Re: OT - Iodine stories

The iodine you are talking about, is that the stuff that all of the drug stores and Walmart carry? I though that was not safe for human consumption because it was not water based or something like that.From: helen/zhebee <zhebee@...>Subject: [ ] OT - Iodine stories Date: Sunday, November 9, 2008, 6:16 AM

Hi B.......

It looks like you are doing all the right things.

(See his letter below)

I am a big fan of iodine. I'll tell you an

interesting story about iodine. This happened

long before the internet and before all this

talk about iodine when iodine was a scary

thing to consume internally.

As a teenager, I had Graves Disease (overactive

thyroid and goiter). At one point, my doctor

decided to try having me consume ordinary

topical iodine at 15 drops per day. I did that

for 2 weeks. It did nothing for the disease but

I lived through it. In those days, iodine came

with a Skull and Crossbones on it. Scary.

Just so you know, I finally had a very

successful surgery (surprising, isn't it. Some

times, medicine makes a mistake and 'cures'

someone, not that I consider it a cure) and I

have had no problems with it since, unlike so

many others.

So years later, I was helping out an old fellow

prepare his meals, etc. He told me he had had

ulcers a few years before. I asked what he did

to get rid of it and he told me he used iodine.

I couldn't believe it. I was thinking surgery.

I wondered how he knew to use iodine. He

said he used iodine for colds and flus, too. So

I asked how he took it. He said he dropped 5

drops in a glass of water or milk and drank it

on an empty stomach. Then he ate nothing for

30 minutes or so. He only did it once a day.

This man was an alcholic and he didn't quit

drinking either through the iodine treatment

he gave himself. You have to understand

that, at the time, there was no cure for ulcers.

The whole thing was like a major miracle to

me.

His mother-in-law when she was about

89 years old, was scheduled for surgery to

have 2/3 of her stomach removed for ulcers.

When he told them about his iodine 'trick' as

he called it, they tried it on her and she was

able to cancel her surgery and never did have

to have it.

It wasn't until a couple of years later, that

science discovered that ulcers was caused by

some kind of bug or parasite that likes to live

in the stomach. The iodine must have killed it.

Since it was just recently discovered the significance of Helicobacter

pylori bacterial infection in the cause of many ulcer cases, it is not too

surprising that iodine could have a very beneficial affect on such stomach

problems. I might add that just plain old cayenne powder taken orally has

cured ulcers as well.

Hi The iodine used in the stories were justthe ordinary iodine carried in the drugstores. Note that, in my own case, it wasa doctor who prescribed it and I rememberthat he said it would be ok to use the ordinary iodine. Also notice that in noneof the stories did anyone take the iodinefor very long. I am not saying that it wasgood to use. I am just telling what happened.I have since purchased and used the foodgrade iodine that we have here in health stores. Iodine is good for us and in biggeramounts than we previously thought butit still can be very toxic when overdone. It'sthe old story that you can overdo anythingso care needs to be taken.If I wanted to use iodine and I

could not get anything but the ordinary iodine, I would still consume it today. Helen From: WILLIAM GREENAMYER <greenamyer@...> Sent: Sunday, November 9, 2008 6:54:59 AMSubject: Re: [ ] OT - Iodine
