Hi Albert,
On use of Iodine for the Scalp: That’s too much, definitely. Use only twice a week – that is plenty.And be careful not to use too much.
You would only use only 2 or 3 drops each time you use it, and you would put those 2 drops or 2 or 3 fingertip dabs onto the scalp no more than twice a week. So – put it on only twice a week.
The iodine does not cover the hair – when you wash it, traces of the iodine will go all over your head, and this little bit helps hair growth. Dab the iodine onto the worst affected area. Massage in. And leave it there.
When your hair is thinning, you have to look at your diet too, of course. Get a multivitamin and a Vitamin B complex to supplement (unless you are on medication of some sort, then you have to ask your doctor first) Two raw egg yolks per day are used in Walter Last’s treatment for recovery for any illness, as well as bean sprouts, rice, liver juice, salad greens, cooked greens, and fish. I found his diet to be helpful in recovering hair. The Gerson diet is similar. Walter banned wheat, bread, sugar and dairy foods (except for butter)
Regards, Merrilyn

Hi Malina – Yes, standard iodine tincture is fine. I never bothered finding the white iodine, as the brownish tincture works just as well. Use moderately, only a drop or two at time once or twice a week for adults.
Cheers,
Regards, Merrilyn.

Thank you for the information. Would it be the same if I used iodine tincture instead as I’m having a hard time finding white iodine. I really wouldn’t mind coloring my scalp as long as it promotes hair regrowth.
