Lugol's?

[Guest guest]

I've read so much about this that I would love to try it. For my

Hypothyroidism, somewhat fibrocystic breasts, Estrogen balance (I

think!) all around health. I surely don't think it would HURT. But

from what I can find out it is a script only? True? Where the heck

can I get it otherwise? TIA

No, Lugol's is not Rx. Neither is the pill form of Lugol's 'Iodoral'.

I think jcrows.com is one of the last few places you can get it online.

At some Canadian superstore pharmacies, they have it.

Also, I get my Iodoral over the counter from my Naturopath (soon to be ex ND),

and it does seem to be available from a number of naturopaths, at least in my area.

Here's something interesting stuff about iodine:

To know for sure if you need it, try an iodine loading test.

However, hypOthyroidism and fibrocystic breats are definite symptoms that

do point to iodine deficiency. I have no thryoid, and had fibrocystic breasts,

and my loading test showed me to be hugely iodine deficient. I'm been on

50mg Iodoral (8 drops of Lugol's) since Oct. Re-tested and I'm 1/3 improved.

Breasts seem to be over the fibro. When I'm Iodine sufficient, I will drop down

to 12.5mg (1 pill, or 2 drops Lugol's).
