The patch test while not totally scientific can give you an idea of your iodine

levels. Just paint some on somewhere it wont rub off and see how long it lasts.

When i started mine was gone fast. Very fast. Now it stays there for about 10

hours. 24 is the goal.

There is an iodine test that many use if you are into tests and knowing numbers.

The following list is from the Iodine Group

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/iodine/files/

a compilation of resources for obtaining the Iodine loading test.

Call and ask for an iodine loading kit. It is $70 to do this test. It does not

include return shipping.

Vitamin stores might have Lugols.I only buy online and never been to a health

food store so I dont know for sure.

Swanson Vitamins is where i get mine, the cheapest i have found.

I take approx 50mg a day. I use 1 to 2 drops (3mg each drop) internally and the

rest i get transdermally. For my son he gets 25mg daily. Same configuration.

Transdermal application results in only a little less than 1mg absorbtion, so i

use alot. Considering making it myself, the iodine group has a recipe in the

last few days that makes it sound easy!
