Guest guest Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi , If I remember correctly, your prescription is postassium iodide (only). Lugol's has both potassium iodide and potassium iodine, so for total health, Lugol's is better.... To protect thyroid only and especially from nuclear iodine-131, your prescription was all that was needed for this.. The dose of 1 drop, 3 x weekly is for healthy folks, this is just to keep the body supplied with iodine/iodide. I always use ACV 1/2 hr before meals or when I take Lugol's.... ACV actually causes the body to produce more hydrochloric acid, aka stomach acid, so taking it 1/2 hr before meals helps with digestion of proteins, also helps kill pathogens in the stomach. Dr. Brownstein (MD) who uses Lugol's extensively in his practice believes we should consume far more than the 150 mcg RDA, more like 12 mg daily, 2 drops of 5% is 12.5 mg... Reason, the Japanese eat a lot of seafood/seewead and have a daily iodine intake of 13.8 mg daily from food and they are healthier than us... He further states that many may require daily doses of 6 - 50 mg of which he does prescribe in his practice... Do you have 2% or 5% Lugol's? If 2%, then 2.5 drops of it equals 1 drop of 5% which is 6.25 mg of iodine/iodide. For disease, even higher doses are necessary... I don't know the amount for different disease, but Dr. Orion Truss MD who devoted his practice to treating Candida with Lugol's, used 6 drops, 4 x daily... BUT, I believe this was before " bromides " were used in bread and baked goods, back when iodine was used, thus he didn't have to contend with detoxing out the bromides, which is done when we take Lugol's... When iodine leaves the body, bromides attach to the iodine receptors... When we start taking iodine again, it detoxes the bromides which is a toxin... I am finding that 4 drops, 4 x daily was too much as I now am sure I was detoxing bromides and I've heard this can present with a wicked herx, it was... So, probably as much slower scaling up for Candida and even other disease.. Yes, taking Lugol's at least 2 hours after using MMS is good, MMS is all used up by 2 hours... I am not sure though how long you have to wait to take MMS after taking Lugol's... I would take Lugol's last thing at night, start MMS in the morning... This only pertains to MMS1, not MMS2. Walter Last, ND recognizes Lugol's second best only to MMS! So both are very health for good health... The huge benefit of Lugol's is it has both iodide and iodine in it, thyroid and skin use iodide, other organs use iodine, some also can use iodide... But this way, all organs in the body are protected... Just be careful, when you add in Lugol's to your MMS regiment, both are pathogen killers and may present with a more intense herx... Go slow with the Lugol's, you should be okay... Take care, Jim > > Hey Jim, > Well I was cleaning out my supps and came across my 3 bottles of Lugol's I'd ordered after the Japan Tsunami. I thought, " Maybe I should switch to Lugols over my prescription iodine? " So, I opened up the package and it also contained a book, " Folk Medicine " by DC Jarvis, MD. > > I opened to the chapter on Lugols and he recommends taking 1 drop/3x/week if you are <150lbs and 2 drops/3x/week if you are >150 lbs. He says to mix it 1-3 teaspoons of ACV and drink with a meal. > > (He has some great veterinary info BTW) > > He says the acid helps our bodies absorb the iodine. Here's my questions: > > 1. Is this the right dosage? He is not addresses disease dosage. > 2. If the iodine likes an acid environment would it be ok to take with MMS? > > I've been taking my iodine at bedtime, apart from MMS because if MMS is a heavy metal destroyer I don't want it chelating my iodine. I've also been taking 6 drops and no symptoms of overdose. > > Seems like the ACV is a great idea, with a meal, better digestion, etc. > > He says you'll know when you are getting too much because your sinuses will get moist. The way he describes it for horses, cows and dogs (along with the vinegar) it sounds like a natural pesticide - he didn't comment on tics though, only fleas, grubs, maggots, etc. > > Best, > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 OK, I'll just ramp up slowly. Since it is a mineral, I'm wondering about the necessity to multi dose iodine during the day. Not that somebody shouldn't, but it wouldn't work with MMS that's for sure. What about transdermal?Happy Memorial Day, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi , The problem with transdermal Lugol's, some of it evaporates, not all of it gets into the body... If you are going to take small amounts, an AM and PM dose is all that is necessary.. That is what I did up to 4 drops of 5%... When I went to 16 drops, I went to 4 times daily, 4 drops each...

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 So at 4x/day with Lugol's are you doing that at the same time as MMS?

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hi all,I've been researching Lugol's but can't seem to figure out - do I buy it or make it myself? It seems I should be able to find the ingredients in Nicaragua if I look hard enough -- Mauldin de BaldovinosCasa Ariki - San del Surwww.facebook.com/Ariki.San So at 4x/day with Lugol's are you doing that at the same time as MMS?
