Re: iodine prophylaxis in bacterial infections

You're welcome:) I can always count on you to love the old stuff as much as I do. Iodine used to be the universal medicine, still is, for some of us~ And yes, I'd read about some of that before...but, Iodine for leprosy? Had not read that! Anyway, tuberculosis, yes. There's a section in the book on the Iodine value of lipids extracted from tubercular animals...well, here ya go~!





I don't pretend to know anything about TB, but just from reading this one of the effects is disordered lipid metabolism. Thyroid hormone governs proper lipid metabolism... so... I vote yes(of course).

Scary about the teacher! How contagious is TB? Did you actually have TB as well?
