* ATTENTION: STEPHANIE, Re: Lugol's and Optimal Concentration!

[Guest guest]

Yes, it's very sad, especially when you have children BORN with the outcome of

Iodine deficiency. Lots of people do things for their children to ensure their

health and are completely missing out on Iodine. I can't understand giving

known and unknown poisons though and thinking it is good. Never will either.

I too have been looking at people with bulging eyes and thinking, is this

Hashi's? I wish I could share with them, but I pretty much know I will be taken

as a kook. I need your kids to train me to see a Goiter, I haven't yet hehehe.

So why not mention people like Szent-Gyorgyi in your new member doc and how much

one could POSSIBLY take based on the past? Especially when that person was

intelligent enough to discover Vit C and win a Nobel prize? By the way, thanks

so much for that document, I spread it everywhere (hope you don't mind!)

iodine but it is up to the individual to decide what they are going to do. This

applies to anything - know the source and understand what you are getting when

you buy. Just because it is labeled Lugol's doesn't mean that it is the *real*

stuff.

Iodine. The 5% solution consists of 5% (wt/v) iodine (I2) and 10% (wt/v)

potassium iodide (KI) mixed in distilled water and has a total iodine content of

130 mg/mL.[2] Potassium iodide renders the elementary iodine soluble in water

through the formation of the triiodide (I & #8722; & #8232;3) ion. It is not to be

confused with tincture of iodine solutions, which consist of elemental iodine,

and iodide salts dissolved in water and alcohol. Lugol's solution contains no

alcohol.
