General Discussion / Re: Need help with possible true keloid on nose
« on: April 25, 2014, 01:43:12 am »Definitely read up more on iodine.. I have a small melanoma as well as a few angiomas that I have put a dot of %5 iodine on once every few weeks/month and seen improvements, especially in the angiomas, which are now smaller in size and will likely disapear. I have read plenty (although of course I didn't save references) about iodine slowing abnormal growth of cells in the skin and in all parts of the body. If you are worried about taking it in supplemental form or applying it topically you can always eat foods like kelp and dulse to get iodine and many important trace minerals from a natural source. Maybe even make a poultice of dulse...iodine might also be good for you if you are eating so many cruciferous veggies.
Also consider adding some egg yolks to the diet, as they are a good source of natural vitamin D and cholesterol, which is great for skin healing. Pastured pig fat is also a good source of fat, as is raw marrow, which I am going to go out on a long long limb and say probably has some other powerful healing benefits. What cuts of meat do you tend to eat? Do you ever eat seafoods? Ribs and shoulder chops are high in cartilage and good fats, it might seem like you would want to stay away from those but they might provide some good nutrients to help your skin heal properly.
Thanks, I have read about it, and it's relation to keloids. Well, from what I have read up, keloids may have either low telomere (which is related to aging), and that may be increased by taking antioxidants, such as Coenzym Q10. Also it may be related to low content of EPA/DHA, which is present in fish oil, also it may be related to lower amount of sulfur in body, therefore supplementation of MSM may help. Or it may be related to low amount of Iodine in body, which is extremely common in western world. Or it may be related to vitamin D3, which may help.
Also, fasting and liver flushes and different kinds of cleanses worked for some people. Also 100% raw diet (either vegan or paleo) worked for some people. We are talking here about keloids and scars here of course, which are supposedly unfixable, which is not true.
The thing is, that if you will cleanse your body, reduce inflammation that it gets from either food or overall lifestyle, and give it exactly what it needs and why it has created certain health problem you have, it will clear up. My research confirms this.
I do not know everything, in fact I know very little , but I read up on some things.
I know that cruciferous vegetables may affect thyroid function. That is something that makes me a little bit afraid. I try to supplement myself with natural iodine through sea salt. I know that there is not that much of it in it, but it is at least something (I put it in the salad every day).
I have a question though. Does type of iodine matter at all? Only iodine that I know I could get in city I live in would be Potassium iodine. Now, 3 questions arise:
1. Do you recommend me to take it internally or externally?
2. What are the chances I would get bromoderma or iododerma? I read that it usually shows up once I take 3 mg/day.
3. Should I take selenium always with iodine? What if I would choose not to take iodine, but only selenium? Would it prevent thyroid damage that could occur from eating cruciferous vegetables?
Regarding topical iodine, has damage to normal healthy skin occured in your case? Some people report that there has been damage to normal skin, some people report that there has not been any damage to surrounding skin, only to skin tags, scars, etc, and that they either reduced or disappeared.
Thanks mate
