Yeah I have to question the claims here. First of all your sentence "the body doesn't make iodine" suggests it can some other element. This is not true, we have no ability to make any element, no living thing has that ability to my best knowledge. Also I have doubts how mercury cadmium lead and arsenic react with iodine receptor sites. This things are cations iodine is an anion so it seems rather implausible. Furthermore implying hormonal dysfunction causes such a wide variety of disease is dishonest. Type 1 diabetes for example has nothing to do with hormones.

Thanks for your input, @lukaszb!
The phrase "the body doesn't make iodine" is not to intended to suggest that other elements are created in it; it is to highlight the importance of consuming iodine.
Our research shows that heavy metals do indeed bind to iodine receptor sites. Mercury, in particular Please bring forth evidence you have to the contrary if we need to update our info.
Hormonal dysfunction causes an incredible array of disease - that is fact, although many diseases may have multiple causes. If the chemical messengers are out of whack, many of the body's systems can be pulled out of whack and sub-optimal function results.
To say that type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with hormones is incorrect. Both type 1 and 2 diabetes are said to be caused by insufficient insulin levels, which is a hormone. In type 1 diabetes, the cells of the pancreas that make iodine are damaged/nonfunctional. Leptin and amylin (more hormones) deficiencies play significant roles as well.
