40-50 mg of Lugol's? really?

in curezone i reaad this:

40mg is not too much, especially in the early stages of detoxing and Iodine insufficiency. Dr. Brownstein recommends 50mg at minimum to keep pace with the bromide, fluoride and chloride in our environment and assaulting our bodies. It might be a good idea to add niacin (inositol hexanicotinate) to help absorption. If you start to experience difficulty sleeping and other hyper feelings, you might want to back off dosage. But from what I've read by Dr. B., no, 40mg Lugols isn't too much.


any feedback? im taking about 3-5 drops a day...is that too little?

I take more than that daily and I love it. The initial detox can be unpleasant but it gets better, and better, and better ....

Funnily enough, last night was the first time I ever took 40mg and it's the first time i've felt any reaction at all from taking iodine, felt like it was actually doing something.

thanks guys...

so probably my 5 drops a day isnt doing much and i should slowly increase.

is that how it works? each day or period of time, increase a few drops?

Hey Rob, the answer to this is to use your judgement while listening to your body. Do five drops, wait an hour, feeling nothing? Do another five, wait an hour, feeling nothing? Another five Drops ... rinse, dry, repeat until you get detox symptoms at which point you know you're on the right track.

If you suspect a substantial load of metals in your body you should go slower. Add one drop(or a few) every couple of days, because detox doesn't start right away and could be much to handle otherwise....

thanks guys!

what does a detox reaction feel like?

what are the symptoms?

How do you know if the feeling you get is one of "detox" or one of an adverse reaction to too much iodine?

Overdosing is hard to acomplish, especially when you gradually increase your dosage. It wouldn't make a difference though, if the symtoms(from bromide or iodine) are too heavy, you simply lower your dose or use pulsedosing, saltloading etc. Then you work your way up again and if you get the same reactions you repeat the cycle. If you eventually come to the conclusion that you're not able to increase your dose, in the long term for whatever reason, you simply settle for the amount you can tolerate.

I got headaches, felt sick, irritable, nothing major. Check out act reacts threads about his chelation journey, had some rough detoxes. Felt nothing from 40mg last night so trying 50mg tonight.

When i first started my Iodoral treatment i was on 50mg and got the expected bromide detox symptoms which i actually welcomed, however after 2 weeks i stopped getting them which makes me think i should increase my dosage to 100mg, i feel that it's way to early for me to be out of the woods with this treatment and i feel that i should push the dosage up to ensure I'm helping my body.

Coud someone post a link for where you buy Lugol's?

they say on my bottle 8 oz purified water per 1-2 drops I use more drops though sometimes and there's no difference. Adding a little raw apple cider vinegar 1-2 tsp, or more to the water really masks the taste well and they even recommend it on the bottle.

Thanks, nobody wants to drink that much water huh?
Why do you need acv, does your sski got any flavor?

yeah I don't like taking that much water I could just drink a larger amount over time I like it in 2 big gulps though. Yes the sski does have a little flavor can get strong actually putting 10 drops in w/o is very obvious. The cider masks it real well I'd imagine other things could work well also lemon juice,or whatever.

If the cider has any vitamin C in it your Iodine in the lugol's is being converted to Iodide. Keep in mind.

He was referring to iodide, I was confused too because of the flavor part. Actually I miss the taste of iosol, now that I got used to it

AR, I know you had mentioned a while back that we should be taking our iodine and minerals with ACV/lemon juice or anything acidic. Do you still think this is necessary? Or will it change the effects?

Also, are you still taking a multimineral? I've been taking ConcenTrace but haven't noticed any drastic difference. The stuff tastes awful btw hah

this is a great question! can iodine be taken with things like ACV?

btw, im up to about 100 mg of iugol's! i been loading up and so far..i FEEL great!!

CS: is potassium iodate safe and as effective? What is the difference between this one and iodine?

Of course you can, but ascrobic acid will transform iodine inot iodide........the iodide is stored in the thyroid and when needed transformed back to iodine. Again if you take lugol's for the iodine, ascorbic acid should be avoided-if you want iodide take it with ascorbic acid!
