iodine sources

[Guest guest]

I am the one that posted that. Dr. Brownstein uses it for his patients that have sensitivities to Iodoral. I am using it for my kids. They are 40 & 47 lbs. (4 & 6 1/2 years) per his suggestion for low temps. We are doing 2 drops in juice 3 x a week. I tried it and it does not taste too bad. It is VERY expensive on this website. I get it for $8 / bottle from Dr. Brownstein.

Do you know why he uses that instead of lugol's?

Maybe it is something in Lugols that causes a reaction and that is why he tries something else since Iodoral is a Lugols formula.

Ok, I thought you might know. Maybe you could ask next time you see him.

As I understand it, the detoxified iodine does not contain iodide, only

iodine. Perhaps it has

something to do with that. I'd be interested to know.

Let me preface this by writing that although I have

not completed an in-depth study of Cayce I am not

unfamilar with his work and I do respect it. Having

said that, I am questioning whether the chemical

composition of the product offered above is the same

as Iodoral. I think, precisely, that means Iodide

too.

Do you know?

Thanks,

Abbe

No, I don't know what the differences are. I have a spectrometer and could look at both of them to see if they are similar but Its packed away and very difficult to set up due to the physical constraints of my current living accommodations. Perhaps when I move into a larger house I can have enough lab space to work with my experiments. No plans on the horizon at this time.

I am using Lugol's. The taste is awful though so be ready. I hold my

breath, drink the water I mixed with it then drink some kombucha right after

and it helps some.

The taste is pretty bad though I'm tempted to buy the expensive iodoral

pills.

Our government does all kinds of stupid things in order to " protect us from

ourselves " but it's really just an excuse to clamp down on us further and

control us. Every day it's something else we have to be protected from.

okay, i think i just found the answer to my question. all about keeping

the drug (meth) makers from getting their hands on the stuff. how

ridiculous.

i am considering trying iodine as a supplement b/c i read how it helps with

body temp regulation and i have Raynaud's. i have eliminated gluten and all

grains, gone on a high fat low carb diet, but i am not finding these changes

to help. has anyone used Lugol's solution as a supplement? the dosage is

only 1-2 drops.

if i order this am i going to be put on a list with the DEA? LOL.

amanda

does anyone know why sources of Lugol's iodine are limited to one bottle per

transaction on various sites per DEA/FDA regulations? and also why there is

a limit to the strength of iodine you can purchase? what is the issue with

taking iodine as a supplement? why is it being regulated so heavily?

thanks for all the links! yes, i just found Folk Medicine through interlibrary

loan and i am looking forward to reading it. i was reading about iodine and this

book on www.jcrow.com all the things you can cure with ACV..very exciting!

Hi and Sharon,

I wrote a small book on iodine that's available in the files section

of the Madison, WI Weston Price chapter e-group site:

wapfmadisonchapter

I don't mind if the book is uploaded to the Native Nutrition e-group.

I tried to include every bit of information I could think of

(background information, forms of iodine, sources, etc.)

I will be manufacturing the book in a printed format later this year.

I need to add copy-edits but most of the information won't change.

I spoke to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) several times. You can

purchase several one-ounce (5%) bottles from the same supplier as

separate transactions (same phone call, same day, etc). The 2% can be

sold in larger bottles. It's really the 5% bottles that are

regulated. As Sharon pointed out, the ruling (that went into effect

August 1, 2007) is due to meth traffic.

Lugol's has three ingredients:

• iodine

• potassium iodide

* pure water

The recipe for Lugol's is in the iodine book. Iodine is regulated but

potassium iodide is not. Farmers can still purchase iodine crystals

if they provide paperwork that proves that they are in the business

of farming. Due to the meth traffic, the DEA will not allow chemical

companies to sell iodine to anyone in a residential area.

DeForest Jarvis was a Vermont ear, nose and throat doctor but also

helped Vermont farmers give Lugol's to their animals.

You can purchase 500 mg. of potassium iodide crystals from NASCO in

Ft. Atkinson, WI for about $40—this much potassium iodide makes about

eight, two ounce bottles. The iodine doctors have determined that

different organs in the human body prefer different forms of iodine

(iodine and potassium iodide). Lugol's is a very good formula because

it contains both forms.

Saturated Solution of Potassium Iodine (SSKI) is a clear liquid and

it's more potent than Lugol's. The recipe for (SSKI) is in my book. I

have also included remedies for both Lugol's and SSKI. SSKI can be

taken internally and it's also used for topical applications because

it's clear. I've been experimenting with it as a deodorant.

Lugol's and SSKI are both old-fashioned remedies. Mainstream medicine

recognizes SSKI is an expectorant (it's actually much more than an

expectorant). Martha, my co-chapter leader, remembers taking SSKI as

a child for a lung infection.

BTW: It is important to take selenium along with iodine (scientists

do not understand why—they only know this to be true from what they

have observed). Selenium is very important for a lot of reasons. I

found research this week in a Polish scientific journal that found

low selenium in children with food allergies—compared to healthy

children without food allergies.

Sharon—dulse contains very little iodine. There's a chart in a

chapter I wrote about seaweed. Kelp is high in iodine but you still

need to eat a lot to get what the iodine doctors consider to be a

maintenance dose.

DeForest Jarvis' recipe for Lugol's, apple cider vinegar and some

honey —in water—tastes a little better than just Lugol's and water.

Meth labs. At least that's the FDA answer - it's a key ingredient in

meth

production. I'm getting my iodine with dulse and am ordering dulse

drops.

I'm tired of the whole lock-dock on Lugol and the insanity of it.

Jo,

Thanks so much for this post!

I have just started on iodine (Iodoral) and am curious about the

selenium. I have heard that it is important to take selenium with

iodine from more than one person (incl Jerry Brunetti in his 2007 WAPF

lecture).

What kind of selenium supplement should I take and how much?

I will go download the book you wrote and see if it's in there... Yep

there it is! 200-400 mcg. per day.

OK, so can you tell me -- what brand of selenium supplement do you

recommend?

Also, I'm wondering about supplementing my one-year-old. My milk

supply dwindled when she was 9 months so she is not breast feeding

anymore (of course she may not have been getting enough iodine from my

breast milk even when she was breast feeding, seeing how I am

deficient). I am concerned that she is not getting enough iodine. I

spoke to Dr. Flechas about testing her but he said I would need to

collect her morning urine -- and she is still in diapers. So I want to

do that when I potty train her (not for a few more months yet).

I've started giving her fish head broth but I'm wondering if it is

safe to supplement a one-year-old with Lugol's drops? I ordered some

for her but am not sure at what ageI can begin giving them to her.

Thanks -

Ann Marie

PS: The book looks awesome! I will read it in its entirety tonight.

I'm a bit obsessed with the whole iodine connection these days... oh,

and incidentally I posted this the other day on my blog -- the

possible connection between low milk supply and iodine deficiency:

I've been using iodine as a deoderant too! I use the Lugol's kind

(when it's winter I don't care if it browns my armpits!) and it works

really well. So far I've been alternating it with the " crystal

deoderant " which I think is alum (aluminum - ack!). I can't use any

store deoderant because I get horrible painful rashes!

RE: your iodine research - Someone recently said that potassium iodide

could cause iodine deficiency and more thyroid problems because it

clogs some receptor or something like that.
