New to Iodine

Hi,
I'm new to this forum. Trapper and Neomi both recommended that I start using Lugol's Iodine to treat my unbearable eczema and to rebalance my hormones.
My question is how do I use it? I know I can mix it with some oil and apply it topically but am I supposed to take it orally too? If so, how much? Should I expect any side effects?
At the moment, I can only find the 1/2 strength that's being sold in Australia. I can either purchase that first and buy the 5% later or wait until I can get a hold of the full strength. Is the 1/2 strength as effective??
Thanks for reading :)

Read this article from the link below about healing exzcema from taking carnosine, biotin and msm. I orginally replace biotin/msm with taking 4 teaspoon a day of brewer yeast powder since it contains both ingredients and HIGH in zinc and Carnosine in powder form w/ an EFA oil (your choice) such as borage,hempseed, Sunflower or Flaxseed. Udo's Choice 3-6-9 is an excellent as well. I take I orginally take 50mg of Lugol's Iodine three or four times a week but you do have to start SLOWLY, and take one drop a day.
MULTI/VITAMIN? MAGNESIUM?

"What everybody has to know that diet is not the answer.I will try to explain as clearly as I can.You can change your diet all you want but if you dont fix the problem you will not have success.Why do you think all your friends can eat and drink what ever they want.There insides are so strong that nothing penetrates it.people with health problems have leaky gut,but the problem is nobody knows the proper way to fix it.here is how you fix it take 75 mg of zinc carnosine 10 mg of biotin and 2000 to 10000 of msm and within one month your leaky gut will be cured and your exzema will be gone without changing your eating habits....Good luck"

This is a reply to # 1,169,950Trapper- It's not alot to me.....haha
1. Carnosine is best for strengthening and protecting liver and kidney and used to heal ulcers, and food intolerance while chelating lead, AL and NI.
2. Brewer yeast is to control/reduce candida and produces stomach with healthy bacteria.
3. Omega 3 reduces gut inflammation and increases calcium
4. N-A-G protect stomach lining while healing and decreases stomach yeast,
5. Lugols an iodine, parasite killer, rid body of liver flukes IMPORTANT:(Start slowly and work way up to 10 drops for one week if battling w/ leaky gut then reduce to 50mg for long term maintance)
6. Nigari Oil for magnesium
**To answer your question brewer's yeast is different from BAD yeast. Brewer's yeast is actually beneficial and carnosine I get online (powder form). I have heard about carnosine in pill form but I'm not to familiar with that route.
The route I went was take Lugol's Iodine 10 drops for a week and then maintance with 50mg 3-4 times a week. Then I started taking carnosine with brewer's yeast together and drink 3 times a day. I take 4 teaspoon a day of Omega 3 and lastly recently ordered NAG which I'll be taking twice a day and reducing one cup of Carnosine/B.Y.
drink.

This is a reply to # 1,169,880Hi there,
You may wanna look at the Candida Forum too (if you haven't already) for diet and supplement advice. Biotin is a good idea as already said, also vitamin b3 and the other anti fungals, oregano oil, pau d'arco, lots of fresh clove garlic, grapefruit seed extract.
You might also want to strengthen the integrity of your gut using gluatmine and glucosamine.
Good luck. - Re: New to Iodine trapper/kcmo

This is a reply to # 1,169,880holy moly, neomi, thats a hell of a list.
fact is, J, yes, get the half strength stuff. determine that it has both Iodine and KI in it. take it accordingly - just double the dose one would use with Lugols 5%. any questions, just ask.
you may find Iodine clearing up a lot of the problem all by itself. dont forget the selenium.- questions J9523

This is a reply to # 1,170,301Thanks Trapper, Neomi and Peggyaus.
How much selenium should I be taking? The only one I have is in a multivitamin and it has 26 mcg (micrograms?). Or should I buy a separate one?
Neomi, is brewer's yeast the same as normal yeast? I am allergic to yeast; would the brewer's affect me?
Cant seem to find carnosine. Will keep looking.
Trapper, I know this should probably be in a different forum but with the water distiller, is it better to get the ones with or without filters??
THANKS!- Re: questions trapper/kcmo

This is a reply to # 1,170,310dont use filters with your distiller.
as for the selenium, get selenomethionine. the now brand is good. with this type, one can take over 400mcg without worry. 800-1000mcg is a good daily amount.
as for the yeast thing, brewers yeast and nutritional yeast are different from bakers yeast or the yeast infections people get.- Re: questions J9523

This is a reply to # 1,170,316800-1000mcg?? Everything seems to be only 26mcg. And they all state anythimg more than 100mcg can be harmful??

This is a reply to # 1,170,321i get along well with 1000mg of selenomethionine. make sure it is that form and you will be fine. yes, i know what they say, about selenium and Iodine and a lot of things that arent true.

You can get "Thomson's" selenium in Australia, 150 mcgs. Many health food stores carry Thompson's brand, just ask for it.

This is a reply to # 1,170,446Peggy- you're the best! And it's on sale too!
I'm sorry- just another question. The descriptions says this:
"Thompson's Organic Selenium - Each tablet contains:
Selenomethionine 375mg equive selenium 150mcg"
-So how much do I take to get b/w 400-800mcg??

This is a reply to # 1,170,447Hi again,
glad to help... 2 tabs would be 300 mcg, therefore taking 4 will get you into the range you desire; i.e, 600 mcg's by my calculations. I've been taking 2 daily with no probs for a very long time - why not start with 2 and see how you go?
