Iodine and magnesium: liquid gold for homeschool families
Wednesday, 02. April 2008 by Renee Ellison
I’ve been experiencing some fantastically life-giving properties in two simple substances: iodine and magnesium. Allow me to tell you about these two substances that I think are like “liquid gold.”
Iodine: the thyroid can’t function properly without it, and it is seldom found in our food these days. Iodine wipes out bacterias of all sorts, gives energy, and is vital in correcting environmental pollution that hits the thyroid first. Apparently, 5% solution of iodine is not available for sale in the U.S. anymore, but you can still get 2%. All you need is ONE DROP per day…put in your children’s water, etc. Each of you can begin the use of it immediately and never quit!!!
Magnesium oil: I’ve found that with just one or two drops rubbed into the palm of the hands, life picks up new vitality. It is oily, and feels and smells like sea water. Years ago a physician mentioned to me that in medical school she found she usually could answer every dosage question on her exams with MAGNESIUM and pull an A!!! Apparently, magnesium is needed for every metabolic function, and it (rather than calcium, as is commonly thought) is helpful in combating osteoporosis. My hubby is even finding a drop of two of magnesium oil on his hands mitigates the effects of spring allergies…simply good for whatever. We all have next to none of this mother-load mineral in our systems, currently. You can put it in your water, soak your feet in it, etc.
A source for the magnesium oil that I’ve found helpful in overcoming spring allergies is http://www.globallight.net/ or by phone at 888-236-2108. JCrow.com (phone: 1-603-878-1965) is a source for Lugol’s iodine, and describes what it’s good for. We have no connection with either of these companies; no doubt there are other sources; these are just the ones we’re aware of.
Disclaimer: We are only sharing our personal experience with these two substances; we make no claims with respect to their efficacy for any purpose whatsoever, and we do not sell them.
More thoughts on iodine and magnesium, from http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/things-we-have-learned/—“Some thyroid patients are reporting that the use of iodine has either helped them lower their thyroid meds, or has improved their adrenal function. It has been reported that most individuals have low iodine levels (which you can ascertain via an iodine loading test), and since thyroid cells are comprised of iodine, it can be an important supplement to consider if you find yourself low. Many patients use Lugols, a liquid form, or even more popular, Iodoral, pill form. Moving up to 50 mgs has been the recommended dose. The use of iodine also helps eliminate toxins from your body, especially bromide, causing symptoms (breakout on your face, sleepiness, headaches, etc) that do eventually go away. With the iodine, it’s helpful to be taking Vitamin C and Magnesium. Vitamin C helps to heal the NIS Symporters (pumps that pull the iodine into the cells and then assist in organification). Magnesium, with important enzymes in the cells, helps utilize and oxidize/organify the iodine.
“A warning to those with an active antibodies attack called Hashi’s: several patients report that the use of iodine has exacerbated the attack, so you will need to watch for that. Google “iodine” for more information and to see if it’s right for you.
