Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Does anyone have any idea what taking iodine orally will kill in the oral cavity? Just wondering because there are a lot of things that help the body defenses that might be affected by the iodine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 iodine is needed in the gums, salivary glands. I took it solidly for a year and went to the dentist for a cleaning. keep in mind that prior to that, i had deep pockets in my gums. she said to me, " i don't know what you are doing, but keep it up. " pockets had shrunk. > From: GREENAMYER <greenamyer@...> > Subject: Iodine in the oral cavity > iodine > Date: Monday, March 1, 2010, 8:20 AM > Does anyone have any idea what taking > iodine orally will kill in the oral cavity?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 It's a misconception that iodine kills friendly bacteria. We evolved with the need for iodine and it does not kill our probiotic friendlies and does not disable immune function of any sort. Worrying about it hurting us is just buying into the iodine-phobes that got us this sick in the first place. It will help, not harm, anything that ails ye, including oral health. -- At 07:20 AM 3/1/2010, you wrote: >Does anyone have any idea what taking iodine orally will kill in the oral >cavity?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I don't know the source offhand and can't take the time to find it. In trying to find a source, I did find a number of sources on the net that still claim iodine does kill probiotics, which is false. I also found a source that also claims that iodine causes acne. People who get acne following iodine intake are having a bromide detox reaction. So anyone who claims iodine causes acne isn't a good source of information about iodine. Remember, the list of bromide poisoning symptoms is exactly the same as the list of " excessive iodine " symptoms. No one really is allergic to iodine-- there are no proteins in iodine for anyone to react to. And huge daily doses have been proved completely safe. The list of so-called iodine symptoms are actually the evidence of bromide detoxification. As far as probiotics are concerned, we can think about it logically. The body uses more than 12mg of iodine a day just for normal physiological processes: the thyroid; the breasts, ovaries, prostate (all reproductive organs); the skin; all the rest of the organs; and every single cell of the body. If iodine killed probiotics, how could humans exist? We can't exist without probiotics and we can't exist without iodine. If they were antagonistic, we couldn't exist. We have developed together. Moreover, practical experience shows that iodine does not kill probiotics. Many people NEED probiotic supplementation, but that is a separate issue. In fact, probiotics seem to thrive when the body has enough iodine. Many people have gut problems, even with probiotic supplementation, until they start on iodine (talking high doses here-- 50mg and up). And just to be clear, the reason we need to take much larger amounts than simply the minimum that the body uses each day is because of the toxic bath of halides that we all live in now. Those halides are constantly trying to displace iodine in the body, and the only way the body can stay sufficient in iodine under these conditions is to give it much more than it needs for the physiological processes so that it has enough to start kicking out the bromides and keep them kicked off. The bromide toxic bath of pollution is something none of our ancestors had to deal with. -- At 12:34 PM 1/31/2011, you wrote: >Can you tell me where you obtained the information about iodine not >killing freindly bacteria.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I put two and two together after learning about the negative charge of clay. The reason why clay pulls unwanted pathogens/toxins from the body is because of its negative charge. Anything foreign in the body has a positive charge. Good bacteria would have a negative charge while bad bacteria has a positive charge. " Bentonite clay molecules carry a negative electrical charge while toxins, bacteria, viruses, parasites and other impurities carry a positive charge. When the clay is taken into the human body, the positively charged toxins are attracted to the negatively charged surfaces of the clay molecule. The clay molecule acts like a magnet, attracting and holding the toxins and impurities to its surface, and removing them when the clay is removed or expelled. " http://www.aboutclay.com/info/how_clay_works.htm Then I looked up iodine's electrical charge, iodide has a negative charge and iodine has no charge until it hooks up with something else to make it negative. I'm not a trained scientist so I can only describe it in layman's terms, very simply. I couldn't find anything in writing that substantiates what I am writing, that is, no one has put this puzzle together. At least, I couldn't find it. So, iodine attracts positive charged bacteria and kills it with its anti bacterial qualities. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_iodine_charge " Elemental iodine has no charge. However, iodide anions have a negative charge. Thus, the charge of an iodine atom depends on what it is bonded to. " " Actually, the charge of Iodine would be negative one (represented as " 1- " in superscript). Explanation: Iodine is in the second to last column (vertically speaking) to the far right so it is right next to the " nobel gas " column, which is in the total far right column. So Iodine is going to want to be like Xenon (the element to the right of it) because Xenon is stable and Iodine wants to be stable as well. So Iodine will gain another election giving it a total of 54 elections just like Xenon. But, because the elections are negative particles, and Iodine just gained one, that means Iodine's charge is now negative one (1-). BUT! - an Iodine by itself, as represented by " I2 " , has a neutral charge, so the charge is 0. " Clay carries it out of the body while iodine kills it!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 This is one of the best explanations I've read as to why certain substances .. (clay, iodine) work to NOT kill the " friendlies " but get the " baddies " . I would also suggest adding diatomaceous earth to the clay and iodine category as I believe I've read it works also to pull the positive charge toxins .. and have used it for just about every use clay is used for internally and externally and maybe a few more uses besides. I have not reviewed my earlier facts, but that is how I remember it and that is the reason underlying our " internal " use of it here.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 , Root canal teeth have miles of tubular structures inside, that become filled with candida albicans and probably bacteria also. Patients who don't want to have their root canal teeth extracted can use a mouth rinse of oral iodine solution to help kill the candida. Not a good long-term solution, though. A root canal tooth is basically a dead organ that doesn't belong in the body. It should be removed or eventually it will cause serious problems. (Even heart health can be affected.)
