Lugols and wound healing

[Guest guest]

I have a few puncture wounds on my leg that are healing and scabbed over. I

was reading Dr. Derry comments on Iodine and wounds. I am contemplating

putting Lugols directly on the scabs since these are deep enough to scar.

Anyone know if pure lugols is too strong? Is Lugol's made to be diluted... I

know nothing about it. He seems to be indicating pure lugols directly on the

wounds.

" The iodine put onto the scab helps to organize total repair of the tissue. "

" From my own clinical experience, repeated application of iodine (Lugol’s) to

the skin appears to cause regeneration of the skin from the bottom up

(Quiescent, stable or stem cell) (3) eventually sloughing the old version of

the skin off like a snake molting. If there was a pre-cancerous lesion on the

old skin, it is replaced with new skin minus the lesion. There does not seem to

be any skin lesions which are not helped or cured by this procedure. In some

cases I found clinically obvious low thyroid conditions also needed to be

treated to be more effective. Minor lacerations and healing of surgical wounds

respond well. If skin regeneration is from the bottom, then there is little or

no scar formation. "
