Do you have >to look exactly for 'Lugol's iodine?' It should give the ingredient list which says 85% water, 10% potassium iodine, 5% iodine. Otherwise, especially if it's cheap, it may be a watered down version. It can also be called Strong's Iodine Solution. It would still need the ingredient list, or you won't know for sure. I got something called " Global Lugols " once, and it doesn't even stain the skin. Quite watered down I would say. Lugol's is not sold for internal consumption. In fact, many bottles have a skull and crossbones on it. This is what Dr. Derry (author " Breast Cancer and Iodine " ) wrote to me in an email once - The reason for the poison sign is not that it is poisonous generally . It is poisonous to people’s thyroid if taken in large amounts. " If the thyroid is quite weak, large amounts of daily iodine will make it go hypo. One drop dosen’t do that. On the other hand again some people with wonky thyroid if they take large amounts will become hyper, but not on one drop. So the sign of poison is to stop people from taking large amounts. Most people though can tolerate lots of iodine. Ie people with good well working thyroids. But if the patient is on thyroid medication then their thyroid is turned off. So the Iodine doesn’t go to the thyroid anyway. So they don’t have to worry at all. " Jcrows.com claims the quality of their Lugol's Solution is very high, but again they can sell it as a " talisman " only and can't make any medical claims for it.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I assume that you are referring to the altcancer website. They were shut down some time ago but re-emerged. Perhaps its just the site now and they can't take orders, I don't know. Here is a source for regular detoxified iodine. It doesn't have the potassium iodide in it. http://www.iodinesource.com/ -- Re: Ordering Lugol's Am I missing something.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 It's in a small bottle with a stopper and the label says "organic iodine." Each drop has 150 ug of potassium iodide. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Skipper,I do take a little Vit C but not as much as some here, so I wasn't as worried about the C, most concerned if that is true about the Mega H. I just started it back since being off for my foot surgery.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Skipper, what great information about Lugol's!!! I have just created a folder under our FAQs about Lugol's and linked to your email. Links > 01 Iodine Basics > Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) > Is my bottle of Lugol's safe? the real Lugol's?

I >just started it back since being off for my foot surgery. Was told not to >take it for a couple of months afterward. Why do you take Mega H? I don't understand oxidant theory very well. One needs oxygen to live. Anyways, iodine and selenium are supposed to be taken together, and are usually found in food together. Selenium is an anti-oxidant. Here's also one interesting quote implying iodine may actually work synergistically as an antioxidant - http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller20.html " Other researchers have shown that iodine increases the antioxidant status of human serum similar to that of vitamin C.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I want to try the iodine but can't afford a doctor. I'm on Levothroid 75 MCG (.075 MG) but feel I need more but am afraid to beat up my adrenals anymore than they are by taking Levothroid without my adrenals being looked at (all this according to Dr. Rind tape). Am holding off until my ship comes in to have all my hormones looked at in sync. My question is, do you think one drop is pointless? Should I wait until I can afford a doctor to monitor me? I don't dare go of Levothroid because I fell asleep at the wheel.
