In an uncontrolled case study, it was found that an adult cat diagnosed with end-stage FIV recovered within eight weeks of treatment with a daily oral gavage of a commercially available iodine solution (tincture of iodine (2.5% w/v), 4 mg in 10 ml water, three times daily). Moreover, for at least five years there was no further clinical evidence of disease in this cat. The animal’s recovery may have been due to iodine’s broad spectrum therapeutic effect on opportunistic infections, or possibly because of suppression of viraemia.
