Hi Guys I just ordered Lugol's Iodine 2% to see if it would help my hypothyroid situation. I already take Nature's Thyroid, but for some reason it doesn't help see any improvement with the way I feel or lab tests, so the Doc keeps upping the dose...not a fan! Here is my concern: Iodine has been touted as a great disinfectant and antibiotic. Very similar to Colloidal Silver in this regard. According to my research and the expert interviews I heard through the years, Colloidal Silver does not discriminate between beneficial VS pathogenic bacteria. That was definitely my experience with it. I hear the same comments regarding Iodine. In my case, its tough to keep the balance of the digestive system and keep IBS at bay is challenging enough, and I am afraid to cause further problems with taking Iodine. I would greatly appreciate any advice and experience you may share...thnx! PS I am and will be taking probiotics in conjunction with Iodine, but keep in mind that with all the new information coming out on the Gut Micro-biome frontier, its becoming clear that the puny amount/variety of probiotic strains available in the supplemental form are a drop in the sea compared to what has been discovered and not even discovered yet...

This is a reply to # 2,253,826i never had a problem drinking tons of homemade Colloidal Silver for a couple of months. i did and still do eat fermented foods and yoghurt and such. i was on a kimchi kick back then.
that aside, i think you will be quite please with the additional iodine. like Colloidal Silver , it is dose dependent. trapper maxim: with iodine, it is easy to take too little and very hard to take too much. trolls to the contrary, of course.

This is a reply to # 2,253,826Since the Iodine ideally gets absorbed into the bloodstream within the first few inches of small intestine, to be used in strengthening the epithelium across the body against bacterial and parasitic invasion, my instinct is to say no, it's not harmful to beneficial bacteria.
It is, however, used to kill parasites! It strengthens the ability of cells to create hydrogen peroxide, one of the body's defenses against infection.
The first few inches of small intestine are meant to be primarily sterile anyways, since that is where bile is mixed with chime from the stomach to continue the digestion of food.

This is a reply to # 2,253,826I make SCD legal yogurt with 10 drops of SSKI per 2L batch.
That ends all fake discussion on Iodine damaging good intestinal flora.
But if you wanna read on there are plenty of posts on why all Good Intestinal Flora's DNA is Iodine terminating while all bad is Aluminum terminating.
Because the +20000 tons of Alu Oxide dumped on you every year are good for you...
After you put on a tinfoil hat you may go on to read that nearly all current Good Flora sold is Alu terminating.. and that rat studies have shown that only once we intake more than enough Iodine does it get dumped into the biliary system to protect the gallbladder, kill parasites and dissolve stones..

This is a reply to # 2,254,055Hey Newport,
And how do you know that SSKI isn't killing the good bacteria in the yougurt ?
Anyway...
May I ask where do you get the beneficial bacteria for the yogurt ? Do you buy it and use a spoon of the product every time or you reuse some part of the last yougurt batch to create a new one ?
THANKS MAN.- Re: Iodine VS beneficial intestinal ... trapper/kcmo

This is a reply to # 2,254,745I use yogourmet starter: http://www.lucyskitchenshop.com/yogourmet.html
The test is kind of simple, add milk, starter and SSKI and see what happens in 24hrs. If you end up with a tasty velvety fully fermented yogurt then it worked.
There are two types of yogurt, one is batch made, you use the same strain over and over again. The other is thermal, it uses the fines strains that can only exist one after another. In short one bacteria works up to a certain PH then dies off to allow the finer (IMO) strain to fully develop. If you don't use milk solids this finer strain won't die off only go dormant.
This is what leaves you with intact cells which are equivalent to the most expensive Chlorella for detox..
For that you need to buy starter..

This is a reply to # 2,253,826My take on this would be that there is a very definite role in the body for iodine.
People can argue about Iodine supplementation and about dosages till the cows come home, but there is absolutely no question that the body needs some Iodine and that we get sick and probably die without it.
I don't think that can be said about Colloidal Silver or silver in any form. It's a heavy metal and arguably toxic.
Colloidal Silver is an interesting development and has its uses as an antibiotic. Whether it really has a role as a supplement is much more problematic.
I've used Colloidal Silver occasionally for infections, and would do so again. I have even briefly supplemented with it, but I stopped, and probably won't restart. I don't have the same reservations about iodine, even though precautions are needed with the latter (companion nutrients, etc).
