patch test same for kids? arm or wrist?

[Guest guest]

Hi there...

I'm new here and trying to learn what I can with limited time. I

have my own holistic parenting online group as well as ozone,

colloidal silver etc. AND 2 small kids at home!! LOL phew lots of

reading and research....

just curious if I can paint a little lugol's on my 18 month old and

4.5 yr olds wrists or inside arm same as I do for myself?

I have read arm and wrist- which is better?

I have read some articles in the files section so far. I am

wondering if anyone has any experience directly with working with

iodine and kids? I suspect I didn't have near enough when pregnant

and nursing. I have noticed my 18 mo dd is growing noticeably since

I started taking lugol's. My 4.5 yr old is small for his age

(although I'm only 5'2 " ) and I wonder if that could be connected.

Despite our holistic approach to childbirth and diet etc. my

children still (and I) have LOTS of food sensitivities (tested with

electrodermal testing) AND their hair analysis are horrible.

Afte rthe kids and I had whooping cough last year I took them in to

find out where we were at. Both kids have unacceptable aluminum

levels and my youngest high lead levels. My son's iodine levels

showed .84 (normal being 0.8-1.6). Both kids are off the chart low

in zinc, phosphorus and really low in strontiumm, sodium, and

magnesium. There are others minerals that are not quite as

bad...with iron and manganese being wayyyy high. Although many

things appear in the normal range they are close to being low.

Anyhow I muse alot about what I have passed to them through my

breast milk. I have a friend with 2 autistic boys and their hair

analysis is almost the same as my kids and they are very similar to

their mother. My kids seem fine, smart, fun loving, kind and very

active kids with no 'noticeable' things (unless they eat process4ed

foods! eek. it's been yrs since i had a hair anaylsis but i recall i

was high in lead too.

anyhow, sorry about that, I got blabbing.... sigh i know iodine

might just be part of the picture. my dad tells me we have thyroid

issues in my family....

thanks

Hi ,

I am very new to all of the iodine stuff. I too am very into health

and nutrition. My kids are similar in that they are smaller, thinner

than I would like or that I think is optimal health. Two of my three

have gluten intolerance. I didn't eat as well as I should have while

pregnant or nursing. I have decided after reading to just give them

the iodine. I am giving them (and hubby and me) the Liqui-Dulse. It

was all I could find that had both iodine and iodide in it,

unfortunately it does have a preservative. But I am giving them 4

drops for now, 225 mcg.

I am curious to see what you notice if you decide to supplement them.

Please post it.
