Product Description

Lugol's taken internally in addition to replenishing the thyroid, also brings amazing relief and a calming, soothing, peaceful state to anxiety and a manic stage. It destroys vicious stomach bacteria, (especially salmonella), against gas, bloating, indigestion, heartburn. Doomed are harmful bacteria and parasite eggs. It is 100% safe (except if allergic) to take regularly, but only use as needed. Lugol's iodine is old-fashioned iodine and years ago was used for treating various illnesses. It has a distinctive trait - it hangs up on everything. In the stomach, it attaches to vicious salmonella, bacteria, parasite eggs and they are doomed. The thyroid is the organ most capable of absorbing iodine. Pathogenic microorganisms, the primary cause of disease, are made weaker and most are killed as they pass through the thyroid, provided, it has its normal supply of iodine. Clinical studies show that very few people have enough iodine in their thyroid to function optimally. This deficiency has occurred in the 20th century because of chlorine in drinking water, the alteration of natural food sources and modern farming practices. Aggravating the problem is that the body does not conserve iodine, therefore, we must get a regular supplemental intake to maintain optimal health. The Thyroid, Iodine and Disease Prevention The role of the thyroid gland has been understood for some time now. Although conventional medicine places emphasis on its contribution to regulating the body's metabolism, and equally important role is its contribution to the immunological health and body. You would get 3.125 mg of iodine out of a vertical drop and 6.25 mg out of a horizontal drop. In a 2 oz. bottle you would get roughly 250 drops. The solution will go right to the bloodstream by passing the digestion process also liquid is more controlled and you can get more uses out of it. You can apply it to the skin or take it orally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iodine for health, January 29, 2011

UPDATED REVIEW
The dosage information is wrong in the product description as it states one vertical drop is 3.25 mg of Iodine. The dosage that is shown under the product description is for Lugol's 5% solution.
One drop of Lugol's 2% is 1.65mg of Iodine per vertical drop, which shows how woefully inadequate the current Recommended Daily Allowance is, since one vertical drop is equal to a little more than 10 days of Iodine per the RDA.

The calculation for the vertical dosage in iodine is as follows:
The "United States Pharmaceutical ("USP") standard for Iodine and Potassium Iodide in iodine solutions"
"Iodine topical solution two percent U.S.P. is defined as having in each 100 ml [milliliters], not less than 1.8 grams and not more than 2.2 grams of iodine, and not less than 2.1 grams and not more than 2.6 grams of [potassium] iodide in water."

The following calculations are for the average of the range, which could vary by 10% either way and still be compliant:
100 ml = 4.125 grams (g) of iodine
100 ml = 4,125 mg of iodine
1 ml = 41.25 mg of iodine
1 ml = 25 vertical drops (this was my measurement; a bottle should contain a total of 59.15 x 25 vertical drops = 1,479 vertical drops per 2 fluid ounce bottle)
1 vertical drop = 1.65 mg of Iodine

For comparison to Iodoral tablets, the 2 fluid ounce bottle has 59.15 ml of solution containing 2,440 mg of Iodine or about 195 Iodoral 12.5 mg tablets.


OLD REVIEW below:
This product is the same formula that was invented in 1829 and is terrific for supplementing health.

At 150 micrograms, the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance is woefully insufficient to sustain healthy humans. Japanese daily consumption is on average over 8,500% (13milligrams) more than what the U.S. population is supposed to ingest.

The japanese also smoke more than americans, spend much less on health care, and are more densely populated. Despite this they have 10 times less obesity, many times less occurrence of almost all types of cancer, circulatory disease, and other types of disease.

While iodine is commonly commented on for thyroid necessity it also good for mental acuity and is necessary for many other unknown reasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seems to be working, April 25, 2011

By 

southernstranger (Georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lugol's Iodine Solution(2 oz.) Twin Pack(2 bot.) (Health and Beauty)

I bought one bottle of this and used it for several months... just 2 drops a day. Next trip to the doctor he lowered the strength of my thyroid pills... (after 5 yrs on the same strength) If I increase the Lugols maybe I can get off the pills altogether. I just decided to take it slow to make sure I don't get too much.

To those who complain about the taste... NOOOO don't take it by itself. You can put a few drops in almost any drink, even water, and you won't taste it. I usually take mine with my morning coffee.

As a side benefit, did you know that iodine can be used to make dirty water safe for drinking?

5.0 out of 5 stars Noticeable difference, June 18, 2011

I've only been taking this for about a week now and can tell a difference. I have more get up in the morning, and am not running for the couch to lay down on as soon as I walk in the door from work. I even feel like doing things around the house when I get home. But for me, with low-thyroid AND fibromyalgia, extreme exhaustion and fatigue is the 'norm', so anything above that is having a 'good' day.

I bought the liquid, and the twin pack for both price and convenience but just feel unsure of what dosage I am getting. And although it is a natural product, I feel unsure of what I'm doing, so will do some more research. Of course, I advise anyone to include your physician in the 'loop' so as not to self-prescribe with unknown factors - myself included.
Most certainly I would LOVE to get off the thyroid meds at some point; and it would be great if it affected my metabolism and the weight would begin to come off and 'normalize'. I'll keep you posted on anything noteworthy.

I do feel the negative reviews on here are absurd, as so often they are. I think people should just blog their concerns and questions in the place for discussion, but the review area should be strictly for that - reviewing the product.
From what I can tell, this seems to be a good product and worth buying again.
