Hello again. I just started my family on Lugol's iodine. We are up to 3 drops in water/orange juice in AM. Last night my husband's back/leg pain was worse than usual. Would this have anything to do with an iodine detox? Also, this morning he was very irritable, probably due to pain but wondering if one has anything to do with the other. We also take a liquid multi each AM and hopefully there is enough supplements (selenium, boron) to help with the iodine reaction. Please advise if there are any suggestions to our current protocol and if we should just continue on this course, slowly working up to more drops each day. Thanks for any help. It is so nice to be able to heal ourselves from the inside out. Also, an interesting observation, our dreams are much more vivid after starting lugol's.

Also, Maggie, are you following the full iodine protocol? You should be taking Vitamin C, magnesium, selenium and unrefined sea salt (should be grey or pink in color). If you are having detox you can try taking 1/2 tsp. Of unrefined salt in 1/2 cup warm water and then follow with a full glass of water. You can repeat this every 30-45 minutes until urination. Before I started iodine I took lots of liver support. That might help you with detox issues.

Cramping, muscle pain is likely mineral deficiency, like magnessium, potassium, B vit..... It is so important when taking iodine, I. E. Lugol's, that you follow the rest of the protocol (supplements). Iodine is awesome for your body, but in order for detox(cleaning out) and saturation to work, your pathways have to be nourished as well. All these things work together. There is lots of info on this site about iodine therapies. Also, David Brownstein, a Dr., has many books about using Iodine to treat disease, and again the kicker to having much success, the support supplements so your body works harmoniously for a less symptomatic healing. be well.
Hi, I am wondering what you can tell me about ingesting Lugol's iodine. What is the difference between this and the Iodine tincture at the store with the skull and bones on it warning us of poison? I see so many positive reviews on Lugol's iodine, and as a person who suffers with hypothyroidism, I am curious to know this.
Here is a sample website that severely frowns on ingesting iodine: http://healthwyze.org/index.php/ingesting-iodine.html.
Anything you can tell me is appreciated, ~aj

Firstly the word synthetic is being used as a scare tactic on this website. The actual meaning of synthetic is: (Taken from Wikipedia)
-Synthesis, the combination of two or more parts, whether by design or by natural processes. Furthermore, it may imply being prepared or made artificially, in contrast to naturally.
The former meaning is the actual one that should be applied to lugol's iodine. There is 5% iodine (naturally occuring element) and 10% potassium iodine (two naturally occuring elements) as well as H2O (also two naturally occuring elements). The website is using synthetic to scare people into thinking its like synthetic hormones or something. When you put two or more elements together it can be called a synthetic as it was not naturally occuring.
Lugol's is different than the iodine you find in the store as it does not contain chemicals like alcohol and stabilizers that the government insists companies put in the bottles in order to keep us from consuming it. Not because it's bad for us but because if we are healthy then the health industry suffers. But that's a whole other basket of trouble so I won't go into the why's.
If you are hypothyroid you should be careful. Make sure your thyroid levels are normal first. If you start it when hypo you may make it worse. But I have spoken to some hypo's who have taken it and gotten better to the point where they could decrease thier meds drastically. Remember to take magnesium, Vit C, and Selenium at the same time. Otherwise you can cause more problems than you will help.

Asa, an excellent book I read is from David Brownstein, "Iodine why we need it and why we can't live without it".
He had many patients he treated with lugols. Not only the thyroid needs iodine but the uterus, and the breasts. Iodine deficiency also causes fibrous breasts and most women who have breast cancer according to the book are iodine deficient. Having hypothyroidism means your body is very deficient.
Iodine also removes heavy metals from the body and flouride and bromide.
A really excellent book, I recommend everyone read it.
I don't think you can make your condition worse by taking Lugols because your body needs it, is craving it. Anyway read the book and make your own decision.
Would decoloration of tincture iodine with either desoluble vitamin C, lime or lemon juice reduce the strenghth or potency of iodine and its taste? Could anybody tell me the measurement for the decoloration?
Best regards.

Hi, I am Teresa. Today I bought marine Lugol's solution. This 10 mil. bottle contains: Iodide 11.835% De-ionized Water, potassium iodide, Iodine.
I don't know is this solution safe for internal use? I would be happy to hear any advice. I Love Earth Clinic. Many, many greeting for everyone. Teresa
Ted, I was trying to buy manganese sulfate and Lugol's Iodine from amazon.com but there are so many to choose and some of Lugol's iodine solution are with 2% and some with 5% so, I am confused which one to choose. In addition, would you please explain how much and for how long to take them because you said to take it for 4 days on and 4 days off does it mean that we only take it one time? I also want to ask everyone including Ted whenever mentioning to take something at least once in each email please, mention how much and for how long to take it as well as the brand of the product you have taken. That eliminates the emails that a lot of people are sending to ask the same question, it doesn't take long to mention it once in every email we send because sometimes we don't see the previous email that was sent with the information. Thank you everyone.
Dear Bill from San Fernando,
I have been taking iodine per your postings. 2 Drops of 2% every night in half glass of water. What is different between Lugols and Nascent Iodine, do you have to take 2 days off or can you take it everyday?
Thanks Bill

Hi Susan... Lugol's has been shown through research to alleviate and correct hypothyroid in dosages between 12.5 mgs and 50 mgs (2 and 8 drops 5% Lugols respectively). If you use the 12.5mg dose, it will take a year before full body iodine sufficiency is attained. If you take the 50 mg dose -- full body iodine sufficiency will be attained in about 3 months. I am not talking just about thyroid sufficiency here -- I'm talking about the whole body's need for iodine.
See this link:
Nascent iodine, to keep it simple, is the electrochemical form of elemental iodine and is the same as Atomidine -- what Edgar Cayce recommended. Certain people have iodine sensitivities and lugols iodine can have harsh effects on the stomach in certain people due to the iodine content. But Nascent Iodine tends to be much kinder and is also a highly bioavailable and tasteless form of iodine/iodide solution. It is, however, more expensive.
See this link for dosages and use of Nascent Iodine:
Also it would be advisable to take Magnesium Gluconate(250 mgs twice a day), Vitamin C(1000 mgs 3 times a day), Selenium(200 mcg twice a day) and zinc(25-50 mgs once a week).
The Selenium and Magnesium aid in certain thyroid enzyme processes to convert and store the iodine in the thyroid and to convert the T4 to the more active T3 thyroid hormone form respectively. Vitamin C has been proven to improve and increase iodine/iodide transport and absorbtion in both the intestines and into the cells and organs. These absorbtion problems are usually caused by excess bromine in the body which is chelated and removed by the Vit C. Zinc helps to improve the immune system and also helps to increase the rate and efficiency of metabolism in the body.
See this link for the most current and up to date research on iodine supplemetation by the Iodine Project:

Chicago, Il
Bill, If I stop taking iodized salt, what si the right amount to takr of Lugols? 3 drops a day as the bottle says? I don't want any complication of taking too much and getting the thyroid overactive. I think a friend did that and got anxious and racing heart. But from what I'm reading here, it seems 2 drops would take a year then I don't have much to worry about? What are the symptoms of too much and how can one alleviate them? Any antidote? Also does painting on the foot help much to get it into the body? I will consider this nascent if Lugol's uspets the stomach too much. Thank you!

Hi Sasha... Up until the Second WW years, and for over a hundred years before this period, lugols iodine was used for a huge number of chronic problems and diseases. Doses of 300 mgs - 2000 mgs or about 50 drops to 300 drops were administered by doctors on a daily basis for chronic forms of emphysema, asthma and bronchitis (iodine has a tendency to accumulate in both the lungs and breasts and its effect is highly protective). Iodine is well known to be anti-pathogenic, anti-mutagenic and anti-cancer as well. And larger dose lugols was a successful treatment because, amongst all its other wonderful healing properties, iodine acts as a safe antihistamine, germ killer, blood purifier etc etc.
I took about 16 drops of lugols (100 mgs) per day for a while just to see what effect this would have on me. It had very little effect on me and so I concluded that because of its safe and long history of use in larger dosages by the medical profession in the past, those that do have problems with iodine now must have other problems with excreting the iodine from the body. This problem is not caused by the iodine -- this is because of other medical problems within that individual.
Foot painting with iodine would probably be useful just to maintain the small thyroid iodine maintenance levels in a fairly healthy body, but would not be sufficient to satisfy the whole body's need for iodine/iodide or enough to help cure such as hypothyroid conditions. The body also needs approximately a 100 times more iodine than the thyroid does -- so you cannot guarantee that even small amounts such as 2 drops will ALL go to the thyroid -- because the body, excluding the thyroid's requirement, needs iodine too in much larger amounts. This is why you must take larger amounts of lugols to get quicker and more satisfactory results.
The absorbtion of iodine by foot-painting, from the research, seems to be very small -- only about 12% of the iodine applied to the skin is ever absorbed into the body. Here is the article and research: http://thyroid.about.com/library/derry/bl2a.htm
Boston, Ma
I know this is not your question but I would replace the iodized table salt with unrefined Sea Salt. Refined salt has lost the other trace minerals and has added anti caking agents that you do not want to take, like Aluminum. Get unrefined sea salt like Celtic or unrefined mined salt Like Real Salt. The Iodine content is low in iodized salt and for the reasons I stated is not a good idea. Get your iodine from kelp (or other sea weed), seafood or supplements like Lugols. You can buy ground and dried sea weed and sprinkle it on food like salt. It has a salty flavor but will not impact BP as much and is a food source of iodine. Available in most health food stores.
As another option, if your stomach is an issue, you can take Lugols sublingually. Place some under your tongue and hold it for a few minutes. I don't know how much you will absorbed but it will be better than 12% as reported in foot painting.

This is super info everyone! I'm going to try the iodine more fearlessly within the constraints of what is recommended here. I am going to try to get more seaweed into my diet. I'll look for some made in US East coast, not sure how all the radiation in Japan will affect things. I bought unrefined sea salt from a coop but it was pure white. I don't think it was truly unrefined but so tricky these days with ignorant or plain out false labeling in the states. Thank you Bill and Jc. I was told there was a link of Bill's typical supplement day, I am going to search through and find that here.
Chicago, Il
Does anyone know the link for Bill's routine use of supplements? I remember seeing it somewhere here. I found an older one here but I know there was an updated post with chanca. There are so many supplements here and I want to narrow them down but not miss any important ones. If someone can post a link of Bill's updated post on how he uses the supplements, please post it here. I've searched pages and pages but can't find it. Thank you very much!

Hi Sasha... My own health routine is quite variable, however I always make sure that I take certain supplements on a regular basis. I tend to use natural more bioavailable ingredients rather than synthetic nutrients, which also tend to be more expensive anyway. And I avoid multi-vitamin tablets because they cannot be gauranteed to be dissolved properly in the intestines and be absorbed into the body, they also contain synthetic nutrients as well as additives and the nutrient amounts contained in the multi-vit pill are usually very inadequate. I therefore regard multi-vits as useless.
Everybody has their own emphasis in regard to their own health regimen. My own emphasis is that, unless you eat food that is entirely organic and grown on healthy soils and you can afford to do this, then you must continually defend yourself against the bad effects of chemically processed foods. Therefore, I never stop defending my body from the effects of modern food now. I live in the Philippines and in the semi-provinces which is fairly primitive. Most of my shopping is done at the big primitive markets here. I eat no canned or processed food. But I have seen many Syngenta and Monsanto test farms in my rural area and I am not fooled, so the food where I live cannot be regarded as organic or pure or safe if you like -- therefore I defend against this and continually use a defensive and preventative approach. Most of the European and American retirees here of my age suffer from heart disease, diabetes or liver disease. This tells me a whole lot about their food diets and their bad habits. I therefore conclude that bad nutritional habits are the hardest thing in the world to change because we so love to eat sweet, acid things, we enjoy big steaks and beer etc. People look to convenience as a way out, popping a bucket full of medical pills daily to cure all their problems whilst still continuing their bad habits!! This is so crazy. I see this everywhere in the Philippines.
I always alkalize as per Ted's remedies -- I use the lemon/lime remedy on most days -- and also use the sodium bicarb and water remedy for the blood.
As my nutrient baseline I use dessicated liver tablets every day. It's not perfect but liver contains all the necessary vitamins, amino acids and minerals. William Kelly and Max Gerson used organic raw liver, but there were still problems with parasites in the raw liver.
I also take organic debittered Brewers Yeast for the CoQ10, the selenium, B vitamins etc. I sometimes vary this by eating 2-4 brazil nuts(raw, unsalted) on a daily basis. Brazil nuts also contain Selenium as well as high amounts of other amino acids such as glutamine, tryptopan and cysteine.
All my cooking is done in virgin coconut oil -- very cheap in the Philippines.
I also take fulvic/humic acid in concentrated ascorbate drops for all my mineral needs. 5-10 drops a day. Fulvic acid also removes pesticides and drug poisons from the body. There are many other numerous benefits to fulvic/humic acid as well as described on this site.
Then I addtionally take nutrients that are always lacking in our diets such as iodine as Lugols Iodine(2-4 drops a day at least as maintenance), Magnesium and Vitamin C(as ascorbate -- no calcium -- 3000 mgs a day -- more if ill). I take the magnesium as Mag Chloride or Mag Malate or Mag Citrate(250 mgs 2 X a day). I take the iodine about once every two days now because my iodine levels are now correct.
The above is my nutrient baseline if you like. Most people, as I see it, will need these nutrients because of the drugs, poisons in our own food, water supply and environment and because of nutrients they lack and the rest below is really my own regimen for my own individual needs.
Other nutrients that I take not on a regular basis are Chanca Piedra ("StoneBreaker") and heart vine (tinospora cordifolia) in a combined home-made decoction (taken on a once-a-month basis for a week only) to get rid of excess calcium, removes aches and pains, anti-inflamatory, highly protective of the liver and kidneys, removes gallstones and kidney stones, strongly anti-viral and can cure Hepatitis B in less than a month. I also drink green tea and eat raw cilantro in salads which, as Ted has advised, helps remove heavy metals and I also regularly take 10% Sodium Thiosulfate(8 drops a day in a glass of water) to remove heavy metals and to remove chlorine from my body. I also take Borax in water regularly to remove the fluorine fom my body and as a mycoplasma preventative.
Another alternative liver-protective protocol I sometimes use is Dr Foster's Triple Anti-oxidant Therapy which consists of taking Selenium (200 mcg twice a day), Alpha Lipoic Acid(300 mgs twice a day) and Milk Thistle (1000 mgs twice a day) on a daily basis. This also promotes Glutatione production in the body -- a protective super anti-oxidant -- and is very beneficial to the kidneys, liver and intestines.
As you have probably noticed, I also tend to favour and emphasize protection of the liver, kidneys and intestines in my own regimen in order to help create a healthier body terrain. This helps to purify the blood in order to deliver nutrients and remove waste to and from the cells and organs respectively in the correct way. And by doing this, the immune system, the excretory system, endocrine system, body organs and many other body parameters are also correctly maintained in a healthier state. This therefore makes all my body defenses stronger against illness and pathogens.
I also eat in a particular way. I hesitate to call it a diet -- this infers that one day you will come off the diet. This way of eating is really an elimination diet which is defined elsewhere on earthclinic but is no less important to your health.
All in all I have to admit that my nutrient regimen, apart from my nutrient baseline, is not a rigid thing. It has become intuitive to me, so that my health regimen is governed more by an awareness of how I'm feeling right now rather than that I must religiously take a certain nutrient routinely forever. To be honest about it, I think this is the best approach but I know this can be confusing to people. But there is rarely such thing as the magic bullet cure-all. The real trick is to educate yourself, validate all information assiduously, trust your own judgement and take responsibilty for your own health. And this is really all about educating yourself and taking your own health very seriously. Despite all that has been said about the hopelessness of allopathic medicies -- it helps to remember this one truth -- that the medical profession is not a performance related or results orientated profession. To illustrate, here are a few quotes from doctors:
"I find medicine is the best of all trades because whether you do any good or not you still get your money." (Moliere: "A Physician in Spite of Himself, " 1664)
"If we doctors threw all our medicines into the sea, it would be that much better for our Patients and that much worse for the Fishes." Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes, MD
The above really represents my own regular protocols. But I also keep Lysine, aspirin, methylene blue, hydrogen peroxide etc in emergency reserve in case of sudden illness or further problems.

Thank you Bill this is a selfless priceless wealth of info! This in a way can sum up the entire website for general health and would make a great sticky for everyone to find easily. Other than, many of the supplements I need to order (and some from abroad) I hope there is no irradiating of my mail, Thank you!
Yikes Bill and Sasha! Thats a lot of things 2 take in your daily routine!
1 Can they all be taken at the same time in the morning or night?
2 You get vitamin D from the sun & omega 3 from fresh fish & u take zinc when sick?
3 What about vitamin A? B? B3? B12? E? Chlorophyll?
4 You don't take molasses bc you're a guy? Molasses helps the woman's problem and grey hair. What helps you keep your hair color? If it isn't cull color maybe consider adding the molasses.
Can't wait to read your answers! Good stuff here! Thanks!!!

This is for "Bill from San Fernando, Philippines" - How do we deal if supplements are irradiated?"
Read this - "If you want vitamins and nutritional supplements that are free of pesticides and have not been irradiated or fumigated, you must test every incoming batch today, as pesticides, irradiation, and fumigation are all widespread. If the company goes outside the United States to source ingredients, you need to know that up to 70% of raw materials coming into the United States today for vitamins and nutritional supplements are irradiated, creating toxic radiation byproducts. " Are we doomed if we can't grow organic products in good quality soils? -WORRIED
Dessicated Liver has A, B's, C, D, E and is said to be superior to Chlorophyll (body can break down the proteins meat source better than plant source). It has lots of minerals and amino acids. Bill takes the DL with meals. Alkalizing is done on an empty stomach. Bill will have to let you know if its ok to mix the other things with the alkalizing.
San Fernando, Philippines
Hi Wendy... The simple answer to your question about dealing with irradiated herbs is that you can't really deal with it because there is now a European-wide law -- Codex Alimentaruis -- that says that all herbal, mineral and vitamin alternative and nutritional health products in Europe are to be managed completely by the the allopathic medical fraternity in terms of their safety, dosages etc. But make no mistake, this is just an excuse for the big pharmaceuticals to wipe-out their main alternative medicine competition in Europe by discreetly adding unhelpful additives, irradiating, thus ruining herb quality and minimizing the RDA to useless and ineffective dosages. America will probably follow suit soon.
Here's another trick Codex is playing that you should also be aware of -- I bought some European Magnesium Malate recently all packaged nicely in capsule form. Capsules should contain pure loose powder and when I squeeze tested the capsule -- it was indeed powder -- and each capsule contained 400 mgs of Magnesium and 200 mgs of Malic Acid. However, the capsule itself was very large -- at least 1000 mgs. So what was the other unknown 400 mgs? Then I read the additives on the label: Stearic Acid. This substance is only ever used to help form tablets. So did my capsule also contain 400 mgs of Stearic Acid which I don't want?
The only real alternative you have is to either buy your herbs from sources outside Europe on the internet from gauranteed organic herbal distributors like Raintree Nutrition which might be quite expensive or to simply grow them yourself if you can.
In the Philippines I'm very lucky, I grow and prepare all sorts of herbs in the simplest ways and I know they are natural and organic because I grow them in my own small garden. And I've always found my own herbs to be very effective and useful. I tend not to use dried store bought herbs very much now.
Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France
Hi Bill, I hope you are well..... Great that you can grow your own herbs, I try to do that as well but I am a beginner! How do you do to dry them? I haven't tried yet because I am afraid of doing it badly and therefore get fungus and other stuff which wouldn't be very good for the health. We are going to move to the countryside in a while and we intend to have a nice vegetable /herb garden there. But even here, countryside surrounded by the developed world we already manage to grow a few things.
On a different level here is a question I posted a little while ago but which I don't think you saw: I am now getting into the Anti-Candida diet in order to try to cure my dry eyes and mouth (especially during the night, it is a nightmare and I don't have Sjogren's). You seem to feel that molasses is not a problem but it is sugar..... I would like to take it to try to contain my grey hair but if it is not good in the fight against Candida I won't do it. Right now my priority are my eyes and my mouth! The problem with the diet is that there are so many different opinions. Could you maybe send me a link to your diet advice? I am basing myself in a book called Beat Candida through diet.

For Bill of San Fernando, Philippines. Is there Lugols solution, Fulvic/Humic acid in ascorbate drops, disscated liver that I can buy in the Philippines. What do you call the herbs in Tagalog that you planted. I go home to the Philippines every year for 4 months. Just wondering if I should buy these things here. Thank you.

Hi Lorna... The herbs that I use that grow in the Philippines are:
English names____________________Tagalog names
Chanca Piedra(Phylanthus niruri).......Sampa-sampalukan
Heart Vine(Tinospora cordifolia)........Makabuhay
Tumeric root.................................. Luyang dilaw
Neem leaves(Azadirachta indica).......Nim
Bashful Mimosa(Mimosa pudica)....... Makahiya
These are some of my favourite herbs that I use in the Philippines. And what's more they are all free -- they grow profusely everywhere in the Philippine lowlands. I use Chanca piedra, Heart Vine, Tumeric and Neem leaves usually about once every month to detox the blood. These herbs are hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, hypotensive, mildly diuretic, detoxing, anti-viral, ant-bacterial, ant-fungal and essentially they act to help protect the intestines, liver and kidneys. When this is assured then you will have pure and healthy blood. My way is always preventative -- continually protect and detox the nutritional and excretory pathways in the body and this will contribute greatly towards your own health. Then all you have to worry about is correct diet -- but that's a whole different story!!
You can also find many of these herbs near the old church at Quiapao Market in Quezon City. These herbs are also very easy to grow in your garden.

Hi Lorna... I forgot to answer your other questions.
You can buy Quantumin Plus Fulvic/Humic drops in the Philippines. This is fairly cheap -- I can buy the 35 ml bottle for about 400 pesos now from a private seller in Maharlika Market in Baguio -- and this costs considerably less than similar drops made in America.
These Quantumin drops consist of a Fulvic/Humic/Zeolite mix in alkaline solution which also contains all the major electrolyte minerals for the body. Unfortunately Quantumin is only sold in the Philippines and is normally sold from small private enterprises and not from the malls. So just get a friend in the Philippines to find a franchise seller in your area before you come to the Philippines.
Dessicated liver can be easily bought at Healthy Options store outlets in all the major SM Malls like Megamall or Asia Mall in Manila. Dessicated Liver is also widely sold at muscle weight training shops in America and is fairly cheap.
I have used iodine to check my thyroid and also clear iodine for toenail fungus. My Naturopath suggested that I use the brown iodine and put a half dollar size circle on my abdomen every morning as long as it disappeared and the first morning it remained visible, stop the treatment. I do this every six months to keep my thyroid healthy.
Hi Earthclinic peoples,
I have been reading for hours about the benefits of Lugol's Iodine and feel I could really benefit (lost half my thyroid a year ago). I have been unable to find the product called Lugols Iodine for internal use here in my chemist/pharmacy or health food stores (western suburbs of Sydney, Australia). I can only find it online, however I would really prefer not to purchase online. I have found a product on the shelf in the chemist and I wont give the brand name unless Earthclinic will allow it, but I think it may just be the same as Lugol's. The details on the bottle are as follows:
'Aqueous Iodine Solution APF' -
Contains: Iodine 5% w/v
Potassium Iodide 10% w/v
Pharmaceutical Raw Material
Net 100mL
It also has at the top of the bottle POISON - keep out of reach of children and the usual First Aid information down the right hand side of the bottle.
Could this be the same as Lugol's??? and Could it be taken like Lugols? I know I can skin paint with it but can I put it in water and drink?
Would appreciate any information.
Thanking you and earthclinic

Hi Missm... A 5% Aqueous Solution of Iodine(ASI) simply means a solution of iodine and iodide in water and may be regarded as equivalent to 5% Lugols Iodine. The reason for this difference is that ASI is the British naming equivalent or standard for Lugol's Iodine and obviously Australia, being part of the British Commonwelth, has adopted the same naming standards as UK. Don't ask me why the British do this(I'm a Brit) as it leads to alot of confusion. When I bought my own current stock of lugol's iodine in Thailand, this was also called an Aqueous Solution of Iodine. Notably, on my own Thai bottles of aqueous iodine, there is no reference at all to iodine being a poison.
As regards putting POISON on a bottle of ASI or Lugol's bought in Australia, I am somewhat amused by this. If you check the Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) for Lugol's Iodine then you will see that the oral LD50(Lethal Median Dose) is 14000 mgs/kgm for a rat. The MSDS and LD50(oral, rat) for ordinary table salt is 3000 mgs/kgm. This simply means that ordinary table salt is over 4 times more toxic than lugol's iodine. The MSDS is the biochemist's bible on toxicity and handling for any drug or chemical.
As far as I am concerned, Lugol's Iodine is very body friendly. As an experiment, I took between 50 mgs and 100 mgs of lugols orally(that's 400 to 800 times more than the RDA for iodine) for a couple of weeks just to see what would happen. I had no terrible effects. If you have healthy kidneys then there will not be any ill effects from doing this.
Here is an article on the reasons why people fear iodine -- referred to as Iodophobia in this article. This research article explains why people have so much fear about taking Lugol's iodine orally. It's all about propaganda from the drugs companies because lugol's iodine was "too cheap, useful and successful" and intererred with their drugs sales. So they simply created fear of iodine or iodophobia to eliminate the iodine competition.
Here is the most current research on Lugol's Iodine and correct dosages by The Iodine Project. The current RDA for iodine is about 125 MICROgrams per day. The Iodine Project recommends a maintenance dose of at least 12.5 MILLIgrams per day(2 drops of 5% lugol's iodine) -- which is 100 times more than the RDA. Women generally need higher doses of iodine than men because women's iodine requirements for their breasts and sexual organs are far greater.

Hey Bev, Interesting enough that I just read your post and that you found the iodine at an aquarium shop. I was in a pet store last week buying anti algae med and low and behold there was a bottle of iodine sitting there on the shelf! Didn't have time to look at it closely but I did wonder if it was equiv to the Lugol's brand. Is what you have equiv?

Hi Bill - The Lugol's Solution (5%) I have here in Canada also has a POISON label, plus the skull and crossbones and what to do for an antidote. When I bought it at London Drugs, the pharmacist told me not to ingest it. Yeah, right... I take two drops daily in juice or water. Thanks for the explanation!

Hello, I purchased a bottle of Lugol's Solution Aqueous Iodine Oral Solution. It is made by in West Africa. It does not state the percentage but it gives the following information.
50ml = Total Quantity.
Total iodine per ml = 130mg
Dose: 0.1 to 0.3 ml three times daily.
Directions: the recommended dose should be diluted well with 150ml water or milk.
Can someone please advise me on what the percentage is and if the dose above is correct. Thank you for a great site and all the wonderful advice.

Hi Carl... The Iodine that you have is quite a high strength form.
1 ml contains 130 mgs
Therefore 1000ml(or 1 litre) will contain 130 X 1000 mgs or 130, 000 mgs = 130 grams
So 1 litre of your iodine solution contains 130 grams of iodine.
Iodine % Strength Calculation:
So your bottle is 13% lugols iodine strength.
Therefore the dosage per drop(from a dropper) of your lugols solution will be approximately equal to 16.25 mgs per drop of solution. See this link for strength to drop conversions.
As an example -- to achieve a 50 mgs daily dose of your iodine, you would only need approx 3 drops of your solution per day(3 X 16. 25 = 48. 75 mgs). I would simply take one drop of your lugols in a glass of water, spread out at different times, 3 times a day.
If the above single drop strength is too strong or harsh for you, then just dilute your iodine solution with an equal volume or amount of distilled water as the iodine solution and this will halve the strength to approx 6.5 % strength which is equivalent to about 8 mgs of iodine per drop which would certainly be less harsh and more manageable for you.

Hi Bill, thank you very much for the feed back. I should have waited a bit. I used the dropper supplied and filled it to the 0.3 ml which is in fact quite a few drops. I used it yesterday three times. I will follow your advise and go to the one drop three times a day.
I am amased at the disinformation that has been around for so long. http://www.optimox.com/pics/Iodine/IOD-04/IOD_04.html I can see a law suit coming the same as what happened to the tobacco companies maybe?
I have a 7 year old daughter and a 4 year old boy. I can not honestly say that there is any thing wrong with them behaviourly or other wise. I would like to supplement them with iodine though as a preventive. Can you please advise a dosage. Our daughter has ocasional tonsil stones. I asked her yesterday to gargle with a two drop solution in about 100ml drinking water. This morning two pieces came out. She garled again and a large piece came out. She is a very happy little one now. Maybe the Iodine kills of the bacteria that makes the stones stick (Holding on)to the tonsils?
Thanks again and any advise will be highly valued.
Peace to all. Carl

Hi Carl... Your children should be able to supplement iodine safely. Apart from iodine's many beneficial and protective effects, there is also a large body of research evidence which shows and efectively proves that children who supplement daily doses of iodine are able to improve their IQ and intelligence. See these links:
Some more research to help you:
For children, one of the best forms of iodine to supplement is Nascent Iodine because it is tasteless and so easy to take. Nascent Iodine is also very safe and will not cause stomach upsets at larger dose becsause it is just in the triiodide form. This form is the most body-friendly and is the most bioavailable form for the body. Lugol's contains potassium iodide, molecular iodine and the triiodide form. The molecular iodine content is what can cause nausea and other stomach problems for some people at higher dosage. And although triiodide is highly useful it is not as useful as the lugol's form because, for instance, nascent iodine will not be able to chelate and remove heavy metals from the body like lugol's iodine can and this is because lugols contains all three forms of iodine -- potassium iodide, molecular iodine and triiodide whereas nascent iodine only contains the triiodide form.
Normally a maintanence dose for lugol's iodine of 12. 5 mgs is given for an adult weighing 150 lbs. So if you child weighs say 40 lbs then the dosage for the child should be 40/150 X 12. 5 = 3. 33 mgs per day.
Dr Guy Abraham from the Iodine Project has spent much effort in completely disproving the iodophobia caused by the Wolf-Chaikoff Report(1948), which so wrongly concluded that supplementing daily with more than 2 mgs of iodine was bad for the thyroid and therefore poisonous to humans. The W-C Report was a particularly poor piece of biased research done on rats. This research, that all modern doctors ultimately believe to be true and proven, was never ever confirmed on human subjects. This is also a very good example of what I call "steered" or "spoiler" research.
Much of Dr Abraham's effort has been spent just confirming lugol iodine's long and wide historic use in medicine, at higher dosages, before WW2. The doctor's of this pre-war period even said that if they didn't know what was wrong with their patient, they would just recommend higher dose iodine and, whatever it did, it would do something good. Dr Abraham's and his team also demographically researched iodine wrt diet and disease -- and they found that the Japanese, who are an extremely healthy population, ate large amounts of kelp and seaweed which contains high amounts of iodine. This is the reason why the Japanese have such low rates of lung, prostate, breast and uterine cancer.
The post WW2 period was when the drugs companies eventually came into their own and, I believe, was the time when they started to switch from using natural cure methods -- such as iodine or natural thyroid to resolve medical problems -- to only producing and using their synthetic drugs that had to have a product patent. The only possible acceptable motive for the drugs companies switching direction in this way can only be for greater profit reasons. This is also further illustrated in modern times by how much control and power the drugs companies have gained over the law itself -- a very good example here is Codex Alimentarius. CA enabled the drugs companies to gain complete control over the laws and standards for producing herbs and nutrients used for nutritional and alternative medical purposes. So not only will herbs, minerals and vitamins now be produced chemically with unneccesary fillers and additves but they will also be sold at higher prices and at insignificant and ineffective RDA dosages as well. This law is truly a game changer for our health because it effectively banishes the alternative medicine opposition at one stroke such that the field has now become completely clear for the drugs companies to do whatever they like in making us believe that they are the only medical experts for our ailments.
In America, the drugs companies have remarkable power over the law now. A certain US Texas Governor, who also ran for the Republican nomination, passed a state law recently making it compulsory and mandatory for all teenager girls in Texas to have gardasil vaccinations against HPV. The awful offence here is that all personal choice has been completely ignored, eliminated and removed and simple, corrupt dictatorship has been allowed to creep in -- via the vast and corrupting state government influence from the drugs cartels. So, if this sort of dictatorship is allowed now then it is only a easy short hop until the federal government further gives less and less medical choice to its citizens.
As far as I am able to ascertain, the recent poor response to the H1N1 outbreak and Obamacare are further examples of this spreading medical dictatorship, which is so safely protected by American law as well as International law now. But these responses and government policies, which really rely on easy but corrupt dictatorship with no choices whatsoever, have done very little to improve the life of American citizens and only ever seem to work to further increase the power and the vast profits of the drugs companies.

Hi Carl... It really doesn't surprise me at all that iodine gargling by your young daughter dislodged the tonsil stones. These tonsil stones will be infested with bacteria and perhaps even yeast or fungus. Iodine kills most pathogens in about 30 seconds. Perhaps more important -- iodine also acts to dislodge and prevent attachement of pathogens to host cell sites (like tonsils). Iodine is also useful for dislodging biofilms containing large colonies of pathogens. Another little known characteristic of supplementing iodine in higher dose is that it acts as a safe anti-histamine -- preventing both pain and inflammation in the body. And I've just read another piece of interesting research that confirms that supplementing smaller amounts of iodine with food helps to prevent food sensitivity reactions and allergic reaction because when the iodine coats the offending allergy-causing protein, it prevents or greatly reduces the allergic histamine-producing reaction.
I am still continuously surprised and astonished at iodine's potential health benefits and I am convinced that there is still much to be discovered on the benefits of iodine.

I took my first dose of Lugol's Iodine 2% this morning. 4 drops is a glass of water while eating breakfast. Immediate head rush, nausea and dizziness. It's been over an hour now and it's still going on along with diarrhea. Is this normal? I've read many of the posts and I don't see anyone else having this happen. Your feedback would be so appreciated.
Motown, Ca/ Usa
My opinion differs from others' on this point. Following Fukushema in Japan, I dilligently and extensively searched for how to protect my family from radiation, and to guard the thymus gland with iodine/ iodide. I began taking the iodine internally, but had read that it was not good to take internally, as could stop up the flow of urine. Well, quite soon, this happened, that I could not pee. So I stopped! I then began to do it only through my skin, the largest organ of the body. I do this every day, as described in another post, about five drops per day rubbed into my leg, where the body only absorbs what it truly needs of this neccesary nutrient. This has caused me no problems at all, however, one should be certain of not having an iodine allergy, first. If you have used iodized salt in the past-- standard "Mortons iodized salt" of years gone by-- one should be fine. Hope that helps!
P.S. (If you get strong reactions with anything you are trying yourself, listen to your body, and your own "knowing. " Likely, you are starting too fast, generally, and ought to back down, or possibly ought to question what you are doing, alltogether. Always, better to be safe than sorry. Practice what the medical field so often does not, that being, "First do no harm. " You are party to "The Great Physician. " Listen. ) --T.

Dear Ted or Earth Clinic,
I have the Atomidine and would like to know if it is considered a good iodine to take? The makers say it is exactly as Cayce subscribed many times. But some competitors on the net have said never to put it in your body so I quit taking it and haven't been taking anything. Please give me your thought on it for thyroid issues as well as for radiation.
Thank you very much! I appreciate this site to no end and Blessings to All. Juliana
I've read somewhere that Lugols Iodine was found serendipitously to reduce blood glucose levels. Comments please & thanks
I was on your page http://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/iodine.html and am confused about two apparently contradicting items: In the paragraph "Dietary sources" it states that soybeans are a good source of this mineral. In the following paragraph, "FOODS THAT PREVENT THE BODY FROM UTILIZING IODINE" it cites soybeans in this list also. Can you explain why this might be please? For instance, if different types of processing results in different characteristics etc.
This is a great site. And I was surprised not to find any info. on iodine. It's an important member of halide group on the periodic table along with fluoride, bromide and chloride.
According to the research of Guy Abraham, M.D. and David Brownstein, M.D., iodine augments the excretion of fluoride, bromide, and I believe chloride. In effect it may be one of the more promising treatments for chronic fluoride toxicity.
I'd love to hear if you have heard of any feedback from those pursuing iodine therapy. I've just begun following the Iodine Group on Yahoo, their members seem to be helped by it. Iodine may, in part, hold the therapeutic potential many seek(?)
Best in Health,
EC: Hi Gnomen2,
You must have been looking in the wrong area.. we many pages of iodine feedback in the remedies section!
Lugol's or Potassium Iodide
Could anyone out there provide me the information I need about the iodine therapy? Which is better to take? Lugol's, Liquid Kelp, or SSKI? I would appreciate your knowledge on this subject. Also would this help with acid reflux?
Thanks, Carolyn
Lennon, Michigan
Lugols because it contains Iodine and Iodide..... SSKI is just Iodide no iodine. Many people do not get very good results with just one form of iodine. The iodide is almost idiot proof and that is why so many go with that but if you follow the directions for Lugols from various sources it is hard to go wrong! Too few people understand basic chemistry or physiology of the body ie chemistry of the body.... SO they make contradictory statements and get things all mixed up. Their are a few people with Hishymoto's(sp) Disease that can not tolerate Iodine at all but seem to do ok with Iodide. It is stupid to make fearful statements based on a small subset that represents. 000000001% of the earths population..... THey do this with sodium intake as well.... SOmething like 1 out of 1000 people with hypertension have sodium sensitive hypertension so why make the other 999 people give up salt if it is not going to improve their condition or hurt them? I know most salt is processedin amanner not good for us but that is another issue and not the salts falt. Healthy forms of sodium are very good for you. My point is their are a lot of half truths floating around the medical field and internet. I actually ignore anyone that starts out a post with Caution or Warning because they are fear mongers and I have no time for fear. No decision should ever be based or made from a point of fear!
Hello Deirdre, Thought you might like to read that Linus Pauling agrees with Dr. Jonathan Wright on iodine & fibrocystic breast disease. Guess it would work the same with fibroids of the uterus or elsewhere one might form a fibroid.
I have been researching iodine deficiency in depth for a couple of years. I am very interested in this as it seems to be connected with electrosensitivity and multiple chemical sensitivity both of which I have. I am certain now that iodine is of great importance to health and would love to discuss this further.

AMES, Iowa – Take some time to visit the 4-H Camera Corps' exhibition, "Rural Iowa Architecture." Fifty photos of rural Iowa architecture taken by 4-H boys and girls are on display at the St. Mark Lutheran Church gallery in West Des Moines.
The free exhibit is on display at the St. Mark gallery Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Nov. 8.
Photographer Tim Florer, Cumming, Iowa, led the group of 68 Camera Corps participants. The young photographers are 4-H members in grades four through 12 from Iowa, Kansas and Arkansas.
"Usually, we see 4-H photos in a mass at the Iowa State Fair," said Mitchell Hoyer, 4-H youth development program specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. "We did something different this year with Tim's connections with the gallery. We were trying to expose the youth to a different part of the photography world."
Thirty-six students' photos are featured in the exhibit. Matthew Blink, of Marshall County, received the Director's Choice Award; Abigail Parker, of Wright County, received the Media Choice Award; and Jacob Henderson, of Muscatine County, received the People's Choice Award. Each winner received a special ribbon to display with his or her photo and a T3 Canon camera provided by Canon and the H.B. Leiserowitz Co., Des Moines.
"Photography is one of the largest project areas in 4-H in Iowa," Hoyer said. "We're trying to extend students' photography skills and challenge them to take photos of unique subjects through the Camera Corps."
About Iowa 4-H Camera Corps
The Iowa 4-H Camera Corps was founded in 2004. Nationwide Agribusiness, with assistance from photographer Tim Florer, sponsors the 4-H Camera Corps project to give interested 4-H members a way to expand their photography skills. Through the "Rural Iowa Architecture" project, it is hoped 4-H'ers develop great photos and learn about the history of architecture in rural Iowa.

Except for Vettel
RBR need to have a bit of forward thinking - actions like this aren't helping Vettel's reputation, which while obviously not as important as pursuing the WDC, needs to at least be considered by his employers. As has been intimated by others, by employing team orders when only 3 points were in question, or to prevent the chances of a crash, this only puts into question Vettel's achievements when they shouldn't be. It's highly unlikely Webber will catch Vettel, but by doing this, they are giving fuel to those who say that Vettel is only winning because he has the team behind him at the expense of his team mate. One of the main criticisms of Schumacher's all time standing, whether you agree with them or not, is that he had Ferrari fully behind him (and not his team mate), and this is in danger of being repeated here.

1998 Pontiac Firebird Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1998 Pontiac Firebird based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
The fuel injectors may short out electricity causing a rougher than normal idle.
The transmission may develop a harsh 1-2 shift and/or illumination of the Check Engine Light with code P1870 stored. This can be caused by wear of the bore for the TCC isolator and regulator valves in the valve body. This condition does not commonly occur until the transmission reaches normal operating temperature. If the valve body is worn, replacement will be necessary to correct this concern.
One or both secondary air injection check valves may become restricted causing poor air flow resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light. It is often recommend to replace both check valves even if a fault code is set for only one bank of cylinders. Replacing only one valve may result in a return trip to the repair shop.
Brake fluid can become dirty and may cause problems in the brake system; it should be flushed every 60,000 miles.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. The engine may overheat as a result of the coolant loss. A leaking water pump should be replaced.
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
You may be able to prevent transmission problems by servicing the transmission and inspecting the fluid every 30,000 miles. If the fluid is dark or burned, the transmission system should be completely flushed.
The roller on the window guide attached to the bottom of the window glass may break off and cause the window to come off track.
The windows on the 1984-2002 Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am commonly lean in towards the cabin when they are rolled down, and a metal-on-glass rattle is heard with any vibration. As the problem advances, popping may be heard from the door as the window rolls up or down.
This issue is caused by failing window regulator rivets which no longer hold the window upright. This places undue strain on pads that prevent the window from contacting the metal door frame. After a short time, the pads inside the door wear out, allowing the window to rattle and become scratched in a vertical pattern.
To correct the rattling and popping noises, the window regulator rivets and pads must be replaced.
The spark plugs should be replaced every 100,000 miles. Our technicians recommend replacing the spark plug wires also at this time.
The head light door actuators may fail causing the head lights to become stuck in the raised or lowered position.
Failure of the rear transmission mounts is common.

text: To the extent any forward-looking statements are made in this call, such statements are made only as of today's date, and we do not assume any obligation to update any such statements.Fred Lampropoulos We are excited to talk to you about our second quarter. We hope we have explained as clearly as we can the data that's in here but we are going to drill down and I think provide you with some data that will help you – we hope to appreciate what we think was a terrific quarter. Let me just go through a few of the numbers. As you can all see the revenues, we are $74.9 million, 16%. Of note is that our core growth for the second quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2009 was up 13%. Nevertheless I think we would all agree and I hope you would agree that 16% is an extraordinary quarter in terms of growth. As we look at the earnings for the quarter, we were at $0.20 per share but it's important that I think point out that that number is net of $697,000 of expenses which were onetime and were related to the proposed acquisition of BioSphere. Additionally there were some additional charges and expenses that we will talk about that we think enhanced the overall performance for the business. Just as a teaser, as part of that, in the month of June, the company operated at 44.8% gross margins and had an operating profit of 15.4%. Now I will come back in a minute and talk about June because I know we are here to talk about the quarter but we want to talk about what we think is an acceleration in the business going forward and the opportunities. You will note that in terms of gross margins, they were 43.3%, that was a sequential improvement of $110 basis points. I would like to also point out that from the fourth quarter, it was an improvement of 280 basis points and it was up 60 basis points from the third quarter of last year.

Stag trip high jinx on Ibiza
Times Online's Deputy Travel Editor booked one of the best villas on Ibiza to celebrate his best mate's impending big day, but not all went according to plan
As more and more people wait until their thirties to get married, stag dos are getting more adventurous and a whole lot more expensive.
Legions of wealthy city boys are spurning London strip clubs and jetting off around the world to exotic locations and scaring the locals.
With the glut of cheap flights making it cheaper to get to Prague than the closest tacky seaside resort, your Easyjets and Ryanairs are filling with noisy, irritating groups of half-drunk high-spirited girls or boys who you wished were confined to Blackpool.
Our attempt at emulating other thirty-somethings was perfectly planned. My best mate Steve proposed to his long-term girlfriend and they planned to marry a year later in December, 2007.
So we booked a top end Ibizan…

Olson's Blast Gives Ports 9-7 Win
By Stockton Ports | May 16, 2014 10:35 PM ET
STOCKTON, Calif. - The Stockton Ports didn't lead the Bakersfield Blaze until there were two outs in the eighth inning on Friday night at Banner Island Ballpark. Matt Olson broke a 7-7 tie in the eighth with his league-leading 10th home run of the season as the Boys of Banner Island rallied past the Blaze and took the first game of a four-game set by a final of 9-7.
Bakersfield broke the ice in the first on a solo homer by Jesse Winker off Ports starter Tim Atherton. The Ports tied it in the second inning on a two-out RBI single from Dusty Robinson, scoring Renato Nunez who'd doubled to open the frame.
The Blaze had a pair of three-run innings in the contest, the first being the third. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Seth Mejias-Brean hit a grounder to shortstop. Daniel Robertson flipped to Chad Pinder for a force-out at second base, but Pinder dropped the ball. No out was recorded and two runs scored on the play, giving the Blaze a 3-1 lead. Bakersfield added a third run on a two-out RBI single by Marquez Smith to make it a 4-1 game.
Bakersfield widened its lead in the fifth as Atherton walked Winker with one out and then was lifted for Nolan Sanburn. Sanburn went on to walk a batter and then surrender a two-out RBI single to Smith that gave Bakersfield a 5-1 edge.
Atherton went 4.1 innings and allowed five runs (three earned) on four hits while walking three and striking out two while receiving a no-decision.
The Ports also had a pair of three-run innings, the first of those being the fifth. Aaron Shipman led off with a triple to right-center and scored on an ensuing home run hit by Robertson that cut the Ports deficit to 5-3. Three batters later Pinder stepped up and homered to right to make it a 5-4 contest.
Blaze starter Drew Cisco also received a no-decision, going six innings and allowing four runs on nine hits while striking out four.
Sanburn started the sixth inning and walked David Vidal. John Tolisano followed with a two-run homer to right to increase the Bakersfield lead to 7-4. Sanburn pitched 1.2 innings and allowed two runs on four hits while walking two and striking out two.
Lane Somsen came on to pitch the seventh for the Blaze and with one out, gave up a single to Olson, walked Nunez and gave up an RBI double to Pinder that brought the Ports to within two runs at 7-5. Somsen was then lifted for Sean Lucas (0-1), who gave up an RBI single to Bruce Maxwell and then a sac-fly to Robinson that tied the game at 7-7. All three runs in the inning were charged to Somsen who pitch a third of an inning.
Lucas started the eighth for the Blaze and with a runner aboard and two outs, gave up a two-run homer to right to Olson that gave the Ports a 9-7 lead. Lucas suffered the loss, going an inning-and-a-third and allowing two runs on four hits.
Michael Ynoa (2-1), who pitched two scoreless innings for Stockton, picked up the win in the contest. Austin House (SV, 4) came on in the ninth and pitched around a two-out double to record his fourth save of the season.
The Ports and Blaze play the second game of their four-game series on Saturday night at Banner Island Ballpark. Manny Correa (2-3, 5.25 ERA) makes the start for Stockton, opposed by Blaze right-hander Mike Dennhardt (1-2, 4.67 ERA). First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. PDT.

When I was studying for my Masters in Theology, I took some Patristics courses… the early church and apostolic fathers. It was fascinating studying the martyrs like Polycarp, Ignatius and Justin Martyr because they wanted to be martyred. It was such an honor, such a sacrifice, such a guarantee of eternal reward, that they seemed to do anything in their power to get killed for their faith. They took as their examples Jesus who did not open his mouth to defend himself, thereby cementing his e … [Read more...]

* Solar market remains a driving force of growth
* Diversity of markets putting industry on growth track
By Chris Kelly
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif., Feb 28 (Reuters) - The North American galvanizing industry looks poised to grow by 2 to 3 percent in 2012, as it extends its recovery from 2008's global financial crisis, executives said at the International Zinc Association's 2012 conference.
Building on a relatively strong performance in 2011, where total production of galvanized products in North America grew by an estimated 13 percent, the industry's outlook continued to brighten, with the help of some key markets, particularly solar, they said.
From the posts and outside frames of solar panels to the transmission lines needed to connect newer solar and wind fields to the electrical grid, the alternative energy market has and will continue to offer "significant tonnage" for virtually every galvanizer, keeping the industry on a positive growth track this year, said Tim Pendley, senior vice president and chief operating officer with AZZ Inc.
"I anticipate an overall growth rate of 2 to 3 percent in the coming year. The solar market was and remains the driving force for growth in 2011, and is projected to remain a significant player through 2016," he said.
Pendley estimated that nearly 4 percent of the 2011 galvanized steel products went into the solar market.
In the aftermath of 2008's global economic downturn -- considered to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s -- the North American galvanizing industry was hit hard, dropping 15 percent in 2009 and 5 percent in 2010.
Phillip Rahrig, executive director of the American Galvanizers Association, said 2012 has already gotten off to a promising start.
"Galvanizers have come out of the shoot very strong. Guys are very bullish for this year ... because 2011 was a relatively good year in pretty much horrible economic condition," he said.
"Most companies have a lot of cash, but the question is whether they are going to spend it here in North America or spend it elsewhere.
"A lot of it has to do with whether they see the U.S. economy growing faster than other countries around the world," he said.
A recent stream of generally upbeat data has shown that the U.S. economy is beginning to show some signs of life.
A pickup in manufacturing activity in January, coupled with better-than-expected employment and housing numbers all point to a healthier economic condition this year.
The U.S. economy grew at a 2.8 percent annual pace in the last three months of 2011, its fastest rate since the spring of 2010.
About 30 percent of zinc consumption in North America is used for galvanizing, a process in which fabricated and structural steel, castings, or small parts are immersed in molten zinc, resulting in a metallurgically bonded alloy coating that protects the steel from corrosion.
Aside from the alternative energy markets, demand from some traditional markets like original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and bridge and highway has offered very good growth opportunities for the industry, Pendley said.
"The bridge and highway market is one of the bright spots. Over the next 5 to 10 years, I anticipate that this market will grow to 15 to 20 percent of consumption," he said.
The agricultural market is an up-and-coming market that will likely be another growth story, he said.
"With the decline of the family farm, we are seeing that corporate farming is recognizing the loss of capital caused by corrosion, and we are seeing an increase in inquiries as to the lowest cost of ownership," he said.
"I estimate this market will have significant opportunity for us," he said.
Nearly four years removed from 2008's economic problems, the outlook for the U.S. economy in 2012 is looking better.
The U.S. Federal Reserve estimated 2012 economic growth of roughly 2.5 percent, in line with the growth estimates for the North American galvanizing industry.
"Hot Dip Galvanizing is a GDP-driven industry," Pendley said.
"We have suffered through economic turmoil in the past several years, and although we have not returned to the high-water mark in 2007, the diversity of markets that we serve has minimized the negative impact and has put the galvanized industry back into a growth mode."

Basic and Non-Negotiable Considerations in Choosing a Pest Control Company
Pests are a problem to humans because they damage and destroy properties. The good news is that there are a good number of pest treatments and pest control methods provided by companies today. These promise to stop pest invasion in a specific property and make pests gone forever. Despite of this, however, there are some things that you need to take into consideration when selecting between different pest control companies. In the course of time, you would realize that one company can always be better than the rest on the basis of the following factors.
Eco-Friendly Product
If pest control products are harmful and deadly for pests such as rats, rodents, cockroaches, termites and others, they can be dangerous to humans as well, not to mention the environment which can be directly affected by all these. For this reason, you need to look for a company that makes use of eco-friendly methods in treating pest invasion, one that uses environment-safe products. But choosing a company like this must be done with care and can take some time. Be sure to do your research online and ask for recommendations from people whom you think are experienced enough to give you some sort of advices. To read more about pest control, you can visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pest_control.
Effective Treatment
Pest control treatments are not available for free. In exchange for the service of Dead Pestz, you always have to pay the company back with the price you and them have agreed at the first. Considering how substantial can be to get a pest treatment service, it is but reasonable for you to be a little more careful when selecting a company. Always be sure that you are dealing with a service provider that is known to be reliable. Do not risk your money to a company that is merely a novice. Be sure to get the service that can work effectively on your problem.
Affordable Service
Companies may differ from each other not only in terms of the number of options they provide and the quality of treatments they offer. They could also be distinguished from one another depending on how affordable or expensive their services are. If you are a business owner or a homeowner, for sure price is a big matter to you. Do not think that price is not a consideration here. You can always find a company that offers a good service at a reliable price if you are going to be diligent enough in your search.

yates_dan1542090wrote a review of Patagonia Footwear Ranger Smith Waterproof Mid Boot - Men's on January 2, 2010
Light, strong, and versatile
I bought these because I work outside as a tree doctor/estimator for tree work in all kinds of conditions and properties, in all four seasons in Pennsylvania (I'm also a backcountry explorer, rock climber, backpacker, and general outdoor nut). I needed boots that fit our company's professional image but still performed like a rugged wilderness hiking boot. I couldn't be more pleased with their performance and styling - I've used them in 18" of snow, 3" slush, 1" per hour rain, ice covered pavement, 15 degree F mornings, rough rocky trails for miles, and long no-trail approaches to remote bouldering areas. They are warm, surprisingly lightweight (compared to my all-star Montrail Torre GTX's - about 1/2 the weight), very dry, and took almost no time to break in to be comfortable all day long. I've received numerous compliments from my co-workers (highly unusual), and I've even worn them with a shirt, tie, and sportcoat when I took my wife out to dinner on New Year's Eve in freezing rain. I'm already planning to buy a second pair. I already owned a pair of Patagonia Huckleberry approach shoes, size 9.5, and sized these boots the same. The boots have stretched just a little bit, but not enough to make me wish I'd sized down. I highly recommend these for anyone.

From what I can read of your message (assuming I'm not

interface in that case, ie entirey internal to the firewall. I don't
know if it can be done, but I do know it would be pretty pointless -
nobody is likely to be logged in on the firewall and snooping what is
going on inside it. :)
The traffic that needs encrypting is the traffic going over the
airwaves from the wireless access point to the wireless device that is
communicating with it.

Scorah Pattullo Victoria Woven Sandal
My note: cutest color EVER. "These bubblegum hued sandals add an instant pop to any outfit."
The perfect shade of rose petal pink.
I'm all about pink and these shoes are so rock-and-roll meets girlie glam! I have to have them!!
Leather sandal with shield at upper and satin ribbon at ankle. The shoes also come with silver ribbon if you get bored of the black.
Pink pumps that have a strap across the foot with silver studs on it.
Chanel definitely started a trend that keeps repeating. Lots of two and three-toned pumps out now. For some reason I can never get enough of black on pink.Tags: fashion, shoes, accessories, womens shoes, heels, pumps, pink, platform, blackAdded 9 Years Ago from ShopBop

Shoulder Arthroscopy
In arthroscopy, your doctor looks inside the joint with a tiny camera to diagnose and treat joint problems. With shoulder arthroscopy, the doctor can see inside the shoulder without making a large incision. The latest cameras provide higher resolution, so this procedure is even more effective. If needed, our shoulder specialists can perform complex surgery through the scope.
Your doctor may recommend arthroscopy for shoulder problems including:
- Damaged cartilage
- Shoulder instability
- Torn ligaments or tendons
- Torn rotator cuff
- Bone spur or inflammation around the rotator cuff
- Arthritis
- Shoulder impingement syndrome

Title: Fonville Winans' Aerial Views of Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge photographer Fonville Winans shot at least thirteen rolls of 35mm black & white film in 1947 between the months of February and June, inclusive, from his small private airplane. The shots are predominantly of the most developed streets in Baton Rouge such as Plank Road, Scenic Highway, Choctaw Street, Florida Street, and Florida Boulevard. He occasionally flew over and photographed areas that were being developed in 1947. One roll is entirely devoted to images of the current Louisiana State University campus and vicinity.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by Risen Star, Apr 4, 2013.
Yep. Thanks Risen. I really enjoyed it. I hope we can do one of these again soon.
I to want to thank Risen, it felt good to come on the board and just talk football. I loved it, maybe we can do another one closer to the draft...
Yeah, thanks to everyone who participated. They are always fun.
One thing I learned from this draft was that safety is not as deep as I thought and there are a lot of safety needy teams. I think if we do not really feel comfortable at the safety position then we will have to grab one in the 1st or 2nd. If Warmack or Cooper are there at 18 then it pretty much means that it has to be done in the 2nd. To me worthy staters from Day 1 (if Johnson is not being counted on) Vaccaro, Reid, Wilcox, Thomas (Fresno) and Swearinger, or Cyprien. The other safeties will be competition players that could potentially win the job but could be just special teamers.
Defensive line, Running Back, Receiver are deep. OL to me seems to be this year flavor of the draft. First round may generate up to 5 to 6 tackles and 2 guards, so OL will not be as deep only until the 4th round. IMO
With that said, I can see us going. (BPA at their respective positions)
1st. OL/S
2nd. S/OL
3rd DT/RB/WR
4th RB/WR/DT
5th WR/DT/RB
6th TE/OL
That is just my opinion after going through the mock today, and to be honest this is my first year to ever participate. I always done them on my own but never felt as I knew enough to join.
Just curious, have you watched much game footage of Pugh?
Perfectly said. A terrific job. I now know a lot more than I did before this started. It was a lot of fun and you made it that way. Apaprently you weren't happy with us in round three :laugh2: as we quibbled about the Cowboy's pick, but we had it coming.
I watched the wva game and some senior bowl stuff. I'll admit I've watched a lot more of some other players.
He seems to be a guy that offensive line coaches (technique ) like more than scouts (size speed power length). From what I've seen he might be a bit like Konz.
I don't see any similarity to Konz who had much better anchor strength.
Cornelius Washington (6-4, 265) was powering through Pugh in the Senior Bowl driving him straight back into the QB. If Cory Proctor ever blocked Vince Wilfork, it would look similar to Pugh blocking Washington.
If Washington at 265 lbs can jack him up, I can only imagine what NFL defensive tackles would do to him at Guard.
Just curious because I don't know. Was this during the game or during 1 on 1 drills?

Replace the trimmer head
Photo 1: Remove trimmer head
Remove the spool of line from the trimmer housing. The most common method is to push in, twist and pull off the spool. If your trimmer head differs, follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove the old head. The head is attached to the trimmer with a retaining nut or bolt. Ratchet it free and pull it off (some nuts and bolts will be reverse-threaded).
If you've ever struggled to replace or pull out a string trimmer line, you'll love this fix! The frustrating old trimmer head can be replaced with an easy-loading version (adapter required for some models). Echo Inc. (echo-usa.com) produces a universal trimmer head with a string-loading system so simple your kindergartner could figure it out. Short pieces of string line are pushed into the trimmer head, and a locking system catches the line like a fish on a hook. To change the line, simply pull it through the cutter head and push in a new piece.
Remove the old trimmer head as shown in Photo 1. Mounting procedures vary slightly, depending on the brand of trimmer you own, so consult the manual before attaching the new head. Photos 2 and 3 show how to mount the replacement head on machines with threaded shafts. Before mounting the new head, determine which triangular adapter piece and retaining nut fit the threaded shaft.

First Trimester: Complete Blood Count (CBC)
The complete blood count (CBC) is a test that evaluates the cells that circulate in blood. Blood consists of three types of cells suspended in fluid called plasma: red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets (PLTs). To identify and prevent problems, a CBC may be done before pregnancy, if possible, at the beginning of pregnancy, and one or more times during pregnancy. The first baseline results can be compared to later values to look for changes that could indicate a health issue.
- Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that gives blood its red color. It binds to oxygen in your lungs, transports it throughout the body, and releases it to the cells and tissues. During pregnancy, a woman's hemoglobin must transport enough oxygen to meet both her and her fetus' needs. If a woman has insufficient RBCs and/or hemoglobin, she is said to be anemic.
Many pregnant women will experience some degree of anemia. While mild anemia can make you feel tired and weak, more severe anemia in a pregnant woman can cause a fetus to receive too little oxygen to support normal development.
All women lose a small amount of blood during delivery. Although this is usually not a problem, even a small amount of blood loss can be harmful to women with anemia. A healthcare practitioner may want to know the level of hemoglobin in a pregnant woman's blood before delivery to assess the possible impact of the expected blood loss.
- White blood cells help protect the body from infections and also have other immune functions. Evaluating WBCs during a woman's pregnancy can help detect infections so that they may be treated and resolved before they cause significant health problems in the mother or her baby.
- Platelets are special cell fragments in the blood that help form clots to stop bleeding. Women with low platelet counts, or who have platelets that don't function properly to form clots, are at risk of life-threatening bleeding during delivery. Follow-up testing may be needed to help determine treatment options if a platelet problem is detected.
