Iodine Journal

Iodine is used externally as a disinfectant. It kills bacteria, fungi, etc. But it’s quite harsh to skin. It dries it out. I wouldn’t use iodine on my skin unless to heal a wound. Iodine’s lower concentrations are made just by adding water, no mysterious additives. I don’t think Iodine improves skin layers, tissues, never heard of that…

Some use iodine internally, it might affect some hormone levels and metabolic activities.

To improve EQ I would always first improve pelvic floor muscles and internally head for remedies improving blood circulation, as Ginseng and Ginkgo. There are more specific ones, mentioned in posts throughout the forum.

Good to hear, that the problem is obviously no particular injury, but rather a general EQ problem, and that you are on the way to improve.

Hey Bangel,
There are quite a few posts on this and other forums touting Iodine for its scar-dissolving properties, which are exactly what I’m counting on in this case. Appreciate the concern, but my understanding has lead me to view this as the safest available topical option for scar remediation. I haven’t experienced any skin flakiness or other negative side effects. My understanding is that Iodine overdoses can cause thyroid issues, but these cases are the consequences of exponentially higher intakes than anything I’m approaching, which amounts to a few drops a day, topically.

I do take ginkgo however, as well as vitamin D and fish oil. I love the ginkgo, but the iodine seems to be what’s helping with my injury so far.

As far as pelvic floor, I definitely have an overtrained PC muscle if anything, but I do some BC/Reverse kegel exercises these days and I don’t think they’ve helped this particular issue but I do attribute some EQ increases to these.

Golddinger,

Found myself in a similar situation as you. Was hoping you could answer my dm. I previously tried my hand at the dmso iodine mixture but I may have been doing it wrong because it would always burn my member and never actually help out the issue. Could you please answer my dm when you get the chance?

What mix are you using?

The main DMSO thread on Thunders’ is here: DMSO + Iodine Experimental Treatment for Deflated Glans and Firm Flaccid

Typing "dmso iodine" into the search box will return a few smaller threads.

I used Thacker’s Mixture for a while, then modified it to use jojoba oil instead of castor oil, because jojoba would soak in after a couple of hours, but castor remained slimy until I washed it off.
