Product Information

The longest-lived of the radioactive isotopes of iodine is iodine-129, which has a half-life of 15.7millionyears, decaying via beta decay to stable xenon-129. [29] Some iodine-129 was formed along with iodine-127 before the formation of the Solar System, but it has by now completely decayed away, making it an extinct radionuclide that is nevertheless still useful in dating the history of the early Solar System or very old groundwaters, due to its mobility in the environment. Its former presence may be determined from an excess of its daughter xenon-129. [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] Traces of iodine-129 still exist today, as it is also a cosmogenic nuclide, formed from cosmic ray spallation of atmospheric xenon: these traces make up 10 −14 to 10 −10 of all terrestrial iodine. It also occurs from open-air nuclear testing, and is not hazardous because of its very long half-life, the longest of all fission products. At the peak of thermonuclear testing in the 1960s and 1970s, iodine-129 still made up only about 10 −7 of all terrestrial iodine. [35] Excited states of iodine-127 and iodine-129 are often used in Mössbauer spectroscopy. [21] People at risk for iodine deficiency include those who do not use iodized salt or supplements containing iodine, pregnant women, vegans who do not eat any animal foods, and those living in areas with low levels of iodine in the soil (e.g., mountainous regions). Toxicity

I read in The Peoples Pharmacy about Decolorized Iodine for getting rid of toenail fungus. I have been putting it on a big toe twice a day for several weeks. It is growing out ‘clean.’ The halogens darken in colour as the group is descended: fluorine is a very pale yellow, chlorine is greenish-yellow, bromine is reddish-brown, and iodine is violet. You need iodine from the very early stages of pregnancy. Having enough iodine in the diet for several months before pregnancy is very important. Your body is able to build up good stores of iodine in the thyroid, which can help it to function well during pregnancy, particularly in the early stages. So, it is crucial that if you are of childbearing age, especially when planning a pregnancy, you should meet the adult recommendation for iodine intake. It meant that I could not fake nice nails by sanding then polishing. I had to cut away as much of the nail as I could, and leave unpolished, AND expose my nails for others to see. (Opened toed sandals help them get fresh air.) It is also important to ensure that intake of iodine is adequate whilst breastfeeding, so that breast milk contains enough iodine for the baby at a time when the brain is still developing. Where is iodine found in the diet?Cottage cheese is one of the best sources of iodine. One cup of cottage cheese provides 65 mcg, while one ounce of cheddar cheese provides about 12 mcg ( 15). RDA: The Recommended Dietary Allowance for iodine is 150 micrograms (mcg) daily for adult men and women 19+ years, and 220 and 290 mcg daily for pregnant and lactating women, respectively. [1,2] This analyte solution was at first brown, but when titrated it turned a pale coffee colour. When starch was added just before the end point, it turned a dark grey-brown colour, as expected - the iodine forming a complex with starch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_test We can thank Napoleon for the discovery of iodine. His role was indirect, though. You may remember that Napoleon was ambitious. He wanted to dominate Europe. The Napoleonic wars lasted, off and on, from 1803 until 1815. The French were fighting Britain, Sweden, Russia, Naples, Prussia, Sicily, Austria, Portugal, Spain and a few countries we have probably forgotten. Seaweed is one of the best natural sources of iodine. However, the amount can vary significantly based on seaweed type, the region in which it grew and its preparation ( 5).

"Iodine deficiency in pregnant women living in the South East of the UK: the influence of diet and nutritional supplements on iodine status." Br J Nutr 111(9): 1622-1631. Farebrother J, Zimmermann MB, Andersson M. Excess iodine intake: sources, assessment, and effects on thyroid function. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. 2019 Jun;1446(1):44-65. Seaweed has a high concentration of iodine, but it contains variable amounts and intake can lead to excessive iodine. Brown seaweeds (such as kelp) in particular have a very high iodine content. Therefore, it is not recommended to eat brown seaweed or kelp more than once a week, especially during pregnancy. Other seaweeds, such as nori, may have a lower iodine concentration than kelp, but the iodine content varies considerably. Seaweed is therefore not a reliable source of iodine and is not recommended as a means of ensuring adequate iodine intake. The other iodine radioisotopes have much shorter half-lives, no longer than days. [29] Some of them have medical applications involving the thyroid gland, where the iodine that enters the body is stored and concentrated. Iodine-123 has a half-life of thirteen hours and decays by electron capture to tellurium-123, emitting gamma radiation; it is used in nuclear medicine imaging, including single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and X-ray computed tomography (X-Ray CT) scans. [36] Iodine-125 has a half-life of fifty-nine days, decaying by electron capture to tellurium-125 and emitting low-energy gamma radiation; the second-longest-lived iodine radioisotope, it has uses in biological assays, nuclear medicine imaging and in radiation therapy as brachytherapy to treat a number of conditions, including prostate cancer, uveal melanomas, and brain tumours. [37] Finally, iodine-131, with a half-life of eight days, beta decays to an excited state of stable xenon-131 that then converts to the ground state by emitting gamma radiation. It is a common fission product and thus is present in high levels in radioactive fallout. It may then be absorbed through contaminated food, and will also accumulate in the thyroid. As it decays, it may cause damage to the thyroid. The primary risk from exposure to high levels of iodine-131 is the chance occurrence of radiogenic thyroid cancer in later life. Other risks include the possibility of non-cancerous growths and thyroiditis. [38] We have one other explanation for why iodine might work so well against toenail “fungus.” The problem may not be fungus at all, but rather a bacterial infection. Or, it may be a combination of bacteria and fungi infecting the nail bed. Many people report that Neosporin antibiotic ointment is surprisingly effective.

It helps to absorb the rays so that clearer pictures of the body’s organs can be seen. Bath, S. C., C. D. Steer, J. Golding, P. Emmett and M. P. Rayman (2013).

Lancet 382(9889): 331-337. I have been using decolorized iodine three or four times a week for the past four weeks. It appears to have arrested and begun to reverse the progress of my toenail fungus.” ET says it is working and his doctor agrees: Bath, S. C. (2019). "The effect of iodine deficiency during pregnancy on child development." Proc Nutr Soc 78(2): 150-160. Yogurt is also a good dairy source of iodine. One cup of plain yogurt provides approximately half of the daily recommended amount ( 6).

The iodine content in nori varies between 16–43 mcg per gram, or about 11–29% of the daily value ( 8, 9). Lugols Solution is taken Orally by placing drops in a cup of water, Typically for 2% Iodine we recommend 6 drops per day.

Who can Buy LUGOLS IODINE SOLUTION? A French chemist (Bernard Courtois) was tasked with the job of making saltpeter within France. A key ingredient in the process was “soda.” Courtois extracted this chemical from seaweed (kelp) by burning it. The resulting seaweed ash, when treated with sulfuric acid by Courtois, turned into a distinctive purple vapor. The Greek name for the color was ioeides (iodine in English).Bath, S. C., S.

I was careful to apply to all areas of the nail – and underneath what nails pieces were there. Some additional tips: file, scrub, and clip on and around the nail to get as much ‘debris’ away and allow the medicine to work. Some epidemiologic studies have shown that high seaweed intakes are associated with an increased risk of certain types of thyroid cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women, but the exact mechanism is unclear. [2,3] Lower iodides may be produced either through thermal decomposition or disproportionation, or by reducing the higher iodide with hydrogen or a metal, for example: [55] TaI 5 + Ta → 630 ∘ C ⟶ 575 ∘ C thermal gradient Ta 6 I 14 {\displaystyle {\ce {TaI5{}+Ta->[{\text{thermal gradient}}][{\ce {630 In early periodic tables, iodine was often given the symbol J, for Jod, its name in German. [20] Properties [ edit ] Iodine vapour in a flask. Lugol's iodine was made in 1829 by the French physician jean Lugol (Hence the name). It is recognized by the World Health Organizations List of essential medicines, and is considered by many as the most effective and safest medicines needed in our health system. What is LUGOLS SOLUTION used for?Based on these results, 1 cup of milk can provide 59–112% of the recommended daily amount of iodine. Iodine deficiency usually leads to goiter, a disease featured by an abnormally enlarged thyroid gland. Iodine deficiency can also lead to hypothyroidism, a health condition featured by low metabolism that affects close to 10% of adults in the United States. Can I overdose on IODINE? In 1873 the French medical researcher Casimir Joseph Davaine (1812–1882) discovered the antiseptic action of iodine. [18] Antonio Grossich (1849–1926), an Istrian-born surgeon, was among the first to use sterilisation of the operative field. In 1908, he introduced tincture of iodine as a way to rapidly sterilise the human skin in the surgical field. [19]
