Do you take it in juice or milk? Milk seems to hide the flavor pretty well. I've never had an upset stomach from it. However, avoidance of the tast and stomach troubles is the reason Iodoral was created, as it is Lugol's in pill form.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Thanks Skipper. Coincidentally, I did take it in milk this morning and I agree that it does hide the flavor (although the taste isn't half as bad as I expected it to be). Maybe it was also a coincidence that my stomach was upset, because I took another dose and had no problem. Do you usually take your whole daily dose at once? I do have the book Iodine Why You Need It..., however it doesn't seem to address this. Thanks again, Deanna > > Do you take it in juice or milk?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 no - you can buy it online - just google " lugol's " . I buy mine from http://jcrow.com/ they also sell the 16oz bottle which works out to be quite a bit cheaper by the ounce.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 >From: " vcoppola7 " <vcoppola7@...> >Is Lugol's available only by prescription? Currently you can get it at jcrows.com in undiluted strength, but if the DEA rule goes through that's been mentioned on this list, they might have to dilute it down to sell it. One ounce lasts quite a long time for oral use. 2 drops equals about 12.5 mg, which is equivalent to one iodoral pill.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Jill do you use any Magnesium. It is necessary in over 300 enzyme reactions. I use the Mg Oil (you can find the link to where to purchase on my thyroid nutrient page www.naturalthryoidchoices.com ). I love my Mg Oil. It makes my whole body relax and gives me more stamina for workouts. Steph Re: lugol'sThanks, and Sandi, that was a very fast answer! I'm sorry to hear about your loss of the thyroid gland, creates so many problems.I'm planning to continue to increase the dosage to 100, but taking my time. I have some kind of neuromuscular problem, called by many names: lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. Also it has been called "I don't know, so please just go home". :-)So far the improvements have been the physical ones I mentioned, but I'm hoping for lessening of the cognitive problems, also. I've been disabled for 8 years, but ill for more than 25. Just today reading some of the postings, I think I might add manganese to the list of supplements. But carefully.Thanks for your prompt replies.Jill------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thanks . I found out she weighs 99 lbs. so I will tell them to give her 4 drops of 5% (she doesn't do capsules well), along with the vit C and salt.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 My kids take Iodoral and we crush it and put it in applesauce. They take a bunch of pills. Some Omega 3 Fatty Acids like Flax Seed Oil and DHA oils would be good for her too.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Lugol's from aquaria suppliers often contains bromine/bromide which is an undesirable halogen/halide. You might call the manufacturer for clarification. At 08:14 PM 10/8/2009, Slavek wrote: > > BTW, I have bought 11.68% lugol from an aquaristic supply house for >C$12 per once.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Whether the aquaristic Lugol has bromine in it or not is something I will try to find out, but I seriously doubt it. Slavec I seriously doubt it also...but the why about bromide...did you know that they used to put iodine in bread but someone decided to have that stopped and we have bromide in white flour instead. Why, because our government and the people on top (same group) make a lot of money poisoning people....take flouride or aspartame and mercury in vaccines and on and on and on....Its the name of the game in modern civilization....terrible... For those who want to take iodine as part of a protocol for cancer I would not fool around I would go for the best for oral consumption not the cheapest. Even the new weaker lugols is harsh for oral use.... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi Marc. The point of illegal is quite specific not only to the product, but also to the purpose of intended use. This is exactly why some products albeit illegal for lets say human medical purposes are OK for lets say electroplating. Lets say tetracycline is prescription at $16 per week per person. But it is also over the counter at $13 per cow per week at farm supply stores sometimes with a free syringe as a bonus. Yet it is the same tetracycline. Lets say DMSO is a hard to get prescription item in Canada for humans, but an over the counter item in farm supply stores. Yet it is the same DMSO. Whether the aquaristic Lugol has bromine in it or not is something I will try to find out, but I seriously doubt it. The product states only iodine, iodide and water. The concentration is not meant for human consumption for the simple reason that one drop is on the high side of a reasonable daily supplementation dose. Therefore, it has to be thinned to more practical concentration. But it is still a deal financially. And indeed, it is stated in a lot of references that iodine does displace bromine from tissues. Yet, why to put it in the body in the first place along with the iodine? Bromine is probably needed by the body also to some extent, but it is definitely a big nono in excess. BTW, iodine supplements are very common in Europe for hormonal control in common dosing between 15 - 50 mg/D, but doses up to 200 mg are also used in whatever cases. My mother for example had been on 50 mg/D for 3 months some 3 years ago and on 13 mg/D ever since. She is 83 and the last time she fell off the roof while fixing it was 6 years ago. What a woman :-) Anyway, iodine IMHO is one of the elements we sorely lack in our diets in North America. With kind regards, Slavek.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Bonnie, I just posted this info when you said you didn't have a dropper. The metric system is standardized to have 20 drops / ml. So .3 ml would be 6 drops. .9 ml would be 18 drops. It is 5% Lugol's isn't it? At 6.25 mg / drop, 6 drops is 37.5 mg. .9 ml or 18 drops is 112.5 mg. It doesn't make sense to give a dosage AND say poison. We all know it isn't poison except if it's in an alcohol base - which isn't Lugol's. Lugol's is water based.
