Thank you. I take two drops Lugol's 5% daily, I'll give the higher dosage a try now. Let's see what happens.
That seems like a lot, over time it may lead to hyperthyroidism, be careful!
I use a very weak dilution of 15%: as far as I know 1 drop = 125 doses. You may not realise you've overdosed until the damage is done. Take care.
Be careful and listen to your body and/or med professional. The cofactors are important, and higher amounts can cause side effects. Ive pushed it and just felt like crap until I stop taking it and force myself to chill out. Like kick back have a salt-ringed cocktail, have a nice relaxing soak, and wait a couple days before having more, lol.
This paper seems to suggest that you can take 25mg of iodine per day so thats like 20 drops. But that conflicts with what we are saying in this thread about thyroid issues
Cofactors seem to be indescribably critical. Selenium, vit c, zinc, boron etc. I forgot selenium for a week and had a bad time.
Totally. Apparently it's on us to reconcile.
