Where in the Midwest are you from?
This girl is from Topeka.
People there are farmers mostly and they just eat meat, bread and potatoes.

I know someone who grew the most gorgeous plot of organic spinach, and she
grew way too much, who couldn't give it away to ANYONE. It all went to the
goats. LOL

My dad grew up an hour or so from Topeka. I remember on family visits back
there, at backyard picnics, asking where the salad was and being confused
when I was directed to a huge pan of jello and canned fruit. Yeah, for some
of us jello was a vegetable... :-)

Yup, generalizing won't apply to everyone. But... well, there are
patterns! I'm a Midwest baby too, but can't wax too enthusiastic over the
usual "diet" in these parts, either within or without Kansas. Or most of
the US for that matter, with areas of notable exception (and pockets of
exception scattered throughout).

Dear All,

When I was instructed in the use of Lucose's Iodine (the kind used by labs to stain slides, etc) I was given the following info:

start with 1 drop a day in water.
increase a drop a day up to 7-14 drops (1-2 weeks)
then decrease a drop a day down to 1 or 2 drops (another 1-2 weeks)
stop after another 2-4 weeks.
Maximum time 1-2 months on iodine

DO NOT TAKE FOR LONG PERIODS MORE THAN 1-2 drops a day.

According to the info given:
Overdosing on Iodine can worsen hypothyroid ,etc.
Small doses of iodine can correct hypothyroid, goitre, breast lumps (non-cancerous), help lose weight.

Also that a "patch test" with ordinary iodine would help determine the need for iodine.
on a light coloured and usually untouched part of the body smear a coin sized patch of iodine. (eg the belly, upper inner arm, etc) don' t wash the patch for 24 hours. measure how fast it is absorbed into the skin. the faster it goes, the more the need of iodine. i've seen it disappear on some in an hour and on others in 2 days. 18-24 hours would be "normal".

I would imagine "talkativeness" and "arguementiveness" would be early homeopathic signs of overdose... I've met homeopathic cases of Iodine, they all have these qualities.
Sincerely,

of course a bunch of corn salads, as well as two kinds of jello.
Someone pointed out it was the first salad bar they'd ever seen which
had NO green in it!

My patient is trying the iodine test today!!! She managed to find some 2.5% iodine solution which contained potassium (probably as the iodide)!!
