Sit without surgery: Natural Hemorrhoid Relief
By Dr. Jonathan Wright on 01/02/2011
Question: No matter what I try, I have been getting hemorrhoids for most of my adult life. I am desperate to find something that works to get rid of them. Can you help?
Dr. Wright: As you've discovered, there are plenty of options for people with hemorrhoids -- over-the-counter creams, pads, and ointments, those inflatable "donuts" to sit on, and, of course, surgery. Unfortunately, the less drastic ones aren't very effective, and the more drastic are just that -- drastic.
But my colleague Richard Kunin, M.D. (a world-class expert on the use of SSKI and other forms of iodine) has found that hemorrhoids will disappear -- sometimes literally overnight -- when a mixture of 20 drops of SSKI (potassium iodide) and 1 ounce of flaxseed oil is applied to them at bedtime. SSKI alone will do the same job, but Dr. Kunin's patients have reported that it "really stings" when applied by itself.

Where do I get the correct strength of SSKI drops to help with my mom's problems with hemorrhoids?
Thanks!

Belive it or not, the lowly dandaline is wonderful. I have taken dandiline root for years. It prevents hard stools by releasing more bile. It is not a laxitive it just works. I love dandilines they are so pritty in the spring and such a cherry little flower, my mom used to make us dandiline green salid and it was so good. Mom's are great.

Kindly advise me as to what "SSKI" stands for.
Also please advise me of the concentration of potassium iodide used for this treatment of haemorrhoids just above the anus.
Thank you very much.

You are all way off here. There is a new process using heat treatment which completely eliminated all of my hemorrhoids. It was easy to do, even though it required several treatments. I think I went three times and some kind of heat transference wand was used to heat up the hemorrhoid and pop it. Then it heals and as soon as it is all healed you never have problems again and constipation ceases as well as diarrhea in my case. This was great. Medicare and insurance companies cover the treatments. There is some little money that you have to pay before you begin the treatments. It is little enough to get rid of all these problems permanently. Take Mama to Advanced Care and get her the treatment and she will never be bothered again. The healing process is unnoticeable and just occurs. If it is a very very large hemorrhoid, there may be sluffing of the scab. But otherwise you notice nothing except improved health.

SSKI stands for "Saturated Solution of Potassium Iodide", K being a chemical symbol for Potassium.
BTW -- guess where i found this out???
wikipedia.com, and it took about a minute. Why are so many people scared to use this powerful and free tool?

SSKI is potassium iodide (iodine) with DMSO in solution, obtainable by prescription. Also useful for toe fungus. The DMSO helps the iodine stay on the nail. I've also used it for heat rashes.

I had the problem in 1965, Dr. wanted to remove, I waited and got relief with a pulsating shower massage for a few minutes in the shower, hot as comfort will stand. NO reoccurance for the past 45+ years. A longer hose can be added to the shower head if needed if you cannot stand. No creams, cuts, no return. Try it!
