Flu or not flu, the Japanese have one quarter of the US female breast cancer rate and 1/10th of prostate cancer rate. Something to think about.(Tide goes in, seaweed stays out, you can't explain that.) When Japanese people move to the US and change their diets their cancer rate goes up. https://www.roswellpark.org/cancertalk/201707/breast-cancer-rates-rising-among-japanese-women "“It's been said that the Western lifestyle and diet contribute to this high incidence rate. In Japan, as the younger generations are adopting the American culture, diet and habits, the breast cancer rate is increasing.”" ------------------------------------------------- Historical overview. Imagine, the Chinese were using it in seaweed form 5000 years ago. I was slightly off with the 200 years history: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3509517/ Another one: https://www.optimox.com/iodine-study-14 "By the time Bauman identified large concentrations of iodine in the thyroid gland in 1895, pharmaceutical and apothecary preparations containing iodine, excluding thyroid extracts, were widely used as a panacea for all human ills. To quote Kelley:22 “In the first flush of enthusiasm for the newcomer, physicians and surgeons tested it and tried it for every conceivable pathological condition. The variety of diseases for which iodine was prescribed in the early years is astonishing — paralysis, chorea, scrofula, lacrimal fistula, deafness, distortions of the spine, hip-joint disease, syphilis, acute inflammation, gout, gangrene, dropsy, carbuncles, whitlow, chilblains, burns, scalds, lupus, croup, catarrh, asthma, ulcers, and bronchitis — to mention only a few. Indeed, tincture of iodine, iodoform, or one of the iodides, was applied to almost every case that resisted the ordinary routine of practice; and between 1820 and 1840 there appeared a remarkable series of essays and monographs testifying to the extraordinary benefits to be achieved by this new and potent remedy.”Unfortunately, these monographs disappeared from US medical libraries. "
Further note on Morton salt: " Iodization of salt gave a false sense of iodine sufficiency and resulted in the public relying on iodized salt for supplementation instead of the previously used forms of iodine and iodide such as the Lugol solution in the recommended daily amount of 0.1-0.3 ml containing 12.5-37.5 mg elemental iodine. In order to ingest 12.5 mg of elemental iodine from salt, one would have to consume 165 g of salt; and obviously three times that amount of salt would be required for supplying 37.5 mg elemental iodine.3,5 Besides, table salt in the US contains iodide only, " "It is of interest to note that prior to iodization of salt, autoimmune thyroiditis was almost non-existent in the US, although Lugol solution and potassium iodide were used extensively in medical practice in amounts two orders of magnitude greater than the average daily amount ingested from iodized salt. This suggests that inadequate iodide intake aggravated by goitrogens, not excess iodide, was the cause of this condition.2 Of interest is the fact that autoimmune thyroiditis cannot be induced by inorganic iodide in laboratory animals unless combined with goitrogens, therefore inducing iodine deficiency."
That a lemon wedge or two and a .... bottle of Don Julio Tequila. Meanwhile Chumpie says: "I didn’t know people died from the flu" so we are all safe .... except his grandfather died during the 1918 influenza pandemic hahaha. Drink up.
That is my dream right now. If only Italy were open... I'm not worried at all about getting the coronavirus. Just going to Costco is enough of a petri dish.
What's up love muffin, have trouble reading the thread? For some reasons your post showed up, I guess you removed me from your Ignore list. I will correct that by putting you on mine, but because I like to educate the ignorants and the dumbfucks (you are both): (posted earlier already) "In order to ingest 12.5 mg of elemental iodine from salt, one would have to consume 165 g of salt; and obviously three times that amount of salt would be required for supplying 37.5 mg elemental iodine.3,5 Besides, table salt in the US contains iodide only, " Not to mention, iodide actually EVAPORATES, depending on how you keep it. I am glad I could be helpful, let me know if you need me for anything else.
The 130mg stated is for to protect from radioactive exposures. It's not intended to be taken chronically... well, bc thyroid. There is nothing quantified here, other than serum conc: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21441383
