from Alpha Omega. That is good to know. Do you know how a person figures out

Hi Jeannie,I was able to find the answer to your question pretty quick. Here is the info had, previously, sent out on recipes and calculating strengths ...............______________________________________________________These recipes are from /Israel:

I make my own Lugol's original formula (5%). 85ml distilled water mixed

with 10g postassium iodide (KI), then add 5g iodine crystals(I). It will

need to set in a covered container to allow all the crystals to dissolve.

Dose equivalent is 6.25mg/drop (vertical) when the iodine is in solution.

You will need a scale to measure with. Water weighs one gram/ml. Storage

period is indefinite with a properly sealed glass bottle. Rubber stoppered

bottles typically deteriorate within a year.

========================

Formula to make 5% Lugol's iodine one ounce batch:

2.84g KI

1.42g I

24.14ml HOH

=========================

Here is the method for making 5% Lugol's iodine (6.25 mg/drop) in a nutshell:

1. Obtain a clean, empty 1 quart container (with lid)

2. Fill about halfway with distilled water (RO water is also okay)

3. Put in 44 grams of elemental iodine crystal (you need a scale)

4. Stir with non-metal spoon (wood is okay).

5. Put in 88 grams of potassium iodide, and stir some more.

6. Fill jar to about 80% of capacity with distilled water.

7. Let it set overnight. If cap is metal, put waxed paper between it and

the jar; iodine attacks metal.

8. The next day, it is ready for use.

============================================

To prepare a 10% LUGOL'S SOLUTION, the ratios of the elements change

somewhat, since elemental iodine is not very soluble in water (it is more

soluble in alcohol). Thus, a higher percentage of KI is needed.

1. Put 118 ml (4 fl. oz.) of distilled water in a dark glass container.

2. Mix 33.7 grams (1.18 oz.) of potassium iodide into the solution prepared

in step one. Use a wooden or plastic spoon to stir--do not use metal! Stir

until completely mixed.

3. Add 16.9 grams of iodine crystals to the mix, being very careful not to

touch the iodine crystals--they can burn the skin. If you come into contact

with the iodine crystals, wash your hands immediately with plenty of water.

Stir with the wooden or plastic spoon, and cover with a non-metal cover.

Let it sit overnight.

In the morning, stir once more or shake the solution. You now have a 10%

Lugol's solution, which can be taken internally or externally. If you

choose to take the solution internally, note that the concentration is

approximately 25.5 mg/drop! (Assuming the drop size is such that 70 drops

make up 1 teaspoon).

Note that the iodine concentrations posted on www.altcancer.com are

non-standard; they are including the potassium iodide in the percent

calculation. The standard Lugol's solution of 5% means that there is 5%

elemental iodine in the solution and the iodide is not considered. However,

when you calculate the mg/drop of iodine, the iodide is taken into account.

To do this, note that iodide is 0.769 times the total KI present, the ratio

of atomic weights of iodine to potassium. Then, [i + KI(0.769)]/ml = the

concentration of iodine. So when the altcancer folks talk about 15%

Lugol's solution, it is really only about 7% according to conventional

calculations. Their products are good, including the iodine, but be aware

of the inflated percentages.

Proof that the 10% Lugols solution described above is truly 10%:

16.9 gr/(16.9 gr + 33.7 gr + 118 ml) = 0.10 or (10 %) A similar calculation

can be performed for the strong iodine tincture.

Hi Again,I just got off the phone with Sara (in Abaco's shipping department) and she said even though it is 'very very rare'that stuff gets confiscated, and has never known iodine to be confiscated they still can't assume the responsibility.I wanted to order 3 bottles of the 16 oz Lugols and she saidshe calculated the shipping costs to be over $50. But since the order is over $100 but over the 1k (that gets you free shipping)that they would only cover/credit 10% of the cost of the whole ordertowards shipping..... which would reduce the cost of my shippingto $45. SO ... in the end I would have to assume the responsibility of, not only the product @ $120., but also the shipping of $45.SO ..... I think this settles it........... I'll be making it

Jaqueline,

I've read this post for the first time, and all the history isn't

here, so I'm sorry if what I'm about to say is a repeat or

irrelevant -- but on the off chance that it's helpful:

I'm surprised at your wanting to order such a huge amount, but

perhaps it's only 2% you're talking about, and maybe for more than

one person.  Anyway, making it yourself would always be the

cheapest, but if you would prefer to buy, here's a source of 5% at

very reasonable rates, you can order as much as you want, and there

are no warnings about customs that I ever saw.  (This place is in

Canada.)

Hi ,THNX for taking the time to share your info.YES, I wanted a bottle for my mom, one for my sister and one for me. And then we can all share with family and friends. And I prefer to have plenty on hand ....especially when I can't just run to the store to buy it.I calculated that making 32 oz of lugols would cost approx $50. And I would end up with leftover ingredients. So, I think that's what I'm going to do this time around.Maybe by the next time I need to reorder I'll have found something local.THNX again!

I got my 15% Lugol's today, from Ecuador. No problem. I did have to sign for it.

WRT the lid, make sure it not metal. Iodine will corrode metal. You can put a

piece of plastic wrap over the bottle before putting on the lid. Store the

iodine in a dark place. I am going to put mine in a small cooler in the

basement. I do have an amber jar but I do want to be cautious. I got a bunch of

amber 2 oz bottles with droppers to give iodine to friends. I am making 7%

Lugol's. Still waiting for the iodine crystals to arrive. I read that it is the

potassium iodide that allows the iodine crystals to dissolve, otherwise they

don't dissolve in water.

Peace & gratitude, Dean

Is there a reliable vendor for the iodine crystals?

This is my first purchase.

It seems I need twice as many grams of KI as I2?
