Hanna, Wombat info.

Someone had posted this earlier from the Tahoma Clinic:

Over 30 years ago, two ophthalmologists observed that a combination tablet called "Iodo-niacin" (iodide 120 milligrams, niacin 15 milligrams) taken for several months could actually reverse atherosclerotic clogging of arteries. They proved this effect by taking pictures of clogged arteries in the backs of the eyes ("retinal photomicrographs") before and after treatment. The published photographs showed a significant lessening of the cholesterol-laden artery clogging in the "after" pictures.

Amazingly enough, no follow-up study has ever been published (probably because niacin and iodide aren't patentable). Despite this, the published pictures speak clearly for themselves. I recommend 4 to 6 drops of SSKI and niacin-containing B-complex daily (along with many other things) for anyone with significant cholesterol-related atherosclerotic clogging. Thyroid function must be monitored!

The study provided by Wombat (Thanks Wombie!) appeared to me, at first, conflicting with the above, when you go though the case summary.

The Arcus senilis not responding was at first confusing but we don't know the time frame for using the Iodo-Niacin.

From Dr. Rath and Dr. Li protocols for arterial clearing, it can take a year or more depending on how congested the arteries are.

Just from the one page, the study appears to be poorly thought out and implemented.
