Iodine and the Body Hormones Brownstein Eskin Flechas Skibola Smith Wright	Flechas Iodine Flechas JD MP3 audio -- 50 minutes (takes a while to download) RadioLiberty.com January 26, 2007. In this 50-minute radio presentation (mp3 audio), Flechas discusses a variety of iodine-related issues, including the effects of iodine on hormone receptors and neurotransmitters. He states that the receptors for almost every major hormone and neurotransmitter need iodine in order to function efficiently -- thyroid hormones, testosterone, cortisol, insulin, and more. He also asserts that the single iodide that is removed in transforming T4 to T3 can join receptors and increase their sensitivity. Iodine Deficiency Flechas JD MP3 audio -- 2 hours (takes a while to download) RadioLiberty.com January 5, 2007. In this two-hour radio presentation (mp3 audio), Flechas discusses a variety of iodine-related issues, including the effects of iodine on receptors. He states that all hormone receptors are dependent on iodine, which increases the sensitivity of the receptor to the hormone it is designed for. For example, he states that it can increase the sensitivity of insulin receptors and thus help with diabetes. Similarly, it can increase the sensitivity of the receptors for neurotransmitters (e.g., serotonin, dopamine, GABA) in the brain. Thus, depression may lift after taking iodine. It can also increase the sensitivity of receptors for testosterone and FSH/LH. More on the Flechas radio interviews More articles by Flechas
