Iodine and Potassium Iodide

A few days ago I have a very interesting meeting with one older woman about iodine.

We were to visit my wife parents and that women is their neighbour. Since the weather was nice my son was outside with the rest of the kids.
He came and said that he have punched his foot with a nail and it was hurting very much.

So he took his shoe to show me the wound and it was just a pinched skin, nothing serious and I said that when we will go home we will put some iodine on the wound and he calmed down and continue to play with the kids.

The woman said that she can give me iodine and we can put it now because she is drinking it every day.

I was very curious and I asked a few questions and the conversation started

She was drinking Lugols iodine but on the bottle, there was no information about its percentage or purity. It was in a plastic bottle.
She said that some doctor said to her to drink it , 2 times per day ,5 drops in a dose. Then she said that she must do that for 2 weeks and then stop for some time and repeat the protocol if needed. No other cofactors she mentioned.

I tried to explain the basics of iodine protocol and all additional cofactors and she was very interested in that.

Before iodine, she said that she had liver enzymes that were 7 times from the max allowed. She tried everything but with no success. Few months after Iodine ( as she described before) her next results were normal. Her doctor asked her how she managed to normalize her liver enzymes and she told him.

Doctor told her that it is not true and that he will never believe that iodine can do that because it is dangerous. Her liver was completely clear and results normal.
He told her that it was probably from something else and that she just think it is from iodine and suggested to be careful with it.

Some time later her husband was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes. She started him on iodine too for a few months and then his doctors recommended radio and chemotherapy.
She said that she think that he was ok and cured after iodine but doctors insisted and her husband accepted their opinion.
Even after he finished the chemotherapy,she said that doctors were amazed how good was he feeling , because patients are usually crushed by that therapy.

She was convinced that iodine strengthened him . Besides that she was giving him a lot of fruit and vegetable juices by doctors recommendation, and also suggested to not eat meats and saturated fats.

So this is an example how some older couple tried iodine and they saw results from it without knowing anything about it.
The women also told that she also had some very serious problems with her uterus and after iodine, it was also back to normal.

Interesting experience that proves the importance of iodine
 
Did my x-ray today. Went well, but they said that they would recommend my doctor to send me to another hospital for another x-ray, but this time with FDG as a contrast fluid.

FDG=Fludeoxyglucose or fluorodeoxyglucose. Radiated fluor sugar, must be very healthy. They recommend that you avoid children and pregnant women the following 12 hours due to the radiation...you mitt.

The radiation you are exposed to is 4-5 times more than what a personal normally is exposed to during a year.

Maybe Lugol might come handy before and after.

Wanted to give an update on my efforts to heal. I have been taking Lugols since the start of this thread but in fairly low does and infrequently due not eating optimally, travel and drug use (cannabis and alcohol).But in the last 2-3 months Ive started eating low carb paleo and taking Ioderal in higher doses, namely 25 mg every other day and no longer smoke weed.I still have a few drinks here and there of hard liquor but wait at least two days after my last Iodine intake and take pleaty of nac and vit C. Is there a problem with taking Iugols and drinking alcohol? I am trying to do my best to quit as alcoholism runs in the family(Usually go a week or two without drinking and relapse for a day or two but only a few drinks).

Cutting down on carbs always helps to quit alcohol. The later is practically a "carb" addiction. So it is good that you are working on your diet. It will strengthen your will.

The probiotic enema should help in balancing your gut flora. 5 HTP is also another supplement that helps people quit alcohol.

There is a book that helps puts these things into perspective: The Mood Cure by Julia Ross. I think you will enjoy it a lot. It would be an inspiration for your health journey :)

Those are very interesting testimonials. I'm reminded of a correspondent with hepatitis C who told me how his liver nodules disappeared in the echography after taking lugol. I thought that was pretty remarkable considering the nodules were a sign of liver cirrhosis!

So the test they already did was suggestive of something but not conclusive?
 
One thing I've noticed from the iodine and cofactors is that my nails are getting stronger. This is a relatively minor benefit but it means a lot to me! :D

Not only are they growing faster, but it seems the configuration of the nail beds is changing. They were pretty flat which meant the nail grew without any of the sort of curve that matches the finger. This was most pronounced on my index fingers, which contributed to their brittleness. If they managed to get a bit of length, the sides would actually flare upwards.

At first I was attributing the faster growth to a new job where my hands get a lot of fine motor exercise. But then I noticed the nail profiles were more curved than before. I've actually have to file them down periodically, rather than them being constantly short because of chipping and breakage.

Iodine is magic! :wizard:
 
So I prepared the probiotic enema for my mother last night - I used 4 of the multi-strain and 1 of the saccharomyces boulardii as suggested by Gaby and let it sit overnight in 7 tablespoons of distilled water. She'll do the enema this morning in a little while as she just got up. I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, I got that feeling. They didn't tell me...

They just called me from the hospital, wanted me to come tomorrow and also wanted to check my kidney function before giving me the contrast fluid. Wow, that was fast!

I am at a 100 net grams of carbs a day but still have too much sugar at times, anywhere from 20-30 grams usually from all the dark chocolate so will work on that.

I know you recommend the book before and I will try to read it but have been taking Gaba and a gram of magnesium a day to help stay calm and relaxed. But I am going to reread Dr. Brownstiens book and am thinking about uping my lugols dose to 50mg a day or every other day. As the Iodine helps with my overall health and most importantly my sexual function.

Still not sure what caused my vision to worsen overnight. Then couple months later to develop ED and all those other symptoms over night again, at least it felt like it !. Though I think its some sort of infection(s).

Thanks for all the help :)

Well, I'm gonna try her protocol with some cofactors added.
 
So my mother did the probiotic enema yesterday morning, and all went well. She was able to retain it (as it was so little water - just 7 tablespoons) and did not have to eliminate any of it. She seemed to be doing a bit better already yesterday, no gas, bloating/stomach ache/discomfort, etc. We'll see how it goes/continues, and maybe she'll do another one at a later time. Her anxiety seems to have reduced a bit too.

While doing this protocol as her doctor said to her she was unaware how much iodine is she taking because she bought the lugols from abroad after she visited the doctor.
She only remembered that she must take 5 drops , 2 times per day for 2 weeks and that was all.
I don't think that the doctor was also aware how much iodine will her patient ingest.
The lugols that she bought was from unknown origin and unknown concentration.
She was lucky not to have any severe detox reactions, or the lugols solutions was to weak to start any detox reactions.But important is that she have a good results after doing it for some time.

How you eat is directly linked with your general health. You'll find clues in the reading material, but cutting down on sugar is one of the most important priorities. Lugol is also an excellent mood enhancer, so hopefully you'll feel better soon!

This is really great, Seekin Truth! Thank you for sharing. Please let us know if things continue to improve if she does another on.
