Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hi Sue..I have pale skin too..do you live you near sea level, or at a higher altitude? I think the lower oxygen pressure doesn't help. My skin has not really improved that much on iodine therapy, but my hair is growing again, and more pigmented hairs now than I've seen for a long time. Co workers have noticed that my hair is darker, and fuller. I would love to ditch the "frankenstein skin" though.AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Oh yea, I'm still here. I pop on and off quite a bit... Since starting Iodoral 50mg: Disappearance of most age spots. " Some " hair regrowth, including eyebrows and eyelashes. Hair re-pigmentation on hairline of upper part of forehead. Able to lower Armour thyroid from 12 grains to 11 grains. Able to lower some of my BHRT - halved estradiol and lowered progesterone by 100mg. Needed to raise testosterone from 1.5gm to 2gm. Needed to add DHEA. Able to discontinue prednisolone and later Cortef for adrenal support. Skin cleared totally and turned a normal human color of beige from a pale 'bride of frankenstein' beige. There's a lot of stuff that improved...basically my whole body seems to be happy with the addition of 50mg Iodoral daily. I did have some interesting detox reactions until I added 2000mg Vit C. One eyeball sized zit-like thing in each of my armpits...and 4 of the same along my spine. OK, maybe not as big as an eyeball, but sure seemed like it. Phew. Disappeared within days after adding the Vit C, tho.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 How long did it take for these changes to occur? I have age spots that my dermatologist has suggested he remove. I would so love for the iodine to take care of it. This gives me such hope. I am a pale Bride of enstein also. I have ordered the iodine, and I hope to have it this week. Thank you, Sue Since starting Iodoral 50mg: Disappearance of most age spots. Skin cleared totally and turned a normal human color of beige from a pale 'bride of frankenstein' beige.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I started to see good things happen in the first month. My age spots continue to disappear. 3 left to go, and I was a spotted appoloosa in October. Mine get a sort of fine film or sheen to them, then after a while they turn light pink, then just fade away to regular skin. They all used to be a dark liver color, but the 3 remaining ones I have are now a light brown. By the way, I got rid of 2 skin tags and a weird warty thing using Lugol's on them. Kewl, huh?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 lightening of hyperpigmentation on both forearms and neck to almost normal has been one of the blessings of iodoral for me. sandra Sue Mosier <mosierm@...> wrote: How long did it take for these changes to occur?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Sam, thank you so much for your reply. I am going to cancel my appointment with the dermatologists so I can see if the age spots will fade for me. I enjoy your writing style. Your humor comes through.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 How much Lugol's solution would equal 50mg of Iodoral?? Thanks, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 two drops is 12.5mg, the same as one low dose Iodoral. So eight drops is your 50mg Lugol's dosage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
