Hey gal, I’m missing the point of your post (seriously missing it, really). I don’t understand what Ask Ana has to do with whether or not the Iodine Support forum should/not be split into an ”orthoiodine support forum” and a plain ole ”iodine support forum”. Somehow I missed your point (?) I’m thinking a ’split’ might be just the ticket. It seems to me like the majority of the major issues are about ”dangerous high dosages” vs. the truths of orthoiodine supplementation (Abraham, Flechas, et al). Couldn’t the ’orthoiodine’ forum keep all the information so far, and let there be ...

I just look to the performance of the forum up until recently. If one counts the web hits lost April 1, Iodine went from zero to like a million hits in about 2 & 1/2 months time, and it was for the most part, unmoderated, with little exception. Folks sometimes posted videos or made minor jokingly compliments to one another, but it was self-moderating, and I thought it was a nice feeling to have so much freedom. There were a lot of very happy people. Then came an increased level of moderation, and I started receiving emails from people asking me what the H was going on, because they ...

It seems to me that most of the posts on this Forum concentrate on the bad effects of excessive Fluor/Bromides intake and the generally accepted view is that this is the main cause of Iodine Deficiency.

Halogen Imbalance Syndrome (HIS) is a real phenomenon, which deals not only with whether we are short in iodine (which most are), but rather with a more holistic view that the body is more healthy when there is a proper balance of iodine, bromine, chlorine and fluoride in the body.

For ”me & mine” we have a farily logical way of determining ”excessive”...when it comes to the body, anyway. Simply, when the body starts ’throwing off’ something (or detoxing from it, however one wants to look at it), it generally means that the ’something’ is either a poison or one is ingesting too much of it/more than the body requires. In the case of the current wave of iodine studies, we have evidence that the ’average human body’ that starts taking 50mg of Lugol’s Solution or Iodoral daily, starts ’throwing off’ every milligram of what’s ingested in 1-3 months....but before that ...

http://pubs.acs.org/cen/80th/iodine.html Iodine, element 53 with a relative atomic mass of 126.90447, was first isolated by Bernard Courtois in 1811 from the ash of seaweed (by treating kelp with H2SO4). It was named by J. L. Gay Lussac in 1813, and its name derives from the Greek word iodes, meaning ”violet-colored,” reflecting the characteristic lustrous, deep purple color of resublimed crystalline iodine as well as the color of its vapor. Potassium iodide (KI) was used as a remedy for goiter (Derbyshire neck), an enlargement of the thyroid gland, as early as 1819. The thyroid is ...

What the extremes are, are undefined to me at this point. It wasn’t that long ago that the recommended RDA of iodine (set in 1980 by a vetrinarian) was stated as 150 mcg daily. Yet, PIMA syrup has been given over half a century as an expectorant, with a typical daily dose of potassium iodide on the order of 900 - 1200 milligrams. It could be that the RDA is extremely low and that iodine doses of 500 mg daily are middle of the road. The few studies that have been done, all seem to indicate that levels of iodine that are 60-6000 times the RDA are well-tolerated, as many MD’s have p ...

My experience from having been around labs is that chemically reagent pure is ultra pure. It has to be or it screws up the lab test/experiment.

That the past 45 days of posts were irrevocably lost has ONE good point: all of the personal rancor has been deleted and the ”debate” might start with a fresh direction!   [End]

When I said, ”in the beginning taking a day or so off once in a while is important”, I meant to say, taking a day off of iodine, NOT the water and salt! One day off a week, or cycling your intake like, 5 days on 5 days off, is what I meant. In the beginning, because our bodies are so toxic! Not everyone has done the liver cleanses, or are eating raw, and they need to start slow, increase with every day or week yes, but do it slowly. Your body will adjust.... The water and salt are especially necessary to ”keep up with” DAILY for flushing the kidneys. IODINE is what releases the t ...

I’m sitting here watching ..and in its profundity, I can ’see’ that the Iodine Therapy information is most assiduously a profound level of Truth...as we collectively climb the ladder toward greater understanding of the seeming ’mechanism’ of this world, different Truths are applicable on each rung of the ladder of understanding. When I read the torpor in the various posts (on other forums) by individuals who think their way is the ’only’ way of health/Truth, I ”real-eyes” that they refuse to acknowledge that others may experience a different level of Truth.

I don’t know if this article has already been posted...? I’m treading water in a sea of information.. Source: http://www.accessmylibrary.com ”The History of Iodine Part 3 - Thyroid Fixation and Medical Iodophobia” by Guy Abraham... The thyroid gland-iodine connection was known just a few years following the discovery of iodine in seaweed in 1811. Only eight years after this discovery, iodine was used effectively in the treatment of simple goiter. However, the medical uses of iodine during the first century since the discovery of iodine were not restricted to diseases of the th ...

do you have any research to back up the claim that arsenic levels in kelp is rising? do you have any research to show that pepole are being harmed by arsenic in kelp? any at all? here is a scientific study showing that the organic form of arsenic in cod liver oil is rapidly excreted in the urine. its broken down into harmless form and pissed out almost immediately. its not stored in the tissues, and wouldn’t be harmful even if it was. you are allowing your moreless hatred to incite you to post unfounded untruths. http://www.springerlink.com/content/m6785348jk260212/ Abstrac ...

arsenic is a naturally occuring substance in sea water and thus will appear in all sea products, including sea vegetables and fish. arsenic will naturally appear in trace amounts in much spring water. in fact, there are acceptable levels of arsenic in drinking water across the US. most soil has some arsenic in it. this is fear tactics and much ado about nothing. the japanese eat kelp and seaweed for breakfast lunch and dinner. are they all keeling over from arsenic poisoning? no, in fact they are the longest living people on earth. dont believe the hype.   [End]

I don’t need to google. My daughter and I both (she’s 10, I’m 50) have facial blemishes. We can reduce them by constantly applying a thin layer of Desitin (not the creamy stuff) on them when we go to bed. BUT, this gets tiresome. And, we’re not consistent. Daughter has had two big zits that just didn’t want to clear up. After about ten days of dealing with them, we started the iodine. After three days, JUST THREE DAYS, her two zits are practically gone. NO - she does NOT apply the iodine directly on her face. This is daily applying the patch to the belly, and we’re presently ...

the organic forms of Arsenic are actually needed by the body in small doses... Even Iodine one day will probably reveal differences between organic and inorganic forms and how it interacts with the body...   [End]

S. writes on the yahoo iodine board (november 6th 06) I started Iodoral 3 months ago. In the last 5 years, my ovaries have been closely followed by ultrasound since my mother died from ovarian cancer at age 62. She was diagnosed at 55. I am 47. All of my ultrasounds in the last 5 years showed mutiple ovarian cysts. Last week I had another ultrasound (the first since starting Iodoral) The ovarian cysts are insignificant enough that the radiologist didn’t even mention them in the ”impression”. I checked with the doctor to be sure. She said it’s as if you have no cysts on your ovaries no ...

After a cure with iodine in Bad Hall (Upper Austria), patients with age-related maculopathy repeatedly reported improvement in visual power: the picture seen seems to be clearer on the whole or more distinct. These statements were checked in 50 patients with beginning age-related macula degeneration (’dry form’) using the ’Vision Contrast test system (VCTS 6500)’. The analysis of the results showed that there is indeed a statistically highly significant improvement in contrast sensitivity after the cure (p http://www.ithyroid.com/iodine.htm   [End]

I have taken 100 mg of Lugol’s for each of the last 2 days... this in addition to 2 tablespoonful of kelp and painting some on three moles. Before that, I did 2 days at 75 mg, before that, 3 or 4 days at 50 mg, and before that several days at 25 mg. A week of about 12.5 mg a day with Atomidine, and kelp was done. I suspect I was doing somewhere between 5 and 9.5 mg a day with kelp and dulse for several months before that. NOTE: I DO NOT recommend this for everyone, especially individuals who may be very low on iodine, just starting out with this supplementation, and\or people of s ...

When this state is reached, the following results (gathered using sophisticated lab testing, fluorescence screening, clinical measurements, and a host of other high-tech medical testing procedures) have been observed: Goiter is reduced or eliminated ...

Kelp is a generic term, like the word ”meat”. The word ”kelp” can refer to many different sea weeds such as the brown type, green type, carrageenan, or even red ”irish moss” type, in addition to others ! Additionally, this article shows a dictionary definition that also shows that ashes of (burned) aquatic plants can sometimes be called kelp: http://www.answers.com/topic/kelp So, one could obtain and dry any one of various aquatic plants, put it in a bottle, and legally call it Kelp. This in fact occurs, and undoubtedly explains why people report different results when dis ...

Based upon my experience and While there are most likely many other factors, I believe that HIS is responsible in part (maybe a big part) for the ubiquitousness of obesity in this country. Much obesity is thought to be caused by inflammation and edema. I have not changed my diet much at all (it is always in flux with the seasons) and my belly seems to be flattening out... many know I have been exercising and detoxing for about two years reaching a plateau after about a year that would not budge. I think it may just be too coincidental that I started adding extra iodine in the form of ...

This is my personal regimen I tried. Two drops of Lugol’s into twelve ouces of clean water taken at the top of each hour. At the bottom of each hour, a twelve ounce glass of water, with no iodine. Repeated for four hours. I don’t recommend anyone else try this. Seek a doctor if you are ill !   [End]
