Iodine and Potassium Iodide

[quote author= Gandolf]
I'm not sure if it is the best method. [/quote]

Why not? The lab sends you the vials to collect a 24 hour urine sample after you've loaded 50 mg, then you mail it back to them, they test it and give you your results, telling how much Iodine has been excreted. The samples maintain integrity for 4 days, so using overnight mail, the sample arrives at the lab and is tested, before any degradation occurs.

Dr. Brownstein does make the point that people whose Sodium Iodide Symporter system is not working right, will excrete Iodine, even though deficient. He uses the spot test and then the 24 hour collection to extrapolate how saturated the tissues are, as well as the overall health, pertinent symptoms, etc..

added: sample integrity is maintained for 30 days at room temp, 4 days at 37C and indefinitely if frozen.
 
My bottle says, 1 metric drop contains 2.2mg of iodine and 3.3mg of iodide. Total amount of elemental iodine: 5.54mg per drop.

Vit c supplement I take is 1000mg - 1 tablet per day.

I took a break of 3 days from lugol and my acne-like lesions cleared up. I got VERY tired though.

I re-started today with 6 drops (3% lugol, around 22 mg) and felt much better and energized. On the previous days, without the iodine, I had way too much brain fog.

I have no metallic taste nor sensitivities. Also, my menstrual cycle is back to normal this month.

I had 3 glasses of salted water and one of vitamin C, plus the cofactors, NAC, ALA and milk thistle.

I'll do 3-6 drops for awhile.

:)

Glad to hear you seem to have found a good dose:).

I lowered my dose to 22-25 mg and have been doing much better. I figured about half of that will cover the general iodine deficiency, and the other half will be used for more gentle detox than when on 50mg. My skin is slowly clearing up, including the lower body rashes that have plagued me for months, and the depression and dark thoughts have subsided, but I still feel like I am detoxing.

I could not find a reason in the book for warm salt water. Is this just a personal preference? I have been having it cold for years and grown to like the taste.
 
I've been experimenting with this protocol and thought I'd chime in with my experiences.

I started off slowly at 2 drops of the 10% solution per day for a couple of days. I felt energized at this dose. Then I bumped it up to 4 drops daily, then six drops daily. Symptoms I've had are mild to moderate headache, irritability/moodiness, excessive urination, ramped up dreaming activity and fatigue/need for more sleep, dry eyes, rash on lower back, and pain on my upper left foot. I increased to 8 drops 2x daily and only the headache, moodiness, fatigue and dreaming persisted. Like Luke, I have a salty taste between my teeth and gums (no fillings, mercury or otherwise). I do feel like I'm waterlogged and bloated even with increased water and salt water. I took Thanksgiving and the day after off of the iodine and still took the salt water and cofactors. The headache was gone after the two days off. Now I'm back to just doing 8 drops daily along with salt and cofactors. I feel a bit foggy headed with an increased need to pee today.
 
I had bought two bottles of Lugols from Heiltropfen Lab from Amazon but they don't have a seal! Probably going to return it, do not feel comfortable at all in using it. Can anyone recommend a good brand of Lugol in the USA? I think I might just go with the J Crow, at least it has a seal.

{Z, when you used Iodine and DMSO on your chalazion, did you dilute the DMSO with saline?}
No I used uncut 90%DMSO and Lugol 5% mixed 50/50.

It would sting for only few seconds, but I was very careful to gently dab the chalazion from the outside ( on the skin only)

I used undiluted DMSO for sports injuries and muscle pain without any consequences, the stinging sensation is very short lasting and not really unpleasant.

Eyes are swollen today and tender, and yesterday one tooth was throbbing. I went all the way down to one drop in the last two days, but perhaps the detox symptoms are a little delayed from when I was doing 4 drops a day.

My eyes are swollen too after 2 days.

I began the protocol:
nov.25 with 1/2 tea spoon of salt + 2 drops of Lugol (5%)+ vit. B and selenium and vit. C. One time a day
nov. 26 the same excepted I added one drop more of Lugol
nov. 27 at the morning only, I did the same and after one hour, my eyes are swollen and my kidneys were hurting 9/10. Muscles in my back too. Like a little crystal or a stone in my kidneys would like coming out!
So I took a diuretic (some herbs for the kidney) and a lot of vit C diring that day with many exercises for my back (gymnastic holistic).

Nov. 28 hurting 5/10 and I come back with 1/4 tea spoon of salt and two drops of Lugol, vit B, C and herbs for kidney with exercise to my back.
Nov. 29 back and kidneys were hurting 2/10 so I took 1/2 tea spoon of salt and 3 drops one a day vit a lot of vit C and little herbs for lymph and circulation. with exercise
Nov. 30 today, it's OK my eyes are just a little bit swollen and the muscles of my back and the kidneys are OK. I kept the same dosage as Nov. 29. I walked and worked today and I felt good with body's energy.

Tomorrow, I will try the same dosage at the morning + salt and one drop at the dinner. I will see the symptoms.
If I had the feeling that it was a kidneys'infection, I would have taken more drops of Lugol. It' s like the homeopathy for me.

Hi! Just happens that there are some different ways to measure the iodine content in lugol's solution. The example you write is g/g concentration while what I put was g/ml type concentration. There is also ambiguity if the % corresponds to the total iodine or only molecular iodine (I2). What I have seen is that the % in the bottle labels corresponds to iodine (I2) content not KI. For example a label of 5 % g/ml solution of lugol's have 5 grams of iodine (I2) and double amount of KI (10 g).
What is important is that whatever formula you choose to prepare the solution, (be g/g or g/v) you have a real measure of the mg of total iodine. As Laura said the % in not important but it is important that you use always the same solution prepared in the same way. If not then you can't have control of it.

In the case of water which has density of 1, 1 ml of water weighs 1 gram. I remember in school that is how they came up with the basics of the metric system- water!
So the formulas should be the same with water measured in grams or ml.

Hi! is not the case, because the definition of % in grams is (mass of iodine/mass of dissolution) x100. The mass of dissolution changes depending of the amount of iodine in it. It is not juss the mass of water. By that reason it is more simple to use % grams/ml where you divide by the ml of the disolution (which not change much with the addition of any solute). That's the source of the confusion here.
I will give an example: Suppose you disolve 5 g of KI in 100 ml of water:
% g/ml = (5 ml/100g)x 100 = 5 %
% g/g = (5 g/100 g +5g) x 100 = 4.76 %

But as you note there is little differences between them so there shouldn't be problem calculating it in both ways.

Good to know. Full strength DMSO with Lugol's for chalazion. Thanks! :cool2:
 
Just received 2 bottles (2 ounces each) of 5% Lugol's from Loudwolf Limited. $15 each- Really fast considering it shipped across the country. Etsy was the distributor. They even had an app for my phone that I could use to track the progress of the package. Didn't charge for shipping. Great reviews online. Looks to be quality product. I recommend them for US residents. They ship from Dublin, CA. Good experience all around.
 
I noticed that some people have trouble opening Dr. Brownstein's Ebook, so I ordered paperback from Amazon and still waiting book and all the supplements.
But I did some homework from reading this thread and this is reports.

Iodine supplement is necessary for the normal function of each and every cells in the body, but about 96% of people on the planet are iodine deficient.
Iodine can kill fungi, bacteria, viruses etc, and detox heavy metals from the body. And everyone need to detox bromines poison by contaminated water, foods, soft drinks, plastics, hot tub and swimming pool treatments found as an alternative to chlorine.
The salt containing Chloride- binds to the bromines/fluorines in the blood stream and carries it out through kidney.

But the most important reasons to consume iodine is because it is the fuel for endocrine system and the endocrine system is the root of spiritual power.

If person calcified from all the fluoride consume in drinking water and toothpaste, then can't activate pineal gland and become enlightened.

Session 21, November 2015.
Q: (L) ....The iodine removes cadmium, Mercury, lead, all kinds of metals from the body, it even cleans them out of the endocrine systems...it even removes the fluoride out of the pineal gland which is where it likes to live. Is that true? Does it do that?

A: Yes yes yes.

( nicklebleu ) It's usually said in terms of nuclear radiation or fallout that iodine is only good to protect the thyroid. Does it have other protective effects in this regard?

A: Protects all the glandular systems which are your interface with higher densities.

Iodine supplement is needed regularly to prevent deficiency, because there is no mechanism for conservation of iodine by the kidney.
But iodine needed companion nutrients to counter the detox of bromides, chlorine, fluoride, as well as block negative reactions to iodine.

Potassium iodide is helps keeping iodine levels in thyroid to proper balance and aids the body to detoxification, otherwise iodine alone can lead to hyper or hypothyroidism.

Laura said cofactors are Super important. They are,

1. 1/2 to 1 tsp of sea salt in a glass of water upon arising.

Session 21, November 2015.
A: What you are doing is good but you might want to increase the salted water and assist the liver.
A: It is good to start the day with a glass of warm salted water. Then you can take more a couple of hours after your iodine.
Q:(L) If you're taking 2 doses, you take 3 glass of salt water.
A: Yes.

2. 200 mg of B2( riboflavin ) per day. Can be taken in two doses with Lugol's.
3. 1000 mg of B3( Niacinamide ) taken in two doses with Lugol's .
4. 200 mcg selenium Once a day. With morning dose.
5. 3 to 5 grams of vitamin C - divide into two doses taken an hour after Lugol's.
6. 500 mg of magnesium- glycinate is excellent- taken at night.

High doses are required for a period of time for all the cells of the body to get "iodinated" can take 6 month at 50 mgs per day to achieve 90% saturation. Some people who are toxic can take years.

But if taking too much too quickly can lead to uncomfortable detox symptoms.
Every person will need to figure out the right dose for own body condition. It is safe to start slowly and build up gradually same time be aware possible side effects.

Normal healthy person maybe, just need to take Lugol's and B vitamins for maintenance.

Page 13 reply 180 by Laura
For conditions like autoimmune, chronic fatigue, disease states of all sorts, 75 to 100 mg per day, taken in two doses that would be 15 to 20 drops of 5% Lugols per day.
Take second dose no later than 4 pm.

Some case in life threatening diseases, need to zoom up iodine levels quickly.

Some unusual situation like the activation of a critter/microbe/virus infection that needs a definite smacking/nuking, go higher as to kill'em about 5 to 7 days in a row at most and then back off a bit.

List of my schedule

6am- Celtic Sea Salt in water.
8am- breakfast, multi vitamin.
10am- Lugols, B2, B3, selenium.
11am- vitamin C.
12noon- salted water.
1pm- lunch
3pm- Lugols, B2, B3.
4pm- vitamin C.
5pm- salted water.
6pm- dinner with apple cider vinega water.
8pm- magnesium glycinate.

Did it come with a seal? I know I'm just being paranoid but after taking MMS. I've become super paranoid of being poisoned or taking something that is poisonous accidentally.

I am thinking of buying from Pipingrocks.com, seems like a good/trustworthy brand here for the USA.

For now I have been taking 1-2 mg of Nascent a day but I think I am going to just start using the J Crow 5% bottle I have. Start with one drop and see how it goes.

I assumed it was because the salt dissolves faster in warm water. In cold it tends to sit at the bottom of the glass which makes the last gulp extra special. :cry:

No, he doesn't give a reason. But, I heard from a doctor once years ago that warm salt water that is about body temperature passes more quickly into the blood and doesn't shock the stomach.
