Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 There are really no rules. Some people jump into taking 50mg right away and do just fine. Others find they are better off at lower doses. If you are sensitive or concerned you might be better off working your way up. It is different for everyone.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I don't know if you got an answer but there really aren't any hard and fast rules on when to increase dosage. It really is a trial and error. Iodine question Have been taking detoxified iodine. Just started lugol's iodine How long do you stay at 6.5ms before increasing?

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I have a question for the ones who take iodine. While I am not ruling out any form of healing, I’m confused. Aren’t you all taking other multiple things, such as Armour? How do you know that it is the iodine that is effective, and not the other things you are taking as well? Have you ever tried to stop the iodine while remaining on everything else? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I tried iodoral which is iodine/iodide just to see what it would do. It is powerful stuff--it does a lot! First 3 months I went through a lot of detoxing--now it makes me feel stronger and I can feel it on the cellular level. the right dose is very important, I consider 50mg to be the minimum. yes I tried reducing the iodine to 12.5mg/day and became very ill so went back to 50mg. I just can't imagine not taking it now. It feels like Armour only subtler. Gracia I have a question for the ones who take iodine. While I am not ruling out any form of healing, I'm confused.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 First off, yes I am taking a few things, and I was also doing that when I started Iodoral. After starting Iodoral many nice things happened that did not happenen while I was not on it. For example, my fibrocystic breasts completely normalized, some of my hair repigmented (from gray back to dark brown), most of my age spots went away, my rosacea cleared, my skin cleared up everywhere, some more of my missing hair grew back, etc...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Wow, rosacea too? I have that also.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I don't know, really. It was just something that happened after I was on Iodoral for a while. I was putting diluted Lugol's on the spider veins on my legs and they disappeared, so taking it internally might have worked on the ones on my face. I still have 2 or 3 little red veins still on my face, tho. But the majority of them are totally gone and I no longer have that odd rosy " glow " , just a normal glow.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I think about 2 or 3 months for legs. I only noticed my face when I actually paid attention but it was probably about the same amount of time for that, too.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Sam, if you could be so kind as to tell me exactly what you did, when and how, I think I would like to try it.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 For my face I just took 2 Iodoral pills twice a day along with 4 grams of vitamin C. I guess that was enough for " iodine nanobots " <grin> (that's what i call them - iodolipids or whatever they are called) to be formed so they could heal stuff. They say (whomever they are) that the healing starts frmo the inside out, so I was patient. I just thought it would be cool if my skin got all healed eventually...didn't think anything about my face (I used to cover that up with GROSS face powder and I totally hate wearing make-up). But for my legs someone, I think in the iodine group, mentioned something about painting the spider veins on her legs and watching those little buggers scurry away (jokingly), so I did that as well... I had some 5% Lugol's so I put a few drops in a bottle cap along with a few drops of distilled water and then took a toothpick and sort of traced my spider veins with it. After a while it got a little maddening so I used a little sea sponge (from the artist supply place, 'cause it was little and handy) instead of the toothpick/paintbrush. I'd just kind of do it while I was working online as an afterthought. Then one day I was cranking my head around to look at the worst bundle of spider veins I had (behind my knee and on the top part of my calf) so I could put some face makeup on them to hide them because I was having to wear stockings and a creepy skirt out in public (I am normally jeans and t-shirt all the way), and they were totally gone. Woo Hoo! Right now I'm trying it on those little red dots that sometimes appear on my skin. They look like teeny weeny little dinky freckles, but they are not. And I gogled them and they are absolutely nothing to be concerned over. So we'll see what Lugol's does for those little things...probably won't do a thing for them, tho. Ok, I gotta get back to work... Sam :-D > > > > > > > First off, yes I am taking a few things, and I was > > > > also doing that > > > > when I started Iodoral.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I use sea salt, they all say there is no iodine in it, but is it that they mean there is no added iodine? It's hard to believe something from the sea has no iodine....any ideas? Katy Brezger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Nope you are fine. Iodine actually helps hashi's. It's deficiency and toxicity that causes it.
