I just ordered some from Swanson's ( my order was shipped today) and will be

trying it soon enough. I will post results.

Using Lugol's transdermally is a well-known use. We recommend that people

use it on their throats over the thyroid, particularly when cancer is

present. Others have used it and had good results with cystic breasts

lumps disappearing. For my own experience, a couple of months after

beginning the iodine protocol, with some external application along with

the internal, my breasts returned to normal after a flare of fibrocystic

issues.

However, external application is not a replacement for internal

supplementation, so continue the oral administration.

: While yes, poor digestion and intestinal health does impeded

nutritional uptake, the fact is that everyone should be taking large

amounts (25mg minimum, some are now saying that 50mg is the minimum

long-term supplement).

Thank you. Is Lugol's suitable for long term use at 50 mg/day ?

Yes, absolutely. Iodine doctors now say 50 mg. a day is the recommended minimum daily requirement. Kathleen

How many drops of Lugols would that be

equivalent to? I read that they should be “vertical” drops.

Depends on the strength of the Lugols.  Mine is 2.2% ... 1 drop equals 2.55 mg .. so do the math upward ... basically 20 dropsOn Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 8:15 PM, Lori@... <lori@...> wrote:

The problem is that there is an evaporation factor to using it transdermally so not as much is absorbed as can be ingested. I am not sure that it will make it "deep" into the tissues either. I think you can make better progress by ingesting - even with gut issues - to fully saturate the body.

Lugol's Trans-dermally

While following the thread on trans-dermal use of mag oil, it occurred to me that using Lugol's trans-dermally might be a good solution. In addition, many of us have compromised digestive systems and through the skin might be a more effective way to receive the Iodine. Modern nutrition and life has left many of us with compromised digestive systems and maybe thats why, for some, increasing the dosage is necessary. Does this make sense ?All of the best,

Steph,

Even with gut issues.. ok. I'll probably try both and see what happens. What you

say makes sense tho.

Thank you.

This is only true if the Lugol's is 5%. So that can never just be the

answer, it has to be qualified by the percentage strength of the

Lugol's. Here are some more numbers:

2 drops of 2% lugol's = 5mg

5 drops of 2% lugol's = 12.5mg

6 drops of 2% lugol's = 15mg

8 drops of 2% lugol's = 20mg

2 drops of 5% lugol's = 12.5mg

8 drops of 5% lugol's = 50mg

I mix Lugol with coconut oil. When I apply this mixture on the skin it seems to

be absorbed immediately.

Kathleen, do you have sources for this? I am not aware of any of the docs

experienced with iodine recommending such a high dose as a minimum.

[Guest guest]

It is not officially printed anywhere. It was something they discussed at the Iodine conference in California in 2007. They never said specifically that this was the amount - used to be 25 mgs. It was in discussion that we are bombarded with so many halides that they were beginning to believe that the new minimum *may be* 50 mgs / day as it seems most do best in their practices on at least 50 mgs / day.

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know where we might locate a conversion chart or formula so that we

can calculate the number of drops required to make a desired dosage? I'd like

to be able to figure it out. Also it appears that there are various opinions

which are VASTLY different.

If you have a conversion formula to share, please let us know where you got it.

Is it best to start off right at 50 mg?
