels have a higher rate of tooth loss than those with high Vit D levels.
Cancer – A study indicated that more than 75% of people with a whole range of cancers have low levels of Vit D.  And the lowest levels are associated with more advanced cancers.
 
Quite a list huh?  And more that could be added.  But I think you get the idea? 
 
There is little doubt that the best way to get Vit D is from exposing our skin to sunlight.  Which sounds great in principle.  But not so much if you, like me, find yourself on a soggy island in the North Sea where we might get three days of actual sunshine in a year (ok, maybe four?). 
 
This really does matter.  As understanding what Vit D is and how it is metabolised is critical for our health.  EVERY cell in our body needs Vit D.  And not least because very low levels of D effectively means our immune system can no longer function, and we become vulnerable to the slightest cold and sniffle and infection going around.  Put simply, it is essential we have enough Vit D for our immune system to function properly!
 
Ever wondered why cold and flu season is in the winter?  How much sun do you see?  What do you think happens to your Vit D levels?    
 
So we are left with either all of us moving to California, or supplementation?
 
Ok, so let's start ticking some boxes.
 
Vitamin D is technically not a vitamin.  It functions as a hormone, and is involved with so many functions in the body it would make your head spin.  And is critical for immune system function. 
 
There are two forms of Vitamin D.  D2 which comes from plants.  And D3 which comes from animals.
 
It is generally accepted that D3 is approximately twice as active as D2.  But some people may get nausea with D3 (I do).  And D2 could be a more gentle alternative?
 
Both forms of D start out as inactive.  The body can't use it!  And very high levels of inactive D in our blood can actually be detrimental?
 
It gets stored in our fat.  Which if you are more generously proportioned means there is less available for use, as basically the fat soaks it up. So if you are a bit chunky you might want to take a little more?
 
And it is the inactive form of D that regular blood tests look for.  Which might call into question how useful the test actually is? 
 
For it to be turned into the active form of D, it gets pulled from storage and into the liver where it is converted to the precursor, and then passed to the kidneys where it is finally released as the active form. 
 
Starting to get complicated, huh?
 
What is interesting is that inactive D is fat soluble, but active D is water soluble.  Which if we understand cell function makes a lot of sense?  And liver and kidney function is a prime factor.  So taking care of them is a reeally good idea?
 
Having got your head spinning, what can we do?
 
We should not look at Vit D in isolation.  Like most supplements we should view it as part of a set.  Along with Vitamin D, we should be supplementing with Vitamin K2 plus Zink & Copper, and Magnesium. 
I will have more info coming on these.
  
Other Vitamins such as A and E are also important, but thankfully can be neatly found all together in fish oil such as Cod liver oil.  Or even better, Krill oil.   
 
Basically, Vit D grabs hold of free calcium, Vit K2 shoves it into the bones, and Vit A and E acts like glue to keep it in your skin and bones.
 
But as you probably have gathered by now.  Vit D is not a one trick pony, as are most vitamins.  And by taking this set of vitamins you are addressing multiple health issues, not just getting your D to work.
 
Magnesium is essential for D metabolism.  But you are taking some already I hope?
 
Boron is also a major component for bone heath and more. 
 
Most Vit D3 is extracted from Lanolin found in wool.  Otherwise known as sheep sweat (sorry, couldn't resist ;-).
 
Plant based D2 from algae and mushrooms is readily available. 
 
It has been suggested that taking D supplements with a meal is preferable?
 
I found that taking high dose orally, after some years started causing nausea.  But topically I am absolutely fine.  And there seems to be other advantages to piggybacking the natural pathway into the body?
Particularly on the chest area (hint, hint[Image: wink.gif]).
 
Back in 2020 I was following events VERY closely!  The number of papers and shared information and collaboration that was flying around the world was amazing to watch!
 
One detail stood out. 
Blood tests showed that it was when Vit D levels dropped below 40ng/ml that people were turning up at hospital.
If levels dropped below 20ng/ml death was the most like outcome.
Above 50ng/ml only mild symptoms were manifested.
Other studies have shown that above 60ng/ml, incidents of most infections illnesses are much reduced?
And above 70ng/ml indications are that it can provide some protection against cancer?
 
Hopefully this might spark a few questions? I can only share what I have learned, but I will do my best to answer.
 
DO... YOUR... OWN... RESEARCH!

Is anyone else building their own repository of medical / herbal information to make sense of so many posts over the years?

I've started dumping some of the info from posts about herbs and biological processes into an app I use, so that I can make connections between hormones and specific herbs. It gives me a connection graph and links forward/backward.

For example, I've now found that Pygeum has the effect of reducing Prolactin - something that I can now group / find by a tag I created, if I find other herbs or supplements that reduce it as well (to avoid them or to intentionally consume them, depending on what I want to do).

First attach shows just the prolactin reducing effect tag, and the second attach shows the zoomed-out view of all the nodes I've added so far, all the herbs and hormones relating to NBE.

Edit: I wasnt clear but clicking on each node, opens a page where you can put text and images in.
