Host Ellen Kamhi, PhD, RN, interviews Maggie Martakis, the founder of Maggie’s Holistics, about the importance of iodine to maintain our health. This is Maggie’s second interview with the Natural Nurse. To listen to her first interview about iodine, please listen here.

Why  do we need iodine in our body?

On today’s show, Maggie returns to share information about the politics and science behind the increasing chemical load that is inundating the environment, with ill health effects as the outcome. She discusses how halides such as fluorine and bromine can increase iodine deficiency, and how people can determine their own level and support a healthy iodine status.

While trying to heal her son and herself, Maggie discovered that we are exposed daily to radiation, fluorine, chlorine, bromine chemicals and heavy metals as they can be found in our food, water and air. These toxins accumulate and get stored in our body interfering with the endocrine glandular system, neurological system and cause calcification of our pineal gland which may interfere with cognitive abilities. Healthy levels of iodine help the body detox toxic build up of these chemicals and assist in the reactivation of our self healing mechanisms.

Maggie is a Holistic Nutritionist, certified in Reiki and Kundalini Yoga with degrees in the Sciences, Art History and is knowledgeable of several languages.

She is a presenter at the NAVEL EXPO. Full Day Events open to the public featuring, the worlds BEST healers, LIVE! www.navelexpo.com
