Re: --- recipe and instructions

[Guest guest]

Hi Tammy,

It is perfectly legal to buy the crystals. It's not true that it's not

legal. We have researched it and the law is clear. There are a lot of

myths and lies about iodine, even among enthusiasts. Sometimes people want

there to be more troubles than there really are.

Here is all the information I have about making your own. If you have

questions feel free to ask. If these instructions aren't clear enough, I

can write it up the way I did it. But you have to have a gram scale to

measure the crystals-- good ones are about $35.

==============================

These recipes are from /Israel:

I make my own Lugol's original formula (5%). 85ml distilled water mixed

with 10g postassium iodide (KI), then add 5g iodine crystals(I). It will

need to set in a covered container to allow all the crystals to dissolve.

Dose equivalent is 6.25mg/drop (vertical) when the iodine is in solution.

You will need a scale to measure with. Water weighs one gram/ml. Storage

period is indefinite with a properly sealed glass bottle. Rubber stoppered

bottles typically deteriorate within a year.

========================

Formula to make 5% Lugol's iodine one ounce batch:

2.84g KI

1.42g I

24.14ml HOH

=========================

Here is the method for making 5% Lugol's iodine (6.25 mg/drop) in a nutshell:

1. Obtain a clean, empty 1 quart container (with lid)

2. Fill about halfway with distilled water (RO water is also okay)

3. Put in 44 grams of elemental iodine crystal (you need a scale)

4. Stir with non-metal spoon (wood is okay).

5. Put in 88 grams of potassium iodide, and stir some more.

6. Fill jar to about 80% of capacity with distilled water.

7. Let it set overnight. If cap is metal, put waxed paper between it and

the jar; iodine attacks metal.

8. The next day, it is ready for use.

============================================

To prepare a 10% LUGOL'S SOLUTION, the ratios of the elements change

somewhat, since elemental iodine is not very soluble in water (it is more

soluble in alcohol). Thus, a higher percentage of KI is needed.

1. Put 118 ml (4 fl. oz.) of distilled water in a dark glass container.

2. Mix 33.7 grams (1.18 oz.) of potassium iodide into the solution prepared

in step one. Use a wooden or plastic spoon to stir--do not use metal! Stir

until completely mixed.

3. Add 16.9 grams of iodine crystals to the mix, being very careful not to

touch the iodine crystals--they can burn the skin. If you come into contact

with the iodine crystals, wash your hands immediately with plenty of water.

Stir with the wooden or plastic spoon, and cover with a non-metal cover.

Let it sit overnight.

In the morning, stir once more or shake the solution. You now have a 10%

Lugol's solution, which can be taken internally or externally. If you

choose to take the solution internally, note that the concentration is

approximately 25.5 mg/drop! (Assuming the drop size is such that 70 drops

make up 1 teaspoon).

==========================================

hope this helps,

Thanks ,

Here is the you tube video I saw. I'm curious for you tell me what you think.

Not illegal perhaps, but DEA restrictions or something???? All I know is I want

to make my own to save money. I'll use YOUR recipe lol. Thanks again!

There are DEA restrictions on liquid Lugol's, no more than 1 ounce of 5%

can be shipped to an individual at a time (unless purchased by MD

prescription). 2% Lugol's does not have that restriction, it may be more

like 4 oz or more. If the crystals are sold as specimens or for health

reasons it's ok to sell them. We looked this up very carefully, I don't

remember where it all is.

Just because someone says something forcefully or that it seems plausible

doesn't mean it's true. He may believe it is true, but he is misinformed.

In any case, you can buy the crystals from that source I already posted on

ebay.

Its because the druggies use it to make,...can't remember if its crack or

chrystal meth, that the DEA restricts its sale.When I started, went to

Walgreens, and had them order.$25-$30 for a 1/4 oz. bottle! Then found E-bay

site, ordered chrystals and powder to make my own, and ordered it, and bought a

gram scale at a 'head' shop.Then found (at that time) same source had it already

made up, 6 or 8 oz. bottle for like,...$6-8? So, ordered some of that.Still have

chrystals and powder, in case I run out. Jim
