CANDIDA-III
and the ANTIBIOTIC SYNDROME Return to
Candida main page
Lugol's Solution
Iodine is one of the best remedy to eliminate systemic yeast infections.
It is commonly used as Lugol's solution with 10% of potassium iodide and
5% iodine, which is the same as 10 grams of potassium iodide and 5 grams
of elemental iodine per 100 ml. Each drop contains about 6.5 mg of
iodine/iodide. While it contains 10% of total iodine as elemental iodine
and iodide, commonly it is called a 5% iodine solution. Other names for
Lugol’s solution are Aqueous Iodine Oral Solution BP or Strong Iodine
Solution USP (both of which contain 130 mg iodine /iodide per ml).
Iodine Topical Solution (USP) contains 2% iodine and 2.4% potassium
iodide.
Presently 5% Lugol's solution, and all iodine solutions containing more
than 2.2% elemental iodine are no longer available in the US as they may
be used in the illicit production of methamphetamine. However, up to one
fluid ounce (30 ml) of Lugol's solution is exempt from this regulation.
Standard Lugol's solution is still available in Canada and Mexico, it is
very difficult to obtain in the EU, and under strong attack in
Australia.
If you buy 2% iodine solution take 2.5 times more than the amount
recommended for the standard 5% Lugol’s solution. In the US you may also
buy Iodoral tablets, each standard tablet with the equivalent of 2 drops
of 5% Lugo’s solution. I do not recommend pharmaceutical types of iodine
dissolved in alcohol or other solvents as they often cause side-effects.
Always read the label and compare the iodine content with the iodine in
regular Lugol’s solution.
To test for a reaction in case of an overactive thyroid or use of
stimulant drugs take a drop of iodine in liquid other than just water.
If there is no reaction, gradually increase to taking 10 drops 3 times
daily in liquid or mixed with food. Do not take the iodine directly with
antioxidants but it is fine to have antioxidants five or more minutes
later during a meal. You may use more or less iodine according to body
weight. I believe that a 3-week course adjusted for body weight is
generally safe for children. However, it may not be suitable if the
thyroid is overactive or with goitre; with these conditions the amount
of iodine may need to be increased very slowly.
Other Remedies
Follow up the Lugol's iodine treatment with MMS and other fungicides as
explained in You can obtain Lugol’s solution and MMS from
us. Bicarbonate solution is very effective in direct contact such as for
rinsing out the mouth, sinuses or vagina or as packs over sites of
fungal infection and tumours.
Some other antifungal remedies are pau d'arco, propolis, wormwood,
borax, kerosene, gum turpentine, and the oils of tea-tree, neem tree,
cinnamon, eucalyptus, mustard, oregana and thyme. Pau d’arco, also
called taheebo or lapacho, has the advantage of tasting reasonably
pleasant. Wormwood may be used if you want to eliminate fungi and
parasites at the same time, for details see
Many with Candidiasis have benefited from using inulin, a non-digestible
polysaccharide, which helps to feed the beneficial intestinal bacteria,
especially in the colon. It is present in Jerusalem artichokes, chicory
roots and dandelion roots, and may be sold as a white powder, see
In addition you may use a Beck-type blood purifier or zapper to
eliminate Candida and other fungi and infectious agents from the blood,
for details see the article Electronic Zapper & Magnetic Pulser.
Furthermore, the magnetic pulser may help to sanitize pockets of Candida
infestations inside the mouth, vagina or underneath affected skin areas.
Some individuals have found urine therapy effective against Candida,
parasites, intestinal inflammations and Leaky Gut Syndrome; for details
seeUrine & Urea Therapy.
Don't let the antibiotic syndrome creep up on you. Always try natural
alternatives in preference to antibiotics, but when they are absolutely
necessary, supplement your treatment with a fungicide and probiotics.
