Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi everyone, First of all, I wish to thank all of you who have been posting here regarding the benefits of Iodine. I have been wanting to supplement with Iodine for years but never could find a source. I do not live in the States. When I finally got my hand on some Iodine, (cost me 50$ for a 2 oz bottle of 2% Lugol's), I realized that I must use it sparingly to make it last a while. I have been using 5 drops a day since 6th of March which equals 12.5 mg of iodine. How long will it take to see the effects of it? I am not taking any accompanying nutrients except my multis... I have PCOS but of late my menstrual periods have become regular (every 30 days instead of 60-90 days)due to some naturopathic protocol I had followed. I gained back the 25 pounds I lost during the protocol and need to lose it again. I have intense cravings for chocolate, sugar and carbs... and suffer from depression , lack of motivation and lethargy. Also my hair started graying at 23 and became rough and coarse since. I am hoping desperately for the mental symptoms to get resolved with Iodine.. Also I am hoping for weight loss and the facial hair due to the PCOS to go away. I had been having severe hip and joint pain in the lower body as well as lower back which seems to have mysteriously disappeared since I took the first does of Lugols? Coincidence or the effects of Iodine? I really would like to hear back frm some of you on the average time it took for ur health to start improving from the start of supplementation. Also is there anyone else having success with just 12.5 mg>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
