Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 One of my cats developed a swelling in his jaw, tender. I started giving him iodine and it's gone completely.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I have been taking Equine Nutrition courses for the past 2 years. Iodine is an essential nutrient to all living creatures. We are taught to supplement horses at a higher rate than what is suggested by the NRC. We had a bout of abscess causing disease (a form of distemper) go thru our area last summer, and our horses recovered wonderfully, only one actually abscessed, the others had swellings that dissolved. BTW, in looking for a low cost iodine supplement for horses, I started reading about how it might help my own health issues and... here I am.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Great info - Thanks. Is there a dosage/weight that anyone could recommend? I have been giving my 22 pound Corgi 3 mg in the morning and 3 mg at night in her food - just started yesterday. Does that sound about right? Have a cat too so the possibility to give it for abscesses is great - beats a $100 doctors bill! , what dosage would you give for something like that?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I put a drop in the water dish for my 2 kittens which are about 5-6 months old and about 5 pounds each. I have given it to them several weeks and if I forget they move their water dish 12 feet to the sink for that drop of iodine and they don't do that if it is empty. They are quite perky and very active. Pam On Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 8:14 PM, coloredoctave <joanlulich@...> wrote: Do you feed them raw meat? This could help with the skin infections.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hi Ariel, The NRC suggests that an average 1100# horse needs a minimum of 3.5 mg Iodine/day (working horses get 4.4mg). But no toxic affects at levels as high as 50mg. (I would assume the toxic affects might actually be Detox?) We have been taught to give a minimum buffer of 150%. So 3.5*150% = 5.25mg/day. My horses get 200% NRC on a daily basis. Competition horses get more. Seems like nothing compared to what this forum is discussing! Lugol's is fine. For your horse 1200/1100 =1.1 so you would multiply 1.1*3.5*150%=5.775mg/day minimum needs. ~ iodine and pets>>>>I was wondering if it is safe to give iodine to pets?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Yes, we've been through one bout with antibiotics and cortizone shot. She is having a minor breakout right now but I am wondering if it is related to her playing with the cat, who really goes for it and jumps on her back like a cat out of the wild. It's all in fun but I think he might nail her with his claws once in a while. Have rubbed the lugol's on the spots which helped them clear right up. She's gluten free. and have been giving her the Nzymes products as well to help boost her immune system.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 ! How nice to meet you here Yes, iodine is excellent nutrition. You need all the companion nutrients as well (the full protocol) -- be sure to read the New Member doc. I've lost about 35 pounds over the last year, since starting the iodine protocol. My body is detoxing and away went the fat. The body stores as fat the things we ingest that the body doesn't know what it is or what to do with. This frequently includes detoxing materials, when our detox pathways aren't working well. -- At 12:48 PM 4/8/2011, you wrote: >I have been taking Equine Nutrition courses for the past 2 years.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 My cats, dogs, and the two pet pigs get least 6.25mg per day. And yes, , the so-called " toxic effects " are actually bromide detox symptoms. If you look at " bromide poisoning " lists of symptoms and compare them to so-called " iodism " or " iodine poisoning " , they are identical. The symptoms are not caused by the iodine, but by the bromides being released. Bromides are horrible poisons that are deliberately put in the food supply, among other sources in our lives that make bromides a ubiquitous poison that everyone in the USA, at least, is exposed to constantly. Apparently Europe has long banned bromides in food, but there are still plenty of sources for them as well. I'm not sure what the situation is in Canada. Bromides are also fire retardants and those have been banned in children's pajamas in the USA, I'm not sure starting when. But if they've been banned in children's pajamas, someone somewhere in power in the USA knows and admits that bromides are very bad for humans, yet, for example, it is still added to bread (brominated flour). --V At 09:32 AM 4/11/2011, you wrote: >thank you! that helps alot! - Ariel > >On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 12:44 PM, lrmaynard ><<mailto:lrmaynard@...>lrmaynard@...> wrote: > > >Hi Ariel, > >The NRC suggests that an average 1100# horse needs a minimum of 3.5 mg >Iodine/day (working horses get 4.4mg). >But no toxic affects at levels as high as 50mg.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Well, methyl-bromide was to have been phased out in Canada by 2005 and bromine has not been used in flour for a long time. We can still get brominated vegetable oil, as in Mountain Dew, but I noticed (because I have an occasional weakness for Fresca) that brominated vegetable oil is far from universally used in citrus soda, as I had ben led to believe. And I think we're playing a shell-game with brominated fire retardants...ban one, replace it with another. Jaye <snip> I'm not sure what the situation is in > Canada.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I am catching up on older posts and have a question related to this post below. I want to start my 100 lb dog on Lugol's. There is some question that he is hypothyroid but the vet was unable to get blood from him today (many tries,big struggle) to send off for labs. She went ahead and put him on Standard Process Canine Thyroid support. Would he have some detox issues like a human might and do I need to give him all or some of the companion nutrients as well? My vet is not opposed to iodine just doesn't know enough about the benefits. Thanks, Lorie I give lugol's to my dog - 1 drop of 5% solution (6.25 mgs) in his food or water. I would think it would help with skin infections. Coconut oil may help as well. Not sure about the allergy to flea bites. Buist, ND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
