Lugol’s Iodine

We've managed to weaken one of the body's primary mechanisms of defense. It can be restored with iodine supplementation --- easily and cheaply!

Originally, people would get all their iodine from dietary sources: kelp, seaweed, certain types of ocean fish, and vegetables grown in iodine-rich soil. But many ocean-bearing iodine-rich foods are now unavailable, and agricultural farmland is increasingly iodine-deficient, leading to reduced levels of iodine in foods. In 1924, iodine was first added to table salt as a preventative measure, and by 1940, the practice was in general consumer use. However, iodized salt has many other drawbacks: it contains aluminum and processing chemical residues, its overuse creates the well-documented conditions and associates with high sodium intake and sodium-potassium imbalance, etc.
With treated salt's convenient little addition to the Western diet - its integration accelerated by the explosive expansion of fast food outlets, at which table salt's cup doth overflow, one might think we have seen the last of iodine deficiency. Hardly.

What Dr. Clark has to say about Lugols Iodine:

“ Lugol’s Iodine Solution is old fashioned “iodine”. Iodine has a distinctive trait: it hangs up on anything and everything. In fact, it attaches itself so quickly we consider everything it touches as “stained”. This is just the property we want to make it safe for use. The amount you use is immediately hung up, or attached, to your mucus and can not be quickly absorbed into the blood or other organs. It stays in the stomach. And for this reason it is so useful for killing vicious bacteria like Salmonella.

Six drops of Lugol’s iodine can end all for Salmonella. If you have gas and bloating, pour yourself ½ glass of water. Add 6 drops of Lugol’s (not more, not less), stir with wood or plastic, and drink all at once. The action is noticeable in an hour. Take this dose 4 times a day, after meals and at bedtime, for 3 days in a row, then as needed. This eradicates even a stubborn case of Salmonella.

Notice how calming 6 drops of Lugol’s can be, soothing a manic stage and bringing a peaceful state where anxiety ruled before. Lugol’s is perfectly safe (if not allergic) to take day after day, when needed, because of its peculiar attaching property. It arrives in the stomach, reattaches to everything in proximity. Doomed are the Salmonellas; doomed are also eggs of parasites that might be in the stomach (cysts).

Suggestions of use for Lugol’s Iodine:

INTERNALLY: For gas, bloating, indegestion, stomach problems, food or salmonella poisoning, use 6 drops in ½ glass of water. See above for more info.

THYROID PROBLEM: Many problems in general, can be attributed to iodine deficiency. 75 yrs ago, Lugol’s iodine was commonly used by doctors. 2/3 of a teaspoon (60 drops) was the standard dose for thyroid disease. You should start with 6 to 12 drops a day in water for about one week and you will notice improvement. Then it is advisable to consult with your doctor.

IODINE DEFICIENCY: Take about 2, 3 or 4 drops in water daily for about a month. Can be increased to 6 drops daily if needed. After you’ve replenished iodine, then take twice a week.

MOUTHWASH: Great as a mouthwash against bacteria, fungus, mucus, virus, coated tongue, etc. Use 3 to 6 drops in glass of water, gargle, do not drink, spit out in glass and observe what comes out. Your mouth will feel refreshed and great.

ENEMA: Use a fleet enema bottle. Empty out contents, wash out with hot water. Wipe off lubricated tip thoroughly with a dry paper towel and wash with hot water. Do not use any detergents/soaps. Fill up bottle with room temp water. Preferable to boil water in glass container and let cool. Add up ½ teaspoon of Lugol’s. After after a few enemas, it can be increased to one teaspoon. Avoid spilling, it will stain. Lubrication for tip: only use olive oil, butter, vitamin E gel. Hold in for 5 to 15 min. (initially may be only able to hold for few mins). Preferable to lie down while doing. Repeat daily for 2, 3 or 4 days.

VEGETABLE WASH: In a large bowl or container, drop several drops of Lugol’s iodine into purified water. Soak veggies or fruits for a few mins. to kill any parasites or bacteria.
