* ATTENTION STEPHANIE: Re: L.P.'s - Lugol's ingredient question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Can we CLEAR THIS UP in simplicity then for ALL on board?

In short, we have five forms of iodine (some form of iodine at any rate) from

what I can gather:

1. Iodoral

2. Lugol's

3. SSKI

4. Tincture of Iodine

5. Betadine

Now, while there may be another Brand Name out there which is essentially

Iodoral WITH added B vitamins, etc. - let's just say that the five above forms

are IT - unless I stand corrected!

That being said, and again, to SIMPLIFY matters for ALL concerned,

IS IT TRUE that: ONLY #1 (Iodoral) AND #2 (Lugol's - a water based iodine) are

the ONLY TWO SAFE TO ORALLY INGEST?

Hopefully, the correct answer here will be of benefit to many here,

myself included.

Thank you, Trisha

No this is not correct. There are a few more options.

1. Magnascent (Edgar Cayce)2. Detoxified Iodine3. Iosol4. Pure Encapsulations, Biotics Research and many more have thier own proprietary blends of ioidne / postassium iodide / and other nutrients

It isn't as cut and dried as you are trying to make this. Many companies are realizing the need and the opportunity for selling iodine in the market place and they are all trying to distinguish themselves as the best option.

Now, while there may be another Brand Name out there which is essentially Iodoral WITH added B vitamins, etc. - let's just say that the five above forms are IT - unless I stand corrected!I think I may understand what you are saying - so no Magnascent and Detoxified are two more forms of iodide only but "electrified" which you will need to read up on www.iodinesource.com is where detoxified is listed. You can google Magnascent to get to their website.

That being said, and again, to SIMPLIFY matters for ALL concerned,IS IT TRUE that: ONLY #1 (Iodoral) AND #2 (Lugol's - a water based iodine) are the ONLY TWO SAFE TO ORALLY INGEST?No - only betadine and tinctures are dangerous to consume

Hi Trisha,

If you read Commonly Asked Questions in the FILES you would have seen that # 1 is Forms of Iodine ( these are some that can be ingested orally). A lot of work went into creating the New Members doc. which includes the Commonly Asked Questions. If you take the time to read what we have prepared there, it will save you a lot of time and answer many of your questions that you have been posting here. Please do so; read all you can.

Thank you so much for your very clear, concise information! Kathleen

* ATTENTION STEPHANIE: Re: L.P.'s - Lugol's ingredient question

Actually, as the companion documents (drafted to be helpful for all on board) make clear, there are a fair number of iodine formulations, liquid and solid (pill form). The main ingested forms used by people on this board are Lugol's (liquid) and Iodoral (a tablet formulation of Lugol's compound of iodine and potassium iodide). Lugol's can also be applied topically, that is, painted on the skin for a local problem. SSKI is a liquid which can also be taken internally or painted topically, but is not in general use here since it doesn't contain free elemental iodine, only potassium iodide, and this board considers use of both to be optimal. Tinctures of any kind, commercially prepared, are usually made with nonpotable alcohol and are usually labelled as being for topical use ONLY DO NOT INGEST. The alcohol is used only as a solvent; it vaporizes quickly on the skin and vanishes leaving negligible traces which are deemed a non-risk. Since tincture of iodine contains only iodine and not potassium iodine it does not contain the two ingredients the board considers optimal and usually is not considered here. Betadine, povidone iodine, and similar proprietary products are commercial surgical cleaner/skin disinfectants. They contain surfactants and other ingredients, relatively little iodine, a great deal of water, and are essentially useless for our purposes beyond the use for which they are specifically manufactured, at which they are very good. I suggest reading the companion documents, then branching out to the links, etc. -- they're what the board is all about.One last point: Lugol's is called Lugol's not because it's a proprietary name, but because the specific proportions of iodine to potassium iodide and water were formulated by the French chemist Lugol in his reagent work. Anyone can produce that formula; people tend to call it Lugol's for convenience, but that's all it is, is a handle. It's produced in various percentage strengths, so know what you're getting when you go looking for it, or stick with pills, which don't vary.> >> > Hello L.P.> > Yes of course it is perfectly fine to ingest Lugol's!

Hi Trish,

Hi ,Since you did not include the preceding post, I don’t know what you are referring to in your post. Can you repost with the post to which you are referring? Donna in ILIodizyme HP Some of us are taking it.

[Guest guest]

Since I take Lugols, is ONE DROP sufficient? How do you know how much (how many drops ) to take? I just did research on Iodine and chose Lugols. The company I ordered it from did include paperwork on Lugols and how much to take, but I have misplaced it ;-( I can call them though. My question is: Is there a *Standard* dose in regard to taking Iodine orally, specifically Lugols?

Thanks to everyone for ALL your knowledge and help :-)

Hello L.P.

Read the Commonly Asked Questions in our FILES. #2 talks about dosage. You really need to read the New Member doc., and Commonly Asked Questions. A lot of work has gone into preparing that document. You will learn much there. Read all you can in our files, and then if you still have questions, please ask. Best, Katheen

Do you know what percentage solution it is? That will tell you what mg dosage it is.
