Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Its good probably that people cannot get the seven percent, its strong stuff. I burned myself twice with it and will not use it again. You would think I would have learned the first time....so I like the 2 percent solutions because they are much safer to apply. Mark Sircus Ac., OMD From: slavek krepelka Hello Shaman, Thank you for this one. What I see here are these points: 1) First of all it may be difficult for many to get hold of 7% iodine tincture. Tincture means usually 55% alcohol, water, iodine and iodide mix. I do not know about a readily obtainable 7% or stronger iodine tincture nowadays, even though 11.835% lugol [potassium iodide, iodine, de-ionized water] solution can be gotten as Kent [marine supplies] lugol. The common iodine tincture sold today at least in Canada is first of all only 5% split between 2.5% potassium iodide and 2.5% iodine and second, the alcohol is isopryl [+ undisclosed % of propylene glycol].....
