If this is external
Remedy abnormal scars (keloids) with iodine
Scars aren’t something we like to acknowledge, but just about everybody
has them. Whether they came from falling out of a tree as a kid, accidentally
slicing more than the salad tomato in the kitchen, or undergoing a surgical
procedure, it seems as if scars are an inevitable part of life. Generally, scars
are relatively flat to the skin surface. Occasionally, however, an unusual
scarring response occurs in which the scar tissue “piles up.” These sorts of
scars are called keloids.
Usually, keloids are elevated only slightly above the skin surface, but
sometimes they rise as much as half an inch or even more. There’s no patent
medicine that effectively prevents or treats keloids. Trying to remove a
keloid surgically is rarely effective and usually results in another one just as
bad as before—if not worse.
Fortunately, natural medicine offers a safe and permanent treatment for
keloids: potassium iodide (SSKI). SSKI must be rubbed into the keloid at
least twice daily (more applications offer even better results) for several
months to more than a year, depending on the severity of the keloid. Be
patient, because progress often isn’t obvious for two to three months.
Despite the somewhat lengthy treatment period, persistence pays off.
Eventually, SSKI will diminish a keloid scar until it’s “just an ordinary scar,”
flat to the skin surface again. When this has been achieved, the SSKI
applications can be discontinued. The keloid won’t re-establish itself.
Since the passage of the Dietary Supplements Health and Education
Act of 1995, SSKI has been available over-the-counter in a few locations.
If you can’t find it in a natural food store near you, contact the Tahoma
Clinic Dispensary  at (888)893-6878 or
tahoma-clinic.com.
Using SSKI on the skin surface, as in the treatment of keloids, is very
safe unless you have an iodine allergy. Please DO NOT swallow SSKI or
any other form of iodine unless you’re certain of the safety of the dose
you’re using and of the length of time it’s safe to take it! If there’s any
doubt at all, work with a physician-member of the American College for
Advancement in Medicine (1-800-532-3688 or www.acam.org) or the
American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (1-703-610-9037
