chemical grades for Lugol's

[Guest guest]

I have now heard back from the other seller on ebay whom I contacted,

the_full_orchestra, whose name is . The grade of his materials is also

ACS, the purest grade that exists. So I feel confident in my continued

recommendation of his services. And as I said, I have ordered both his

Lugol's and made my own with his materials. They are beautiful materials.

He sells Lugol's in several strengths, as well as the raw crystals to make

one's own Lugol's. It's even yet more inexpensive when made at home.

So now we have two sellers on ebay for Lugol's that I can recommend and

feel confident about. My original post follows in order to keep this

information together.

If you think you might want to buy Lugol's in the future, I recommend that

you save this email on your computer so that you have easy access to it.

Since some people continue to harp on whether the chemical grade for the

iodine we are buying off ebay is pure or not, I decided to ask the sellers.

I have heard back from one of the sellers. He says that his purity is ACS,

which is the highest purity available. So the seller " nassauconnection "

whose name is , is definitely safe to buy from. However he does not

sell the raw materials to make Lugol's.

I have not heard back from the seller the_full_orchestra. I have however

purchased from him and everything I bought, including the raw materials to

make Lugol's myself, was sparkling clean and beautiful. But I cannot be

certain at this point the exact grade.

Here is information from Linn, one of our moderators, about the NCS

Pharma are according to the judge in Pfizers whistleblower case "serial liars" he could have added a lot else besides!!They are all criminals period. From: jaxi <jaxi.schulz@...>iodine Sent: Tue, 16 August, 2011 5:52:17Subject: Re:

Re: chemical grades for Lugol's

If you are determined to not trust anyone then you can choose to do that. They could provide you with everything you want and I think you would still not trust or believe them. You seem to be determined to believe the worst and that everyone is lying. Well your brand name folks have just as high a risk of lying about their product as anyone else, as has come out in the news time and time again. Brand name is not a guarantee of purity either.

Can either of these sellers provide proof of their purchase of ACS grade chemicals? Do they provide a MSDS? (though a MSDS may not be required of individuals, I don't know)

What kind of documentation are they providing?

Can you provide their full names, addresses and contact phone number?

From my perspective nothing has changed in regards to taking the word of an anonymous individual as to purity of their product.
