I have Morgellons and high dosage iodine supplements in the form of SSKI and Lugol's solutions have been promoted as a "cure", though I know no one who was actually "cured". Instead SSKI and Lugol's did inhibit the skin extrusions of Morgellons sometimes for long periods though when discontinued, Morgellons visibly returned.
I knew this was likely a dangerous protocol but your article has confirmed my layman's thoughts. Now I know what to say to other Morgellons sufferers.
Thank you, Robyn, and, yes, iodine has never been so interesting. Thank you for your great work.
Very interesting comments of yours below. And, I objectively agree with what you are saying. Iodine, *like other supplements*, can/do bite i.e., make a person feel worse. I have a few examples of folks I know who've been bitten by Lugol's and other iodine sups. Too long to get into here.
Your advice on how to get more iodine 'the right way' is right on, too. Good job, per the norm for you. Common sense and staying as objective as possible.

I'm thrilled to bits that it hit the spot for you. Tbh, I was a bit hesitant about publishing it because it seems like such an arcane subject. I thought it would be a pretty short piece, but once I started to dig into the 'secret life of iodine', I found out more and more fascinating things about it. I'm particularly struck - and saddened - by the profound effect that iodine deficiency has on human potential and hence, economic development. This is surely a problem that a few genuinely philanthropic individuals could solve relatively easily - like the Lucky Iron Fish which was developed to mitigate iron deficiency anaemia in poor countries.
My thoughts are much darker than that. I suspect that the failure to address widespread iodine deficiency is a control mechanism - keep people too weak and stupid to fight back.
I've thought the same for years and years. Keep us weak physically i.e., fat, lazy, often sick with something or other, dumbed down mentally (vaccines & meds are GREAT for the first two), and broke or hurting financially.
Also, keep us Anchovies at each others throats. Instigate crap to keep us fighting and tearing each other apart.
I believe the above is orgasmic (literally?) for the psychopaths at the top of the Evil Heap.
I agree with most everything you've said except the orgasmic part. The more horrifying truth is they simply do not care any more than when you squish an ant which hardly produces an erotic response or any thought at all.
They don't even notice. I used to sit at those tables. Thank God no more.
I do not disagree with how you phrased your 1st paragraph. Could be/probably is. It's either one or the other; or both?
"I used to sit at those tables. Thank God no more."
Very interesting comment. Can you say more? I'm assuming you can't but I sure would love to hear what you know & what you've been through. Any way to do that?
I agree, financial profit is only one motive, keeping the masses weak and docile is definitely another. Perhaps your article could have touched on Fluoride and Brominated compounds, both of which are used to medicate the public and both are antagonists to Iodine?
I considered whether to include a discussion of the other halogen elements but the article was already getting too long! It might make it into Part 2, or perhaps I'll need to do a Part 3.
I agree. Historically we have many examples of slow and deadly institutionalized malnutrition to keep desired populaces under control.
Like here in the US when the Indians were herded onto reservations and all forms of food were controlled by the US government with knowledge of the long term effects of dietary deficiencies. The health effects of this slow genocide are still felt today many generations later.
Today is no different and we all need to be aware of it happening again.
You're so right about the historical use of malnutrition as a control mechanism. The British did it to the Irish. They did it to the Indians (as in people from the subcontinent of India) too. The Israelis have done it to the people of Gaza (long before the current siege).
There's a quote attributed to Kissinger, although I'm not sure it's an accurate attribution, that “Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” All these control mechanisms are being exerted on us at maximum force.
One of the only solaces I find from all these mechanisms of control they exert, is the sheer amount of resources they obviously must expend in their efforts to control us and have yet to have succeeded other than periodically.
Somehow we always rise. They never truly win. We are stronger than we think. This indicates who made us and of what stuff. God Almighty. Thank you, Jesus, for showing me the secret to our success.
Satan is unchained by design to exert unfettered force for a time. To prove who we are. By faith. Not in the seen but in the unseen.
So, regardless of who said that quote it's a lie and not a lie at the same time. Control this fallen world? Maybe. Control God's creation? Don't bet on it. It's a cruel joke told by toad-like men in the service of evil. Ha.
Great article as usual. Interesting to read what you said about sea air. A relative of mine (nurse) came to the coast to visit and we were on the beach at Burleigh and she and hubby both had masks on - nobody else! I did say that air is your friend but it didnt gel.
Your command of the topics you write about is immensely impressive and valuable! Thank you for the time you take to research and share with us. I am also grateful for the shout out 😉
Curious your thoughts on a personal experience with a patented iodine product in America. During COVID, before I awoke, I bought into the minimizing viral spread by ‘disinfecting’ the oral and nasal passages. I did so at the end of every workday with an iodine nasal spray and oral rinse. I was trying my best to not get sick…which I never did and you know I did not take any experimental injections.
The molecular iodine that I was using had been tested in a biolevel 3 lab in Utah and had been shown to kill the SARS CoV to virus in vitro. For the approx two years that I did this, I had a weird skin condition on my shoulders and arms that presented when working out or exposed to sunshine. No one could figure out what it was but it resolved when I stopped using the iodine.
With my recent research into the oral biome and antiseptic rinses, I am wondering if there could possibly be some connection. There were some other things that could have contributed…I was also taking Ivermectin twice weekly. The pharmaceutical kind, not the horse paste 🙄
Hmmm, I know that the iodine-containing drug amiodarone is associated with photosensitivity, described as a "distinctive blue-grey pigmentation on sun-exposed areas" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7698592/). Iodine taken up from the bloodstream is concentrated in the skin. I don't know what would explain the exercise-induced reaction but my guess is that the accumulated iodine was somehow affected by higher body temperature or perhaps by increased nitric oxide generated by exercise. But I'm speculating pretty wildly here!
Thank you for speculating 😉. The body is an amazing system and it is impressive the reactions that can occur and correct when we throw off the balance of systems.

I'm really disturbed by how many people I speak to, who have been prescribed mg doses of iodine by 'alternative' practitioners.
I've read many articles about iodine over the years and none even come close to this excellent article, thanks Robyn!

Unfortunately, as we know the existing medical complex shows little interest in causation, so much more 'cheddar' in treating symptoms.

Hi Robyn

That's unbelievably sad. It's hard to wrap my head around the notion that anyone is still carrying on with this nonsense.
