Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 >Thanks! And thanks again to who selflessly helps us with this >site!!! ****** I second that! , can you answer this persistent issue? Just yesterday Dr. Rima's site again mentioned there was a grave difference between what she called, " pharmaceutical iodine, " " nutritional iodine, " and " KI, potassium iodide. " As if KI is poisonous beyond a few days. Both Lugol's and Iodoral are potassium iodide. Can you explain this crazy distinction? What would she mean is a " pharmaceutical " iodine formulation? Or a " nutritional " iodine forumlation? I hesitate to ask her. I would just get more double-talk. Marji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 > > I am not sure but my guess is: > > Pharmaceutical = Lugols (Iodine & Potassium Iodide) in mg dosages > Nutritional = off the shelf like those found in a healthfood store. These are usually low dose iodide only products in mcg dosages. > KI = Potassium Iodine which is SSKI although it it supposed to be by rx only too. It is mcg dosages too. > .... reply: Just to clarify SSKI is 50mg iodide/drop and I believe it was used in the Hoxsey formula. Nutritional iodine would be derived from food sources like kelp, fish, etc. Pharma sources are concentrations from the plant and mineral kingdoms complements of modern chemistry.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 > > SSKI is not 50 mgs / drop. SSKI is Super Saturated Potassium Iodide and it is measured in MICROGRAMS not MILLIGRAMS. > .... Reply: Here is a reference for you: " Thus, two (2) drops of U.S.P. SSKI solution is equivalent to one 130 mg KI tablet (100 mg iodide).

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Please remember that most of the folks who come here have health problems, including the moderators. Some of us are dealing with children and other family members who have chronic illnesses to boot as do many of the members here who help answer questions. You may not get an answer quickly, it might take a day or so. If you post a question and don't see an answer after 2 or 3 days, feel free to repost, but please don't start reposting within a few hours or the same day. It's difficult enough to keep up with posts. People are not purposely ignoring posts, they just may not have enough time to answer immediately, they may not have experience with the issue asked about and please keep in mind that sometimes does not immediately post, sometimes it can take several hours or so for your message to post. You can also try doing a search on the group files, chances are your question has been answered previously. Linn > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >Thanks!
