Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ben, sorry to hear about the cancer, good luck with it. You can make your own Lugol's and it's far cheaper, that's what my husband and I do. Unfortunately, my computer went crazy and I don't have the URLs handy for ordering. But you can buy the potassium iodide (SSKI) from an aquarium store - it's the same good quality but cheaper. The iodine you'll have to buy at another place that I don't have handy. I'll check with my husband, he has the info. We blend it together and it's the same thing as Lugol's. It costs like $30 a year for a huge supply that way.

This isn't mentioned in the iodine protocol, is this needed or something the website is just trying to up-sell? To my knowledge my thyroid is ok, but the site said most people have a deficiency.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Many of us with clear symptoms of hypothyroidism still test OK, & can't get docs to prescribe us thyroid meds. Some docs are saying that this is because various environmental toxins skew the test results. This would suggest that many people who think their thyroids are OK are wrong.AnneOn Jun 13, 2011, at 12:48 PM, Ben Roche wrote: Hey Guys, I have read lots about people saying their lugols is allot cheaper than Idoral.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I pay about $40.00 Cdn for crystals that make enough 5% to last our family months. I've only made one batch so far and we have lots left. We use about 160mg/day among the lot of us. So I'd say the crystals are a better deal.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 If you want to achieve that level of supplementation I would suggest buying potassium iodide crystals and making your own SSKI. You can find the crystals on ebay. I bought mine from a seller called the full orchestra. I have read others on here have dealt with him as well.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 You do realize that Lugol's has both SSKI & iodine?
