I have been using 1 part Phil’s iodine mixed with 2 parts of DMSO for just over two weeks. I have not noticed any staining at all. In fact, the dark area around my meatus, caused by my VacExtender, faded away after the first three or four days.
I have been using it topically on my glans, at the base of my shaft, and behind my sack. I also add 6 drops of the solution to a glass of water one or two times a day.
The application to my glans has cleared up the discoloration mentioned above and, I believe, it has reduced the dryness and “leathery” feel to the tip of my glans caused by my VacExtender and pumping.
I am applying it to the base of my shaft and behind my sack because I have ED and I suspect a possible venous leak so I am testing to see if there is any improvement in EQ as a result of this application. No significant changes have been detected yet. I have until Aug 2 to show improvement. On that date, I am scheduled to begin tri mix injection therapy to see if that will improve my ED.
I take it internally in the hopes it may supplement the above topical applications. I also have retinopothy as a result of diabetes. I recently had a vitrectomy and a retina peal. In reading some of the articles listed earlier in this thread, I noticed that Iodine and/or DSMO has been used to heal damaged blood vessels in the eyes. Perhaps the ingestion of the solution may help this problem as well. I know this is wishful thinking, but I don’t believe it will do any harm in trying.
I have a small callus like growth on the side of my hand. It has been there for several years. I applied some of the solution to the growth today and will see what happens there as well.
I will keep you posted on all of the above.
