Back in the 1920s’ and 1930’s ,before penicillin was available in the 1940’s, iodized poppy seed oil was used for treatment of infections of the sinuses and lungs. It is still used in certain radiological procedures as it absorbs x-rays. It is still made by a company in France, called Lipotrol. It is 40% Iodine. The following articles discuss using up to 20 ml of the oil, which would be 8 grams of iodine. For iodine dosing ranges, click
