Re: Lugol's iodine and DMSO?

[Guest guest]

Bea,

Type DMSO in the search box on this forum for some recent posts on this and also

earlier dialogue.

Also perhaps a search for 'transdermal' or 'Lugol's topical' for prior

conversations. One forum contributor, , has considerable experience using

Lugol's topically and you could do a search with her name as well.

Refer to Section 9 of the New Member Document which is located in the Files and

be sure to open and read the link.

Personally, I think it would be a waste of DMSO.DMSO is great for taking things

which aren't normally absorbed thru the skin, and carrying them in. Iodine IS

readily absorbed thru the skin, so even for protection from radioactive iodine,

I think its better to save the DMSO for other things.There is a DMSO

group, to learn more about it.

There can be significant evaporation of iodine applied directly to the skin as

per the research documents:

Though that doesn't mean that it makes the case to use DMSO. Several people

have used coconut oil, castor oil, etc... to help reduce the possibility of

evaporation, and others have queried if DMSO would help with deeper penetration

or more specific penetration.
