Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Hi, Sheri, >However, I'm ?only a long term patient and no medical expert. Perhaps iodine >can be in a nuclear state, too. Ask one of the experts we are so lucky to >have here. Yes, there are both radioactive and non-radioactive isotopes of iodine. For a thyroid test, for instance, radioactive iodine is used - the thyroid will concentrate the iodine (including radioactive iodine) if its working well, clearing it from the blood. For a blood volume test, a compound with a radioactive iodine in it would be used, to avoid the thyroid uptake. Any suitable radioactive isotope could be used - metastable technecium 99mTc is common. For something like a CT scan, non-radioactive iodine is used (actually a compound that has several iodine atoms in it). Here the function of the iodine is just to absorb Xrays, which it does very efficiently. Any area that has the iodine dye in it will come out brighter than bone even.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I remember reading about a skin test using iodine for wounds-- you paint a circle (quarter size?) on the skin of your abdomen. If it is gone within so many hours, 24?, then you need it. If the circle remains, your body supposedly has enough iodine. Md's pedaling newsletters wrote about it, maybe one named ? Another test involves placing a thermometer under your arm (in the armpit area) before getting out of bed in the morning. If temp is below normal, you are low thyroid. I would think you do it for three consecutive mornings when you're feeling well.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hi: Please note that temp ranges for first waking test are lower than 98.6. Here is a summary of the test and some recommend that the temp be measured at waking (no activity not even to get out of bed at all, no ingestion of any fluids or food, not even water) and then at 3 and 6 hours after waking. The reference temp after waking would be 98.6 F and at waking 97.8 - 98.2. If consistently 0.4 F below normal, some treatment is advised: At night, shake down a thermometer - be sure that it is shaken down and below 95 degrees. Next morning, on awakening, put the thermometer under your arm with the bulb in the armpit with no clothing between it and the armpit. Leave it there for 10 minutes (use snooze alarm if you wake up to an alarm). Just drowse for that time lying still. After 10 minutes, take the thermometer out, and read it, writing down the result right away. (On waking, most people don't think clearly and might forget the reading). This is known as your Early AM Basal Temperature, and the " normal " should be between 97.8 and 98.2. This reading taken by armpit is somewhat lower and somewhat more accurate than by mouth. If you have a low-grade infection this may read higher than your " normal " , therefore if it is in that range above, you should repeat the above procedure every other day for a week or so. If a menstruating female, also do it on the 2nd and 3rd day of your period. If lower than the range, you are probably hypothyroid, and if higher, then you are probably hyperthyroid (or you have an infection somewhere). <http://www.drrind.com/tempgraph.asp>Here is an interesting site that discusses the combination of adrenal and thyroid support, since metabolism rates can be modulated by either.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Another item that chelates flouride is boron. It is a good alternative for those who cannot safely do iodine without hyper montoring it. It also balances hormones and causes really strong bones. Just google boron for lots of info. I have used Tri-Boron by twin labs with success.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Trish, Prior to using Lugol's, make sure you are not allergic to iodine. That's the most important advice. But assuming you are not, you might consider using Lugol's as a veggie wash to start slowly with it. One drop per quart of water & soak veggies for 1 minute. -Lori > > > > > " Fluoride in tap water and toothpastes as well as chlorine in > > tap water both block iodine receptors in the thyroid gland that > > result in lowered thyroid hormone production.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I was convinced to try the temperature thing when I learned that how warm your feel is not necessarily how the thermometer will read. You can feel hot, but the thermometer reading may show you are cold & below normal temps. I prefer the digital thermometer... it beeps when it's ready. I'm averaging 96.5 upon waking, & when taken in the doc office I'm 97 something. I just had my adrenals tested too (saliva test ata canaryclub.org) ... It is pathetic... I am 50% lower than the lowest 'normal' range for each of 4 time periods in a day. Most docs are really REALLY bad at knowing anything about adrenals and thyroid too. If my newest doc doesn't work out I'll figure out a way to go to Dr. Rind. Brown wrote: > Hi: > > Please note that temp ranges for first waking test are lower than > 98.6.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi Ken, Dr Simonicni states that fungal disease can be cured either with sodium bicaronate or with Lugols iodine for topical problems. He says that iodine applied to the skin will cure psoriasis which he states is fungal. So maybe this is why the iodine/msm seemed to work for the jock itch, as it is fungal. I am in the process of treating my psoriasis with lugols topically and am into the 2nd to 3rd week and I am seeing some interesting improvement. I am using the same protocol he recommends for skin cancer as found on his website. http://www.curenaturalicancro.com/ I have been taking it orally for well over a year now and my thyroid function is slightly up, had been borderline low, and fibrocystic breast disease is gone. My doctor approves of lugols orally, She says she has seen many a case of fibrocystic breast disease disappear with its use. I generally take 2 drops about 4 times a week now, but when I started I used much more for about 3 or 4 months. Don't remeber how much now, but more like daily, probably 5 drops. Have also used it for bladder infection with good results and for GI upset one time. My son applied it to a benign cyst on his neck mixed with DMSO and it went away. But after about 8 months it returned so I think he really never got the job fully done. Lugols iodine seems to never to cease to amaze me.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 ZMooks, I wanted to comment on your cotton issue. I read on the scabies forum of a woman in NY in which bought some underwear at a local drugstore. After wearing this cotton, she developed symptoms such as ours. Due to that post I researched cotton. Most of it is genetically modified to combat the boweevil that destroys it from the inside. They are also using PBPR's, or modified parasites to combat the parasites commonly destroying our cotton crops. These practices are not confined to the US and are employed worldwide. Monsato is involved and there are two other companies of which I can not remember their names. I myself believe there is something not right with the cotton on the market and currently don't buy much of it, esp. the cotton with the cotton logo in the tree. My own experience is that cotton seems to harbor these things and nothing I do completely rids them from the cotton. Brushed cotton is the worst.Lucy Lu <lucylu62@...> wrote: Hi all,Just a quick note--I started mixing iodine with lotionand rubbing it all over my skin--for the last 2 nites-- and have slept really well.LL--- zmooks <zuleikahwalker > wrote:> Before this all started I had to throw away 12 or so> new cotton t-> shirts because they kept getting holes in them. > Now this 'thing' seems like its gone, and in the> last few days here > come the holes in my clothes again....believe me I> have thought up all > possibilities, and now I am worried that we might> have some weird > cotton parasite or something....has anyone> experienced this?> > Has anyone heard of this?

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Can someone clarfiy Dr. P's opinion on iodine please? Have read in his book that he thinks iodine should be supplemented in mcgs but in files this should be higher - sort of backing up Brownsteins work. My daughter's iodine test has come back as very low - this I'm hoping will explain her hypothyroidism. Will be speaking with dr. at next conulstation but in the meantime I'm trying to get informed fully to dicuss this with him. If someone is very deficient in iodine if you add in at a low dose would that be effective over time or do you need to slowly get the levels up and then keep a maintenance dose after then? Have read if someone is very deficient in iodine then if you increase by too much - ie mg instead of mcg then the hypothyroidism will get worse as the body has adjusted to very low doses so can't tolerate as much after then. There is alot of conflicting information out there, am aware of protocol from iodine group but would really like to know what Dr Ps views are on it of at all poss. Be grateful for any feedback/experiences. Thans Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
