Iodine for Skin Lesions, Tick/Mosquito Bites

[Krys]

There have been many interesting posts about the usage of iodine in the past (helps with Candida).
I found this article interesting and it contains some new to me information that people dealing with scar formation may appreciate, too.

…iodine applied on the skin can be used to shrink swelling of the thyroid gland (goiters). So even a small amount of iodine absorbed through the skin can have good effects on body organs. …repeated application of iodine (Lugol’s) to the skin appears to cause regeneration of the skin from the bottom up…eventually sloughing the old version of the skin off like a snake molting. If there was a pre-cancerous lesion on the old skin, it is replaced with new skin minus the lesion. There does not seem to be any skin lesions which are not helped or cured by this procedure.

All pre-malignant lesions and many other oddities of the skin appear to respond to this regeneration process triggered by topical iodine. …a patient with a biopsy-proven breast cancer lesion (she refused surgery because of previous cancer treatment) that was strongly fixed to the skin responding well to topical iodine and ended up being a dimple on the breast three years later.

…perhaps many skin diseases are related to local tissue areas of relative iodine deficiency. …”keloid” (worm) incisions scars formed after surgical procedures. If the iodine intake and tissue levels are adequate, such as in Japan, keloid formation doesn’t happen.

Iodine put onto a mosquito bite would kill all bacteria and viruses at the site of the bite within 10-30 seconds making it impossible for any virus or bacteria to multiply and get started –such as in West Nile Fever. Naturally, this applies to tick bites (Lyme’s Disease) as well.

Warm wishes, Krys
