I take Lugol's iodine almost everyday (with Selenium). It dramatically upgraded my life. The first week could be wild (fever is expected) but people should know how this cheap supplement can help them.
- ufo 3y agoLugol's iodine is usually not recommended because a single drop has dozens of times the daily recommended dose of iodine. That can cause bad side effects (as discussed in the article)
- Solortho 3y agoNot dozens but thousands!
- infertainment 3y agoYes, a minority of people (less than 2%) have Hashimoto's Thyroditis, some without knowing about it, and a large dose of iodine could cause damage to their thyroid, I think through some sort of auto-immune process. The selenium helps prevent that. It's a shame because the remaining 98% could get a lot of benefit and (setting aside the above) iodine is supposed to be the least toxic pure element. In the past Lugol's iodine was used as an antiseptic to put on cuts so I guess a fair amount got absorbed that way.
