Greetings!

I don't know how much help I can be, but I'll give it a try :)

'Most all of us are utilzing Iodoral tablets or Lugol's Solution (Iodoral is Lugol's Solution in tablet form). I haven't heard/seen much about Prolamine Iodine, so I can't tell you anything much about dosages, etc. However, I've pasted a link /article below from the The Iodine Group (a source of VAST amounts of information, research, and physicians who are using Iodine with their patients).

When you click the link to the article below, you'll see a 'search box' in the upper right-hand corner. If you do a search on Prolamine, you'll find at least a page's worth more of links and information that mention Prolamine.

I have no idea how effective this product is for healing and dislodging/removing toxic halogens from the body. I do know that the reason than many of us choose Lugol's Solution is because it's been utilized for healing by physicians safely and effectively for well over a century...and the majority of the current research and clinical applications has been done using Lugol's/Iodoral tablets.


Hope this gives you some help & information :)

Iodine Fulfillment Therapy

West B

Health Alert Newsletter, December 2005, Volume 22, Issue 12



"By avoiding Iodine therapy, you could be missing out on the very link that could get you well. Today we know that total body iodine fulfillment or sufficiency can finally resolve tough, stubborn problems that resist all other treatments. Called orthoiodosupplementation, this treatment employs elemental iodine supplements until the thyroid gland and all other iodine-sensitive sites in the body have reached iodine sufficiency.



"The most commonly difficult problems for which this therapy has been called a panacea are fibrocystic breasts, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypo- and hyperthyroid (with or without goiter), brain fog, constipation, obesity, diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), and even some heart problems—most notably irreversible arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation."



"Iodine is detected in every organ and tissue in the body. It is found in high levels in the thyroid gland, liver, lung, heart, and adrenal glands. It is found in the highest concentrations in fat and muscle tissue. It is depleted out of the thyroid gland and other tissues when thyroid hormone medications are prescribed. Iodine has been considered so important that up until 20 years ago, it had been routinely added to bread as a supplement. Now because of politics and fear of iodine, the thyroid-toxin bromine has taken its place as a bread supplement. And in the past 20 years there has been an increased prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, as well as more thyroid and breast cancers."



"Doctors could get as high as a 90% cure rate with hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) by using what would be considered high doses of iodine daily. Doses of six to 37 mgs daily seemed equally effective in resolving cases of hypothyroid (underactive thyroid)."



"Whole body iodine sufficiency is also a critical means to counter the side effects of thyroid hormone medications (Synthroid, etc.). Long-term use of these drugs is associated with depletion of thyroid and tissue iodine levels, as well as increased rates of cancer. Fluorescent scanning of the thyroid clearly shows how drug and other medical thyroid therapies deplete the gland and body of critical iodine. Therefore, Synthroid or thyroid-destructive therapies should never be taken without iodine therapy—something you will never hear from your endocrinologist.



"In addition to thyroid therapy, all thyroid patients should be on iodine therapy, with the goal to reach a whole body iodine sufficiency. When this state is reached, the following results (gathered using sophisticated lab testing, fluorescence screening, clinical measurements, and a host of other high-tech medical testing procedures) have been observed:

*

Goiter is reduced or eliminated.
*

Stress on the pituitary gland with resultant high TSH readings is eliminated.
*

Increased excretion of thyroid poisons and heavy metals occurs via the kidneys.
*

The liver’s detoxification mechanisms are enhanced.
*

Obesity is more easily overcome—in fact, iodine therapy may be a critical and unknown factor in obesity.
*

Diabetes and high blood pressure are more easily controlled.
*

Breast tissue normalizes with decreased occurrences of fibrocystic breast disease.
*

Menopausal symptoms are improved.
*

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome can be cured.
*

Brain function is better, with less brain fog.
*

Heart function is better, with reduced arrhythmia problems.
*

And cancer rates, especially of the thyroid and breast, are reduced."

"We use Prolamine Iodine, which is the organic form. Each tablet contains 3 mgs of iodine. Iodoral is less expensive, and some studies (at least with fibrocystic breast disease) show it to be more effective than Prolamine Iodine. Our results with all conditions show them to be equally effective.



"Exactly what dose is best for you is difficult to determine. But we now know that what were formerly considered high doses of the right form of iodine are safe and effective. Some iodine-deficient people only need a tablet or two daily. For people with more serious iodine deficiency problems, iodine sufficiency must be achieved. This is accomplished with a daily dose of around 37 mgs for three months: four Iodoral or 12 Prolamine Iodine tablets daily.



"And this dose should be achieved slowly—starting with one Prolamine Iodine tablet daily, increasing one to two tablets daily each week. Without side effects, the dose should be increased weekly until the iodine sufficiency dose of 12 daily is achieved. With Iodoral, start with one tablet daily and increase by one tablet each week until you are taking four tablets daily. Either way, after achieving the full iodine sufficiency dose, it should be maintained for three months."

I'm not familiar with this Brand of Iodine. It sounds like it has a lot of excepients (fillers) so I wouldn't want to load myself with fillers. If I were you I would get some Lugol's Iodine or Iodoral if you're more comfortable with tablets.

"Now while the thyroid gland helpfully stores Iodine from the blood passing through it every 17 minutes, the gland may also be made to lose that stored Iodine if, for example, we take in drinking water to which chlorine is added, or use too much sodium chloride, whose common name is table salt . There is a well-known law of halogen displacement. The halogen group is made up as follows:
Relative
Halogen Atomic Weight
Fluorine 19.
Chlorine 35.5
Bromine 80.
Iodine 127.

The critical activity of any one of these four halogens is in inverse proportion to its atomic weight. This means that any one of the four can displace the element with a higher atomic weight, but cannot displace an element with a lower atomic weight. For example, fluorine can displace chlorine, bromine and Iodine because fluorine has a lower atomic weight than the other three. Similarly, chlorine can displace bromine and iodine because they both have a higher atomic weight. Likewise, bromine can displace iodine from the body because iodine has a higher atomic weight. But a reverse order is not possible. A knowledge of this well-known chemical law brings us to a consideration of the addition of chlorine to our drinking water as a purifying agent. We secure a drinking water that is harmful to the body not because of its harmful germ content but because the chlorine content now causes the body to lose the much-needed iodine."

I, for one, would be very interested to learn how you do on it!

We are all pioneers here. I am one of the rare few here taking detoxified iodine and have had phenomenal results! (I'm OFF of my hypothyroid meds - my breasts are no longer thick and lumpy and rubbery - and my heart no longer has palpitations, no more arrythmia, and it has a better heartrate!

What you may be interested to know, is that for the EIGHT days I was waiting for my detoxified Iodine to arrive, I took the leftover Standard Process Organic Prolamine Iodine tablets that I had on hand. Four years prior, I bought them from my chiropractor/nutritionist for my thyroid. I didn't think they were helping...so I quit them. (I was an undiagnosed Celiac patient at the time, and was still eating a lot of bread which has a lot of bromides in it).

Anyway, I've been eating easier-to-digest gluten-free breads since then. So, THIS YEAR, and after ONLY EIGHT DAYS on the prolamine 3mg organic Iodine tablets, I went to someone's house who happened to have cats in the house! I was highly allergic to cats. I thought I'd have to leave....

Eight hours later I did NOT have allergic symptoms AT ALL.

I later heard on Dr Flechas' famous 2-hour-audio that the allergic person is deficient in IODINE!

Bottom line, the Standard Process iodine tabs are certainly NOT without merit!

Like I said, I would certainly be interested to hear your results after awhile!

For detox issues, I have learned that this protocol works best (for me) by using 1/2 tsp of high quality Seasalt (I buy this brand at my local HFS) instead of 1/4 tsp.

I also drink 3 quarts of non-fluoridated and non-chlorinated water daily (I weigh 160 pounds).

Good luck, good health, and may God bless!

Hi,

I'm on Prolamine too although when the bottle runs out i might switch to Lugol's or iodoral, we'll see. anyway i started recently and i'm up to ONE Prolamine a day, taken at bedtime. This is only 3 mg iodine. It IS an iodine/iodide combo, I asked my health practitioner who sold it to me to confirm this, as it's not stated online or on the bottle for some reason.

I am finding that I am having detox reactions to even this amount taken daily. For me that means TIRED TIRED TIRED and dragging around, and even more freezing cold in my air-conditioned office building than normal. if this gets too much i'll skip a day. but for now my plan is to increase one tablet per week. i chew it to get the most out of it (imperfect digestion!).

Let me know how it goes for you!

Thank you for all your replies! I have been looking at the links and trying to learn as much as I can. I have started using Prolamine Iodine as I've cut out iodized salt and now only use Sea Salt . I drink de- Ionized Water at home and Culligan at work.

Because I am 31 years old and relatively healthy,(have constipation and am ten pounds overweight) I want to see how I feel using Iodine since "formerly considered high doses of the right form of Iodine are safe and effective." I like that it increases liver efficiency and can relieve brain fog. My family has a history of cysts on our breasts so I'm hoping this will prevent/dissolve any in my case.

Personally, I've learned so much about my body since I started on this journey last fall. I had no idea I was gluten sensitive and lactose intolerant! Ha! I was raised with the mentality that you just ignore your body and go to the doctor when you can't stop the bleeding. I'm tough, yes, but out of touch with myself. Listening to how my body reacts to a healthy Diet was amazing. What, no bloating??? Now I'm just trying to tweak my diet and supplements to help this body function at its best. Thank you for all your encouragement. I will keep you all posted.
