I am fighting a dental abcess with Iodine for two weeks now and couldn't resist entering this thread. I have my morning shot glass of juice containing 8 drops Lugols 5%, 1 drop Magnascent 2% and one gram SSKI . I had previously swished silver coll. and also done another holding in mouth of that silver and thought I would just sit at the computer and hold my cocktail of Iodine before allowing it to sink in.
