Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 TV--I think I get my share of iodine. I use it alot with the goats, dipping navels etc. With them you can paint under their tails on the bare skin. The faster they absorb it the more they need it. If when I get it on me, and I absorb it quickly, I paint alittle more on myself. <G> Deb Wild-Heaven Nubians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 That's not the way it works. You don't get dietary iodide from painting iodine on your skin or on the skin of a goat.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi Donna, I've been wondering about this painting of iodine...it didn't seem like that would be effective. According to DC Jarvis, doctor in the 60's, in " Arthritis and Vermont Folk Medicine " (or the other way around), he recommended one drop 3 times a week of Lugol's (made for internal use)......which is quite a bit when you think about it. I did that for several years and now just take it when I see deficencies coming.......benefits have been remarkable, from healing of tooth infections, no colds, warm hands and feet, more energy, feeling stronger and more able to " weather " things.....like stress......(and insect bites) .and on the side, according to government sources this is the first response (and maybe the only one?) to radiation poisening....... neglecting the importance of iodine, especially for children and young adults who still have a huge thyroid/thymus gland.......shows a fantastic ignorance of our western medicine.

Price foundation site: http://www.westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/mineralprimer.html Do a page find (it's Ctrl-F in many browsers) for Iodine, it's partway down. Good sources are unrefined sea salt (as opposed to Kosher salt--I buy Celtic Sea Salt in both coarse grains and ground for the table) and sea veggies like kelp. I also eat lots of wild-caught salmon roe for the iodide, because I'd read somewhere else on the WAP site that in traditional societies they load up on it in the 6 months prior to marriage (and thus pregnancy).

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I appreciated the posts about the Iodine issue and that the Feds have curtailed our use of a more powerful solution but I happen to have a large bottle labeled as STRONG IODINE SOLUTION ! which ingredients are listed as Iodine (I) . . . .4.5 to 5.5 g/100mL and Potassium Iodide (KI) . . . . 9.5 to 10.5 g/100mL and I can see that this is much stronger than what we can purchase presently. So I wonder if someone can recommend a daily dosage for me when using this stronger solution, please. Obie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
