Re: Claire where to you apply the transdermal iodine?

[Guest guest]

Bonnie,I believe the transdermal application of Lugol's is just as powerful as ingesting it because that is my personal experience. But it's possible that this is an individual thing, depending on one's weight or other factors. I apply Lugol's with coconut and castor oils, so they may be the major factor in deep and quick absorption.I will share here just one of the experiences that formed my opinion on this: When I first began using Lugol's internally, I had some digestive problems and decided to try the transdermal approach. This worked beautifully until the day I tried, for some reason, to apply the Lugol's to my abdomen. Talk about a big-time tummy ache!On 6/30/2011 10:23 AM, Bonnie Cole wrote:

Hello:

I've been on Lugol's 5% for about 2 months now. First one month with 1 drop and now another month with 2 drops. So far I've felt not too bad.

Yesterday, I took my 2 drops and THEN painted another 2 -3 drops on my forehead (ROSACEA) with a Q-tip. I was very nervous and awake the ENTIRE NIGHT - awful.

Does Iodine ON THE SKIN, work just the same as in water? So that means yesterday I got a total of about 5 drops? I thought the SKIN ROUTE was not as powerful.

So I guess I shouldn't do both? Either or but not both?

Thanks,

greetings.I recently read a study that said that 12%of iodine on the skin will metabolize. Unfortunately I do not know what percent is metabolized when taken orlaly.Maybe some else knows this tid bit of info and a comparison can be madechris

Presouz,

Everywhere.  (It's less confusing, as the thread goes on, if you put

your question in the body of the text.)

I don't think there has ever been a study to determine how much of

transdermally applied iodine in a "carrier" oil such as

castor oil is actually absorbed and utilized.

And I doubt there is anyway to say for certain how much of ingested

iodine is made available to the body if there are failures of the

digestive system, particularly the organs.

My question would be:  How do these studies measure the absorbtion

and utilization of iodine?  My understanding is that the measurement

of iodine in the blood is not significant -- but I may be confused

on this point.
