Although mentioned in the Cayce readings over 2,500 times as Atomidine (pronounced ah-TOM-uh-deen), this highly useful product, discovered in 1914, was originally sold under the name Beslin (as well as other designations) and distributed by Schieffelin and Company in New York City until the early 1940s. At that time the two-ounce bottle of liquid sold for $1.00. Now it is available under the label Atomic Iodine^™, a description, according to the readings, of just what Atomidine is.

From the multiple uses to which the readings refer, it can appear to be a “wonder drug.” Diluted internal uses include it as a mouth and gum wash, as a nasal and throat spray or gargle, as a solution in enemas, as a douche, and most often taken in small doses in a glass of water for glandular and iodine deficiencies. Used externally, it can be applied as a local antiseptic, a steam bath additive, a pack, a massage lubricant, a stupe, and as a solution for the Radio-Active Appliance.

Almost always, Atomidine is used in conjunction with other treatments. Its value lies in that it is iodine in a form that is apparently less toxic to the body than what is available from other commercial sources. Though probably safe for external use by most anyone, it should be used with great care when ingested internally. Its high iodine content can be harmful to some who might take too large a dosage, while others could be sensitive to even minute amounts. Each drop of the solution contains approximately 1/100 grain of iodine, supplying about six times the minimum daily requirement of iodine; “legally (it) is a prescription item when used internally,” and should be taken only under a physician’s care (An Edgar Cayce Home Medicine Guide, p. 5).
