Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Why take it? It's a proprietary formulation that is a lot more expensive to take. The name seems to be playing off the lie that iodine is " like gasoline " to the thyroid, the lie that is based on the scientific fraud called the Wolff-Chaikoff effect, implying that unlike other iodines, Tri-Quench will quench the fire. Well there is no fire, and iodine is not like gasoline to the thyroid. So the name itself tells me that it's likely to be more of a marketing scheme than something necessary. And in fact it's not necessary. -- At 12:59 PM 6/28/2011, you wrote: >Is anyone out there taking Tri-Quench????? > > > > >------------------------------------ > >All off topic posts should go to the IodineOT >group IodineOT/ > > >The NEW MEMBER DOCUMENT (#1 on the list) >iodine/files/01%20NEW%20MEMBERS%20-%20READ\ %20FIRST/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 How is Tri-Quench more expensive? The one ounce bottle price is $40 for 1250 drops, while a bottle of 50 mg Iodoral, 90 tabs, is $68.I may not be comparing them properly so please correct me if I’m wrong.I’m not promoting Tri-Quench; I’m just researching it because my doc says it does the same and is less expensive than Iodoral. And with all the supplements I take, I’m always looking to economize.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi , Has the W-C effect been proven to be scientific fraud? I mean has there been a study or some such? I'm highly curious because I had a terrible experience with Iodoral, 25mg/day last December. I was not part of the STTM community - my doc finally convinced me to try it. He is still scratching his head over why it went so wrong. I'm still digging out of the hole. I'm hanging around here to see if there is something I could have done differently.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi , Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. Were you taking the companion nutrients that are so important to take while taking iodine? If not, your body could have been having trouble detoxing the toxic halides iodine displaces in the body. I hope you have read the new member doc. you were sent when you joined. If you didn’t save it, you can go to FILES, then new member doc., then Commonly asked Questions, and you will learn much.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 You have to compare them by looking at how many drops makes up the same dose of Iodoral-- a single drop of the liquid is not equal to a single tablet. But actually, I was referring to Lugol's being less expensive and not proprietary compared to Tri-Quench. Iodoral is more expensive than Lugol's, and may be more expensive than Tri-Quench if I did the math to find out. -- >How is Tri-Quench more expensive?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I didn't know about the protocol, Kathleen. My doc had been trying to get me to take it for years and I resisted. Then after a bout of breast cancer I figured I'd give it a try. He's a good doc, but he didn't caution me about supplements, detoxing, etc. I did well at first then got clobbered with hypo symptoms about 4-6 weeks into it. Like a truck hit me. I did read the new member doc. Once I get past this episode--and grow back some hair, lol--maybe I'll consider giving it another go. Probably at a much smaller dose, though. I was really checked out of life for a couple of months. It's great that so many Hashi's people are tolerating it.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Actually, if the Tahoma Clinic website is correct, Tri-quench looks like a reasonable option for iodine/iodide. It's quite strong Not sure why it contains saffron though.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Ohnoes - another dosing issue! , I'm not at all familiar with Tri-Quench, but based on standard measurements I'm not sure something's not confused somewhere -- let me explain. Assume you have a reasonably standard dropper in your bottle, it will take from 60 to 90 drops to fill a measuring teaspoon. (60 is closer to the norm.) 3 teaspoons make a tablespoon (so 180 t0 270 drops so far) and there are 2 tablespoons in an American fluid ounce. So the max number of drops you're likely to eke out of a one ounce bottle ranges from 360 to 540. I don't know where the 1250 drop/bottle figure came from, but even if the dropper was as efficient as an IV minidrip (which is highly unlikely) you'd still get only 1080 drops per ounce. The two compounds differ slightly in iodine to KI ratios, but how or why this might matter therapeutically I can't say -- you'd have to ask your doctor. As to price, compare the cost based on your own actual dosing, Iodoral vs Tri-Quench, and a realistic assessment of available drops per ounce.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi , Iodine is important for every part of the body, especially breast health too, I hope you can give it a try soon. It's also very important to include iodine when one is taking NTH, don’t know if you are or not. Hope you are supporting your adrenals as well. That is a very important element in tolerating bromide and other toxic halides detoxing from the body. I wish you the best.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I realize that and it was my mistake. Nevertheless, if you are looking for the best value, Lugol's is the least expensive way to go. Tri-Quench is just a proprietary version of Lugol's that is more expensive than need be. That's all I was saying. We recommend either Lugol's (nonproprietary) or Iodoral. If you want to compare dosage costs, you have to figure out how many drops equals a tablet dose, and figure out how many doses per bottle, then divide the dose into the cost and get cost per dose. Divide the number of tablets of Iodoral into the cost of it and get the cost per dose. But if you want the best value, there is no reason to pay for a proprietary liquid formulation, go with Lugol's. Iodoral was formulated because some people have stomach pain when they take Lugol's. Fortunately that's not the case for me. Iodoral dissolves deep in the gut. It's also a lot more convenient to carry tablets around than liquid. -- At 02:42 PM 6/28/2011, you wrote: >My original email contained the comparison of drop vs tablet. > >From: iodine [mailto:iodine ] On Behalf Of > B >Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 1:11 PM >iodine >Subject: RE: Re: Iodoral vs Tri-Quench > > > >You have to compare them by looking at how many drops makes up the same >dose of Iodoral-- a single drop of the liquid is not equal to a single >tablet.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 From the website of Scientific Botanicals - who makes it ... tri-quench is comparable to SSKI ... NOT Iodoral or Lugol's ... unless I am reading it wrong Saturated Solution of Potassium Iodide Tri-Quench solution of potassium iodide contains approximately 100 gm. of KI in every 100 ml. Each 30 ml. dropper bottle of Tri-Quench supplies approx.1200 drops of SSKI, with each drop providing 25 mg. of KI (19 mg. iodine and 6 mg. potassium). Tri-Quench should be taken with meals.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Well there you have it. And, we take Lugol's (and Iodoral which has the same ratio), because the body NEEDS both types (potassium iodide and elemental iodine) in roughly that ratio. I apologize that I initially misremembered the nature of the Tri-Quench product (thought it was a weak solution). So in answer to the question, Tri-quench does not have elemental iodine, and therefore is not adequate for the iodine protocol. It is adequate to dose to prevent radioactive iodine from being taking up by the thyroid (it is an SSKI product), but it is not appropriate for those who wish to give their body the full benefit of iodine. -- At 07:20 PM 6/28/2011, you wrote: > From the website of Scientific Botanicals - who makes it ... tri-quench > is comparable to SSKI ...

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 May be helpful to know that Tri-Quench does not dispense with a dropper, it has a plastic " nose " (?) on it with a very small opening and the drops are considerably smaller than those that come from droppers, even the smallest droppers that I have seen. Other products from Scientific Botanicals, like their liquid selenium, come in similar containers as Tri-Quench. > > Ohnoes - another dosing issue! , I'm not at all familiar with Tri-Quench, but based on standard measurements I'm not sure something's not confused somewhere -- let me explain. Assume you have a reasonably standard dropper in your bottle, it will take from 60 to 90 drops to fill a measuring teaspoon. (60 is closer to the norm.) 3 teaspoons make a tablespoon (so 180 t0 270 drops so far) and there are 2 tablespoons in an American fluid ounce. So the max number of drops you're likely to eke out of a one ounce bottle ranges from 360 to 540. I don't know where the 1250 drop/bottle figure came from, but even if the dropper was as efficient as an IV minidrip (which is highly unlikely) you'd still get only 1080 drops per ounce. > The two compounds differ slightly in iodine to KI ratios, but how or why this might matter therapeutically I can't say -- you'd have to ask your doctor. As to price, compare the cost based on your own actual dosing, Iodoral vs Tri-Quench, and a realistic assessment of available drops per ounce. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Okay, Folks…I finally see it clearly now. I’ve been wrong the whole time. I read the ingredients wrong.It’s 25 mg Potassium Iodide which equals 19 mg iodine and 6 mg potassium. Sorry I kept harping on this. The wording on the J site confused me. It should have read, “25 mgs Potassium Iodide, of which 19 are Iodine.” But it listed it to appear as 25 plus 19. I was duped. JPS. Back to my original question…anybody taking Tri-Quench?

It is adequate to dose to prevent radioactive iodine from being taking up by the thyroid (it is an SSKI product), but it is not appropriate for those who wish to give their body the full benefit of iodine.--At 07:20 PM 6/28/2011, you wrote:> From the website of Scientific Botanicals - who makes it ... tri-quench > is comparable to SSKI ...

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011  Hi Barb, When I did the Gerson Therapy 25 years ago, (which includes natural thyroid hormone and Lugol's ), my doctor was careful to tell me that I must take iodine while taking thyroid hormone. He said when taking iodine it is not necessary to take NTH, but to always make sure while I was taking thyroid, to include the Lugol's. I am not very scientific, but I remember him saying that thyroid hormone, whether my own, or porcine, works better with iodine. And the fact that I needed NTH, meant I was deficient in iodine. Maybe someone else can explain it better.Kathleen Re: Re: Iodoral vs Tri-Quench Just out of curiosity, why is it important to include iodine when taking NTH?
