Today I started making Iodine Oil with the hopes of making Iodine ointment in the near future. This could be made into so many differant types of ointments it also boggles the mind. Everything from treating ring worm, pimples, all skin issues, wounds, etc., etc., etc.....I am fasinated to try using oil of Iodine on the skin as a method for the Thyroid to have a better chance verses the quick delivery of Lugol's that enters, is changed by the liver and expelled asap.
I believe the Iodine in a tree comes from the air and sunshine, I have zero clue if the Iodine in the ocean is of the same nature and only a great chemist would know how iodine crystals are formed and I am pretty sure they don't use a tree.
I personally believe a substance made of the correct plant based chemicals could support human life on an ounce or two per day or less. That in fact, 99% of what we put in our mouth is waste and we only need a very small amount of minerals.
Such a substance should make a person feel satisfied 24/7 with no hunger ever. If this could be done, no stomach acid would be produced and lifespan would be endless. As long as we are hungery, we are failing to live.
