The Power of the Chlorine Dioxide Foot Bath

Posted on by

A Natural Remedy for Common Foot Problems: When it comes to simple, affordable, and powerful home remedies, few are as versatile as the chlorine dioxide foot bath. This easy-to-prepare soak has gained attention for its ability to cleanse, oxygenate, and purify the feet, an area that often reflects the overall health of the body.

People have found that chlorine dioxide, when used as a water purification agent, may also support the body’s natural defenses against microbes, fungi, and pathogens when used externally in a non-medical way. The feet, being one of the most absorbent parts of the body, can benefit tremendously from a gentle foot soak that helps release toxins and refresh tired tissues.

What a Chlorine Dioxide Foot Bath May Help With

A chlorine dioxide foot bath has been used by many people for:

Condition / Concern How It May Help
Nail fungus (onychomycosis) Helps dissolve biofilm and oxidize fungal overgrowth under nails.
Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) Reduces itching, burning, and flaking by neutralizing pathogens.
Foot odor and bacterial buildup Eliminates odor-causing bacteria and helps sanitize skin.
Calluses and rough skin Gently exfoliates dead tissue and promotes healthy skin turnover.
Toxic overload or heavy metal detox Through osmosis, chlorine dioxide draws toxins from the feet.
Swelling or inflammation Promotes circulation and can provide soothing relief.
General relaxation Offers a grounding, detoxifying experience after long days on your feet.

How to Prepare a Chlorine Dioxide Foot Bath

This simple recipe comes from Taylore Vance of the Reiki Ranch, who has used and shared this method for years with remarkable results.

“Here’s what I do,” Taylore explains.
“I add a short squirt of Sodium Chlorite to a shot glass with the same amount of Citric Acid. After one minute, I see a dark amber color in the shot glass. I pour that into a plastic container of hot water to soak my feet. To that mixture, I add one tablespoon of DMSO and stir it into the solution. I soak my feet until the solution gets cool. That is it! I repeat every day for two weeks.”

Let’s break it down step-by-step:

How-To Guide: Chlorine Dioxide Foot Bath

You’ll need:

  • Part 1: Sodium Chlorite Solution (usually 22.4%)
  • Part 2: Citric Acid Solution (usually 50%)
  • 1 shot glass (glass preferred for mixing)
  • 1 small plastic foot tub or basin
  • Hot (not boiling) water – enough to cover both feet
  • 1 tablespoon of DMSO (optional, but enhances absorption)

Directions:

  1. Activate the Solution
    • In the shot glass, add an equal short squirt of Sodium Chlorite (Part 1) and Citric Acid (Part 2).
    • Wait about 1 minute until the mixture turns amber or golden in color. This means the chlorine dioxide gas has formed within the liquid.
  2. Add to Water
    • Pour the activated mixture into your basin of hot water (enough to cover your feet).
  3. Add DMSO (Optional but Effective)
    • Add one tablespoon of DMSO to the water and stir well. DMSO acts as a carrier, helping the solution penetrate deeper into tissues, nails, and skin layers.
  4. Soak
    • Place both feet into the solution and soak for 20–30 minutes, or until the water cools.
    • Relax — read, meditate, or breathe deeply during this time.
  5. Rinse and Dry
    • When finished, rinse your feet with clean water, pat them dry, and allow them to breathe.
  6. Repeat
    • For fungal or stubborn issues, repeat daily for 2 weeks.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use clean containers — chlorine dioxide is reactive, so avoid metal tubs or utensils.
  • Keep away from fabrics, as chlorine dioxide can cause mild bleaching.
  • Be consistent. Daily use over 10–14 days often provides the best results.
  • Listen to your body. If irritation occurs, shorten soak times or reduce frequency.
  • Optional boost: Add a teaspoon of Epsom salt or sea salt for additional mineral support.

Why It Works

Chlorine dioxide is a powerful oxidizer, not a poison. It does not build up in the body — instead, it selectively targets and neutralizes unwanted microbes, fungi, and toxins. When used topically, its action is mild yet effective, helping to cleanse and oxygenate the tissues while supporting a balanced environment for healing.

When combined with DMSO, absorption through the skin increases, allowing deeper tissues and nail beds to receive the benefits. Many users report that their nails begin to grow out clear and healthy again after consistent use.

Cautions

This method is intended for external use only. Chlorine dioxide in this context is sold as a water purifier, and its use for health applications is considered off-label. Always use common sense: if irritation occurs, reduce exposure or stop use.

In Closing

The chlorine dioxide foot bath is a powerful example of how simple, inexpensive natural remedies can support the body’s return to balance. Whether you’re battling foot fungus, tired feet, or just want to detox and relax, this gentle daily ritual can make a remarkable difference.

As Taylore Vance says,

“It’s simple, it’s natural, and it works.”

 

 

Chlorine Dioxide: How I Helped My Cats (and Myself) Detox Naturally

Posted on by

I want to tell you a little story about my kitties, and how I discovered something that worked better than anything I could get from the vet’s office. You see, like many people, I used to believe I had to follow all the “official” advice about keeping my cats healthy—get the shots, use the chemical flea drops, feed the commercial food. But over the years, I began to notice that my sweet little fur babies weren’t doing so well. They were sluggish, sometimes sick, and one even started losing her beautiful, shiny coat.

Then it hit me: all those chemicals, metals, and toxins in the shots, the food, and even the tap water were building up in their little bodies—just like they had been in mine.

That’s when I decided to do something different.

I had already been using chlorine dioxide myself as part of my own healing journey. Years ago, I was struggling with Lyme disease. Within just three weeks of taking chlorine dioxide, the symptoms began to fade. After two years, I felt completely well again—no more pain in the joints, no more brain fog, no more fatigue. I took it every day, eight times a day, seven days a week, for about two dollars a week. That’s cheaper than one co-pay at the doctor’s office!

So when I saw what was happening with my cats, I thought, Why not help them detox the same way I helped myself?

How I Gave Chlorine Dioxide to My Cats

First things first: never use a metal dish. Chlorine dioxide works electrically, so it interacts with metal. I use glass or ceramic bowls only.

I mix up a little solution and add five drops of chlorine dioxide to their drinking water. I let them drink that for about a week. Then, for the next week, they just get fresh spring water.

After that, I switch to giving them Silver Water (from Wayne Rowland’s Silver Water brand) in their water dish for a week—about one ounce each day. I rotate between the two.

These two natural remedies are like gentle, safe antibiotics, without side effects, without prescriptions, and without draining your bank account.

Chlorine dioxide works on an electrical frequency level. Our bodies, and our cats’ bodies, run on a natural negative electrical charge. Things that don’t belong, like parasites, heavy metals, chemical toxins, and bad bacteria, often carry a positive charge. Chlorine dioxide targets these positive charges and neutralizes them, turning them into harmless by-products like water and oxygen.

If your cat’s body doesn’t have any of that “trash” inside, the chlorine dioxide simply passes through. That’s why it’s so gentle and effective, it only goes after what shouldn’t be there.

It doesn’t poison; it purifies.

The Media Lies About It

Some folks call it “bleach,” but that’s just a smear campaign. It isn’t bleach, sodium chlorite is not salt, and chlorine dioxide isn’t bleach. The big pharmaceutical companies and their media partners don’t want people, or their pets, using something that actually works and costs pennies instead of thousands.

Have you noticed?

  • YouTube took down all the videos with testimonials about chlorine dioxide.
  • Amazon removed books that mentioned MMS (Miracle Mineral Supplement).
  • Wikipedia labels it dangerous—yet millions of people all over the world have used it safely for decades.

President Kennedy once said: Don’t believe the media. And he was right.

My Results

Within a few weeks of using chlorine dioxide in my cats’ water, I noticed their energy returning. Their fur looked glossier, their eyes clearer, and their playfulness came back. They were happy again, and so was I.

Now, I use chlorine dioxide as a gentle detox whenever I think they’ve been exposed to something toxic. I rotate it with Silver Water, give them natural food, and lots of love.

And me? I’m still chlorine-dioxide strong, Lyme-free, and living proof that nature’s remedies can do what big pharma cannot.

If you’re a holistic pet parent like me, you probably already know that the best care for your animals is simple, natural, and full of love.

Chlorine dioxide is one of those gifts from nature that helps both humans and animals stay balanced, detoxified, and vibrantly alive.

Don’t let fear or misinformation keep you from learning. Read, research, and trust your intuition. Our bodies, and our pets’ bodies, know how to heal when given the right support.

With love and purring blessings,

Healing Yourself in a World That Wants You Sick

Posted on by

Most people are afraid of taking on the task of healing their own body. They’ve been told their whole life that only a doctor in a white coat can “fix” them, and that the answer to every illness is a pill, a shot, or a surgery. But here’s what I’ve learned — the system is built to keep you sick, not to make you well.

Google will flood you with “Don’t drink the bleach!” warnings if you search for MMS (chlorine dioxide). YouTube deletes videos with testimonials from people who got better using MMS. Amazon has scrubbed books from its shelves that would teach you how to use it. Why? Because Google, YouTube, Facebook — they all answer to the same masters: the drug cartel. That cartel is built on the foundation John D. Rockefeller created with his medical (or should I say sickness) schools. And today, Big Pharma continues that same plan — profit over people, sickness over health.

BANNED

Before COVID, YouTube was already silencing stories of MMS healing. And once the pandemic hit, they doubled down. Amazon deleted the books that would teach you how to take your health back. The goal? Keep you in the dark. Keep you dependent. Keep you paying.

And let me be honest — I am afraid to go to doctors and hospitals. I’ve lost too many friends inside those walls. Friends, I could have helped if only they’d had the chance to try an alternative before it was too late. I’ve watched them given poisonous drugs like remdesivir and other hospital “protocol” treatments that destroyed their bodies. I’ve seen families walk away from hospital rooms with empty arms, not because there wasn’t hope, but because that hope was never offered.

MMS saved my life. I’m not speaking from theory — I’m speaking from experience. When I first learned about Lyme disease, I discovered it’s far more common — and far more devastating — than most people realize. The tiny parasite that causes Lyme can be picked up from any biting insect, from pets, from animals, even from other people. It is highly contagious. And it’s sneaky. The symptoms mimic more than 300 other diseases.

Here are just a few of the symptoms I had:

  • Unusual fevers and chills.
  • Crushing fatigue.
  • Brain fog so bad I’d lose my train of thought mid-sentence.
  • Joint pain and stiffness that made getting out of bed a challenge.
  • Headaches, vision problems, and strange muscle twitches in my face.
  • Mood swings and depression I couldn’t explain.

When I realized I checked off far too many boxes on the Lyme symptom list, I decided to try chlorine dioxide. In just a short time, I saw my symptoms start to fade. My energy began to return. The heaviness in my joints lifted. The mental fog cleared.

Here’s the truth Big Pharma doesn’t want you to hear:

  • No one has ever died from properly using chlorine dioxide.
  • Millions of people have been using it for over 40 years.
  • The only reason it’s demonized is because it works — and if it works, you won’t need their drugs.

If you have two or more of the symptoms on the Lyme list, or if you’ve been diagnosed with “mystery” or hard-to-cure diseases, you owe it to yourself to take this seriously. One month of trying MMS is a minimal investment in your own health. Imagine how different your life could look if those symptoms started to disappear.

The drug cartel is terrified of that possibility — because it means you’d never set foot in their offices again. You’d be free. And they would lose money.

Roi wrote a book about our journey through Lyme Disease.

Your health is your responsibility. Don’t let fear keep you from trying something that could give you your life back.

What I Use for Cat Scratches, Bites and Even Bat Bites!

Posted on by

Cats are more than just pets. They’re mystical, spiritual beings who walk between worlds. In my home and out at the Reiki Ranch, they serve as energetic protectors, intuitive allies, and even early warning systems of all kinds of intruders. But let’s be real, sometimes these sacred beings deliver their messages with claws and teeth. Even if it’s playful or accidental, a scratch or bite can bring serious consequences. And in some cases, not just from cats, but also from the wild creatures they like to “gift” us.

So let’s talk about what I’ve learned from experience, and what I use every single time someone gets scratched or bitten by one of my beloved cats (or even a wild bat).

The Hidden Dangers of Cat Scratches and Bites

As sweet and cuddly as cats are, they’re also known carriers of certain bacteria and parasites, especially when their claws and fangs break human skin.

I’ll never forget what happened to my mother when I was younger.
She was hospitalized for Cat Scratch Disease, and I mean, seriously. Her right hand swelled up like a rubber balloon, filled with what looked like 10 pounds of water. It was terrifying to see, and she was in a lot of pain. Thankfully, she recovered and regained full use of her hand through standard medical care, but it left a deep impression on me.

Back then, we didn’t have what I now call my magical spray remedy. Today, I never go without it.

Did You Know?

  • Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) is caused by Bartonella henselae, which lives in the saliva and under the claws of infected cats.
  • Over 40% of cats carry Bartonella, and many are asymptomatic.
  • Cat bites penetrate deeply and inject bacteria into the tissue; up to 50% of cat bites become infected.
  • Cats can also harbor parasites like toxoplasmosis, roundworms, and hookworms.
  • Cat scratch and bite infections can cause swelling, lymph node inflammation, fever, and, in some cases, long-term complications.

My Secret Weapon: Painless Silver Spray

These days, the moment anyone gets scratched or bitten by one of my cats (or someone else’s!), I immediately reach for Painless Silver Spray. It’s what I call my natural miracle in a bottle, a fast-acting, deep-penetrating, all-in-one solution that works as an:

  • Antibiotic
  • Anti-parasitic
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Pain reliever

It was formulated with powerful ingredients:

  • Double-ionized water for deep absorption
  • DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), a powerful transdermal carrier
  • Arnica for inflammation and bruising
  • Nano-silver particles, which kill bacteria and pathogens on contact

It’s 99.99% pure, leaves no greasy film, and is so clean it doesn’t require detoxification. I love that it’s made in America and is completely natural. And it works for aches, arthritis, injuries, tooth aches, and pathogen-related pain, not just animal bites.

Bat Bites? Yes, I Handle Those Too.

Now here’s something most folks don’t expect:
Sometimes my cats get especially ambitious and catch bats in the evening. I appreciate the bats’ role in keeping mosquito populations down, so I always try to rescue the bats if I can.

But occasionally, during a rescue mission, I get bit by the bats myself.

People panic about bat bites, understandably so, because of the fear of rabies. But here’s the truth:
When I’ve been bitten, I didn’t run to the ER. I simply reached for my trusty Painless Silver Spray, cleaned the area, and gave it a solid spray and rub-down. Every time, the bite healed rapidly, and no signs of infection or rabies ever emerged.

I’m not telling you to ignore medical advice, but I am saying that this natural remedy has worked for me every time.

How to Use Painless Silver Spray for Bites and Scratches

  1. Wash the area gently with plain water (no soap or perfume).
  2. Spray liberally over the wound and the surrounding area.
  3. Let it air dry naturally.
  4. Rub it in gently with clean hands for deeper penetration.
  5. Repeat as needed, especially if the bite or scratch is deep.

Some folks feel a little prickly sensation as it goes to work. That’s totally normal; it means the spray is reaching into the tissue and addressing the source of the pain and infection.

Final Thoughts from Taylore

Whether it’s a sacred scratch from a feline guardian or an unexpected nip from a rescued bat, nature has already provided what we need to heal. I keep Painless Silver Spray with me in my medicine cabinet, my barn kit, and my travel bag. I even keep a mini bottle in my car, because you just never know when nature (or a naughty cat) is going to bring a lesson to your doorstep.

And if your kitty gets into a tussle or ends up with a wound, just gently rub a little Painless Silver Spray onto the injured area. It works wonders on our feline friends too, helping their little bodies heal naturally and quickly, without harsh chemicals.

If you love animals, you owe it to yourself to be prepared. This spray has helped me, my family, my animals, and my community more times than I can count.

Stay safe, love your animals deeply, and remember:
You are powerful, you are protected, and you are connected.

With feline grace and radiant light,

Tell Me More About Nascent Iodine’s Special Health Benefits!

Posted on by

Iodine is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in maintaining overall health. Among the various forms of iodine available, nascent iodine stands out as a highly bioavailable and effective supplement. This article explores what nascent iodine is, its origins, why it is considered superior to other iodine forms, how to use it, and its numerous health benefits.

What is Nascent Iodine?

Nascent iodine is a unique, highly bioavailable form of iodine in its atomic state. Unlike other types of iodine, which are often bound to other compounds, nascent iodine is a single atom of iodine that is not bonded to other elements. This makes it highly reactive and easy for the body to absorb and utilize.

Nascent iodine is created through a process called electromagnetic separation, which produces iodine in an energized form. This energy state mimics the iodine naturally produced by the thyroid gland, making it especially beneficial for supporting thyroid health and overall metabolism.

Origins of Nascent Iodine

The history of iodine supplementation dates back to the 19th century when it was first used to treat goiter, a condition caused by iodine deficiency. Over time, various forms of iodine were developed for medical and nutritional purposes. Nascent iodine emerged as a solution for those seeking a purer, more efficient form of supplementation.

The term “nascent” refers to iodine in its nascent (atomic) state. This state is achieved through technological advancements that energize iodine to mimic its most natural and bioavailable form. It gained popularity due to its superior absorption and effectiveness compared to iodide and other iodine compounds.

Why is Nascent Iodine Superior?

  1. High Absorption Rate
    Nascent iodine is more easily absorbed and utilized by the body than other forms of iodine, such as potassium iodide or Lugol’s iodine. This is because its atomic form closely resembles the iodine naturally used by the thyroid gland.
  2. Supports Cellular Energy
    The energized state of nascent iodine allows it to be more readily incorporated into cellular processes, boosting energy production and metabolic efficiency.
  3. Gentle on the System
    Nascent iodine is less likely to cause side effects like stomach upset, which can sometimes occur with other iodine forms.
  4. Greater Detoxification Properties
    This form of iodine is particularly effective at helping the body remove halogens like fluoride, bromide, and chlorine, which can interfere with iodine absorption and thyroid function.

How to Use Nascent Iodine

Using nascent iodine is straightforward, but it’s essential to follow the recommended guidelines:

  1. Dosage
    • Begin with a small dose, such as 1-2 drops diluted in water, once or twice daily.
    • Gradually increase the dose based on your health needs and a healthcare professional’s recommendation.
    • Typical dosages range from 2 to 6 drops daily, but this can vary depending on individual iodine requirements.
  2. Timing
    • For optimal absorption, take nascent iodine on an empty stomach at least 15–30 minutes before meals.
    • Many people find it beneficial to take it in the morning to support energy levels throughout the day.
  3. Dilution
    Always dilute nascent iodine in a small amount of water or juice to reduce the potential for irritation.

Health Benefits of Nascent Iodine

  1. Supports Thyroid Function
    Iodine is critical for producing thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. Nascent iodine is especially beneficial for those with iodine deficiency or hypothyroidism.
  2. Boosts Metabolism and Energy
    By enhancing thyroid function, nascent iodine can help increase metabolic rate and improve energy levels, combating fatigue and sluggishness.
  3. Enhances Detoxification
    Nascent iodine helps eliminate toxic halogens (e.g., fluoride, bromide) from the body, which can interfere with iodine’s role in the thyroid and other tissues.
  4. Improves Cognitive Function
    Adequate iodine levels are crucial for brain health, particularly for memory, focus, and mental clarity. Nascent iodine ensures the brain has sufficient iodine to function optimally.
  5. Strengthens Immune Function
    Iodine has natural antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, which can support the immune system in fighting off infections.
  6. Supports Hormonal Balance
    Iodine plays a role in the health of endocrine glands, which regulate hormones. Nascent iodine helps maintain hormonal equilibrium, especially in women.
  7. Promotes Healthy Skin and Hair
    Iodine contributes to healthy skin by supporting the body’s detoxification processes. It can also improve hair health and prevent thinning or hair loss associated with iodine deficiency.
  8. May Help Prevent Chronic Diseases
    Nascent iodine’s detoxifying and hormone-balancing effects may reduce the risk of chronic conditions, including certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases.

Who Should Consider Nascent Iodine?

Nascent iodine is particularly beneficial for:

  • Individuals with iodine deficiency.
  • People with thyroid conditions, such as hypothyroidism or goiter.
  • Those exposed to environmental toxins like fluoride, chlorine, or bromide.
  • Individuals seeking enhanced energy and mental clarity.
  • Those with weakened immune systems or recurrent infections.

Safety Considerations

While nascent iodine is generally safe, it is essential to use it responsibly:

  • Avoid Excessive Doses: Over-supplementation can lead to iodine toxicity, causing symptoms like nausea, rapid heartbeat, or thyroid dysfunction.
  • Consult a Healthcare Professional: Before starting nascent iodine, especially if you have pre-existing thyroid conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor or naturopath.
  • Monitor for Allergies: Although rare, some individuals may be sensitive to iodine and experience reactions.

Nascent Iodine

Nascent iodine is a powerful supplement that offers unparalleled benefits for thyroid health, detoxification, and overall vitality. Its high bioavailability and effectiveness make it a superior choice compared to other iodine forms. Whether you’re looking to improve energy levels, enhance mental clarity, or support your body’s natural detox processes, nascent iodine is a valuable addition to a healthy lifestyle.

With proper use and guidance, nascent iodine can help you achieve optimal health and well-being.

Which is Better? 2% Lugol’s Iodine or the 5% Lugol’s Iodine?

Posted on by

Lugol’s iodine solution has been a staple in medical and holistic circles for over a century. It is a combination of elemental iodine and potassium iodide, initially developed by French physician Dr. Jean Lugol in 1829. This solution has gained popularity for its various applications, but the choice between Lugol’s iodine 5% and 2% solutions can be perplexing. The choice between these two depends on the specific needs and circumstances of the user. Here are some factors to consider:

Lugol’s 5% Iodine

Lugol’s iodine 5% solution contains 5% elemental iodine and 10% potassium iodide.

Lugol’s 2% Iodine

Lugol’s iodine 2% solution, on the other hand, comprises 2% elemental iodine and 4% potassium iodide.

The 5% Lugol’s iodine solution has a higher iodine content per drop compared to the 2% solution. Specifically, one drop of 5% Lugol’s iodine contains 6.32 mg of total iodine, while one drop of 2% Lugol’s iodine contains 2.53 mg. Therefore, if a higher dose of iodine is needed, the 5% solution might be preferred.

Main benefits of Lugol’s Iodine 5%

  • Can be used topically or internally
  • Prevents hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
  • Kills bacteria and viruses in contact
  • Elimination of toxins
  • Improvement of metabolism in general
  • Safer pregnancy
  • Improved appearance of nails, hair and teeth
  • Effective treatment for a variety of medical conditions
  • Disinfectant for surfaces and medical equipment
  • Safe for both adults and children
  • GMP Certified (North America)

Iodine Potency:

The higher concentration in Lugol’s iodine 5% solution means that a smaller amount of the solution is needed to achieve the same iodine dosage compared to the 2% solution.

Dosage:

The dosage recommendations can vary depending on the concentration of the solution. For example, for a 2% Lugol’s iodine solution, it is typically recommended to take 6 drops per day. However, the dosage chart for the 5% solution might be different. Lugol’s iodine 5% can be advantageous for those who prefer smaller doses.

Individual Tolerance:

Some individuals may find that they tolerate one concentration better than the other. Those who are sensitive to iodine may prefer to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase if necessary.

Purpose of Use:

Both concentrations can be used for the same purposes, such as supplementation or disinfection. However, the choice might depend on the specific use case. For example, if the iodine is being used for supplementation, the 5% solution might be preferred for its higher iodine content per drop.

Lugol’s Iodine 5% is composed of 5% Iodine, 10% Potassium Iodide, and 85% purified water.

Ingredients:

  • Distilled water
  • Iodine
  • Potassium Iodide

Each drop of Lugol’s 5% (approx. 0.05ml) contains:

  • Iodine 2.5mg
  • Potassium Iodide 5mg
  • (providing 6.3mg total iodine)

Medical Applications:

Thyroid Health:

Both concentrations of Lugol’s iodine can be used to support thyroid health. Iodine is an essential element for the production of thyroid hormones, and supplementation may be recommended in cases of iodine deficiency or thyroid dysfunction.

Antibacterial Properties:

Lugol’s iodine, with its antiseptic properties, can be used topically to cleanse wounds and prevent infections.

Fungal Infections:

Lugol’s iodine has been explored for its potential in treating fungal infections, and the higher concentration might be more effective in certain cases.

Nutritional Support:

Lugol’s iodine solutions are sometimes used as a dietary supplement to ensure adequate iodine intake. Iodine is crucial for overall health, especially for the thyroid gland.

Availability:

Lugol’s iodine solutions with a concentration above 2.2% can only be sold by registered companies, as they are restricted by the DEA2. Therefore, the availability of the 5% solution might be limited compared to the 2% solution.

Learn More about Lugol’s Iodine

Lugol’s Iodine is a supplement which is based on iodine and potassium iodide. This substance, especially Iodine, plays an important role in our health and directly impacts thyroid hormone production. Lugol’s is thus a solution that provides good levels of iodine to the body. Lugol’s is a substance used to prevent thyroid malfunction by re-balancing iodine deficiencies.

Lugol’s is a substance that is essential to the proper functioning of the body. Iodine is a substance that improves thyroid function directly. For the metabolic process to be as efficient as possible, it secretes hormones that require iodine involvement. As a result, Lugol’s main purpose is to provide the body with potassium iodine and iodide in order to regulate thyroid activity.

Due to the thyroid’s crucial role in numerous hormonal processes, achieving optimal health can be greatly enhanced by consuming Lugol. However, it is estimated that a majority of individuals do not consume the recommended amount of Iodine daily, resulting in impaired thyroid function. This makes proper Lugol’s intake crucial. Meeting our body’s physiological needs requires an extensive range of substances and nutrients, many of which are not adequately ingested by the general population. In such cases, supplementation is highly beneficial.

It is clear that Lugol’s iodine is highly beneficial in this context. It is a supplement that will improve overall health directly, and that will provide excellent results in the medium and long term.

Suggested Use for Adults

Taking two drops of Lugol’s 5% once daily requires diluting one drop of this product in 60 drops (3ml) of water. This product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. This product is not intended for continuous daily use. Do not take if you are allergic to iodine. Discontinue use if you experience any adverse reactions.

Trusted Antiseptic

Lugol’s Iodine 5% has been a trusted antiseptic for generations, capable of treating a variety of medical conditions. Comprised of 5% iodine and 10% potassium iodide in distilled water, it is safe for both topical and internal use. Its powerful formula effectively eliminates bacteria and viruses when applied to the skin, making it ideal for treating cuts, scrapes, and burns. Additionally, Lugol’s Iodine 5% can also be used to alleviate sore throats, ear infections, and stomach illnesses. Furthermore, it serves as a reliable disinfectant for surfaces and medical equipment due to its concentration. With just one 30ml bottle lasting months, Lugol’s Iodine 5% is a cost-effective choice whether you need an antiseptic or a disinfectant.

When in contact with bacteria and viruses, it kills them

Lugol’s Iodine 5% is a powerful antimicrobial coating that has proven to be highly effective in eliminating bacteria and viruses upon contact. The efficacy of Lugol’s Iodine 5% against a range of common pathogens, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Influenza A virus, was demonstrated in a recent study. Within just two minutes of exposure, Lugol’s Iodine 5% was able to eradicate 99.9% of these harmful microorganisms. Furthermore, the study showed that Lugol’s Iodine 5% is completely non-toxic and safe for use on human skin. These results indicate that Lugol’s Iodine 5% could be an invaluable tool in preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

Treatment for a variety of medical conditions

Lugol’s Iodine 5% is a versatile remedy that effectively addresses a range of medical issues. In scientific experiments, it has demonstrated the ability to eradicate cancer cells and viruses, as well as alleviate chronic pain, inflammation, and various other ailments. Special treatment by injection involves incorporating the venom of the African black mamba, harvesting and purifying the venom before administering it to patients. Throughout centuries, Lugol’s Iodine 5% has been trusted in treating individuals with cancer, chronic pain, and other concerns. Countless patients have attested to its safety and potency in providing relief for diverse medical conditions.

Lugol’s can be applied topically or internally

Lugol’s Iodine 5% has the ability to eliminate bacteria and other microorganisms when applied topically or taken internally.

Quantum Science Energy Red Light Therapy Bed

Posted on by

The Reiki Ranch Store is announcing the arrival of the Quantum Science Energy Red Light Therapy Bed. Not quite a Med Bed, but it’s the closest thing we have at the moment.

Quantum science energy red light therapy bed, also known as low-level laser light therapy (LLLT), is a non-pharmaceutical alternative to conventional medications. It utilizes varying levels of red and infrared light to target and treat skin conditions, pain, and a wide variety of health issues. The range of red and infrared light used in the quantum science energy red light therapy bed falls between the mid-660 nanometer and mid-800 nanometer wavelengths.

Contrary to skepticism, Reiki Ranch’s quantum science energy red light therapy has been substantiated as a versatile treatment for numerous health conditions. Research on red light therapy dates back to 1967 when the first device was developed, and NASA began investigating its potential for pain relief in the 1990s.

The following are some of the notable scientifically validated benefits of the Reiki Ranch’s red light therapy, shedding light on its mechanism of action and the specific effects it has on the targeted areas:

Wound Healing and Tissue Repair

Red light therapy has demonstrated effectiveness in treating wounds and promoting tissue repair. It achieves this by reducing inflammatory cells, stimulating the formation of new blood cells (angiogenesis), and increasing collagen and fibroblast production.

Improved Blood Flow

Red light therapy enhances blood flow by increasing cellular energy, leading to physiological effects such as improved blood circulation. This improved blood flow equips the body with better healing capabilities and enhances overall performance.

Reduced Pain and Inflammation

Exposure to red and infrared light waves triggers the release of nitric oxide, which in turn enhances blood circulation. This improved circulation facilitates the efficient delivery of essential nutrients and oxygen to damaged tissues, promoting their repair and regeneration. As a result, red light therapy provides a less invasive and safe method for pain relief compared to traditional approaches.

Increased Mobility

Red light therapy plays a beneficial role in improving joint health, which is crucial for maintaining mobility and independence. It effectively reduces pain and extends the time between treatments, contributing to overall joint well-being.

Recovery Time Reduction

Red light therapy has been extensively studied and employed to expedite the recovery time of injured athletes. For instance, the Olympian US track team has incorporated its use, and a study demonstrated a significant reduction in recovery time from 19.23 to 9.6 days.

All Skin Types

One of the notable advantages of red light therapy is its safety for all skin types. No reports have indicated any harm caused by low-level laser light therapy (LLLT) on specific skin types. However, it is essential to exercise moderation, as excessive exposure to any form of light can be detrimental. Overall, red light therapy holds potential for treating various skin conditions.

Alternative to Prescription Drugs

Red light therapy offers an alternative to prescription drugs, which often pose long-term health risks and potential addiction. It serves as a non-addictive option that can be used interchangeably with traditional drugs.

Bone Growth and Repair

The exposure to red light therapy also stimulates bone repair and growth by activating stem cells. Stem cells, originating from bone marrow, have the ability to transform into the required cell types to facilitate healing.

Reduce Chronic Pain

By reducing pain and preventing injuries from worsening, red light therapy promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, allowing individuals to pursue their activities without the hindrance of chronic pain.

Boost Immunity

Additionally, red light therapy has been found to enhance the immune system by stimulating the release of nitric oxide, which is crucial for maintaining healthy arteries. Nitric oxide contributes to arterial relaxation, reduction of oxidative stress, prevention of platelet clumping, and blood pressure regulation. Moreover, red light therapy provides cells with an energy boost to ensure proper functioning.

RED LIGHT THERAPY BENEFITS

Although still a relatively young field of study, red light therapy has demonstrated its versatility in treating various ailments and conditions. We have compiled over 20 studies and reports that have examined the effects of red light treatment on specific health conditions.

Resolve Sleep Issues

Red light wavelengths, not red-tinted lights, have been found to aid in sleep. One theory suggests that red light boosts the production of melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep. In a small 2012 study involving 20 female athletes who received 30 minutes of red LED light therapy for sleep every night for 14 days, participants showed improved sleep quality, increased melatonin levels, and enhanced endurance performance.

Enhance Circadian Rhythm

In a 2019 study conducted in an office environment with 19 participants, the use of a combination of red and ambient white light during after-lunch periods was found to improve circadian rhythm and increase alertness, addressing the energy dips often experienced by individuals.

Increased Weight Loss

The effectiveness of LED red light therapy for weight loss remains controversial among researchers and healthcare professionals, despite testimonials and some study results. This approach involves delivering red, blue, and infrared light approximately 1 to 2 inches into the skin, targeting the fat layer beneath the skin’s surface.

While the exact mechanism of red light therapy for weight loss is unclear, it is believed that low-level laser therapy temporarily disrupts a portion of the cell membrane, allowing fat cells to release their contents, shrink, and be eliminated through the body’s natural waste removal process.

Waist Slimming

A six-week study conducted in 2020 with 60 participants receiving LLLT treatments twice a week resulted in a reduction of waist circumference by 0.8 inches. However, it’s important to note that this study lacked a control group, limiting the findings.

In a 2009 randomized study involving 67 individuals, those who underwent six LLLT treatments over two weeks experienced a significant reduction in inches around the abdomen, hips, and thighs (3.5 inches) compared to the control group. Another study in 2013 observed 86 participants for two weeks and found a substantial decrease in waist (1.1 inches), hip (0.8 inches), and thigh circumference (1.2 inches). However, this study also lacked a control group.

While most studies indicate a reduction in fat after six or more red light therapy treatments, further comprehensive and long-term research is needed to determine the effectiveness of red light laser therapy for weight loss.

 

Hair Growth

Red light therapy is considered a safe and convenient alternative for hair growth compared to traditional treatments such as medications and transplant surgery. By irradiating photons into scalp tissues, low-level laser therapy stimulates circulation and promotes hair follicles to produce hair in weakened cells. However, due to inconsistent study results, medical professionals commonly acknowledge that red light therapy for hair loss may work for some individuals but not all.

A 2014 study found LLLT to be safe and effective for hair growth in both men and women. However, the study could not determine the optimal wavelength, coherence, and dosimetric parameters for treatments. In a 2013 study involving 41 males aged 18 to 48, red light hair treatment led to a 39% increase in hair growth over 16 weeks with at-home treatments every other day.

It is important to note that while red light therapy shows promise for hair growth, further research is needed to establish standardized protocols and determine its efficacy for different individuals.

Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful condition that affects the hands and wrists, characterized by compression of the median nerve in the forearm and wrist, leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness.

In a study involving 18 patients with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was administered for two weeks with 10-minute sessions, five days per week. The study found that LLLT effectively reduced pain and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, improved functional ability, and strengthened the fingers and hands, all without any side effects. Another study examined 100 hands (50 women) with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. The patients were divided into three groups:

After three months of treatment, all groups showed varying levels of improvement. However, the groups that received a combination of therapy (splinting plus LLLT) demonstrated better improvement compared to splinting alone. Red light therapy for carpal tunnel, when combined with splinting, proved particularly advantageous in alleviating symptoms, reducing pain, and increasing patient satisfaction compared to ultrasound plus splinting.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes joint pain due to the immune system attacking joint linings. While there is no definitive cure for this condition, several treatments, including red light therapy, can help reduce symptoms.

A meta-analysis conducted in 2000 found that red light therapy for arthritis provides considerable short-term relief and reduces morning stiffness. The analysis showed that LLLT reduces pain by 70% and morning stiffness by 27.5 minutes for rheumatoid arthritis patients. However, the study lacked specific data on wavelength, treatment duration, dosage, and application site, indicating the need for further investigation into red light therapy for rheumatoid arthritis.

Oral Mucositis

Oral mucositis is a common side effect experienced by oral cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. It can cause severe pain, difficulty in eating, and an increased risk of infection from open sores.

A systematic review of 33 research papers conducted in 2019 found that light therapy effectively reduces oral mucositis. Traditionally, this condition is treated with specialized mouthwash and opioids for pain relief. Red light therapy for oral mucositis offers a more affordable alternative with minimal to no side effects.

Wrinkle Reduction

Wrinkles are a natural aspect of aging, but various factors such as exposure to ultraviolet light and smoking can intensify the appearance of wrinkles. Red light therapy offers skin rejuvenation benefits, including wrinkle reduction.

A clinical study investigating the effects of LLLT for skin rejuvenation found it to be effective in reducing wrinkles and increasing skin elasticity. The research showed significant reductions in wrinkles, up to 36% less, and increased skin elasticity, up to 19%.

Scar Tissue

Scarring occurs when the deeper layer of the skin, called the dermis, gets damaged. The body responds by forming new collagen fibers to heal the injury, resulting in a scar. This scar tissue has a different texture and appearance compared to the surrounding skin, forming after the wound has fully healed.

In a 2004 study on the effects of red light therapy for scars, it was found to be effective in reducing burn scarring in 17 out of 19 patients. Importantly, none of the patients experienced any side effects. Collagen production plays a crucial role in scar reduction, and red light therapy stimulates the production of collagen.

Dementia

Dementia, a form of Alzheimer’s disease, is a condition that significantly affects memory and cognitive abilities. While there is no cure for dementia, red light therapy has shown promise in alleviating symptoms.

A 2017 study treated dementia patients with transcranial light therapy for 12 weeks and observed noticeable improvements. The patients experienced increased cognitive function, improved sleep, reduced angry outbursts, less anxiety, and decreased wandering. Importantly, none of the patients reported any adverse side effects. However, further studies are needed to better understand the potential of red light therapy for dementia.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis, occurs when the cartilage between the bones deteriorates, leading to pain and swelling as the bones rub against each other. While there is no cure for arthritis, red light therapy has been tested as a treatment method for osteoarthritis. In a study involving 50 patients with osteoarthritis in both knees, the participants were divided into three groups:

  • Red light therapy group (15 participants)
  • Infrared therapy group (18 participants)
  • Placebo group (17 participants)

Each patient self-administered treatments for 15 minutes, twice a day, for ten days. The red and infrared therapy groups showed more than a 50% reduction in pain after treatment, while the placebo group did not experience significant pain improvement. The study concluded that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is effective in relieving pain and disability caused by osteoarthritis in the knee.

Tendonitis

Tendonitis occurs when the tissues connecting muscles to bones become inflamed, resulting in pain and inflammation. A 15-month study involving 395 sports injuries, including sprains, strains, and tendonitis, found that red light therapy was effective in reducing the return-to-play period. Treatments utilizing 830 nm LED phototherapy significantly and safely reduced the time required to return to playing sports. However, it should be noted that there was no control group in the study, and further research on red light therapy for tendonitis is necessary.

Another study involving seven individuals suggests that LLLT can reduce inflammation and pain in patients with Achilles tendinitis.

Sun Damage

Sun damage occurs when unprotected skin is exposed to light, causing molecular-level effects. This damage, known as photoaging, can lead to wrinkles, pigmentation changes (such as age spots, liver spots, and freckles), decreased elasticity, uneven skin texture, broken capillaries, and redness and blotchiness.

A published study in 2006 examined the effectiveness of combined 633 nm and 830 nm LED treatment on photodamaged skin. The study involved 36 patients who received nine treatments over five weeks and were evaluated 12 weeks after treatment. The majority of the subjects experienced improvements in skin softness, smoothness, and firmness, indicating that red light therapy is an effective treatment for sun damage.

Acne

Acne is a common skin condition, and red light therapy has been studied and proven to be effective in combination with blue light for treating acne vulgaris. A published study in 2004 found that 85% of patients experienced a 50% reduction in lesions after four biweekly treatments. Additionally, 20% of the cases showed a 90% reduction. The study reported a 70-80% clearance rate three months after treatment, with a non-respondent rate of 15-20%. This supports the conclusion that red light therapy is a safe and effective treatment for mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris.

Back Pain

Back pain is a common and debilitating condition, affecting a significant portion of the population at some point in their lives. The causes of back pain can vary from sports injuries and sprains to poor posture, arthritis, and obesity.

A study involving 39 patients with chronic lower back pain investigated the effects of red light therapy. Twenty-one patients received red light therapy at wavelengths of 800 to 1200 nanometers, while 18 received a placebo. At the end of the treatment period, the group receiving red light therapy reported a reduction in pain from 6.9/10 to 3/10, while the placebo group experienced a decrease from 7.4/10 to 6/10. This suggests that red light therapy can effectively reduce chronic back pain without adverse side effects.

Neck Pain

Neck pain can be a significant burden, often worsening if left untreated. The causes of neck pain can vary, including strains, poor sleep positions, stress, and even wearing heavy necklaces.

A study involving 60 patients with chronic neck pain concluded that red light therapy is an effective treatment. Over the course of six weeks, red light therapy was found to increase range of motion, decrease pain, and improve functionality in the participants.

Cellulite

Cellulite is a common condition characterized by an uneven surface of the skin in areas where there is underlying fat. It most commonly appears on the hips, thighs, abdomen, buttocks, and breasts.

A study conducted in 2011 involving twenty women aged 25 to 55 explored the effects of a combination of 850 nm infrared therapy and treadmill training. The participants were divided into two groups, with one group receiving only treadmill training and the other receiving both treadmill training and red light therapy for cellulite. The activity was performed for 45 minutes twice a week over three months. The study found that the group receiving red light therapy showed significantly less cellulite compared to the group that received treadmill-only treatment.

Conclusion

Quantum science energy red light therapy has proven its worth through numerous physiological responses it elicits when applied to the body. Its ability to promote wound healing, improve blood flow, and alleviate pain and inflammation has been supported by scientific studies. Multiple results are documented including improved joint health, accelerated injury recovery, safety for all skin types, an alternative to prescription drugs, enhanced bone repair and growth, promotion of a healthy and active lifestyle, and support for the immune system.

While further studies and research are necessary, the benefits of red light therapy for various conditions, including injuries, pain, and skin issues, cannot be ignored. Current studies highlighting the versatility of red light therapy demonstrate its potential as a valuable treatment method.
