Guest guest Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I was told by a health practitioner that used Lugols, that if when I'm trying to sleep at night I feel wired and have a fast pulse that I need to cut my dosage back. So I would do that if I were you, and keep cutting back until you don't feel that way at night. Even stop for a couple days is probably a good idea. Your body is probably saturated in iodine.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 That's not good advice, imo. Just because a practitioner uses Lugol's doesn't mean they are knowledgeable about the cutting edge info we have here on this list. I saw an Integrated Medicine MD and she was still terrified of iodine even though she prescribed it. If you're wired at night, only take your iodine in the morning. The wired feeling is because your body is finally getting what it needs to power its engine, the thyroid. A person WANTS and NEEDS that energy. Don't lower your dose, just take it first thing in the morning. YOur body will adjust and start utilizing the energy properly. Do some other sleep protocols for a while to get through your body's adjustment period. A warm (not too hot) cup of chamomile tea (steep 20 minutes) a few minutes before bed, 3 to 9mg of melatonin, a 1/2 cup of yogurt, a warm (not too hot) bath with 2 cups of epsom salts are all things to try, or a combination of them (and there are others). best wishes, -- At 12:00 PM 1/30/2011, you wrote: >Thank you Corry and mzookiej, >I understand it better now.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I just add it to my water. Seems to work for me. I add the salt and the C to my water bottles in the morning most days.
