Atomidine® Was Thoroughly Researched By Professional Health Care Givers
Edgar Cayce has often been referred to as the sleeping prophet and perhaps the only prophetic personality to the Americas. Made famous for his healings and medical readings in the 1930’s, Cayce was himself a man modest in personality and of means.
Atomidine
Iodine Solution
Atomidine has been subjected to a number of analyses throughout its history. In 1914 a London chemist who performed an analysis of the product, which was then called Beslin, made the following comments:
1. I have made an exhaustive chemical examination of this sample, and find it to contain a high percentage of iodine in an easily liberated condition. From the chemical point of view it is a disinfectant and germicide of very high value.
2. I have made a number of bacteriological tests with this sample, and find that when diluted to the extent of 1 in 500 it rapidly kills the following organisma: Bacillus coli communis, ordinary sewage organisms, typhoid and gonococcus. In every case the solutions became sterile in well under three minutes.
3. I have carried out a number of tests on bacteriological cultures on the above named organisms in comparison with phenol, and found, as a result of my examinations, that on an average, it was nearly twice as active a germicide as pure phenol (carbolic acid).
As a result of the whole of my experiments, I am of the opinion that Beslin is a scientifically prepared germicide of very high value indeed. Its non-irritant qualities render it quite suitable for internal administration as a germicide, etc.
In 1933 a survey questionnaire was sent by Schieffelin to several thousand physicians and dentists who had tested Atomidine clinically. The 1241 responses received were classified as follows:

It is apparent that of a total of 18,186 cases with decisive results (in 2,188 additional cases results were undecided) from treatment with Atomidine, 96% of the reports received were favorable and 4% unfavorable. Following are some of the favorable reports which were sent to Schieffelin and Co. Note that the reports suggest usage in some diseases which Cayce did not. |
THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS
“There is no doubt about the excellence of Atomidine. In fact I am using it in the treatment of so many different diseases with such satisfactory results that it seems to prove to be almost a cure-all. But there is no argument against facts.”
Report #2220

Report #1942
“Having had a tremendously wide experience with antiseptics and germicides, I feel qualified to make this positive statement; to wit; that there is no such preparation existing today, that meets with the requirements of modern surgery so well as Atomidine. It has the peculiar property of activating the growth of normal tissues.
Report #1944

Favorable reports from users of Atomidine are continually received. A few representative testimonials are included here:
“I have been using your Atomidine. Before the Atomidine tests showed very low thyroid. I took the Atomidine as directed, under an osteopath’s guidance, and numerous tests since then have showed normal thyroid function.lt is a tremendous product. Also fantastic for sore throats.”
. . . . . a woman from Texas
“I was taking the Atomidine for mouth ulcers and noticed immediate improvement. I was cured in three days. This is the only product that has ever given relief.”
. . . . .a Pennsylvania man.
“Your Atomidine works quite well to provide immediate relief from sore throats.”
. . . . . .a New Jersey woman.
“Your Atomidine is excellent. I used it for an ingrown toe nail and it corrected the nail and also eliminated infection.”
. . . . .a South Dakota woman.
“I used your Atomidine under direction of a doctor for Hodgkin’s Disease and it worked excellently.
. . . . . .a man from Kansas.
“Your Atomidine was used for fever sores in my mouth and within three days it was for them to heal.” It usually takes two weeks.”
. . . . a woman from Arizona.
“The Atomidine provides the stimulation necessary without the side effects of that ‘thyroid medicine’ that doctors prescribe.
. . . . . .a New Mexico woman.
“I seem to have more energy and have had less depression since taking Atomidine. General health has improved.”
. . . . . a California woman.
In early 1974 a sample of Atomidine was sent to a New Jersey laboratory for an acute toxicity test in mice. Such a test is designed to determine the oral toxicity of a substance over a short period of time.
The Atomidine was administered undiluted to female Albino mice of the Royalhart strain and the animals were observed over a 14-day period.
The 14-day mouse oral LD-50 (the lethal dose necessary to kill 50% of the mice) was determined to be 38.5 ml. per kilogram of mouse body weight, plus or minus 16%. The solution may be regarded as having a very low oral toxicity in mice, but since an equivalent LD-50 for a 150-pound person would be nearly 3 quarts, the results in mice probably have little relationship to the human LD-50.
