Mountain Rose Herbs has a fantastic product (see below).  I live in the high desert and my skins dries out a lot.  I really love this product.  http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/ Restorative Skin Oil From: Mountain Rose Previously known as "Secret Skin Oil" this is currently the much revered formula for those dry-spell moments that our skin periodically endures. It is what the 40+ age group here have been using when we run into problems with dry and other "lizardy" or "leathery" skin. As Oregon gardeners, herbalists and hikers ... [Image Embedded Here]

Would you give me a breakdown of what you take, how much you take and when you take it?  How long have you been using Trapper’s SSKI? Also, did you gaining weight when you first started taking iodine?  I gained weight with Lugols and hope that SSKI will be different for me. Thanks!   [End]

Hi, Trapper. I received my SSKI yesterday and immediately starting using it.  I don’t know if it is overwhelming confidence in your product or if it is just damn good, but I am breathing so much better!  I’ve had sinus issues for a while and I also live at a high altitude. Also, I told you that I was having trouble recently with breakouts.  I put a drop on a pimple and a white "crust" surrounded it.  Is this normal?  The pimple does look much better today.  How would it react to mixing it with coconut oil? Thanks bunches   [End]

Hi, Trapper. A few friends are interested in oil pulling.  When I referred them to curezone and oilpulling.com, they were confused about the category of oil to use - as in cold pressed, refined, etc.  I went to the forum and to oilpulling.com and it is not clear, even confusing.  Would you kindly clarify? Thanks   [End]

Hi, Trapper. Any luck finding a good source of Potassium Iodide?  I found a few bottles (capsules) on iherb.  I noticed that the instructions on one said not to take longer than 10 days.   Why and is this true? Is KI a substitute for Lugols?  Should you take it on an empty stomach? Happy 4th of July!   [End]

Thanks Trapper. So you take your iodine straight?  No ACV or honey or cornstarch?  What about Vitamin C?  I thought it was necessary to assist the iodine? Please let me know about KI, when you have more info. Hugs.     [End]

Hi, Trapper. I would like to thank you for educating me on multiple subjects.  I am really curious as to your daily regime - in terms of diet, exercise and supplements.  I am interested in what supplements you take, when you take it and what you mix together.  Would it be possible for you to provide a synopsis of your day regarding these areas? Example:  Upon waking, I take # drops of Iodine with 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon ACV.  Also, what is KI, where do you get it and is it really good for the lungs? Thanks.   [End]

I’ve been away for approximately 6 months and wanted to know if any changes have been made regarding the protocol.  There have been so many post that I don’t even know where to start! I was one of the unfortunate few, who actually gained weight on iodine.  Now that my hiatus is over, I am ready to get back on track - hopefully with no weight gain this time. I was taking 8 drops a day (4 in the morning, 4 at before lunch) with baking soda, honey and ACV.  I took Vitamin C, Selenium, Magnesium, and Calcium, plus a multi-vitamin. From what I have read, I ...

My dog, Miss Memphis, loves raw bones, but refuses to eat raw meat and veggies.   Right now, I cook her meat/organ meat and mix it with organic brown rice.  I add a little butter, ghee or coconut oil to it.  I also add probiotics, Vit. E and C and seaweed.   She is very healthy and full of energy. I have tried several times to feed her raw meat.  I also have tried raw meat mixes like The Honest Kitchen, but she will not eat it.  I really need some advice and/tips. Thanks   [End]

Hi, Trapper. I thought of you last night as I was reading The Raw Food Detox Diet, by Natalia Rose: "Throughout time humans have moved their bowels in a squatting position.  With the advent of the modern-day toilet, we started sitting -  and therefore shifting the position of our rectum during this key natural process.  The sitting posture takes our rectum out of alignment, which results in less effective bowel movements.  This in turn creates more waste matter build-up, impaction, constipation, and putrefaction in the intestines.  All of this could be ...

I just got back from the beach and I have a tan! I have red hair and freckles, so normally I burn. I take 8 drops of Lugols per day and while at the beach, I added a few drops to VCO instead of sunscreen. It worked! I am not crazy - I know that I will probably never be able to stay in the sun all day, especially during peak hours, but I have a nice base tan now and I feel great!   [End]

I am interested in learning about painting with Lugols. Is there a Painting 101 post anywhere? Do I paint with straight Lugols or Wombat’s Cream? How much is too much (paint feet, drop in day/night moisturizer, paint moles), along with 8 drops per day in water? Is it safe to use around the eyes? Should I actually use a paint brush (Q-tip absorbs too much)? Thanks in advance!   [End]

I live in Switzerland and it is required by law that all dogs and cats have microchips. For some reason, it makes me feel really secure. I travel a lot with Memphis in Europe and in America. When we enter Switzerland, immigration scans the microchips and checks the numbers with her pet passport, which includes her photo. There is many locations where you can take lost pets and they will scan the microchip and call the owners. I think it is a great idea.   [End]

My dog also has allergies. We have had 2 incidences of hot spots. What works best for us is to cut the hair around the sores, so it can breathe and apply a mixture of herbs and tea to the sores. It cleared up much faster than with the topical antibiotic. Boil water and add pau d’arco, olive leaf and chamomile tea. Let steep until water cools and keep in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Apply when needed.   [End]

I use coconut oil. The reasons I can’t keep it in my mouth for 20 minutes are numerous: want to swallow, my mouth get tired, phone rings, etc. I usually wait a few minutes and start again. If the oil becomes toxic during pulling, wouldn’t it be better to get the ”used” oil out and start fresh after a few minutes anyway?   [End]
