Guinea Pig Rob Here…

A few days ago my GF son (21 years old) told us he was going to make an appointment with the Dr. due to lumps at the base of his skull and side of neck. I told my GF to have him come by tonite before he spends $600 with those Dumba$$'s.

Medical care is so bad here they will try and diagnose him with “non-Hodgkins lymphoma” or something stupid like that, he is “un-vaxxed” so that drops his chances for cancer way down for his age group, they'll preform a bunch of expensive test on him, and then say the test are inconclusive but you owe them $40.k for the test. So I told my GF I'll take a look at it (I have 25 years experience being a naturopath).

After examining him and the lumps I determined his lymph nodes around his neck were swollen due to a viral infection. I asked if he had been sick (Head Cold) recently and he said YES.

My GF thinks she knows all my medical trick… lol NOT! I got a small bottle of Tincture of Iodine 2% (alcohol based) from my stocks, dipped a Q-tip in it and started painting the skin over the swollen nodes. I gave him the bottle and told him to repeat painting them every 2-3 hours and call his mom in the morning and tell us if he see's any difference.

The next morning he called to tell us that after only 3 painting, the nodes have shrunk by 50%!

Now, I've studied how the Russians have used Iodine Grid Painting. Iodine penetrating through the skin into muscle tissue and blood vessels, iodine has a detrimental effect on pathogens.

The Russians state: In case of runny nose, it is applied in very thin and neat lines to the bridge of the nose and the wings of the nose. If you have a cold, it makes sense to place the net on the feet and in the area of the calf muscles.

Sum of what the author is saying I believe and some I think is Hype…

So, I'm thinking to myself, if painting the lymph-node for an infection works so well... why not paint iodine (2% tincture or white iodine if you are worried about staining) over the forehead (frontal sinus pockets), under the eyebrows and across the nasal bone (ethmoid sinus), cheeks under eye (maxillary sinus). I also painted behind my ears and back of neck.

Edgar Cayce (1900 A.D.) advocated painting the sinus plexus daily for 2 weeks with castor oil, so this is not a new thing.

Do this at nite before bed so your eyes are closed.

In my area, the farmers are harvesting soybean and the chaf is all in the air causing everyone sinus issues including me. Using myself as a test subject I painted up my face with iodine before bed.

When I woke-up, I had a large glob of snoot in the sinus-larynex area. It was some much it was gagging me. Went out on the back patio to drink my coffee and had to blow my nose and the flood gate of hell come out. I felt so much better. My head was clear. Less congested. I'll do another iodine painting tonite. This works

Povidone-iodine Nasal Spray:

I suffer from regular sinus issues caused by candida and polyps. This recipe has worked the best for me so far. It's portable so you can carry it with you in your pocket. It does not burn at all so it's pleasant to use.

Regularly use 2 – 5 times a daily with a Nasal Spray Irrigator and home-made saline. Povidone iodine is a powerful antiseptic and disinfectant. In contact with skin and mucous membranes povidone iodine works quickly and has a microbicidal effect (causing the death of a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa).

Material needed:

  • 30 ml empty nasal spray bottle
  • Distilled water
  • Sea salt
  • Baking soda
  • Povidone-iodine 10%
  • Eye dropper
  • Empty clean water bottle
  • Peppermint oil (optional)

Recipe:

1. Add 1 teaspoon sea salt and 1 teaspoon baking soda to empty “clean” water bottle.

2. Add distilled water to bottle, cap and shake til salt and baking soda have completely dissolved. This is your saline solution.

3. Add 2 full eyedropper of Povidone-iodine (roughly 50 drops) to the empty nasal spray bottle. 2 drops peppermint oil. Top bottle off with your saline solution.

4. Use this spray twice in each nostril 2-5 times daily for a few weeks to resolve sinus infections, congestion and polyps.

Sinusitis: Russians snort liquid iodine into their nasal cavities when they are sick, and also Germans put 10 drops of liquid iodine into their coffee or tea as a cure-all.

I tried it in my coffee and swear it cut my cold in half, I just don't have the guts to snort 7% iodine!!

I had read that providone iodine is the go to product for before surgery clean up and clean out of the sinus passages. Well, go from there... why not use it to get rid of a sinus infection.. Just use a neti pot and put 4-5 drops of the iodine in the bottle with a salt saline packet. Use it 3-4 times a day. U will not need antibiotics. It works. I had thought of LUGOL's iodine but was not sure that was supposed to be used internally. Providone can. Buy it at the grocer or drug store. If you do not use the neti pot with saline solution... I doubt this will be effective.

Iodine for Sinus Pain:

Wonderful information on this site.

In Nov 08, I caught a cold and had terrible sinus. The cold cleared up but periodically my right sinus cavity would close and cause horrible pain. This area was on the right side of my nose about an inch down from my eye. I started using nasal irrigation and peroxide and water spray directly in my nose. This helped but I never seemed to be completely cured. The pain would start on the side of my nose, go around my eye, down my cheek to my teeth then into my neck and around the back of my neck. It rendered me useless. The addition of my favorite beverage, Chardonnay, would bring it on until I stopped having any. In searching this site, I read about Iodine (clear from Rite Aid) and painting it on certain areas of the body so I tried it on the side of my nose. I started doing this several times a day and last night was the test. I had my wine without any pain. I will continue to use Iodine until I'm sure it has cleared up. Who would have thought this would cure me. Thank you very much to everyone for your additions to this wonderful site.
