Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Thanks. Would Lugols Iodine suffice as a supplementation? And if so at what dosages does one begin and is the dose time specific?

However, even though hyperthyroidism is often caused by iodine deficiency, a hyperthyroid person has to be very careful in supplementing with it, because it can initially exacerbate hyperthyroid symptoms. I would suggest one drop every several days and observe what happens. If symptoms are tolerable, gradually increase to one drop every day, and then multiple drops every day. Dr. Derry says one drop is 6.5 mg. of iodine/iodide. Dr. Brownstein and Dr. Guy Abraham advocate doing an urinary iodine loading test (through Flechas Family Practice) initially to assess if a person is iodine deficient. If deficient, they advocate taking 50 mg. of Lugol's Solution (or Iodoral) daily for 3 months, and then retesting. The timing of iodine supplementation is pretty relaxed. It's recommended to split the 50 mg. into at least two daily doses. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I don't know - perhaps you could refer to one of Hulda 's books. I just take about 6 drops in a glass of water. However, I plan on ordering the tablets. Perhaps there will be some way I can convert the tablet dosage to the liquid Lugols. I'll let ya know when I receive the tablets.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 The local pharmacies up here told me that they do not have Lugol's available in a water base. I think that somebody once gave me a source for this but I don't know what happened to it if they did. I just Googled and didn't come up with much. Where are folks getting the Lugol's tht is not in an alcohol base?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Inga - The Lugol's that I have is 2 Fluid Ounces in a dark brown bottle. I got it from www.drclark.net. It is distributed by Dr. Research Assoc. Dr. 's book, A cure For All Cancers, on page 601 states that you can make your own (or ask the pharmacy to make for you). Dr. feels that it is too dangerous to buy a commercially (like over the counter) prepared solution because it is certain to be polluted with isopropyl alcohol or wood alcohol. Either the pharmacist or you are to make from scratch (not have pharmacy order for you). The recipe to make 1 liter is: 44 gm (1-1/2 ounces) iodine, granular 88 gm (3 ounces) potassium iodide, granular Dissolve the potassium iodide in about a pint of the water (supply pharmacist something like FIGI water for MHO). Then add the iodine crystals and wait until it is all dissolved. This could take a few hours with frequent shaking. Fill to the LITER mark with water. Keep out of sight and reach of children. Do NOT use if allergic to iodine. Hulda says to be careful to avoid bottled water for preparation. However, I think she has recanted this advise. She would probably want you to use distilled water or RO water, though. Maybe the water should have no other minerals in it - like mineral water has. Also, plastic bottles can put some kind of plastic toxin into water. So I really don't know what type of water or where she thinks someone should obtain pristine water that hasn't been in a bottle. I have a 5-stage RO (reverse osmosis) drinking water system - but even it can have put toxins into the water according to Hulda . Maybe just catch yourself some acid rain?!?!? LOL PS: My bottle does not have any unit of measurement on it. It just says to put 10 drops on a sterile gauze to disinfect wounds or as needed. Doris If 1 drop of Lugols Iodine = 6.5mg of iodine then you should use 7-8 drops/day to get 50mg per day. That would equate to 4 drops in the morning and 4 drops in the evening. Right? It would be a very cheap way to supplement and a bottle of Lugol's is cheap and goes on forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
