Re: Iodine as a fever reducer

February 19, 2011

Eggs are high biotin. You know where this conversation is going. :-)

Just wanted to report, Jimmy has had a fever 2 nights in a row with 103+ temps. To make a long story short (ha, which is virtually impossible for me to do) -- we put a patch of iodine on his back (between his shoulder blades), and within 20 min, his fever reduced to around 99-100 degrees. He still has a low grade fever (which is fine)

We haven't used motrin or tylenol, and we managed to keep him hydrated. He acts 'normal' during the day, and he usually gets the high fever at night.

Today he has 'post nasal drip' (no green anything) and has a productive cough...

Here's the kicker...no jargon. Completely with it, and super calm and intelligent thoughts, sentences, and thought processes -- he's so with it, and so put together (even for typical kids - and I would go as far to say 'better' than a typical child)--but he sounds like crap. The only other 'annoying' thing is - he is consistently wetting the bed (which is just a laundry issue.) I have upped his supps, but it's still happening. (normally, this goes away when these are upped)

(and yes, I'm now juicing for him all day because that is what he is asking for. Ate 3 eggs this morning, and wanted more. But this is all he will eat. He doesn't want crackers, or sweets, nothing. Eggs and juicer juice.)

thoughts?

I adore you Toni!! Yes, I know where it's going. He has been low ox for two

days. Except this morning, I gave him beets in his juicer drink. (he got

calcium citrate 20 min prior)

No rash on face. (this is good!)

Viral kid and maybe I have been in denial for 1.5 years?

I feel like there are layers. You had to fix his nutrition before you can fix the viruses. Mitochondria not working right, how can you eliminate viruses?

Eggs are high in sulfer, too.

Nasal drip is reported in just about everyone that begins iodine

supplementation. I think its the nose clearing out all the gunk that iodine

deficiency has allowed it to accumulate. Or it could just be the histamine

reaction from die off/dead bugs. It goes away.

Iodine was the first treatment of choice back in the olden days for fever.

Tylenol should never be used. Ever. Bad stuff. Sure it reduces the fever, but

also reduces Glutathione.

If the bedwetting is new. It may be virus and bacteria that have gotten into his

bladder/ureters on the way out.

I agree. My husband was caught off guard with the fever (as it was high) -- and

went into panic mode, thank goodness, I kept a clear head. Jimmy asked for a

bath because he was hot. I have always trusted his 'instinct' -- and we did

that too. I had thrown out our tylenol, but I did have motrin (dye free) on

hand.

So, we have putting this patch on him for two days - how long should I continue

(in your opinion?)

I have done a patch test on myself, it's completely gone within 3 hours, with

Jimmy, his is very very 'light' but it's still there after 24 hours. I thought

that the skin vs drops would be safer, I guess? I don't know, I am very new to

the iodine stuff...could you post some good places to go to read? or a book?

Thanks for the constant on the thread, I would have NEVER thought of iodine as a

solution to a high fever -- and during the panic, I remembered and -- I thought

" IODINE! " My husband, couldn't believe it, (he said it was the bath) but the

second night, no bath, just iodine, same results. He's a believer....
