Re: SSKI -- Saturated Solution of Potassium Iodide (KI)

[Guest guest]

SSKI stands for "Saturated Solution of Potassium (K) Iodide". It is the form of iodide that has been used successfully by for many years. He is one of the iodine pioneers and was successfully using iodine in clinical practice long before Abraham et al.

Since it is "iodide", it is the form used by the thyroid.

There is a section of links on it here, under iodine supplements:

iodine/links/Iodine_Sources_001138151092/Iodine_Supplements_001139757093/Potassium_Iodide__KI_001139169225/

There is a link to an article by here, in our files section:

iodine/files/15%20Iodine%20Supplements/

Here is the page on on iodine4health:

If you go to 's site (http://www.wrightnewsletter.com/) and search on SSKI, you will find a lot of interesting information.

Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how much KI is in each drop. If you find out, please let us know.

Thanks.

Re: How Much Iodine should I take??

SSKI is potassium iodide. It does not contain any iodine which is what your thyroid is looking for. You thyroid will take iodine in and through the oxidation / organification process it will remove one electron to become iodide. Dr. Brownstein's book addresses the question of what type. He said that for years he tried SSKI and would up the dose and saw little results. It wasn't until he switched to Iodoral (Lugol's Formula) that he saw the difference. It contains both.So in answer to your question I am not sure that any dose will do much good. Maybe someone here takes it but I think most of us use other forms like Lugol's, Iodoral and a few Nascent.>I have SSKI, and a pharmacist told me to take one drop daily, but not> sure what is the right ammount. Could someone write me about this plz.> >

Just found some information on the amount of iodide per drop.

Here (Thyroid Diseases: Clinical Fundamentals and Therapy)it says 38

mg iodide per drop:

http://books.google.com/books?id=p640LPgVpZkC & pg=PA637 & lpg=PA637 & dq=sski+drop & so\

urce=web & ots=FwUANRfYId & sig=_BQKCGQOhI_FC8P0fkMtWgd9p1w

Here (Handbook of Clinical Drug Data) it says 50 mg iodide per drop:

http://books.google.com/books?id=40UJmr_6WQ4C & pg=PA697 & lpg=PA697 & dq=sski+drop & so\

urce=web & ots=c9psHtcO29 & sig=PV_pQVtTa3j-Ee8ga5vZts2vW9s

So, it sounds like 38-50 mg iodide per drop of SSKI.
