Very good info . I did find making my own lugol's very cheap and easy to make. For less then $50..00 I made 32oz of Lugols. I could not believe how easy it was to make.

Here is my most up-to-date post on companion supplements on a budget (plus Lugol's source on ebay). I hope that the links are all live, my email program doesn't handle URLs very well. If the link isn't live, just go to www.vitacost.com and put the name of the product into the search box. Then you'll get the info about it and you can compare it to your own preferred source. This is just an example of what is possible.

----------------------------

Someone asked about figuring out which companion nutrients to buy.

Below is my list of companions as an example of how little one can

spend to do the Iodine Protocol.

-----------------------------

You need the companion nutrients to help the iodine be used properly

in your body and to assist with detox. Below is a post I wrote up

that gives sources for things that I buy:

Vit C, Ester C: $18.85 for 90 days at 2000mg/day (minimum

requirement) Magnesium glycinate: $16.40 for 90 days worth at

400mg/day Se-Methyl-Selenocysteine: $9.00 for 100 days worth at

100mcg/day (min.) Real Salt unrefined salt: $5.69 for 26 ounces, 6

months worth

That totals out to be $49.94 for 3 months worth of the companion

nutrients, plus the unrefined salt will last for 6 months. That is

not expensive, although I understand that it can be hard to come up with the money to start with.

Vitacost, the supplier with these prices/products, has a flat

shipping fee of $4.99 for any amount. But if you buy over $49 worth,

shipping is free. So the above order (links below) would get free

shipping. I would suggest adding perhaps the liquid Vit D3 drops ($10), which is 900 doses of 2000IU D3, because it's such a great deal on D3. Anyway, just a

suggestion. I am big on finding the best deals.

--------------LIST-----------

Ester C is one of the best, most bioavailable Vit C to buy. It stays

in circulation in the body for 24 hours. It's $18.85 for 180 tablets

of 1000mg, which you'd take 2 a day for the minimum dose, so that's

90 days worth.

Here is the magnesium I am using right now-- mag glycinate does not

have the laxative effect that other forms of mag have. Two tablets

makes 400mg magnesium, which means the bottle is a 90-day supply.

You also need selenium and the methyl form is best. Here is an good

deal, it's 50 to 100 days' worth, depending on whether you take 1 or 2 caps a day:

http://www.vitacost.com/Life-Extension-Se-Methyl-Selenocysteine

You also need unrefined salt, and the

brand Real Salt is the least expensive in the USA. You can order that

at Vitacost

http://www.vitacost.com/Redmond-RealSalt-Natures-First-Sea-Salt-Fine-Salt

You can also buy Celtic Sea Salt from Vitacost, just search for it.

In addition to taking a certain amount each day, you and all your

family will use only unrefined salt in all your cooking. Also, if you

have detox symptoms, you will do what is called "salt loading" which

helps the body wash out the toxins that are causing the symptoms (can

be headaches, sleepiness, irritability, many things).

This is the best D3 that I have found-- cheapest by far and easiest

to take. It is simply D3 and olive oil, and 1 drop is 2000iu D3.

There are 900 drops in the bottle, for $10. Very easy for anyone to

take.

http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Liquid-Vitamin-D-Drops-2000-IU-900-serving

There is also a lower-dose drop for children, 900 servings of 400iu

for $9.00:

http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Baby-Ds-Liquid-Vitamin-D-Drops

So you need unrefined salt, magnesium, selenium, and Vitamin C, plus

the iodine source. Vit D3 is excellent to add because it's so

important for healing and health.

The least expensive source of

Lugol's (by far) is on ebay. Lugol's is almost impossible to find at

regular stores or pharmacies, and it's usually a lot more expensive.

This seller is trustworthy, I have bought from him.

Another trustworthy ebay seller of Lugol's is:

hope this helps,

,I'd like to add that I couldn't seem to get any of the liquid D3 supplements like Carlson's or NSI to work for me, but when I tried Life Extension brand D3 drops, for some reason, that did the trick and raised my D3 levels fairly quickly. It's a bit more pricey, but I just wanted to put that out there.

I love Vitacost, they are the best company to order from...fast, quick, and efficient.Thanks,TamaraOn Mon, Jan 2, 2012 at 4:27 AM, Baker <vbaker@...> wrote:
