newbie question, ready to get started

[Guest guest]

Our Lugol's arrived today. I bought the 2% just to get started, and we plan to

take four drops for adults, and one to two for my 6 year old. It doesn't taste

like anything in water! Surprising!

I was looking through the frequently asked questions file, and there are a few

articles/emails listed that talk about adverse effects like iodine induced

hyperthyroidism, that the thyroid can temporarily shut down, etc. That has me

freaked out. Can anyone reassure me?

None of us have any known health or thyroid issues, except my son has autism and

it's possible he is hypo thyroid. Is it positively safe that we are doing this

on our own?

Thankyou!
