Re: Why have any iodine forums?

He does not say take more than daily recommended dose anywhere does he?

Furthermore, he is an actual MD who knows what he is doing! He recommends a full spectrum of minerals, not just a few.

This further examines the article you refer to:

"The Mineral Issue

To feed, fuel and perk up the cells of the immune system (especially NK cells and macrophages) numerous interventions have been attempted, mostly based on orthomolecular and herbal medicine principles. We found that amongst those approaches, abundant mineral substitution based on the red cell mineral analysis is most rewarding. Rarely should medical drugs be used.

If clients show abnormal high losses of sex steroid hormones in the urine, the patient may be cobalt deficient. The urine hormone test and cobalt drops are available at the Tahoma Clinic Renton, WA. For a while selenium should be given in high doses to suppress viral replication and render bioavailable mercury non-reactive.

The element most critical in the Lyme patient however is iodine. A two inch square of Lugol’s Iodine is painted on the patient’s skin and should remain visible for 24 hours. The sooner it is absorbed the more deficient the patient. An oral form of Lugol’s is available under the name Iodoral (Optimox, Torrance, Ca).

Filling up the body’s mineral reserves has always been the most essential part of our heavy metal detox program. It is also the most essential part of our Lyme treatment."

To explain Meyer's Cocktail:

What is a Meyer’s cocktail?

At our clinic we offer " The Meyer's Cocktail", an intravenous vitamin and mineral protocol developed by John Meyer's, MD., a physician in Baltimore, Maryland, in the 1970's. The cocktail contains magnesium chloride/sulfate, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), B complex, and hydroxocobalamin (B12). We can augment the original cocktail, depending on the person's health condition, with such things as amino acids, glandular extract, homeopathic preparations to improve your health and sense of well being.
