Re: Q and A on SSKI and magnascent

Hi Trapper,

you wrote:
"the Iodine project found that all elemental is out of serum after 2 hours of taking it."

is your source for this information http://www.optimox.com/pics/Iodine/IOD-08/IOD_08.htm
? where abraham states that:

"...no significant difference was observed between pre- and post-reduction levels, suggesting that only iodide, the reduced form, was present in urine. However, serial serum samples obtained for 24 hours following the loading test, showed a significant difference in the serum Iodide levels between pre- and post-reduced samples within the first 2 hours in a female subject, with post reduction levels 5-10% higher. This suggests the presence of serum Iodine early after ingestion of the Lugol tablets."

or do you have another source for this information? I would interpret what Abraham wrote more like "peak of Iodine in serum within the first 2 hours" meaning there is iodine in serum in the first 2 hours and after 2 hours is not the time where iodine is completely elimitated. actually, this document does not pinpoint the exact time where no iodine is left in serum.

btw, the same document says that there is a second peak in iodine after aprox 8 hours:
"Iodine obviously is not completely reduced to Iodide in the intestinal tract during absorption as mentioned in medical textbooks. In another female subject post-orthoiodosupplementation for 1 month, a second peak of serum iodine was observed 8 hours after the first peak. Apparently, iodine is not reduced to Iodide by the liver during enterohepatic circulation."

if you refer to another source, it would be great if you tell us which one this is.

thanks! Tweet
