? re statement Lugols causes T3 to be converted back to T4!!!!

[Guest guest]

In perusing an autism website, I came across a statement that

raises a question for me. Hope there might be some clarification of this on the

list. This comes from Tamaro’s Vitamin K Protocol.

“Lugols causes T3 for be

converted back to T4!!!! Since it starts to scavenge for 2 electrons and takes

it from T3 (Iodoral is in the same category)…studies were done by NASA

in the 90’s and previously in the

late 70’s”

The entire section is on Potassium Iodide about 3/5ths of the

way down the page as follows:

• Potassium

Iodide

• Load

high at first and gradually reduce over several months to a maintenance level

• Dosing

based by Dr. Brownstein

• This

is antimicrobial and maybe anti-yeast and it is also very important in breast tissue

in women (getting enough intake can help normalize breast tissue and is also

important for reproductive health)

• Lots

of kids have hypothyroid symptoms and this helps

• Potassium

Iodide works (SSKI) (NOT Lugols)- available from Tahoma Clinic

• Very

detailed protocol online

• Lugols

causes T3 for be converted back to T4!!!! Since it starts to scavenge for 2

electrons and takes it from T3 (Iodoral is in the same category)…studies were done by NASA in the 90’s and previously in the late 70’s

• (Lugols

is very effective at killing bacteria on surfaces because it is an oxidative

scavenger)

• Brand

sugg: Tri-Quench by Scientific Botanicals

• You

make a dilution in a dropper bottle with water to take

• The

metallic taste will go away and a possible ill feeling response at first…metallic taste is thought to be a release of

metals at first because it goes away eventually

• You

start 1000mcg even in little kids (1/18 of a drop)…see her protocol

It’s not made clear to me whether this is just what occurs

in autistic children though it doesn’t seem to indicate this in the wording.

The relevant NASA studies have so far eluded me so maybe someone

here can shed some light on this. I’m hypo T with faulty conversion of T4

to T3 and take Lugol’s daily so this is of particular concern to me.

TIA,

P.S. I’ll just throw this in even though it’s OT - If

anyone is interested in the video presentation by , here’s a

link to that. Poor quality video.
