    Hi Eric, I wrote to MaggiesHolisticsNY.com about Nascent Iodine and the Microbiome. This is her reply:

    Hello Genevieve

    Iodine does not affect a persons microbiome in a negative way.

    Microbiome is 100% affected by your diet. Fatty diets with GMO foods, carbs, sugary foods, and dairy will have a very negative affect on your microbiome which any…[Read more]

    The microbiome: interesting point. I take it on a empty stomach. That’s supposed to help. Fibro sufferers often have IBS or SIBO as I did. Hasn’t been worsened with nascent iodine.

    I’ll ask Maggie about the gut microbiome.

    Hi Eric,

    Many people I’ve spoken with have found Nascent Iodine very beneficial. At least 5 others with fibro have benefitted. Others have found it helped them lose weight if they needed to lose weight.

      Thank you Genevieve this is great information. I hope others will come here and testify to how this has effected them as well, and I wonder what other indications it would be useful for?

    Anyone try Nascent Iodine, selenium and vitamins B2 and B3?

    That particular form of iodine gave me some relief pretty quickly. I had a life again in a month though it took almost a year for benefits to reach hip area. Shoulders and neck responded quickly. The selenium, B2 and B3 support. I am able to function much better 16 months later.

      Hello Genevieve and thank you for your joining us here and thank you so much for sharing whats worked for you! As a transplant patient with severe symptoms that seem to cross between Fibromyalgia and MS, I wonder if this combination would be beneficial for me as well? I do take lots of B2 and 3, but haven’t tried the iodine and selenium which i…[Read more]
