The thyroid collects iodine, (which is why radioactive iodine goes straight to the thyroid) but it also collects many other chemicals that look similar to iodine – fluoride, pesticides, toxins from preservatives.
This is why the immune system tries to get rid of these toxins.
The liver is supposed to remove these toxins from the blood, but cant do so if they have been extracted and stored by the thyroid.
The thyroid needs selenium, iodine and zinc to produce some hormones, but if your food does not provide enough, or your stomach is not absorbing it then the thyroid cant do its job properly.
The thyroid is only one gland of many glands and tissues that needs iodine.
Other glands/organs/systems with high iodine uptake are
the breasts, ovaries, cervix, blood, lymph, bones, gastric mucosal, salivary, adrenal, prostate, colon, thymus, lungs, bladder, kidney, and skin.
Iodine is found and used in every hormonal receptor in the body.

Skin cancer and psoriasis
For skin cancer, a 7% iodine tincture should be spread on the affected area, 20-30 times once a day, with the aim of producing a number of layers of crusts. After this treatment, the cancer will be gone and stay away forever.
