Anyone know what is the purpose of adding apple cider vinegar when preparing this iodine for drinking ? [ that`s what the direction suggesting ].

Various reading material notes that taking ACV for long periods of time can deplete iodine in the body, so mixing the two really depends on what benefit you hope to achieve by ingesting the iodine and also how long your intended treatment is expected to last - be cautious and wise.

I do a lot of research before ingesting anything, but a site that you might find more helpful is Dr. Raymond Weil - he is an excellent physician and holistic specialist.

The manufactor reccomends it because the minerals in tap or bottled water will stain the bottom of the burner and you have to use vinegar to remove it. The instructions say over time it will cause discoloration to the eggs- don't know because after the first few times using tap water and then having to scrub the bottom with vinegar, I went out and bought a gallon jug of distilled water for 99 cents. Well worth the money.

I used the product for couple of months for the iodine benefits. The taste wasnt very good, it was like ground, but i didnt mind it cause i cared about the iodine. However all changed when i recently received my results for the toxic metals exposure based on urine measurements with chelation agents (probably the best available test on planet earth). To my disbelief i had arsenic!? I am pretty health oriented and it first sounded impossible but when i looked at the list with potential arsenic exposures as provided in the test results, i saw the organic kelp was standing there....

i would pump apple cider vinegar and water through it, that should suffice. or even bleach and water, depends on what you use it for. mine works great.

apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar) rinse if you are using a natural soap product like a castile soap, bar soap, or baking soda....I would recommend looking online for mixes because there are variations

Actually I haven't like I do when I take fish oil capsules. LOL. You get used to it anyhow. Start out.slow and build up. Actually I the good natural unfiltered vinegar with the 'mother' in it. It,is.mild and tasty and not acidic like other vinegars.

Dextrose is added to stabilize the iodide. Iodine is vital to the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and the prevention of goiter. Personally I have changed to Himalayan pink sea salt. Not because of the dextrose addition, but because it is more pure and very tasty when used in my crock pot meals.

When you run the solution through, wait a few hours before you start running water through it. It gives the solution time to sit and clean. I just use regular cheap vinegar to clean mine.

No, with the cider you want to use sugar not the drops. The drops give no flavor or abything so it won't be sweet and it won't make it fizz either because it's hard cider not beer.

I, too, am trying to find out how to reconstitute the powder into different strength vinegars. Shouldn't the supplier have this info available for us?

Try mixing the 'mix' with the vinegar and water first. Let it sit to allow the vinegar and water to 'hydrate' the mix. THEN add the oil. Seems to really help.

You poor 1 to 2 capfuls in a glass of juice. As for the arsenic ingredient, arsenic comes in many different forms and it's not always poisonous for you. It states right on the bottle that the taste is not good and that you should mix it in juice. This is an excellent product I use it for my joints and I also it also helps my bone spur on the bottom of my foot.

I don't have arthritis and don't know anything about a link between iodine use or deficiency, and arthritis. I recommend the book "Iodine Why you Need it Why You Can't Live Without It" by David Brownstein. It answers all sorts of questions like this. You can probably get it on Amazon.

I had the same reaction when I bought this product. My suspicion is that they added the dextrose as an anti caking agent, but since we are trying to cut out all forms of excess sugar from our diets, I won't be buying this product again. I want the iodine, but not the sugar.

I have a recipe that uses yeast and this product with 2 1/4 tsp of Xanthan gum and 1 tsp apple cider vinegar to help with rising for a loaf of bread. Haven't used dough conditioner.
