Then and now...BIG DIFFERENCES! Re: On the other hand...Re: Dr. Jarvis and Iodine usage
>>Not exactly. He knew and discussed the "well-known law of halogen displacement"
Long before the forum was a glitter in a future moderator's eye.<<
Yes, exactly! :) Your site is where I first read the law of halogen displacement, but Dr. Jarvis wasn't dealing with ANYTHING NEAR the amount of toxic halogens on our planet now...not even CLOSE. :(
>>Perhaps he did not have access to "modern" Japanese research but he certainly had acces to research of the time and was also very interested in Chinese medicine.<<
The time-honored healers and physicians were fantastic (I admire and study them all). But they didn't have the equipment, the vast sources of knowledge, the advancements NOR the poisons that we have now. This is CRUCIAL when studying the works of past great healers. Without their baseline knowledge many of us would still be sick...but we must adjust the knowledge to fit with today's 'reality'.
----Many of the herbal formulas available were designed in the middle-to-late 1800's, some even earlier. The 1800's were very different times. Today, we have junk food restaurants on every corner, get less exercise and have more stress than probably ever before in history. What it took to stimulate and cleanse Wyatt Earp and Buffalo Bill 150 years ago doesn't work today. Even some of the more modern herbal formula available were still designed in the 1940's or l950's...----

>>Dr Jarvis stated, "Ten drops of
Iodine represent more
Iodine than is found in the entire body">>
As far as we know (or that I can find) Dr. Jarvis never did urine analysis of several thousand patients utilizing
Iodine therapy/supplementation. The clinical data of the physicians that have done that, and monitored iodine input and output clearly, show that the body retains around 1500mg of iodine/iodide.
<
Dr. Jarvis has said, "If it should happen that your body becomes saturated with iodine, you will find that there is an increase of moisture in the nose. If this occurs, omit the iodine until the nose is normal."<<
Irritation of the mucous membrane in the nose and eyes, runny/watery nose and eyes are a symptom of bromine being released into the bloodstream by the iodine. Backing off the iodine would indeed stop the symptom of 'runny nose'...but that certainly does not indicate an excess of iodine...it indicates an excess of bromine.
We have quite a few Curezone members (myself and my husband included) that are taking far larger doses than Dr. Jarvis recommended. Virtually none of us have experienced a runny nose except in the early stages, when the bromine is being released.
>>We, as humans are still living on the same planet as Dr Jarvis. Changed as it may have since Dr. Jarvis' days of practice, he too was quite aware of the depleted
nature of soils and food, even in those times, 50 years ago. I am not so sure things have changed so much except for people's awareness of the various deficencies
he spoke of regularly at the time, himself.<<
Although our planet was FAR from perfect 50 years ago, it was not nearly as laden with the VAST quantities of toxic halogens we deal with today/daily:
During the time Dr. Jarvis researched and practiced:
--the bread contained iodine, not brominated flour
--the milk contained iodine
--the soil had MORE iodine
--the majority of water was not fluoridated
--fields were not sprayed with pesticides containing fluoride and bromine
--bromine was not added to swimming pools
--pharmaceutical drugs and Antibiotics did not contain fluoride and bromine
--chemtrails containing bromine were not sprayed over the country daily
--soda pop/beverages did not contain brominated vegetable oil
--the list is endless... :(
Your statement... "I am not so sure things have changed so much except for people's awareness of the various deficencies he spoke of regularly at the time, himself.", ...doesn't mesh with reality. Things have changed a LOT in 50 years.
