Hi all,

I keep finding conflicting articles on the net regarding the mixing of Apple Cider Vinegar and Iodine in water and gulping together? What is the skinny on it? Is it a yes or a no no? Kind regards

Where are you reading such things, and what are their arguments?

It is true that the vinegar may make iodine unusable but the body, but I find no evidence in that. Most minerals need acid for them to be "digested". ACV does provide that. Some people say that ACV "burns" to alkaline in the body, but that is nonsense. The body is not a furnace, as was used to justify this stupid theory. If that were true, the ACV would be useless for many of its reputed benefits. The ACV contains minerals of its own, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, chlorine, sodium, sulfur, copper, iron, silicon, fluorine. If anything, the iodine would chelate (bind) some of those minerals, rendering them useless. It can chelate fluorine and iron, for example.

But none of this is worthy of keeping iodine and ACV apart.

update on this, i mixed them yesterday into some mineral water. The concoction fizzed up and after it did so, I downed the lot. I've had a warm sensation in my belly all day yesterday and zero hunger pangs. Found that most interesting. I shall take it again this evening.

What is your purpose to do this? Is there an intent or some kind of benefit?
Iodine is way too of an important supplement to mess it up.
Did you look at Crow's website? search "crow iodine"
he has always promoted iodine and acv as important but I dont know what he would have to say about taking them together.
Never take iodine and vitamin c at the same time a they will deplete each other

Sorry Arrow, how should I take this? How do you take yours? Kind regards

i take my liquid lugols iodine either in water or my evining glass of wine, my vitamin c earlier in the day

majbsb, ascorbic acid is an antioxidant. Iodine is an oxidant. Chemistry 101 has proven that the meeting of the two, will transform the iodine into iodide. Both of these elements are beneficial, but only iodine resides in the thyroid. Both can be found in various tissues in the body. Iodide resides in the prostate. Iodine resides in breast tissue. So they just need to be taken separately, especially if you are working on a health protocol for yourself.
