Re: Re: My Results of using 2 percent Iodine - calluses

[Guest guest]

The reason the iodine might be working on the calluses is that thick calluses on the feet, and/or dry cracking heals (also palms of the hands) can be athlete’s foot. I actually learned that from a mainstream athlete’s foot cream ad. My husband had been struggling with that for years. When we treated it as athlete’s foot, it cleared up! Now, that also shows you probably have a Candida problem, which should be treated internally as well as externally, otherwise the external signs will just return. Just thought I would throw that into the pot as reason why the iodine is working! Donna in IL I hope it gets rid of them callouses. So iosol is better for topical use is that right? I was just amazed. Now since the horn is gone, I am still applying it to the bottom of it only once a day. It is shrinking up to nothing. Now will work on some moles.LOLBetty>> Thanks for posting this Betty. Two nights ago, I figured that I should rub iodine on the callous on the bottom of my feet. I will keep at it and see it I get results. I use Iosol for topical use and have had good results so far.> > Joan> >

That may be a factor, but my moles have been shrinking with iodine use. The

skin needs iodine and once it starts getting it the skin can function

better and be more healthy. Remember that the skin needs a substantial

does of iodine every day and when we don't have enough iodine the skin will

suffer mightily.

Someone talked about using iodine mixed with coconut oil on their body a few months back.   I used it on my face two days in a row, just as an experiment, and it made my skin softer and better looking.    I keep planning on doing it again and would like to do it a couple of times a week but it has to be on a day when I'm not planning on seeing anyone because my face was yellowish from the iodine.

Try it and let us know. And, it's not butting in.

Let me also add that vulnerability to things like athlete's foot is in part

because of iodine deficiency.

That was me. Right now I'm using castor oil instead of c.o. and

enough Lugols to create a ruby red solution which I then apply to my

face and neck and lower arms and backs of hand -- every night. (So

right now I'm taking 75 mg of Lugol's internally and another 50 or

more for the painting.) On Sundays, after I shower (so the pores are

open) I apply the castor oil/Lugols over most of my body. (maybe

100mg for painting alone on Sunday.)

Yes, it's quite miraculous on the skin. Besides providing a general

freshness and glow, and some smoothing out of wrinkles, it's all but

erased a small "botch" of broken blood vessels on my nose. I'm

hoping it will eventually take away the puffiness around my eyes (I

think from a very long-standing infection in my sinuses) and improve

the hearing in my right ear -- where I also drop a blob. Here's to

the new fountain of youth.

I am one of those brunettes (well, almost as much gray as brown

these days) that has a red-head's complexion -- very white skin --

and initially my face seemed redder. The other parts of me with the

oil did not get redder, but having rosacea, that was the reaction on

my face for a while. Then my face not only calmed down but began to

look completely normal and healthy -- that is, with no aspect of

rosacea. I put the oil on at 5-7 in the evening and in the morning

there is no trace of the color. I may have a slight bit of oil left

(not color) if I've forgotten to pat dry before going to bed ==

which I do so as not to mess up my pillow.

I know about the "paint testing" which indicates need for iodine on

how quickly the stain disappears -- but in my case, and perhaps

because of the combination with oil -- I find that the longer I'm on

this regimen, the more readily my skin seems to absorb the color.

It seems to me to be a little like what happens when it rains on a

parched earth: there is little or no absorption at first, and then,

as the ground finally begins to absorb it, it absorbs more and more.

But your mileage may vary.

That's very interesting, ...I would like to try,

but doesn't the Lugol's discolor the skin on your face? Or

if you apply it at night, is the discoloration gone by the

morning?

Baxrox,

Question: Earlier you said that you use the castor

oil/iodine mix on arms and whole body as well and I am

wondering - doesn't the castor oil soak in your clothing?

I have read that it doesn't wash out so well so am curious

about your experience.

Yes, castor oil is very difficult to work with from the standpoint

of getting on clothing and being hard to wash out. That's why I

started with coconut oil. But the castor oil seemed more effective

than the c.o., so I've gone to the trouble of working out a system

of night-only application, and wearing old, dark clothing for the 4

or so hours before bedtime. Most of the oil is absorbed by the time

I change into sleepwear -- in fact, the only oil I'm aware of

remaining as a slight film is on my face. I think my face absorbs

the least efficiently because I've had lifelong facial skin problems

and it is more "parched earth" than the rest of me. (Though now

that I write this, "parched" seems odd as applied to my face as the

problems -- esp. acne and rosacea -- have usually entailed too much

oil production!)

Thanks for info on painting as a test. I have seen this from

Abraham before and I wouldn't argue with it. But I do sort of

suspend judgment about it. There is also testing that "proves"

that painting "delivers" very little of the iodine used. Maybe.

And maybe painting delivers as much as is needed or can be used at

the time. The reason I paint my lower arms and the backs of my

hands is that of the last fifteen years I've had the progressive

skin disease from sun damage called actinic keratosis, which are

pre-cancerous lesions -- and this area too is beginning to look calm

and normal. I do think there's more to all of this than anyone has

yet figured out from current methods of "weighing and measuring."

Comment: regarding the paint test indicating the need for

iodine, this is from the Optimox website, Pub #22:

"From the published data, the skin iodine patch test is

not a reliable method to assess whole body sufficiency for

iodine. Many factors play a role in the disappearance of

the yellow color of iodine from the surface of the skin.

For example, if iodine is reduced to iodide by the skin,

the yellow color of iodine will disappear because iodide

is white. In order to regenerate iodine on the skin, one

needs to apply an oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide,

complicating the test further. The evaporation of iodine

from the skin increases with increased ambient

temperatures and decreased atmospheric pressure due to

weather conditions and altitude. For example, the yellow

color of iodine will disappear much faster in Denver,

Colorado at 5,000 feet above sea level then Los Angeles,

California at sea level, irrespective of the amount of

bioavailable iodine."

Sometimes it can cause an irritation after using it for a few days or weeks on the skin.LinnOn Nov 29, 2010, at 9:41 PM, lookonthebriteside wrote:

Sherry,

I use 5% Lugol's, so I'm not sure how much "straight" painting you

might be okay with if using 2%. Also, I use the castor oil mostly

because I know it to be a highly penetrating oil and, in itself,

healing.

It is not necessary to mix it with oil, only if you want to.

Jacqui-- Can you clarify for me here?

I haven't heard of 15% Lugol's. Are you sure that's what you've got? If

you do, it just means each drop has more iodine in it and you dose

accordingly. It's not a problem if that's what you do have. Why are you

thinking you made a mistake?

You mention iodine tincture. Iodine tincture has alcohol in it and should

NEVER be used internally. Are you using it internally?

I need more information from you to understand your question.

Hi Jacqui,

It's not just the NHS, most doctors the world over have been trained to

believe that iodine is toxic and scary and few know much about ME or

Lyme. Whatever the directions are on the Lugol's bottle you have, ignore

them. Follow the directions we give here on the list. This is where the

real information is. Those directions on that bottle are wrong. You need

long term treatment with iodine.

Just don't use the iodine tincture internally anymore. It's ok to use

externally, but Lugol's is really sufficient for external as well.
