Where does iodine uptake occur

[Guest guest]

This is a question that I have thought about but didn't really think about

asking on this list until now.

When one takes iodine orally, where is most of it absorbed? I am thinking about

ways to use iodine in treating ailments/disease/virus and was interested in what

things it could be used for. Many things (diseases) end up in the intestines

and maybe even the colon and I just wanted to know if oral iodine would make it

far enough to actually make first hand contact like an antibiotic would.

Any resource information would be appreciated.

Also, are there any viruses/bacteria/parasites that iodine can not take out if

direct contact is made?

It is absorbed initially in the small intestine and then travels to the blood stream where other organs pick it up. I know also that the stomach lining uses some of it as well. Dr. Brownstein's Iodine book describes a few of the organs and how much is stored in each. www.iodine4health.com has organs that utilize iodine and the research we found on it.

Think this would apply also from April 11th discussion... PamConsider these statements about iodine: 

Dr. Mark Sircus: " Though it kills 90 percent of bacteria on the skin within 90 seconds its use as an antibiotic has been ignored. Iodine exhibits activity against bacteria, molds, yeasts, protozoa, and many viruses; indeed, of all antiseptic preparations suitable for direct use on humans and animals and upon tissues, only iodine is capable of killing all classes of pathogens: gram-positive andgram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses and protozoa. Most bacteria are killed within 15 to 30 seconds of contact. "

Dr. Brownstein: " Iodine has many positive therapeutic actions. It is a potent anti-infective agent. No virus, bacteria or parasite has been shown to be resistant to iodine therapy. " Source; http://www.optimox.com/pics/Iodine/IOD-09/IOD_09.htm

One could theorize that when cellular saturation of iodine is achieved then the body as a whole would be an inhospitable environment to these pathogens on an ongoing basis.

Kiera,

I posted a few months back about why iodine is selective to only pathogenic

organism. Iodine has a negative or neutral charge, until combined with other

negative charged minerals, in which it then becomes negative. Pathogens have

positive charges. The opposite charges make them attract each other then the

iodine goes in for the kill.

Bentonite clay has this same negative charge. That is how I figured this out.

This is a bare bones explanation. Iodine only kills pathogens that are bad

basically.

This is well established. Plus, if iodine killed probiotics it wouldn't be

an essential mineral because it would interfere with health and that's not

how nature works (fear of iodine killed probiotics is buying into the

general fraud that iodine is scary and bad). And, if iodine killed

probiotics people who take iodine would be getting bad gut issues but

iodine helps gut issues not harms.

Interesting. MMS appears to be state opposite to this in that it attracts loose

bound electrons from pathogens due to it's strong positive charge. I wonder

what MMS and iodine would do together?
