Iodine and Potassium Iodide

There seems to be two possible approaches when it comes to mixing iodine with lipid. In one version, you can mix it with unsaturated lipids, such as vegetable oils. In another version, you can mix it with saturated lipids, such as mineral oil. Both versions have their proponents with different reason why one version is better than the other, but without proper experiments we cannot know what is the best approach.

Here is the first version:


And the second version, which also has a recipe:

 
I did some experiments with taking iodine with lipids. I tried sunflower oil, rich in linoleic acid, coconut oil, rich in lauric acid, and high-oleic sunflower oil, rich in oleic acid. And there seem to be a difference when I take it with high-oleic sunflower oil. I feel like my glands under my chin are swollen, which is something that used to happen when I was just starting taking iodine, several years ago, after the first two-week period from the start of the protocol. But now it starts immediately, on the first day, even though I was taking iodine quite some time before this with other oils.

Last November, I also had the same experience, which surprised me because I was not trying to experiment with iodine and oils, I was just taking some olive oil with my salad on the same day that I was taking iodine. I felt a stiff neck, which I know is a standard iodine detox symptom, but it wasn't happening in the days before I took olive oil.

I was actually expecting to feel something with either linoleic or lauric acid, not oleic, which is why I took it last. But I felt nothing with the other two oils.

There is this study that confirms my experience that there is a difference between different oils, and in that case oleic acid oil was also better than linoleic, but unfortunately there is no comparison between any iodized oil and standard Lugol.

I am aware of studies where it was shown that olive oil improves absorption of things like lycopene, but I never thought about trying it for iodine.
 
Can anyone recommend a good liquid selenium? I bought this, and I like that it doesn't have any other ingredients.

I was very displeased to see that Iodoral, the pill form of Lugols, now has silicon dioxide in it, so I am boycotting its manufacturer Optimox. I have reverted to J Crows liquid Lugols.

Sodium selenate is not a good form of selenium (some claim it's pretty toxic).
The Eidon brand selenium I bought is sodium selenate, so now I wonder if I've been poisoning myself.

Anyone have thoughts about sodium selenite instead? I thinking of trying try liquid sodium selenite from Allergy Research Group. It has sodium hydroxide in it. Is this bad?
 
I don't know if the type you mentioned is toxic, but I did find this article that discusses the form that I've taken:

I had been taking the selenomethionine form. However, I'm trying to replace pill form supplements with liquid or powdered forms, because I can't stand swallowing so many pills anymore.
 
If you want to continue taking selenomethionine there is a liquid form. Search for selenomethionine liquid.
I found one by Triquetra. Thank you.

I am aware of studies where it was shown that olive oil improves absorption of things like lycopene, but I never thought about trying it for iodine.

I found more confirmations that iodine should be taken with unsaturated oils. In this study, people got 3 times more iodine in the blood when they were taking "vitamin F", which is a mixture of linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic acids:


And here they gave some women on the iodine therapy a linoleic acid:

The carrier of this iodine seems to be the unsaturated fatty acid linoleic acid. In the case of severe vaginitis, large doses of linoleic acid in the form of safflower oil (10 capsules a day) are required with the iodine to bring the mucous membrane back to normal.


Unfortunately, there was no comparison with the oleic acid.
 

But, still, i share these links.​
