Re: How to Take Lugol's Iodine
18 days agoRe: How to Take Lugol's Iodine
18 days agoHi!
I learned to not mix iodine with antioxidants, coffee, milk or acidic stuff like vinegar.
I take it with plenty of warm water and methylselenocystein and 1 hours later or so, I take a few tsp of ascorbic acid, a tsp of magnesium glycinate (it's 86% glycine and 14% magnesium), borax, MSM, silicon/"silica" etc in a big water bottle and the B complex later with food.
Do what suits you best but don't deactivate your iodine with vinegar.
Re: Capsular Contractures from Breat Implants
18 days agoHi Marion (and fellow BII girl)
Would you expand on your overall BII experience? Specifically how you identified it was BII, the nature and duration of eye symptoms, (if any) and whether you experienced systemic inflammation and how long resolution took. I've searched extensively across sites and groups and found very little substantive detail. It would be incredibly valuable to hear a candid, thorough account on a more health-focused platform.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Magnesium for Fibromyalgia
18 days agoHi All
I see many people asking for updates on how the ACV is helping. Well, I've suffered fibromyalgia for 4 years now and I've had it quite bad and been seriously debilitated by it. I would only get relief if I swallowed dangerous amounts of codeine (i know, bad idea, but those of us who suffer chronic pain will understand that sometimes you get to a point where you just need a few hours without pain). After reading about the ACV here I decided I had nothing to lose and might as well try it. It's cheap and easily obtainable. I'm not sure who, but someone here suggested the ACV with baking soda (or bicarbonate of soda for us Brits, lol), as well as magnesium tablets, which are also really cheap and can be bought in any supermarket's medicines isle with the supplements and vitamins. I tried it and, crazy as it seems, it actually works! It's incredible! After using it for a month my pain level is down by at least 70%! I've still got all the other annoying symptoms of fibromyalgia (fatigue being the main one), but I feel that with less pain I can cope with those as minor annoyances. I have also been taking aloe vera juice so I decided to take it at the same time as my ACV mixture, all in one cup with a bit of water. I don't know if the aloe vera juice has played any part in this "miracle" (that's what it feels like, lol), but it's doing no harm so I intend to continue taking them together. I've also been reading up on cayenne pepper and I'm considering adding it to my regime too. I don't know how it works, but my opinion is that it has something to do with clearing toxins from the body.
So, for anyone interested, here is how I take the concoction:
- 2 magnesium tablets once a day
- 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with 1 teaspoon of baking soda (be careful and add this slowly as it fizzes A LOT! ). Add 30ml aloe vera juice and about 30ml water. This I take 3 times a day.
It isn't pleasant tasting but I just block my nose and swig it down and have a drink ready to wash away the taste afterwards. It does have an after taste which reminds me of the hops flavour in beer.
I'd love to know if this mixture works for other types of pain. I know it definitely made a difference to my period pains so who knows. I've got one friend trying it for colon pain similar to really bad IBS and another trying it for arthritis. I'll give updates to let you know if they have any good results.
Sounds too good to be true, but you'll be glad you tried it.
So, good luck to anyone who tries it. I really hope you have results like mine.
Re: Ticks Carrying Malaria
19 days agoHi again, Stephanie.
Methylene blue should not be a problem with fillings and you should be able to almost completely avoid contact between the two by having a local compounding pharmacy make up methylene blue capsules for you. They can advise you on the milligrams to take for your specific purpose.
As far as colloidal silver nanoparticles, the only true yellow AgNPs (20 ppm) that I am aware of were sold by Earth Clinic up until about a year ago. Perhaps you can contact EC and see if they can make a special batch for you?

Re: Nebulizing Borax for Fungal Infection in Lungs
19 days agoHi Tamara,
I would say there is significant risk involved with nebulizing borax water because it has a pH level around 9.2 to 9.5 compared to the interior of the lung surface which has a pH in the 6.9 to 7.1 in the lower airways and 5.6 to 6.7 in the upper airways and nasal passages. This more acidic pH is needed to effectively kill bacteria that is breathed in.
The nebulizing of borax water can potentially raise this pH level to a point where it is not able to effectively kill inhaled bacteria.

Re: Cayenne and Garlic for ED Didn't Work
20 days agoHi..for those saying It didnt work..most people in the reviews had awesome results taking powder form or natural garlic. You cant say It doesnt work by using suplementos cause there are so Many garlic suplement brands in the market with diferent extracting methods...the age of the garlic matters, the Alicin content too, the time the supplement has been stored Also affects the result. The cayenne in powder form in tea goes to work right away while the capsule takes more time to digest....the highest content of Garlic Alicin happens 10 minutes after cutitng garlic and it requieres oxygen to form.Allicin IS what gives garlic the cardiovascular benefits. Most times ED can be improved by circulation improvement, nitric oxide or mineral suplementación specially zinc.this last if you are depleted because of too much hand activity....So if the cayenne garlic IS not working try add a nitric oxide booster ike beets or beet suplement or gingseng.and a zinc suplement.and like I said drink the warm cayenne garlic tea..either powder or chopped cloves. Theres no way the combo of cayenne tea and garlic with gingseng and zinc vit c suplementation doesnt at least improve your E.D. its phisical imposible.weve tested this formula here at Earthclinic for more than a decade now. Take zinc at night that Will help your testosterona recover while you sleep.add lemon for vit c or a vit c capsule.add gingseng or beet extract for nitric oxide boosting.All the best

Thank you.
I have mercury tooth fillings which I cant remove.
Can I still try methylene blue?
And is there a product/company for colloidal silver nanoparticles that you have heard good results? and what ppm?
Is there a way to find out(at home) if I can take lugols iodine? I have mercury, goiters, graves, etc...
Also, do you know of a natural quinine?
Do you know if garlic powder would work the same in the body? We wont have real garlic in nj until july 1.

PREVENTION:
Eating garlic daily is a popular folk remedy for insect (tick) bite prevention. The garlic sowers the blood so that ticks, fleas and mosquito's don't want t feed on you. A double blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial followed 80 Swedish soldiers and measured the number of tick bites received over each phase of the trial. The results show a modest but statistically significant reduction in tick bites attributable to daily consumption of 1200 mg. of garlic daily.
MALARIA TREATMENT:
John Brookshire, an aerospace engineer with an passionate interest holistic healing, met a missionary struggling with the devastating effects of malaria and the inability of current treatments to combat malaria. A search of holistic treatments from the 1930's Iodine used to treat various illnesses, including malaria. The exact formulation of this medicine from the 1930's appears to have been lost as the parent manufacturing company was bought and sold many times within a few years.
An Indian (from India) who is credited with ushering Iodine into the Medical Hall of Fame. His name is Sunker Bisey. He won a contest run by an English Manufacturing firm in which the winner would get a full scholarship at a major British university. Bisey boarded a ship to jolly old England, waved goodbye to his family, but never made it to the university. Arriving in England dying of Malaria, he was treated to the best physicians the British Isles had to offer, but to no avail, and he soon opted to die in his homeland, and set sail. At a stopover in France where firing up kilns of seaweed was now the latest craze, someone suggested treating the dying lad with Iodine. Long story short: Bisey finished his education in England and set sail for New York where he intended on bringing this magnificent new treatment for disease to the world.
Treatment method: Malaria was treated with 20 drops of lugol's iodine in a half glass of water given 4 or 5 times during the first day and then going to 10 drops of iodine 4 times a day for 3 more days. A slide study of the blood shows that the malaria is gone from the body.
Iodine in Malaria.
The Quinologist Volume 5, page 752,1882
Baboo Brojendra Nath Banerjee used tincture of iodine, in 1879, in more than 500 cases, and thought that many of them were cured as if by magic. In 1880 he again tried it, but with less success . The cause of this discrepancy was that he had at first overlooked the fact that in every malarial epidemic there are many cases of ephemeral or one-day fever, with a temperature of 105 or 106 degs., a pulse of 120 or 130, quick and labored respiration, intense headache, and even delirium. In these cases there is only one febrile attack, which does not recur. When medicine is given in such cases, the non-recurrence of the attack is ascribed to the medicine and whatever happens to be given appears to cure the fever. Intermittent fever also tends to spontaneous cure on the third, fourth, fifth, and even seventh or eighth day. Old women in the country villages of India are acquainted with this fact, and wait until the third day before they give medicine. His experience since he became acquainted with ephemeral fever and the spontaneous cure of intermittent fever has shown him that while iodine may cure about 55 per cent. of malarial cases, it cannot rival quinine. In many respects it is much inferior to it. There are very few persons who cannot tolerate quinine, whereas iodine disagrees with many. It cannot and never should be given when there is nausea or vomiting and burning of the skin. It is certain to aggravate these symptoms fourfold and make the patient nearly mad. Distressing symptoms are sometimes produced by iodine. It produces flushing of the face, severe vomiting and retching, intense burning of the skin, formication, injection of the conjunctivæ, and coryza. — Indian Med. Gazette. ~ 1882

Re: Taking Clove, Oregano, Black Seed and CBD Oils Together
21 days agoIf you have reactions, then you should be ok.
But, we take black cumin seed oil daily before bed, oil of oregano daily mid afternoon. We also have since stopped clove oil, as we feel the black cumin and oregano work just fine on their own. We havent had a cold/flu/sore throat in years. Anytime we are around people who are sick or what have you, we up our dosing of the two and never have been ill.
I believe the black cumin and oregano are one of the best things one could ever take. After all, the famous saying... "the only thing black cumin seed oil cant cure is death".
Re: SSKI (Potassium Iodide) for Bladder Infections
21 days agoHello Vindy,
An article from Dr Jonathan's Wright's website lists a few treatments for bladder infections including the use of SSKI.
Attached is the section addressing UTIs (Holly is Dr Wright's wife):
" .... Although Holly has never had the experience, occasionally another woman at one of the conferences we attended developed a bladder infection when far away from home and her physician. Holly gives her our “back-up” small bottle of SSKI with instructions to take 10 to 15 drops in water or juice every 3 to 4 hours (while awake) until the infection is gone.
Although SSKI is close to 100% effective in the elimination of bladder infections, this is a “high dose”; make sure to read the section “Keeping SSKI Use Safe”.
If possible, it's best to use the simple sugar D-mannose to eliminate bladder infections. D-mannose is effective over 90% of the time, and is very, very safe. For details, see "D-mannose and Bladder Infection, " by Lane Lenard Ph.D. and me, available through the Tahoma Clinic Dispensary.
When our children were teenagers, they always knew where to find the SSKI bottle. Whenever one of them “popped a zit”, she or he would rub SSKI into it every hour or two. The offending “zit” would be gone in 24-48 hours or less; an innumerable number of social events were rendered “zit-free” by this approach.... "

by Tahoma Clinic | Jan 8,2011 | Articles
SSKI USE SAFETY
As to keeping the use of SSKI safe, I think this refers to two key issues.
1. IODINE SENSITIVITY
Do the iodine Spot Test/Iodine Skin Patch Test - place a few drops on an area of thin clean skin and watch for adverse reactions during the day. If OK, then take 1 drop and watch for reactions. If OK, then slowly titrate up to therapeutic amounts. If too many detox/sensitivity symptoms occur drop back to a lower amount and slowly titrate up.
Some people develop rare symptoms when taking iodine, see a holistic practitioner versed in using iodine for guidance.
2. REQUIRED IODINE CO-NUTRIENTS/SUPPLEMENTS
For a majority of people there are required iodine-companion nutrients one must take at least 2 weeks before (ideally) and during initial iodine intake. It is important to correct these deficiencies before and during thyroid hormone and iodine use.
Generally, this is because Americans, and people in other industrial nations, often develop herxheimer/detox symptoms in response to first taking iodine because they are deficient in iodine and in many of the required iodine-companion nutrients; and/or, have high toxin levels such as toxic halides (Fl, Cl, Br); and/or, have chronic candida (often develops in response to chronic iodine deficiency.)
The essential iodine co-supplements are specific nutrients, vitamins and minerals required for your brain, thyroid, liver and tissues to properly produce and use iodine and thyroid hormone. If you are deficient in these key nutrients, toxic by-products are not cleared from the body quickly enough and critical iodine pathways in the body are blocked causing symptoms.
* KEY MINERALS: zinc, selenium, magnesium, iron. And, calcium, manganese, copper and boron are needed in the thyroid/iodine pathways. Caution: need to know how to take non-toxic forms of minerals. Remember, anemias can be deficiencies in iron, B12 and Folate.
* KEY VITAMINS: B2 Riboflavin, B3 Niacin, B12 Methylcobalamin, B8 Myo-Inositol, Vitamin C (take away from Iodine), Vitamin D3, Vitamin A. Can also include: folate, Vitamin E
* KEY FATS: Omega-3, Essential Fatty Acids. Omit bad fats, high omega 6 oil diets.
* KEY AMINO ACIDS: L Tyrosine & quality Protein. Ensure you are absorbing/eating enough protein, every meal - this entails having enough stomach HCL and digestive enzymes to digest the protein, supplementation is often needed.
* OTHER KEY COMPOUNDS:
SEA SALT - 1/2 - 1 tsp sea salt, daily in glass water
BODY pH - should be in a healthy range to best absorb iodine & other minerals. Can simply adjust diet until the urine pH reads between 6.5 to 7.2
AVOID: gluten, dairy, soy, high omega 7 intake and processed sugars; especially if have autoimmune thyroid condition.
AVOID: toxic halogens, always: fluoride in water and toothpaste, chlorine in water, bromide in flour and flame retardants. Many medications contain toxic halogens. Toxic halogens displace iodine and when taking iodine you will detox the toxic halogens out of your body = symptoms.
NOTE: thyroid hormone production and proper iodine utilization is dependent on key nutrients, a healthy liver and adrenals and omitting food allergens especially gluten which is the number one food to contribute to thyroid dysfunction.
NOTE: see all the great info regarding Iodine use on EarthClinic.
