Re: EU ban will end walkers' use of iodine

Hi

Does anyone have any mail order sources of Iodoral in the UK? I bought some

recently but it was way overpriced: equivalent of $45 US for 90x12.5mg. I

emailed a couple of US stores but they never got back to me, i wonder if they

can't sell it to EU already?

about a month ago i tried to buy some tincture of iodine and got the 3rd degree

- i guess taht will not be sold in the UK after october, either?

thanks

Don't take any notice of the 3rd degree. There are so many rules and regulations in the EEC that no one is really sure about anything. Be very challenging. Make the person behind the counter justify their position. If there are lots of people in the pharmacy assure the person behind the counter that you are not a drug dealer in a very loud voice. They'll probably be so ashamed of their nasty thoughts that you'll get what you want so they can get you out of the shop.

You can get Lugol's iodine from www.healthleadsuk.com. The 30ml bottle is £9.69

and the 100ml bottle is £20.65. They also sell Dr. Brownstein's book on iodine

for £10.95. You can get Iodoral online from the USA but postage is usually steep

and if you are unlucky you get stung for VAT.

It's bad enough that a restriction for the sale of iodine already was put in effect two years ago, at that time I got a 16 oz. bottle and there were lots of other people getting a whole lot more than that because it can keep indefinitely under the right conditions. But I don't think one can purchase elemental iodine without a special permit, if it were so, then any drugmaker could order from the internet.It is totally ridiculous to keep banning things people normally use to try to stem off drug making, the illegals users will ALWAYS find a way to get what they need, it's us, the law-abiding citizens who get screwed up (and pardon my "French"...). Because of my chronic nasal congestion, from time to time, I used to buy at dollar stores a nasal decongestant that was taken off the shelves, when I tried the "new" one it did nothing for me. I couldn't even get it at the pharmacies of stores I go to regularly because I often shop late at night when that department is already closed, so it was a BIG inconvenience for me.Here's one other example of utter stupidity, a representative from St. Louis was proposing to take baking soda off the shelves because it's used to make crack cocaine, thank goodness that didn't go anywhere... yet! And not to change the subject, but to me the same goes with some of the restrictions for airplane travel. It's all fear-based, I heard Wayne Dyer talk about how if people continue with that mindset, eventually we would have to travel naked (because terrorists could come up with an explosive that could be put in clothing).Raquel> > > > > > From: > > Nonie nmsammymsn (DOT) com>> > Subject: RE: > > EU ban will end walkers' use of iodine> > iodinegroups (DOT) com> > Date: Thursday, > > August 13, 2009, 4:46 PM> > > > > > > > > > > > Well, there are too many people and they want us all > > sick, on drugs until we die.> > Simple in their > > mind.> > > > Nonie> > > > > > > > > > > > iodinegroups (DOT) com> > From: ladybugsandbees@ sbcglobal. > > net> > Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:03:07 -0400> > Subject: EU > > ban will end walkers' use of iodine> > > > > > > > > > Here > > is the EU country list http://www.eucountr > > ylist.com/> > > > > > Time > > to stock up on your iodine now.

if they are banning liquid lugols does that necessarily mean you wont be able to buy the pill form iodoral..if they are worried about illegal drug use i would think iodoral would not be a real concern then...From: MacGilchrist <s.macgilxrist@...>Subject: Re: Re: EU ban will end walkers' use of iodineiodine Date: Saturday, August 15, 2009, 4:16 AM

Try the Nettie pot rather than the nasal decongestants. Or, Musinex is helpful. There are some decent homeopathic remedies for nasal congestion.

Perhaps I should order the Lugols from the Austrian website. I would be afraid to order it from a non Western country like the U.S. EU or Japan. Who knows what standard the other countries my or may not have. Scary stuff. I guess stock up now while you can!

And the best bit - like chlorine is sooooooooooooooooo safe and healthy!!!

Yeah! In otherwords, don't be so naiive. The drug companies and insurance companies don't want the competition of a good public option. We need to focus on making sure that a public option includes alternative medicine, the right way.

Time to stock up on your iodine now. I wonder how this will affect those companies that are selling Iodoral from the US. What the heck are they thinking?

EU ban will end walkers' use of iodine

Industry insiders said the move could be followed by the United States and other countries.

Thanks, I've been doing nasal rinses since April and so far they haven't completely cleared my nose. I've also used several natural nasal sprays with limited results also and guaifenesin (name of ingredient in Mucinex) on/off for several years but had to ease up on that because it makes my uric acid problem worse. Also, the peculiar thing is that the tablets don't work as well for me (need to take more...) as the cough syrup but that has a lot of sugar in it and that became one more reason to avoid it. I've also taken homeopathic drops and pills for sinuses, stinging nettle, and, well, just about everthing I've heard of. What I believe is that I already have a fungal "ball" in there causing the obstruction; maybe over time it can be dissolved... This problem started quite a few years ago due to my exposure to mold and I noticed how it got progressively worse, apparently because of my continued exposure, and maybe it won't completely go away until my living conditions change.Raquel> > > > > > > > > From: > > > Nonie nmsammymsn (DOT) com>> > > Subject: RE: > > > EU ban will end walkers' use of iodine> > > iodinegroups (DOT) com> > > Date: Thursday, > > > August 13, 2009, 4:46 PM> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Well, there are too many people and they want us all > > > sick, on drugs until we die.> > > Simple in their > > > mind.> > > > > > Nonie> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > iodinegroups (DOT) com> > > From: ladybugsandbees@ sbcglobal. > > > net> > > Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:03:07 -0400> > > Subject: EU > > > ban will end walkers' use of iodine> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Here > > > is the EU country list http://www.eucountr > > > ylist.com/> > > > > > > > > Time > > > to stock up on your iodine now.
