Sorry. You should not take Iodine and vitamin C together. It should be respected just as with the use of Miracle-Mineral-Supplement . Vitamin C is the enemy of Iodine as well. Iodine is an oxidant.

"Iodine is an oxidizing agent. Vitamin C is a substance that is easily oxidized. When Vitamin C is added to water containing iodine, the reaction that occurs converts iodine to Iodide ion (I-) -- which no longer tastes like iodine. In fact, it is the same ion that appears in iodized salt."

"The iodine is reduced to iodide, and the vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid. Iodide is an essential mineral, and dehydroascorbic acid is just as effective as a vitamin as the ascorbic acid form."

More?

"One way to determine the amount of vitamin C in food is to use a redox titration. The redox reaction is better than an acid-base titration since there are additional acids in a juice, but few of them interfere with the oxidation of ascorbic acid by iodine."

I don't trust the skin test with iodine painting either. When I was at high dose of iodine, it still took only a short while to disappear on my skin.

When I started Miracle-Mineral-Supplement last August, I stopped taking iodine altogether. I also had not been taking any vitamin C except in normal (but poor) diet since I started the iodine therapy February 2007. So, I have not taken any extra supplement of vitamin C for over a year now. Even today, I don't take any extra C supplement; except very occasionally. There is nutrition in diet; especially if you can find and buy local produce.

You wrote: "Vitamin C sold as ascorbic acid is not the real form of vitamin C.But in that form it does work but it can cause damages to your DNA/RNA.."

Can you give me a link as to where I can find more information regarding that please? And what sort of Vit C is considered best? I cannot afford much and I can get the ascorbic acid really cheap.

Thanks in advance...Scouter

I think most believe (on the supplement forum) that Lugol's is the best and most cost effective. It has both Iodine and Potassium Iodide. Especially if your going to take large doses.

These other iodines may be better but you really don't know what your taking for sure.

tomato, go over to the Iodine supplementation forum and ask that question. For nearly a century, Lugol's formula of iodine/potassium Iodide has been used in health practices both allopathic and naturopathic. It is clinically proven, by medical doctors, to cure some diseases and assist others to heal as well.
