Is there a link between Iodine deficiency and autism? Scientists haven't determined
the exact origin of autism but there is research to show a potential link between those who
are deficient in iodine and those with autism. There has been a major increase in the amount
of children who have developed autism over the past two decades, and the center for disease
control and prevention estimates that one out of every 88 children in the U.S. will
display autistic symptoms. Without proper amounts of iodine, your thyroid fails to produce
enough hormones to support metabolism and normal immune health. Low production of thyroxin,
the primary hormone produced by your thyroid, has been linked to weakened neural connections
in the brain. Additionally it has been found that newborns may be prone to developing neurological
imbalances such as ADHD and autism if they are born from mothers with low iodine levels.
All of this information leads up to suggest the possibility of a link between iodine deficiency
and autism. Because of this, many alternative healthcare practitioners are looking at methods
that involve nutrition, detoxification, and iodine supplementation. I've recommended the
product Detoxadine for years for autistic children, and have had great success along
with other supplements. For more information, tips, and advice on living an all-natural
