Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I am curious if anyone on this list has any knowledge that what has been taught in herbalogy for eons that black walnut hulls are rich in iodine, is true? Certainly, it will stain your hands similar to iodine and it looks like iodine, but is it? I have researched online and cannot find any lab studies that actually said that iodine can be assayed from black walnut hulls. It seems to me that black walnut trees cannot continually pull iodine out of the soil year after year without some depletion. Any body with any scientific information on black walnut hulls and iodine content? doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Try putting Vit C powder on the black walnut stain. If it turns clear, you would have some evidence for iodine being present. But it won't. Here is a statement about this. http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1235396 It's not based on lab results, but it is based on sound logic. Iodine is an element. The black walnut tree cannot manufacture iodine. So if it is growing in iodine-rich soil, it might have iodine in it. But if iodine-depleted, it won't. It is completely dependent on the soil in which the tree is growing. The color is coincidental. It is, however, a powerful antihelminthic. -- moderator On 27 Feb 2012 at 10:34, james fry wrote: > > > > The only 'Old Wives' thing I ever heard about Black Walnut shells is > that they would chase 'unwanted fauna' from your digestive track.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks, but ascorbic acid is an oxidizer and as such, it will oxidize other things beside iodine. So I doubt that even if it does turn black walnut hull tincture clear, it really doesn't proves much as far as iodine content. thanks, doug Re: black walnut hulls > Try putting Vit C powder on the black walnut stain.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 You have to get the walnuts when they are green and soak them in vodka or some type of alcohol... kills off parasites, but did not know about the iodine.. but it does turn dark brown...On Feb 27, 2012, at 1:50 PM, Bonnie wrote:  Hulda has a recipe for the tincture in her book.........

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Folks: I believe that the staining from walnut hulls and shells is from tannin.... .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I agree with you, Doug. However, I do stand by the logic which says that iodine is present or not present according to whether the soil has iodine or not. -- moderator On 27 Feb 2012 at 15:30, polo wrote: > Thanks, but ascorbic acid is an oxidizer and as such, it will oxidize > other things beside iodine.
