germanium, boron, molybdenum, indium, iodin

After reading the excellent thread about calcification and doing some research on my own i´ve decided to pay mor attention to the detox aspect.
I´m already on MCP, but now I want to add iodine boron indium and germanium.
But I´m not sure which is the right dose for those minerals and towards what attention should be paid , e.g which of those minerals can be taken together and so on..
Till now I´m planning to take 3-6mg boron (citrat) p.d. but about the others I´ve no clue
Prague has adviced to take kombu for iodine, but how much a day and in wich form??(pure boiled etc..???)
About indium and germanium I don´t even know the best source for it. Is there a natural source or are you buying the pure stuff??? I read something about not taking indium and germanium together, is this right??
So in conclusion I would be very happy if someone could tell me what would be a good daily amount of these minerals, which sources are the best and if there´s anything important to know about the intake.

I would be interested also.
principally about indium, I am still looking for it, don't really know where to buy..
I just bought mobdylene, germanium and boron from a french website here (asahi.fr)
in the menu look under "oligo-éléments ionisés". this is from the same laboratory wich prague got his bottles.
but I don't know if they do ship at the international.
I've just ordered some, i'll probably got them tomorrow.
I will update about my state.

lw4 thx for the information!

from what ive read korean ginseng has alot of germanium, as far as the others idk. im gonna get some soon.

I would be interested also principally about indium ...

was reading somewhere that indium shouldnt be taken on its own as it will cause an imbalance.

here we go

Iridium has great value if given in proper ratio with other appropriate elements, but given alone it may well be harmful to many because of it's effect on cellular growth in a body that is already somewhat unbalanced--we would suggest taking care and taking intelligently

from here

Indium and iridium are not the same. If looking for iridium would want m iridium (orme) and not colloidal iridium for best results. To add further, not sure I've ever seen straight m iridium without others included.

If looking for indium, this one is good http://www.iherb.com/Indiumease-The-Silver-Bullet-1-2-oz-90-Day-Supply/6146?at=0

hope this helps

JDP,

I can't find much out there on what indium actually does. I watched a video by some layperson who claimed it does nothing on its own, but it helps with the absorption of other minerals. Is that accurate?

You also said that it balances hormones I believe? By what mechanism does it do that? The guy who posted that video claimed it cured his adrenal fatigue, but he was in the early stages of it.

Do you have a good source of info on what exactly it does and how it does it?

Thanks as always

CS has a good blurb on it on healthyfixx.com. Find the gray hair post.

Paradox,

Yes, there is a study showing increased absorption of minerals and normalization of hormone levels. I think I have them printed out years ago but it would take me a long time to find. A google search should find them but here is an article about indium. http://www.articlesbase.com/nutrition-articles/is-indium-the-next-new-super-supplement-360662.html

IME, the reviews here are accurate and is the one I take... although rarely and at a lower dose. http://www.iherb.com/product-reviews/Indiumease-The-Silver-Bullet-1-2-oz-90-Day-Supply/6146/?p=1

JDP,

Thanks. That's the one I just ordered. The instructions say to take on an empty stomach in the morning at the back of the tongue. This is pretty inconvenient for me because the collagen 1 and 3 I'm trialing has the same directions, and I am usually starving in the morning and like to eat ASAP. Do you believe these instructions are important or can I take it on the tongue on a full stomach and/or different times of day?

Personally, I would vote to take in the morning on an empty stomach and not at any other time but I haven't tried at different times of the day enough to be positive.

If this is a problem because of other supplements, you can always rotate supplements which I personally would do rather than taking both at the same time.

Good idea thanks.

Paradox, I've been taking indium for a couple of months (gray hair experiment). I keep it in the bathroom, which is normally the first place we all head in the morning. I drop it on my tongue then do whatever I have to do (use facilities, change clothes, make the bed, etc.) before heading off to the kitchen to take my other empty stomach supplements. I find that 10 minutes (the amount of time the indium bottle advises you to wait before eating or drinking) passes pretty quickly this way. Doing it ike this ensures the indium does not disrupt my routine (I had the same problem as you before I started ykeeping it in the bathroom).

IMHO a few drops of indium makes less difference to the "empty stomach rule" than some capsules. That's why I decided to try it this way, and now I find it most convenient.

I just re-read the bottle and it says 10min like you said. I was thinking it was an hour.

Have you noticed anything in any way from the indium? I read that it boosts mood and is great for glandular problems and endocrine stuff. I have adrenal fatigue so I'm wondering what you've noted from it. Probably too early to tell on the gray hair huh? I notice that it's hard to count the drops because it;s at the back of the tongue and I can't really feel how much is coming out. Not a big deal really, but indium is toxic/poisonous in really high doses.
