iodine+iodide (Iodoral) or just iodine (Iosol)?

I am watching a lecture by Dr. David Brownstein "Iodine the most misunderstood nutrient" .. you can get it via bit torrent here http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Iodine-The-Most-Misunderstood-Nutrient/3952ad34874320d635ff929696349f4cbe07aeb2fe59

Dr Brownstein says to take both iodine and iodide for better results.

I take Iosol which is only iodine and would like to know if I should use Lugols or Iodoral instead.

Are there other good supplements for iodine?

Thanks

I've used Iodoral for a couple of months during my initial time posting on this site in the spring of 2010, and it was good, but I found liquid Iodine's to be better ... might just be me, or the initial detox phase I was in ... I just prefer Iodine and Vit c.

Iosol is a mixture of Iodine AND Iodide.

There is only a very tiny amount of iodide in it and not in the form of ki but from ammonium idoide. Doesn't really matter since the body transforms iodine to iodide and the other way around as it needs....
I like iosol for topical application, it doesn't stain like lugols and is not as harsh! If I wanted a pure iodine supplement I'd go with magnascent though.

Guys, any idea where to get SSKI in Canada? there's no problems getting Lugols here, but I see on curezone that they have a concentrated about, like 25mg = 1 drop, it would be much easier to take.

I am taking 15 drops now with water on empty stomach + 200mcg selenium + 400mg magnesium + 15mg zinc + 3000mg of vitamin c, I noticed lugols becomes quite harsh and I realized tha 2 drops of SSKI would be equivalent to what I am taking using lugols..

I also noticed that I have developed some hard pimples on my forehead, which are painful and cannot be squizzed...

Thanks!

According to the video I mentioned above the body cannot convert iodine to iodide, and SSKI is not recommended by Dr Brownstein.

I find Iodoral to be a bit pricey

Ok, so you would just stick to the 5% lugols?

These pimples are a sign of bromine detox i believe, common.

Iosol, if the manufacturer didn't lie to me, is 50% Iodine and 50% Iodide.

Best deal I've -ever- seen on Iodine is Lugol's from Xenex labs, can be purchased at London Drugs and Save On Foods in Canada, not sure about the East Coast as I've never seen either of those stors that far towards Europe.

Ten Bucks for 100ml!!!

If that is true it'd be great.. the label says iodine though... hmm , it is pretty soluble in water and i heard that pure iodine is not very soluble so maybe it does have potassium iodide to make it soluble.

wow, thats a good deal, 5% lugols is around 16$ in quebec... do you have to pre-order? or they normally have it in stock?
the ones who are taking lugols, how many drops a day do you do ? i presume for maintenance?

Dosage depends on the individual, I don't measure, I just let my body tell me what to take ... but yeah, awesome deal!
Also, only took two days to have it ship!

Ok, so you have them ship it to you... that's nice.

To ship to the store I mean, still have to go pick it up.

teacup,

thanks, i wonder why their label doesnt mention glycerine or iodide..
and would the glycerin effect absorption of the iodine/iodide?

Iodide is listed under 'other ingridients', what I read on forums including this one, it's thought to be a more or less pure iodine supplement.

I just sent the manufacturer an email.

I watched the documentary, its pretty impressive, its these other youtube publications by some odd MD's who say that supplementing will result in hashimotos, the mainstream tries to keep ppl sick in order to treat them with their made meds I guess. Pharma makes $$$

My last lab results were, slightly elevated LDL and triglycerides. Aside that everything was normal.

Dr. Brownstein mentioned that vegetarians / vegans are more deficient then others, and I have been vegetarian for nearly 7 years.

I started taking:

* Lugols with all the needed nutrients
* Vitamin c + proline + lysine

and the IH top supplements

Hopefully my future blood readings will look better in terms of cholesterol

IS IOSOL AS EFFECTIVE AS LUGOL'S OR NOT? I AM NOT STILL CLEAR ON THIS... SINCE WE POTASSIUM IODIDE DO WE NEED TO GO W. LUGOLS OR IS IOSOL OKAY?

I don't know of benefits over lugols, than maybe less harsh detox reactions in some people and no stain when applied toically....

Hey, I just found out that vertical drops are not equal to horizontal... and I noticed big detox from horizontal lol.

1 vertical drop = 6 mg
1 horizontal drop = 12 mg

So I was doing 15 horizontal drops for the past few days... and developed quite a detox I guess I should back down to vertical.

IOSOL WILL PROVIDE IODIDE THRU CONVERTING THE IODINE TO IODIDE??? THUS DO WE GET IODIDE FROM IOSOL? OR DO WE NEED A SEPARATE SUPPLEMENT FOR IODIDE? THANK YOU

Just get lugols, its stronger per drop and the cost is cheaper...and you get both iodine and iodide.
