I came across this article, well my mother alerted me to it and forgot at just how incredible Iodine actually is! She took 2 drops last night and couldn’t believe the energy and clearheaded-ness (if that’s such a word?!) that she felt this morning. One who has been lacking energy due to stress and looking after family all the time, she could only put it down to taking the 2 drops in her water last night. What an improvement!
It certainly got me thinking about it as I had forgotten just how amazing Iodine actually is and how powerful it can be. With all that extra EMF out there unseen radiation that we are exposed to every second of our lives, we need all the help we can get.
I hope you click on to this article (I have it pasted below for your convenience) and look into Lugol’s Iodine further. I have my bottle I bought a few months ago as I was so impressed with it, however, forgot about it and so I have revitalized it again and looking forward to seeing the changes. Not sure if they will be like my mother’s but hey definitely interested in seeing the differences!
Iodine deficiency is one of the greatest problems of our age and it is partially a result of the consumption of goitrogenous foods which reduce its absorption in the body.
Also significant is the increased consumption of iodine blockers – bromine, chlorine and fluorine, traces of which are found in foods consumed daily.
Even though salt is iodized, the quantities it contains are not enough to prevent many diseases, and the form of iodine it contains can’t be fully used by the body.
A Croatian study from 2009 has indicated that as many as one fifth of the subjects had concentrations of iodine in their body which were too low.
The results can easily be transferred to the overall population, which would indicate that a million Croats suffer from iodine deficiency.
The same study determined that 50 percent of pregnant women in Zagreb, which is in a region of Croatia with the highest iodine intake, suffered the same problem. An iodine deficiency during pregnancy can lead to severe mental retardation, ADHD, depression and dwarfism.
The situation is worrisome, because it can be concluded from the study that the situation in other regions of Croatia is even worse, and that these numbers are even higher elsewhere.
How to take Lugol solution
It is recommended to take Lugol solution with apple vinegar.
The officially recommended daily dose is 150 μg (micrograms), but that dose is far smaller than what is used in alternative medicine. With illnesses, it is recommended one begins with 12.5 mg of Lugol solution, which is 2 drops a day, and slowly increases the dose until reaching the maximum of 50 mg, depending upon the illness. For persons suffering hyperthyroidism or diabetes, caution is advised – such persons should begin with smaller doses of the solution.
While taking larger doses of Lugol solution, it is possible one experiences detoxification symptoms, such as feeling hot, sweating and mild headaches. These symptoms will pass within 2-3 days with the intake of sufficient quantities of fluids.
Do not use Lugol solution if you are allergic to iodine.
