Re: One drop of Lugol's?

[Guest guest]

One drop of Lugol's is howmany milligrams? I searched the online site but could not find the answer. But I recall one mail in the past did mention the values. Please reply.--------------------------

One drop of 5% Lugol's solution is 6.2mg. 2% Lugol's solution would

be 2/5ths as much, or 2.5mg. Only the latter is still available

legally in the U.S. because of a draconian bill that was just signed

into law. Source: Optimum Levels of Iodine for Greatest Mental and

I received the information on Lugol's from:

http://www.health-science-spirit.com/lugol.htm

" In the US regular Lugol's solution with 10% total iodine (from 10%

potassium iodide and 5% iodine in water) is now outlawed. The

highest total amount of iodine allowed is 2.2%. "

Hi, I came across this page in a search and after reading about what

precentages might be in some lugol's, I thought you might want to look

at it. I make my own solution, so it doesn't really affect me.

http://www.health-science-spirit.com/lugol.htm

[Guest guest]

I posted this message then realised I had made a mistake, so I

deleted and reposted if anyone read it first then wondered what

happened.

Hi Duke

It tells you the percentages on that page somewhere, but it is

basically 10% potassium iodide and 5% iodine in water. I think I

found out how to make it from a recipe on the curezone site after a

search for it. 10g of pottasium iodide mixed with 85ml of water

first then add 5g of iodine to make a total of 100ml of lugol's. The

iodine won't dissolve in water till it has been mixed with the

potassium iodide. I don't know if this is what everyone else is using

but that's what I use.

I have read that it is difficult to obtain iodine in US but you can

buy potassium iodide crystals on ebay and other sites in the US.

There are a few videos on youtube showing how to make iodine solution

out of potassium iodide but not sure about the strength

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CLhwkFKLdPA

I also found a page about how they first discovered how to make

iodine from seaweed while making gunpowder -

http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/history/iodine.htm

My main interest in iodine is for a rare spinal cord disease I have

called syringomyelia similar to MS. Apparently potassium iodide was

used in victorian times for spinal cord problems as well as all the

other uses. I read a few pages about victorian drs and iodine but

can't seem to find them now. I got sinus type headaches when I first

started using it but can take a dropper full at a time now.

Seems they used to use iodine much more in olden times than they do

now. I sw an old advert from about 1950 on ebay uk for 'crookes

iodine oil' which was applied to painful areas much like the

magnesium oil some of you know about. I am a user of magnesium oil

that I make myself. I also found an old advert in out local street

life museum for 'simpsons iodine socks'. The socks were said to

improve circulation and remove toxins. On looking into that further I

found they actually make socks in New Zealand now with iodine and

silver threads added to them

http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/history/iodine.htm

Hope this helps. GP

Hi Kathy

I have tried potassium iodide solution in a spray bottle and sprayed

on my throat. I can remember my granny having iodine ointment when we

where kids but they don't seem to sell it anymore here (I am in

England). I make colloidal silver and use it regularly. You can stop

sore throats, colds, flu, coughs, before they get a hold if you use

it straight away and it doesn't taste of anything. Haven't has any of

those things for years now.

In England they even started selling pyjamas for hospital patients

that are impregnated with silver to stop you getting MRSA, and you

can get bandaids with silver in them as well. I was wondering how

much information a pharmocopoeia has on the uses for iodine and other

old remedies? Do they list the use of the preperations in them? Seen

old ones for sale ebay dating back to 1800's.

I like to use several things which all have their own uses and the

main things I use are colloidal silver, transdermal magnesium (made

from dead sea salt), iodine, hydrogen peroxide.

GP

> hey Gp,

>  You were talking about old adds for iodine, I wanted to add to

that my mom who is 75 told me that her dad used it on there throats

everytime they had sore throats , they were painted. they also used

to paint it on sprained ankles and every time you got a cut the

bottle of iodine came out.

Hi psych doc

I just meant that I have used the potassium iodide as a spray, I like

to experiment and mix things up to see what happens. I wasn't trying

to say that it works better that way. My potassium iodide was in

crystals but they dissolve easily in water without having to crush

them. I think although this talk about silver might be a bit off

topic, hopefully we can learn about other useful minerals etc.

I actually prefer colloidal silver to stop anything like cough, sore

throat, cold, flu. I haven't been using iodine that long but have

used silver for years with good results for all those tyype of

problems.You can spray silver into tired eyes as well because there

is no stinging or pain from silver. Other ways to stop a cold or ear

problem is using a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in a 6% or similar

in your ear or the silver. You can hear a fizzing noise for a while

after using peroxide in your ear. Peroxide will sting in a open wound

though.

Apart from silver killing off infection it also heals up faster too.

My diabetic neighbour has problems healing up any cuts etc and used

it on his arm. He couldn't believe how fast it healed up. I told him

to soak a piece of kitchen paper in colloidal silver and lay it on. I

make the silver myself with the 3 - 9volt batteries and 2 pieces of

silver wire. I know some might say its not the best way to make it

but it has always been ok for me and costs virtually nothing.

Getting back to iodine. I have had a problem with one side of my head

where it has red patch on my scalp. I have been washing my hair with

bentonite clay, then spraying on some potassium iodide. The skin

looks much better after only a few days. Oh I remebered why I used

potassium iodide instead of iodine - because KI is clear and doesn't

seem to stain.

> Graham, wouldn't it be easier to drop two drops of Lugol's in a

glass

of water and gargle with it without drinking it, rather than using

Potassium Iodide spray? I have both Lugol's and Potassium Iodide

(KI).

My KI is in the form of crystals. I will have to crush them and

dissolve in water and then get a spray. Too much hassle for me.

Gargles

with Lugol's sounds more convenient to me. Lugol's has both iodine

and

iodide. By the way, I also have Tincture Iodine and the atomic or

nascent iodine and Betadine.

Hi Duke

I get my potassium iodide from ebay in England but I have seen it

for sale on the US ebay as well. Like I say I was just experimenting

and using it as a non staining form of iodine? I just put a teaspoon

of

it into some water maybe 5%?. I use small spray bottles to avoid

wasting it. I'm not very scientific when I experiment and often

change

things and mix with other things like silver etc, depending on what I

want to do.

I can't really sit in a bath due to a low back injury so I have a

shower instead. Haven't been in a bath for 20 years :-) I use

magnesium

oil/lotion whatever you want to call it for muscle type pains that I

make myself. You apply it to your skin. Lot of people I know are now

using magnesium lotion successfully for pain.
