Does Potassium Iodide Expire?

Question: "I ordered the Hemmorhoid kit a while back and am just now getting around to using it. I've kept the materials in a dark cool spot, but when I mixed them together they were both clear and the potassium iodide never changed colors. It also doesn't seem to be making stains on anything, so [...]

Can You Nebulize Potassium Iodide?

After reading my article on nebulizing glutathione and hydrogen peroxide, one of my readers asked this question: "How exactly would potassium iodine kill you? Nascent iodine is potassium iodide."

And they also mistakenly believe that products like Absorb Plus contain synthetic vitamins or minerals - because if vitamins are not whole-food, then they must be synthetic. First of all, minerals are rarely (if ever) synthetic because they [...]

Magnesium Stearate In Supplements – Good or Bad?

I have read Joseph Mercola's position on magnesium stearate - however I do find it interesting that he only started to speak out against magnesium stearate after he came out with his own supplement line. So it just makes me wonder, is it truly as much of a concern as he proposes, or is it [...]

Answer: To quote from Dr. Mercola's article on this topic: "Let’s clarify one thing: It’s the retinoic acid (retinol) form of vitamin A that is problematic. Not beta carotene. Beta carotene is not a [...]

Nanoparticle & Angstrom Minerals

It took me a long time (over 2 years) to go public with my positive account of using nanoparticle (or angstrom-sized) minerals. This is because nanotechnology is experimental and the full ramifications of any application of the technology are yet unknown. Because of this, I didn't want to unduly influence anyone one way or the [...]

Are Vitamins Safe?

An important point to keep in mind, is that as pharmaceutical company revenues continue to fall and public buying practices continue to reflect a growing interest in natural or alternative healthcare, we are going to see a LOT more publicity/propoganda attacking natural herbs and substances. It reminds [...]
