Chronické astma bronchiale
- Five current textbooks advocate the use of iodides in chronic asthma.
- "Iodide compounds have a stimulating effect on bronchial secretions
- Represent expectorants of major importance in treating asthma and particularly status asthmaticus." [8]
- The AMA Drug Evaluations recommends the use of iodides
- Only for short-term medication [8]
- Current Pediatric Therapy
- Emphasizes careful patient selection because only an occasional patient may benefit. [8]
- Dosage recommendations usually are
- 300 mg of potassium iodide
- Every two hours in adults
- 60 mg per year of age
- Four times daily in children [8]
- These dosage recommendations are many times greater than the
- 65 mg of organic iodine (T4 and T3)
- Which the average human thyroid gland delivers to the circulation per day [8]
- Estimated daily adult iodide requirement of 200 mg of iodide [8]
- Recommended dosages for iodides represent 10 to 30 times the total body content of iodide! [8]
Iodine and Neisseria gonorrhoeae
- Resistant strains of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacterium have spread around the world.
- World may soon run out of drugs to treat gonorrhea, some doctors have turned to
- “Mechanical interventions included genital installation of large quantities of iodine solution instilled by urethral or vaginal catheters.”
- Even the World Health Organization recommends using a 2.5 percent, water based povidone iodine solution
- For all neonates for topical ocular prophylaxis for the prevention of gonococcal and chlamydial ophthalmia neonatorum immediately after birth.
- Book from 1886, “Materia Medica And Therapeutics Inorganic Substances“, by Charles D. F. Phillips
- For syphilis there can now be no question that the drug has curative powers of its own, independent of mercurial action;
- They are evidenced especially in the later, or tertiary stages of constitutional syphilis, when either the mucous membranes are affected, as in deep ulceration of the fauces, or the bones are attacked with periostitis or nodes, or the skin suffers with rupial or lupoid eruption, or the brain-membranes are thickened, or gummatous deposits are formed in any of the viscera.
- By causing the absorption of deposits and thickenings in various parts of the body, iodides cure, at the same time, many secondary and dependent symptoms, such as nocturnal pains, neuralgia, paralysis, dullness of sense or intellect, and convulsive paroxysms.
- The dose of iodide of potash is a matter of much importance, and need be limited only by the susceptibility or idiosyncrasy of the patient, and the progress of the disease;
- It may vary from 1 or 2 gr. up to 60 gr., two or three times daily
Wow! To je megadávka !!! A tady se lékaři kácí v panice z nějakých 5g/5 dní, které mohou ochránit před fatální virovou pneumonií !!!
- The best results have sometimes been obtained from heroic doses, when ordinary ones have failed.
- Elliotson gave 30 to 60 gr., or more, for a dose (Lancet, 1832)
- Ricord commonly prescribed the same amount.
- Sir A. Cooper, Drys-dale, Pollock, and others
- Have given instances of the value of such quantities (British Medical Journal and Lancet 1867-68)
- Dr. Buzzard
- Has pointed out the importance of large doses, especially in syphilitic affections of the nervous system (Lancet, 1873)
- Dr. Paul B. Beeson had some very interesting things to write about iodine and its use for the treatment of syphilis.
- “Early in this century potassium iodide was regarded as “one of the most important drugs in the Pharmacopoeia.”
- Although now displaced by many new therapeutic agents, an extensive body of clinical experience remains, showing that this simple compound can exert impressive effects on certain kinds of pathologic processes.
- The element iodine was discovered in 1811, and this soon led to trial of iodides in the treatment of many disorders.
- The variety of diseases for which iodine was prescribed in the early years is
- Astonishing—paralysis, chorea, scrofula, lacrimal fistula, deafness, distortions of the spine,
- Hip-joint disease, syphilis, acute inflammation, gout, gangrene, dropsy, carbuncles,
- Whitlow, chilblains, burns, scalds, lupus, croup, catarrh, asthma, ulcers
- Bronchitis—to mention only a few.”
- “Within twenty years of the discovery of iodine, the potassium salt was being used with good effect in treatment of tertiary syphilis.
- Toward the end of the century, Osier’s textbook of medicine had this to say:
- In the treatment of the visceral lesions of syphilis, iodide of potassium is of equal or even greater value than mercury.
- Under its use ulcers rapidly heal, granulomatous tumors melt away.”
Malaria and tuberculosis
- June 1, 1905 we see an article printed in the New York Times
- Successful use of iodine for consumption/tuberculosis
- Drug-resistant tuberculosis is also spreading with the rate of TB patients infected with the drug-resistant strain topped 20 percent in some countries, the highest ever recorded, with rates expected to soar even higher.
- According to the WHO, outbreaks of drug-resistant tuberculosis are showing up all over the world and threaten to touch off a worldwide epidemic of virtually incurable tuberculosis.
- Seventeen clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were tested.
- Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) at a concentration of 0.2% killed 99.9% or more of all strains tested within 30s.
- All of the strains tested with PVP-I were killed almost completely within 60s.
- There was no difference in bactericidal activities of PVP-I between standard strain H37Rv and MDR-TB.
- It was concluded that the commercially available PVP-I product is a useful antiseptic against MDR-TB similar to other M. tuberculosis.
- Iodine was known by many medical doctors in the 19th century as an empirical remedy, a real “heroic remedy”
- A true present from the science of medicine to humanity.

- V rozvojovém světě se také používá k léčbě kožní sporotrichózy a fykomykózy
