Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 You don't say what country your in, but if Rx. required in the U.S., thats new.Order off e-bay, no Rx. required.Might also look at Nattokinase; an enzyme which reduces your fibrin levels.I put it right on my wifes scar, did reduce it, as i wasn't doing anything else concurrently.Can also take it as an oral supplement, which might be good as a preventative.Do have to be aware it reduces your clotting factors, so have to keep an eye on that, particularly if taking other 'blood thinners' like fish oil or meds.Your Dr. can test for that, to make sure your not reducing clotting factors too much.My Dr. did this for me.Fibrin is a main ingredient in clots, i.e. scabs.Also a main ingredient for scae tissue.It is the 'scaffold' for both.Healthy 20 y.o. with good diet, naturally has enzymes to keep fibrin levels in check, however with age or poor diet, we make less of these enzymes, while our ability to make Fibrin remains constant. Excess fibrin can cause all sorts of poroblems, in addition to heavy scarring;Macrodigeneration and cataracts, kidney problems, artheritis, and pulmonary fibrosis.Google 'Pulmonary Fibrosis Nattokinase " to learn more.Jim > > Hello, > I have recently met with my doctor and discussed gaining his support for supplementation with iodine to prevent and treat several concerns but primarily to preclude the development of keloid scarring after my recent surgery.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thanks for the info. I am in Canada. I currently take serrapeptase but find no significant discernible effects and am starting nattokinase this week. I am specifically interested in the iodine supplementation as my research indicates thatis the largest determining factor in hypertrophic and keloid scar formation. .. > > > > Hello, > > I have recently met with my doctor and discussed gaining his support for supplementation with iodine to prevent and treat several concerns but primarily to preclude the development of keloid scarring after my recent surgery.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi CurEus You do NOT need an Rx for Lugol's in Canada. In fact, we can get the 5% here in larger quantities, theoretically. It is not easy to find, but it is not prescription. You can order it off Ebay. I ordered it from Health In-sync (info@...) They have both prepared Lugol's or crystals to make it yourself, which is what I did. I do think that in future I'd order it from ebay or from Xenex (?)Labs (can't remember the name at the moment) in Burnaby BC.
