Is there any research on the effects of iodine on the beneficial

intestial flora? PA

research on the web.)

Tincture of Iodine is traditionally used as a water

purifier: Maximum of four drops to one litre of water,

to clean it. Obviously it kills bacteria. But why

don't you take it sublingually and save your

intestinal flora? That will be the clever way.

Below from Iodine list. Iodine is considered safe for intestinal

flora, but in the low pH stomach, Iodine can kill bacteria which

causes ulcers.

We now know the pH of various parts of the intestines and where the

various microorganisms reside.

 

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal Tract

" The pH of the stomach in a normal, healthy human is in the 1-3

range....Few bacteria can survive in an environment with a pH of 1 to

3!... The pH of the duodenum is 6 to 6.5.... The pH can reach 7 to 8

in this area.... Further along the small intestine, beyond the

duodenum, lies the jejunum and ileum.... As we get further away from

the stomach, the pH rises to about 7.5 in this region.... And the

final organ of the digestive tract is the large intestine, which

includes the colon and rectum... The pH of the large intestine is

5.5-7, and like the buccal area, blood that drains the rectum is not

first transported to the liver. So, absorption that takes place in the

rectum (from rectal suppositories and enemas) goes into the systemic

circulation without biotransformation that takes place due to liver

enzymes. "

The composition of the intestinal microflora

Includes great graph on the various microorganisms in different parts

of the digestive tract, from mouth to rectum.

Looks like the lactobacillus and the bifidobacterium both reside in

the jejunum and beyond. So, the higher pH should keep them quite safe

from any iodine.

Sublingual ingestion seems like a good idea for infections of the

blood and organs with good blood circulation. I was concerned about

treating stomach, intestinal, and bladder infections with

Iodine/Iodide and not harming beneficial flora. Thanks, PA
