Iodine Anyone? page 297

which means in your case that acne should get better, not worse.

Just keep in mind that often symptoms like acne can get worse before it gets better as your body starts flushing/pushing out the toxins. It may take some time before you see noticable improvment (so basicly dont freak out if it gets worse for a bit )

What is the problem you have ordering on-line?

Grizz

Delivery location. Regardless, I can't order online so I'm looking for a place to buy it retail. Can anybody help?

Thanks for the response grizz!!!

[DinoHunter]

Can you get it delivered to a friend?

Best place I can think of would be the local Pharmacy/Drug store, even if they dont have it, they might be able to order it for you?

Dynamik,
Your acne is indeed one of the results of severe iodine deficiency. Iodine deficiency means that every cell in your body attracts Halide Toxins like a sponge. Chlorine, Fluoride & Bromide will displace any iodine you have in the cells in your body.
The Halogen Robbers

If you are iodine deficient, these toxic chemicals fill the cells in your body. Bromide, Chlorine & Fluoride cause a Pandoras Box of health problems and your Acne. So absolutely chlorine is a big part of your problem. Do you have Fluoride in your drinking water? Yes? Then Fluoroderma. See these links:
Acne caused by Fluoride
As far as your skin cells are concerned, fluoride & chlorine are identical, both are absorbed if you are deficient in iodine.

I suspect that you are severely loaded with halide toxins and you should be especially careful to avoid Detox symptoms when you start taking Lugols Iodine with the REQUIRED supplements. Please follow the instructions carefully at Iodine 101

We have had great success with these procedures with zero detox symptoms, which means in your case that acne should get better, not worse.

Please keep us informed,

I do filter my drinking water so it is fluoride free. My acne isn't quite like the pictures of fluoroderma and I stay away from fluoride as much as possible, most likely fluoride free for 2+ years now. I do believe swimming while I was iodine deficient made me absorb chlorine. I will be starting my iodine supplementing along with the other recommended supplements next monday and will surely let you know how I do!

One question however, should I get calcium ascorbate(ester-c vitamin c) instead of the ascorbic acid I have currently? Will one bottle of Lugol's 2% iodine on amazon last me about 2 months?

I will be taking Vitamin D3(non soybean oil) and zinc picolinate along with this to help with my acne as well. If anyone recommends any other acne supplements, surely let me know, I want to prevent more breakouts while detoxing.

As far as my diet goes, I have been Paleo(I think this is similar to PB) without dairy, legumes, and gluten for about 3 months now.

One other thing I almost forgot, is there any correlation between iodine deficiency and fructose malabsorption? It seems to me that eating fruit causes me to get bloated, crave more fruit endlessly(binging), and gassy/loose stools.

check any local 'health food' stores, the ones here had other liquid iodines in stock but not lugols and they were happy to order it for me

I don't know much about the pros & cons of the different Vitamin C. I basically follow doctors orders. Dr. Buist at the Yahoo Iodine Group said she preferred Ester-C and so I can't go against her orders. She is the Doctor & I am the gopher. It has something to do with bio-availability of the different versions and ester-C is more bio-available. There are links on the net comparing all the forms of Vitamin C with each other, you might want to study.

1 bottle of Lugols should be enough to get you started long enough to titrate up slowly to the iodoral capsules.

Also the sources for Halide Chemicals is shocking. Bread & baked goods for bromide, that "New Car Smell" is halogens. Drugs & Vaccines, insectacides use on crop spraying, hair coloring, cosmetics,
Here is a list of products with Fluoride

I did some research on vit C & from what I found theres good indication that the standard Vit C (ascorbic acid) is pretty worthless as far as your body being able to use it.. basicly because its only a "part" of what actully makes up Vit C..
Your body needs all the other bits to be able to properly utilize it.
So Personally id stick with the Ester -C unless I find better info/product

Dino,
Thank you so much for that research. That must be why Dr. Buist chose Ester-C for her required supplements list. I do wish she would explain her decisions more, but alas, she is a very busy woman running her practice and the Yahoo Iodine Group, too. What she does makes me tired just looking at her !

How are you doing lately?

The best soure really would be in whole form (ie from your food) but for the amount needed we would need to eat unreasonable amounts of vit C rich fruit etc to get it, dont know about you but downing oranges by the gallon isent really that apealing LOL
Camu Camu powder would be very good but its cost prohibitive as youd still need to take a couple large spoonfuls a day.

Me? im doing alright. I see my accupuncturist every 2 weeks or so and He "thinks" the fibroid has gotten a bit smaller. wont know for sure until I get my next ultrasound in Sept though.
