In follow up clarification: If we always mix the Iodine with Ascorbic acid then is it 100% converted to Iodide? If so, I will only be getting the thyroid functioning benefits and not the Iodine positives (prostate). By mixing it in water only with-out Vit C, I will be getting both sides of the Iodine benefits but will have to tolerate the taste. The other option is to take Iodine with Vit C for higher concentration of Iodide and paint Iodine on the bottom of foot for specific Iodine benefits: which is what your doing.

Do we paint in the middle of bottom of foot or just on inside forearm area ? Difference? When we mix Vit C or ACV with Baking Soda are there any Bicarb benefits (sodium) left or are they used up by the acids intervention?"

06/16/2010: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Joe...The best method to discover if you have excess heavy metals or lack of minerals -- which is also suggested by Ted -- is the hair analysis.

The urine analysis is not so accurate and is just a measure of the minerals and electrolytes that are excreted by the kidneys in one particular instance in time, whereas hair analysis will more accurately show accumulation of a particular mineral or heavy metal -- or lack of it -- in your body over a much longer period of time because hair is part of the skin tissue itself.

The health water mixture you suggest for yourself should be OK, but you mention in your post that you will take 1 litre of this mix per week which is not correct, not sure if this was a misprint or not.

Borax dosage is normally 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon Borax in 1 litre of water PER DAY. This borax dosage should then be taken for 4 days on followed by three days off the Borax. My own method is to just take the borax this way for a maximum of a week or two every month as an anti-fungal preventative. But if you had something like candida(fungus) or rosacea(demodex mites), then this dosage should be taken continuously and as stated for a much longer period.

The sea salt maintenance dosage should be 1/4 teaspoon sea salt in 1 litre of water per day also. I normally just use sea salt on my food and also use it dissolved in water to flush out and help disinfect my nasal passages if there's a problem.

And the iodine dosage is 12.5 mgs per day. I take this dosage every day usually together with Vitamin C as ascorbate in water. This way the iodine portion of Lugol's is converted to iodide and there is no iodine taste. I also use foot-painting with tincture of iodine which is also quite effective.

But if you are taking lugol's as an anti-fungal or antiseptic specifically for your intestines, it is better to take the lugol's in water alone, because lugol's consists of iodide as well as iodine but iodine is the one that has the anti-microbial action in the intestines.

Within the body iodide, in small amounts, is needed for the thyroid, but iodine is the form needed and utilized by the mammary glands(women) and prostate glands of men. Other organs and mucus glands within the body also need and can use both the iodide and iodine forms. This is why the RDA dose for iodine -- about a 150 microgms, based solely on the only the thyroid's estimate requirement only -- just doesn't cut it as the proper daily iodine/iodide requirement for the whole body."

06/17/2010: Joe from Jupiter, Fl replies: "Bill: Thank You for explaining things very well. I've been sharing the importance of Iodine with deficiency and havoc it can cause. I also heard that along with the halogens that soy inhibits Iodine too and soybean oil is in all packaged foods. Add chlorine, fluoride, bromine and we got a perfect storm for Iodine being depleted.

When we mix Lugol's 2% Solution -- potassium Iodide 4%, Iodine 2%. I heard that 4 drops would equal the 12.5mg per day suggested dosage. Is this correct ?

When we mix lugol's with Vit c we are only getting the Iodide property benefit b/c conversion of Iodine to
100% Iodide ?

To get both Iodine and Iodide we can just mix Lugol's with warm water and get addtional anti-fungal GI benefits ? Or we can just paint to get both Iodine and Iodide into our system?

You see Bill,I have been taking lugol's with just Vit C and not painting. I just want to cover getting both aspects of Iodine and Iodide into the body.

I have red online from other physicians that they say Iodine painting does not absorb properly because most of it evaporates, so it's not accurate measure of how depleted you are or how quickly the shading is gone?

I'm skeptical of the truth with these guys and our govt (FDA) They seem to want to fuel sickness for various organizational networks that benefit;
health care, population control, food industries makers , ,

Is it ok to mix HP,sea salt,borax,4 drops Iodine in 1 liter jar to drink over 1 day period or could this be to heavy detox? I trying to streamline things for my father. Thanks Again :)"

06/17/2010: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Joe...Iodine is certainly a favourite -- along with Magnesium, Vitamin C, Borax, Sea Salt, Dessicated Liver and Ted's alkalizing remedies. All these, as a daily or weekly protocol, seem to work well in keeping my own body terrain and immune system fairly strong.

The classic form of Lugol's is 5gms Iodine(5%) with 10gms potassium iodide(10%) dissolved in 85gms water (85%). The original form of lugol's was always at 5% strength. This was discovered or invented by Jacques Lugol in 1829 and is still the best form of lugol's to supplement. But it is getting harder and harder to buy this form. The US govt now does not permit free sale of lugol's in amounts greater than 2 oz. The drugs companies seem bent on making it very difficult indeed for the population to obtain these necessary dietary supplements in order to stay healthy now. And meanwhile, at the other end, the FDA seem determined to ignore all the poisons in our food, soil and water supply. This is a very nasty alliance for sure.

Another example is dietary potassium -- which you can only ever buy now in pills made in less than 100 mg amounts. A recent European study has demonstrated that we need a minimum of at least 3.2 GRAMS of potassium per day as a daily intake for health.

I even saw both iodine crystals and potassium iodide crystals in a shop in Bangkok on a recent trip, so I could've made up my own proper form of lugol's quite easily, but I thought there was no need because I had found aqueous iodine. Later, I discovered this iodine was only 1% strength. Next time, I'll use my eyes..lol

A drop of 5% lugol's solution will contain about 6.3 mgs of iodine/iodide. So 2 drops of 5% lugol's will give you 12.6 mgs. However, the 2% lugol's that you are using will contain less than 3.1 mgs per drop so you will have to use about 4 drops per daily dose to achieve the necessary 12.5 mgms.

When you mix lugol's with Vit C it will turn colorless with no taste because the iodine in the lugol's transforms into iodide. The best methods to supplement both the iodide and iodine forms is to take lugol drops in water or to use footpainting or just use both.

It's OK to mix HP, sea salt, borax, 4 drops Iodine in a liter of water and take it daily -- but remember that Borax should be taken for only 4 days on -- with 3 days off the Borax. The reason for this is that Borax stimulates androgens (male hormone production), and the cycling of 4 days on and 3 days off Borax will prevent over-stimulation of these hormones."

06/17/2010: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Joe...Thanks for your questions.

Do we paint in the middle of bottom of foot or just on inside forearm area ?

Normally you would paint a 5 X 3 inch area of the bottom of the foot. I do this just before going to bed. Once you feel that your iodine levels are OK, then paint your feet once every 3 or four days.

When we mix Vit C or ACV with Baking Soda are there any Bicarb benefits (sodium) left or are they used up by the acids intervention?

It's always best to take just sodium bicarbonate with water on its own, because it has a different function to the BS and ACV or Lemon/Lime remedies. Bicarbonates -- on their own -- are necessary for our bodies because they are essential to cell respiration, the bicarbonate ion is used in cell respiration to simultaneously swap out the carbon dioxide for oxygen via the blood. It is also essential to provide proper second stage digestion in the duodenum and bicarbonates also aid in alkalizing the blood. The lemon/lime remedies, when combined with sodium bicarbonates, create citrates and small amounts of ascorbates(Vit C). Similarly ACV and BS produce malates and acetates. Both these forms play a direct role in and enhance the Krebs energy production and utilization cycle within the cell. So bicarbonates play a role to alkalize blood(extracellular), aid digestion and cell respiration whereas ACV and Lemeon/Lime help to alkalize the intracellular cell environment and aid in the production of energy within the cells.

With respect to iodine/iodide intake, the RDA recommendations are sadly inadequate. This RDA is wholly based on what will cure hypothyroidism and goiter but does not account for the much larger amounts that are also critically useful and needed by our bodies.

Here is a breakdown:

*Research by Drs Abraham and Brownstein seems to confirm that the proper minimal daily intake of iodine should be about 12.5 mgms (The RDA recommendation is still only about 150 microgms which, in my opinion, is ridiculous). The proper dose is equivalent to about two drops of lugol's iodine or one Iodoral tablet per day.

*I have also read that in order to satisfy just the thyroid requirement realistically requires about 2-3 mgms of iodide. Any iodine/iodide in excess is then freely utilized further throughout the body.

*The Iodine form is necessary for the mammary glands(women), the uterus and the prostate but the iodide form is necessary for thyroid uptake. All other uptake -- by the endocrine system, the organs and the mucus glands -- can generally utilize both the iodide or iodine forms. So the gist of this is that both the iodide and the iodine forms are necessary for our bodies.

(There is also another iodine form that is taken up -- triodide -- but I'm trying to keep this explanation simple...LOL).

The necessity for the mucus glands to uptake iodine I find very interesting, because these mucus glands are usually the first line of anti-microbial defense for our bodies. They are situated in the salivary glands, stomach, intestines, uterus, prostate, nose, throat and lungs to name just a few. ALL mucus glands in our bodies absorb and utilize iodine.

A 2% USP iodine tincture will kill 90% of all microbes -- including viruses, bacteria and fungus -- in 90 seconds and yet, taken in proper amounts, iodine is very body-friendly and even very necessary for our bodies.

In both the uterus and women's breasts, the formation of cysts and fibroids is perhaps a direct expression of a lack of iodine in the diet. The uterus is an acidic environment, but if it gets too acidic through bad diet then bad bacteria will take hold and problems like fibroids and bacterial vaginosis will occur. The uterus also has friendly bacteria that generate hydrogen peroxide, similar to the lacto-bacillus in the intestines, which also helps to prevent invasion by the bad bacteria. But for these friendly bacteria to survive in the uterus necessitates the maintenance of a healthy acid pH zone. Iodine is also alkaline and, from the uterine mucus secretions, kills the bad bacteria in the uterus as well as helps to regulate the uterine environment by putting it back into a safe and healthy acidic zone. Iodine is also anti-cancer as well as anti-mutagenic. The weird thing is that if you go to a doctor about having uterine fibroids or vaginal bacteriosis -- then they will normally just check for small iodine amounts that satisfy just your thyroid and not the larger amounts that the rest of your body needs -- which includes amounts needed by the mucus glands in the uterus. This is how you can have a normal thyroid but still lack the necessary iodine requirement for the rest of your body which seems to require far more iodine/iodide than the thyroid.

The pre-cancerous cysts that can occur in women's breasts is a similar story and also the result of a bad diet or fluorinated drugs. In an acid body(low iodine), all cysts/tumors will utilize mucus glands and mucus as a cloak or cover against attack by the white blood cells. However if iodine is taken in proper amounts ALL mucus glands will uptake the iodine -- even the mucus glands on the cyst or tumor. And iodine can kill virtually all offending microbes quickly, is strongly alkaline and is also anti-cancer as well as anti-mutagenic. Another significant point is that iodine is regarded by some researchers as the ultimate anti-histamine. Click here for the evidence.. Therefore, by supplementing correct amounts of iodine, these offending fibroids, cysts and tumors are completely de-cloaked as the bad guys, unable to hide or fool the body's white blood cells and so are attacked and are more easily eradicated. And this same argument applies for the prostate gland.

Currenty, I'm also looking into the synergistic relationships between some of my favourite supplements/minerals -- which are magnesium, iodine, vitamin c, hydrogen peroxide, sodium and potassium. I've already discovered that magnesium has a significant enzymatic role in the body's production of tyrosine which is essential for the thyroid to be able to slice off the metallic ion from the iodide molecule and convert and store it as iodine in the thyroid. Therefore supplementing magnesium as well as lugol's iodine should definitely further help hypothyroid problems."

If one has alkaline saliva (cellular) and alkaline urine (blood )thru testing can one still benefit from taking the bicarbs in water remedy and the lemon/lime BS remedy?

I didn't know if it's necessary or overkill if the body is already alkaline ? They say when applying mag oil to body that it's fully absorb in 20 minutes but how do we know the milligrams we took in? I read it's only about 100mg, short of the 400mg we need per day?

P.S. Is Mixing a 15-20 drops of magnesium oil with 1 liter of water plus: Hp,Borax,Sea Salt,Iodine (Ted's dosages) OK ?"

06/23/2010: Bill from San Fernando, Luzon, Philippines replies: "Hi Joe...If both your urine and saliva pH are in a healthy alkaline zone or range then maybe there is little reason to alkalize continuously.

However, even though I'm fairly healthy now, I still alkalize at least once a day, usually I take sodium bicarbonate with water say an hour or so before I go to bed. I find this always helps me to wake up early quite easily the next morning without any fuzz or brain fog. I also still regularly take Ted's Lime/Lemon plus BS remedies every few days to ensure intracellular alkalinity.

Perhaps there is no need to alkalize two or three times a day if your own pH is OK. However, there will be times when you exercise -- this produces lactic acid locally in the muscles and alkalizing will help. There will also be times when you might not eat the right foods or drink too much, say, when you go out to a restaurant.

From my own point of view, the food and drink that we buy are all heavily refined, processed and deodorized now -- all acidic -- including vegetable oils, sugar, dairy, flour, canned goods, meats and bottled drinks. And this does work against our own health by creating more acid in our bodies, thereby encouraging acidity, poor health and illness. This acid must be neutralized otherwise factors like our immune system, hormones or digestion could be adversely affected.

This is why -- for me anyway -- I usually alkalize every day in some way, since I don't always eat and drink the right things.

Magnesium Oil is fairly harmless for the body. If taken in excess transdermally the magnesium will simply be excreted fairly quickly and harmlessly by the kidneys. If you take large doses of magnesium supplement by mouth, the worst that can happen is diarrhea. There are few other side effects with magnesium unless you have kidney problems."

People have posted on other websites about complaints concerning this particular cleanse. The tea is actually what causes the elaborate bowl movements. There is actually something in the tea that binds it in that pattern making it look that way. One lady talked about how because she had done the cleanse for the length they asked she ended up leakage issues. Please before doing this cleanse look up peoples complaints before acting on it. This cleanse is one of those too good to be true moments. I don't like putting down people's choices, especially since Robin's response sounds so good. Just be leary of buying stuff online from soarces you are not positive are good because since none of this stuff doesn't get FDA approved they can say what they want. I am a firm believer of much of the advice on this website so I am not against it, I just didn't like the comments I found about this particular cleanse."

05/21/2011: Annie from Central Nc, Usa replies: "Robin and Crista, You talk about a website about this internal cleanse but how do we find it? I'm eager to learn.

[YEA]  02/06/2011: Sarah from Kansas City, Mo replies: "I was just responding to your feed about mercury filling removal. I too had mine removed about 6 years ago and noticed a HUGE difference in the way I felt. I found a dentist (no longer practicing) who removed mercury fillings in a safe and unharmful way. She covered her entire face with a mask that had an oxygen tube on it for her to breath through and I had a mask with a suction hose so I didn't inhale the harmful vapors from the mercury. I would strongly suggest that everybody get rid of those horrible and dangerous fillings if they can. It was expensive but well worth the money!

You can google dentists that safely remove them. They have been specially trained to do so and I'm telling you, you'll feel so much better!! BTW, they need to outlaw those fillings because people are getting very ill and it's just not right! I hope everyone gets them removed! "

There is a place in Lawndale, CA that does this. That's not too far. The info I have on them is 310-479-2266 and they have a web site www.naturalhealthmc.com

Hope this of some help."
