Milk with iodine - the most common misconceptions.

On the Internet you can find answers to any questions. Alas, not all of the above information is true and useful. Sometimes you come to horror by reading some advice. However, when it comes to fashion, cosmetics, home-made clothes and other small things, it does not matter much. Another thing is health ... Russians are very fond of grandfather prescriptions for treating various diseases. Honey with vodka from an ulcer, milk with iodine in case of unwanted pregnancy, butter with garlic from cancer ... The list can be continued indefinitely. I think in this case it's not at all superfluous to dispel some misconceptions about the miracle of home remedies.

Milk with iodine for the prevention of radiation sickness.

I have to disappoint those who firmly believe in the effectiveness of this method of fighting radiation. The usual iodine is used only when the territory is contaminated with its radioactive isotope. Reception of the substance begins immediately, as soon as a leak is detected. The essence of the method is that the body is saturated with iodine before it starts to compensate for its deficiency due to isotopes. The most dangerous period is the first two weeks after the disaster. At this time, it is recommended to take drugs with potassium iodide: "Jodomarin", "Lugol", "Iodine Active ". All these medicines are essentially identical. In cases where it is not possible to buy ready-made products, you can use milk with iodine (a couple drops of alcohol solution per glass).

Unwanted pregnancy - can you solve the problem yourself?

Unplanned conception is an unpleasant fact and any woman tries to solve the problem with "little blood". Many, besides, even to the doctor to address are afraid, resorting to every possible tricks to provoke an abortion. Skydiving, moving heavy furniture alone, hot tubs with mustard ... What unreasonable ladies do not do to get rid of unnecessary fruit.

In the Internet there are also tips on this topic. For example, such: "If you drink milk with iodine, the termination of pregnancy is quite possible." However, no one hundred percent result promises, stipulating that this method does not help everyone.

In the distant past, when in the USSR there was not only sex, but also contraceptive pills, such barbarous methods were somehow justified. But when modern, educated young ladies seriously ask the forum questions: "If I drink milk with iodine, the monthly will begin immediately?", I really want to ask what century these people live. After all, now all the information about sex, conception and prevention is freely available. At the same time, you can also clarify the disappointing fact that the onset of menstruation does not guarantee the absence of pregnancy.

I will reveal the secret, milk with iodine was used for a short time by our grandmothers to cause a miscarriage. Iodine has no pronounced abortion effect. Thus, you can induce vomiting, get upset stomach and even ulcer, but get rid of the child is unlikely to succeed. Those who forgot the school course of chemistry, I recall that iodine is toxic, and in the presence of hydrochloric acid (gastric juice) manifests itself as a strong oxidizer.

People's methods of abortion do exist. There are plants that contain substances that stimulate the muscles of the uterus. To quote their names here I will not, for reasons of ethics. Of course, their use is far from safe, especially in the absence of medical supervision. However, any expert will confirm that there are no harmless abortions in principle. There are ways less traumatic - vacuum, pharmacological preparations. However, we must not forget that abortion (including miscarriage) is a shock to the female body, which is already tuned for bearing the fetus.

Iodine in case of violations of the endocrine system.

Proper functioning of the thyroid gland allows us to remain energetic, slim, cheerful, and above all healthy. However, diseases associated with disruptions in the work of this body, are now becoming epidemic. And the blame for everything, according to endocrinologists, is the lack of iodine in the ration of Russians. A little about why our body needs this chemical element? It is iodine that takes the most direct part in the synthesis of the hormones triiodothyronine and thyroxine, which are necessary for the normal course of metabolic processes. You can get iodine from food, water and even air. It is enough to include seafood, legumes, green and onion, vegetables and fruits in large quantities in your diet, use sea salt and dried kelp as a seasoning.

Can I take milk with iodine, in order to make up for the deficiency of this element in the diet? According to endocrinologists, this should not be done in any case. Active iodine is easily absorbed by the body, so there may be an overabundance of it, which is no less harmful.

Many experts also oppose the taking of any drugs containing this element. They are sure that for the human body it is much more useful to receive iodine from food products.

Agree that home remedies are not too suitable for solving medical problems. Therefore, it is better to do without them. As they say, you will be healthier.
