Guest guest Posted April 22, 1999 Report Share Posted April 22, 1999 :Kathleen, it should work for anyone. My Dr. told me he got it from Price-Pottinger news letter. If I had a scanner I would send you the copy. I am also hypo. Use 2% iodine and paint a quarter - 50C piece size on the soft part of skin. He suggests tummy or thigh but I put it on top of a mole on my arm. That way I can check it during the day and see if it is still there. Otherwise I forget about it. I took 15 tabs of iodine yesterday and I put the iodine on last night at 11:00 pm and it is almost gone at 11:00 this morning so it has only lasted 12 or more hours. Not the 24 it is suppose to. Yes, your body does suck it up. Everyone should do this test every 6 months or so. I use it whenever I think of it because of the thyroid problem. If it is gone in less than 24 hours keep using it till the stain remains for 24 hours. You could also increase the kelp. This works as a test and also a treatment. I wonder if I will ever feel better, my husband stayed home today to help me clean the house. My sister is coming this week-end and I have a " meeting " next Wed. that I am going to quit. I just can not keep up with it. Let me know how you do with the iodine test. Shirley : I am hypo do you think this test would work on me? Or is it just for :hypers? Also can you explain it too me. I sort of get the concept -- if the :iodine disappears it means your body sucks it in because it needs it. Right? : Did you get the iodine at the drugstore? : :--kathleen : : : : :In a message dated 4/22/99 12:05:07 AM Eastern Daylight Time, :sstieger@... writes: : :<< Subj: Re: Manganese : Date: 4/22/99 12:05:07 AM Eastern Daylight Time : From: sstieger@... (Shirley Stieger) : Reply-to: hyperthyroidismegroups : hyperthyroidismegroups : : I seem to need a lot of iodine, I am taking about 10 kelp a day (225 : micrograms each tab) and I still seem to be short as I tested for iodine by : painting a circle on my arm with iodine and it was gone in 8 hrs. instead of : 24, which is normal. I will increase it to 15 a day and see if that helps. : Where is everyone, did you all go fishing??
