Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi Shauna: I started off at 1 drop of 5% Lugol’s (6.25 mg) per day for one week and precisely one week later, I added a 2nd drop. On the 3rd week (and always on the same day) I added another drop and by the time I got to week 3 (and 3 drops daily) I started to notice an improvement. I am the type of weird person that does things in a SPECIFIC order. I started on a Friday and every Friday I added another drop and KEPT NOTES because I wanted to help others. It took longer but I had NO DETOX that way, whether that’s good or not, I don’t know. So week 3 showed a small improvement in digestion and I noticed it. So that would be about 18 mg. So by week 8 and 50 mg. (8 drops) all my gut problems were gone and I was off Diabetic meds. Because of No Motility in my Gut, I will continue to have fermentation (food rotting because it isn’t moving) and because of that I will HAVE to take Iodine forever. I continued on and am now at 100 mg. daily (16 drops) and not sure if I will increase that amount or not. I also have MOLD living in my gut and have to stay on a low carb diet. I’ve already had so many benefits, what else could there be to work on?

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks, Bonnie. It's really wise of you to keep close track and be so organized about the implementation of these things, and very helpful! I'm at about 37mg/day right now, and doing comparatively well the last few days with regards to gastro issues, but the real test will come once I'm in the second half of my monthly cycle, when all these symptoms typically worsen. I'll keep gradually upping the dose. I hope you can find a way to help the lack of gut motility!

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 thank you soooo much bonnie. you are an INSPIRATION to many of us. woo hoo!!!!! because of this board, the rosacea board and the thyroid board, i decided to start taking acidophilus and probiotics more than once a day. since i've been doing that -- it's been about a month now, i am pretty much totally OFF of prilosec [which i've been on since January of 2006]. for the 50+ years before starting prilosec i was in extreme gastro-intestinal distress, so i really needed to be on it every day for all that time. i have also mentioned to my ND on numerous occasions, that since starting the iodoral i noticed a marked improvement in my gastro-intestinal problems, which started me on the journey to ever so gradually wean myself off of prilosec.
