Anybody did the iodine test before?

Question

I keep on doing the iodine test with a 2% iodine tincture on my skin and the spot goes away after 2-3 hours even though I am taking iodine supplement. How long it takes to stay on for 24 hours?

It is a test to see if you have enough iodine.

Answer 1

If you really want to talk to people who know what the heck they are talking about regarding Iodine, go over to curezone.com and visit the Iodine Supplementation forum....Trapper, Wombat and Vulcan are the experts. Lots of people having great success with iodine.

GOOD LUCK! :)

Answer 2

Why are you doing this??

Do you believe yourself to be iodine defficient???

What testing has been done to show this??

There are causes of hypothyroidism other than iodine deficiency.

Excess quantities of iodine can be dangerous if you have a diseased thyroid.


"The "test" of putting iodine on the skin to watch how fast it disappears is not an indicator of anything. The iodine disappearance rate is unrelated to thyroid disease or even iodine content of the body.(1-2) Meticulous research by Nyiri and Jannitti in 1932 showed clearly when iodine is applied to the skin in almost any form, 50% evaporates into the air within 2 hours and between 75 and 80 percent evaporates into the air within 24 hours. (1) A total of 88 percent evaporates within 3 days and it is at this point that the evaporation stops. The remaining 12 percent that is absorbed into the skin has several fates. Only 1-4% of the total iodine applied to the skin is absorbed into the blood stream within the first few hours. The rest of the iodine within the skin (8-11%) is slowly released from the skin into the blood stream. "
