Ok, if you have done your research on the internet, there is a lot of hype about iodine missing in our diets. Guess what? They are right. I just had my blood work done and it stated that my thyroid was ok. However, I ordered this product and started taking one drop per day in a glass of water. Now I'm up to three drops per day. I never get a Cold or sick. I lost 10 pounds and I'm full of energy every day. My wife Is taking one drop per day. She has lost 20 pounds, never sick, and full of energy. I really feel that iodine is a missing link in our diet

okay so after noticing 5 ponths postpartum my energy was literally nothing i would sleep 16 hours a day and take 2 naps in the day. no matter how great i ate and excercise i couldnt lose weight ! for me that was the biggest red flag.i had to quit my job too ....my hair was dry like if all i did was smoke cigarrettes my skin was dry my nails started peeling ...i decided to go to the doctor after a month of experiencing these symptons i thought something was not right so i went january 6,2017 to be told i had a goiter hypothyroidism borderline diabetes ..... the first thing i did was cry literally everyday i would wake up thinking i wasnt going to live to be by my newborn son side. they gabe me syntheroid and it worked for a week but then i experienced dramatic weight gain acne and depression so i stopped the syntheroid 2 weeks in ....then i tried a gluten free raw diet but that didnt give me my energy it just helped my my stomach and digestive issues i had at the time ... i was tired feeling like crap so i did some research and found that a goiter was the result of a iodine defficiency so i decided to go on amazon and find out if they had supplement and i found lugols iodine drops. imediatley i went to read the reviews and to find that this had gave peoples energys back ... well im proof to tell you that its absolutley true !!!!!!! in a week !JUST A WEEK i was ables to wake up at 6 in the morning with only 5 hours of sleep wow!! and my husband even noticed that i no longer complained to get up i just jumped out of bed ! my hair is growing again after a 7 month halt it went through my skin is not pale its my normal skin color .... and my nails stopped peeling ... im not a doctor but i also advise this if you have hypothyroidism i reccomend you get tested for candida because i found out i had candida so you have to make a protocol that will work for candida and hypothyroidism . i take collagen powder in the morning to help heal the seals in my gut .... i started eating fermented things like kombucha , saerkraet , and apple cider vinegat to regain my gut while taking iodine drops for my thyroid issues , also im taking wormwood extract for candida so all this together and a gluten free low fruit cooked veggie diet i will say im on the path to healing ...NEVER GIVE UP if i had given uo and believed doctors i had a incurable disease i wouldnt be where i am now 2 months later .. believe in yourself dont let your family tell you that medicine is your only choice find supportive people in the raw food and naturalist community . Before you give up when you are starting the path to healing i will say changing to a cleaner diet all this detoxing food will give you a pretty bad detox effect if you jump on it too quickly i would say start incorperating things slowly so your body can adjust to it or unlike me suffer 3 weeks of sneezing Cold and flu symtoms due to rushing into detox ...but if you do take my route THEIR IS A LIGHT AT THE ENND OF THE TUNNEL i am feeling so much better and would do it again anyday to regain my health ..GOODLUCK HAPOY HEALING BELIEVE IN YOURSEL

There are already such wonderfully detailed reviews here that say everything positive that I want to say about Lugol's Solution, so I will let them do the talking. As for myself and my husband, we each take 4 drops in a shot glass of water every morning. If it can help anyone else, here is a little background: After losing 70lb (in a healthy way) to my goal weight a few years ago, and after reaching the age of premenopause a few months ago, I have suffered with freezing Cold hands and feet as well as a total intolerance of Cold weather. I could barely tolerate having the A/C on! That alone was miserable, but add to it terrible hot flashes and night sweats, and I just felt like my internal thermostat needed to be replaced. :) I had also been diagnosed last year with a small growth (so far benign) on my thyroid, although my lab levels are normal to date. Well, after only a few months, my icy hands and feet are finally warming up, I no longer need a sweater in 70 - 75 degree temperatures, and with the help of a few other natural supplements, the hot flashes and night sweats are GONE! I have also noticed a significant improvement in the clarity of my skin and my overall energy level. My husband works around heavy metals and somehow managed to absorb a great deal of Arsenic over the years. Through a 24-hour urine collection, he was diagnosed last year with a body Arsenic level of well over 800, which is more than double the normal level for any human. His doctors began looking into how to purge his system of the Arsenic, as it apparently will not dissipate on its own. In the meantime, I discovered Lugol's Solution and advised him to try it as well. After only a few months, his repeat 24-hour urine collection has revealed that his Arsenic level is normal again! He also has been enjoying a significant improvement in his overall energy level. I should say, too, that I now drink ALLOT of water all day long. . .every time I think about it. I keep a squeeze bottle of water with me at all times, which really increases the amount that I get (kind of like shotgunning. . .you've drunk almost half the bottle in one squeeze before you know it!). Most folks don't realize how much water the human body truly needs on a daily basis. The majority of us don't drink anywhere near enough water to support the proper functioning of our systems. Greatly increasing my water intake has certainly been a revelation to me. The digestive issues, skin complexion issues, blood sugar issues, lack of energy, weight gain and poor immunity that I have struggled with most of my life have been VASTLY improved. . . .Just a little FYI

12-22-2010 I have had this product now for 8 days and I have lost 8 pounds! But before I continue with my review let me pre-warn you: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! Do some google "research" about Iodine deficiencies, thyroid problems, and too much Iodine before you decide to take this product. I have read some people's blog about getting to much Iodine and feeling sick or not seeing any affects. If this happens, stop taking it. From what I have most people have enough Iodine in their diet if they use Iodized salt(which is in most table salt) or have a diet rich in sea vegetables, yogurt, cow's milk, eggs, strawberries and mozzarella cheese. I am a flexi-vegan so I probably don't get enough Iodine. A LITTLE BACKGROUND YOU MAY RELATE TO: I have been feeling VERY tired lately and very foggy, almost like pregnancy. I know that the tired foggy feeling is due hormonal changes. After the perceived noticeable change in my hormonal levels, one of my wisdom teeth started coming in rapidly after it had been steadily growing in for over 6 months. I was also starting to get cysts, which I had never experienced. I am a VERY healthy eater( I do love chocolate and homemade baked goods) and I love to exercise and I'm pretty athletic (even obese I can still walk/run 5-10 miles with no problem) but because of the general tired feeling I had I hadn't really exercised on a consistent basis (average 4-8 times a month). Since I was a little girl my weight has always fluctuated(but have always been athletic) and I was told by someone that maybe I had thyroid issues but disregarded that because that person was nuts. MY RESULTS As soon as I took my first 2 drops (about 1 cc each) I noticed a significant change. It was the same feeling you get when you are very dehydrated and then drink water, a rush of change in your body. It was crazy! My wisdom tooth was throbbing and that pain went away in hours. I have had bad back problems for 15 years and always experience pain after exercise. I went for a 5 mile walk and had no pain! (I am still limited in how long I can hold heavy things). My thoughts are much clearer and I have a more acute awareness. Quite honestly now that I can think more clearly I see how foggy my thoughts have been for almost 2 decades. I have lost a pound a day since I have started and have made no changes in my diet. I even caught a Cold from my son and the Cold effects do not seem as bad MY HOPES Since I do eat fairly healthy I am hoping that I will continue to loose weight to reflect my current lifestyle. I don't want to get my hopes up because it is almost to good to be true but so far what I have seen is amazing! Even if I don't loose any more weight just the relief of the back pain is enough results for me!!! I will keep updating periodically. Update 4-16-2011 So I have to be honest I stopped using this stuff at the end of January but it still remained to be very effective until the last day that I used it. The weight that I lost stayed gone (total about 15 pounds) and my back pain disappeared while I was taking this stuff. I looked at my empty bottle and realized I had forgotten to order more. My back pain continued after I discontinued use. I spoke with someone who is training in Ayurvedic medicine and she actually recommended a higher dose of iodine. This iodine is only 2% and contains potassium. I am potassium deficient so this is probably why it worked so well for me. I gave some to a neighbor and they said it caused them headaches but she did have extra natural energy that she appreciated. The person that I know who is training in Aryuvedic medicine said that if you put some on your skin and let it absorb if it disappears than it probably means that your body is deficient. Even though our salt is iodized, compared to most eastern cultures we take in significantly less iodine and have higher rates of cancer and obesity. I would recommend this product as a good starter before taking a less highly concentrated version or if taking a higher potency of iodine seems to give you negative affects

Keep in mind, iodine was widely used as an antiseptic, but also has these other benefits: Maintain your energy level all day - Maintain your weight - Live without aches and pains - Maintain a cheerful and uplifted attitude - Have a clear memory - Able to tolerate Cold - Have normal bowel movements - Have full and shiny hair - Obtain restful night at sleep - Have normal skin and supple fingernails. This product is essential for thyroid health. J Crow's is one of the best providers and their prices are fairly reasonable. Lugol's iodine is a detoxing agent, therefore you want to start slow. Start with a drop or 2 in juice, once a day. It takes about 15 minutes to circulate in your system. If you take too much, you may feel an achy feeling in your glands in your throat or groin area for a little while. As time goes by, you can slowly increase your dosage

I've been using this iodine for 8 months now. I first started slow along with vit. C therapy magnesium and Celtic Salt, because I was aware I was dealing with hormone/gland illnesses. Slow start of 2 drops per day for about a week when I felt almost nothing. I increased to 5 drops daily for about three weeks from there and began to get some energy and clearer mind. That's also when I started experiencing some heart palps. I decreased to three drops daily for two months feeling more energetic and less moody. I took a ten day trip and left my iodine behind. I felt just your normal tiredness while vacationing and overdoing. I had continued my vit. C therapy and salt as well. When I returned after about 5 days of resuming the three drops daily, I noticed heart palpitations again. I began to take three drops every other day and I've been doing that for 5 months now. The thyroid starts to reserve excess iodine and regulate your thyroid over much time, everyone is different you just can't go by someone else's experience. I haven't felt that flu like feeling in my back since using iodine faithfully. I know the vit. C cleansed my adrenaline gland and everything else which really helped, I had experienced hair loss and Cold spells for over 10 years, I think it was the whole regimen. I also had little to no sugar and processed foods. About mid way through I also started on Niacin, which has helped with energy and mood as well

I did a 'patch test' to check my iodine levels and discovered I (60) was severely deficient in this most essential of minerals! I wasn't surprised given the fact that I was losing my hair my the handfuls, my metabolism was shot, I was frequently Cold, and the chem trails in our sky are frequently a 'plaid' pattern. Yes, chem trails do interfere with iodine intake!! Chem trails alone make most folk are HIGHLY deficient in iodine. The patch test is super easy to do. I was taking 12 drops a day for 4 months and finally got my levels to a much better state, but still not optimal. It takes a long time to correct a nutritional deficiency. And I was no longer loosing my hair!! I now have my husband (69) using these same drops as he too was severely iodine deficient! His hair is also starting to grow back in ... and I am not sure if it is these drops, or the Anti-balding blend I made for him with the Young Living essential oils. I am sure it is probably a good combination of the two! One of the "features" is taste... and this tastes exactly like iodine. Its icky on its own! But it works GREAT. I put my drops in water with some flavoring drops from Young Living and can't even tell it's in there

I love this Iodine. I use it daily to detox all the bromides out of my system since they are an endocrine disruptor and are found EVERYWHERE!!! In our food, in anything that has a fire retardant like in carpet, upholstery (yes, our furniture), mattress, in cars, in flour (potassium bromate), brominated vegetable oils*, clothing, pesticides (methyl bromide), prescription medication like certain asthma inhalers and COPD inhaler Symbicort, in many personal products, etc. Everywhere! So Iodine is the powerful element nature has given us to not only detox elements like bromides but to also heal our wounds and send bad cells (e.g. cancer cells) off to die. Now that is a concept I can get behind!! I've seen and personally reaped the benefits for myself and I hope you'll find this extra long review and side not to be of benefit in some way. Kombucha UP!!! If you or somebody you know has cancer or endocrine issues, or just foggy brain etc. I believe strongly that you would really benefit from visiting this site and just getting a little more info on the benefits of iodine for yourself. [...] *Side note on vegetable oils (nothing to do with bromides) if you're interested in relieving inflammation in your body: An excess of Omega 6 fatty acids in our diets are extremely inflammatory to our bodies and have been shown to create heart disease, macular degeneration, obesity and many cancers, brain diseases like Alzheimer's, etc.. So while this is WAY off topic, thought I would share this information because on information on our health... I don't believe we can help one another through sharing our knowledge and research enough. These are the vegetable oils I would choose oils with a better balance of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids which from what I have researched should be a 2:1 (some say 1:1) ratio. Olive oil (for Cold or room temp), avocado oil (high heat point), coconut oil (med to high), hemp (no heat), flaxseed (no heat), almond oil, and I take cod liver oil daily for it's high EPA and HEA content over expensive Krill Oil. Macadamia nut oil is perfect at a 1:1 ration and if you don't have a nut allergy and can afford to pay a little more, AWESOME taste!! I will not eat any GMO oils like canola, soybean or corn oil for any reason but the excessive Omega 6's and NO Omega 3's are a good enough one for me. I've also cleaned my diet of grapeseed, sesame, peanut, sunflower oil, and safflower oil. No Omega 3, all Omega 6 fatty acids

My wife and I have been taking iodine everyday now for over a month. We started at about 2 drops or so and I am now up to 9 drops a day. I feel good with 9 drops. I found that if I used too much too fast (even 1 extra drop) while my body was getting adjusted to it, I found almost feel jittery from having too much energy. While getting used to it, I also found that I would feel great during the day but then crash in the evening. I think I only felt that way for about a week or two. I haven't since then though. People will ask me what it tastes like, and all I can say is, it tastes like it smells (yes, that great). My wife puts it in her morning coffee, and my coffee is Mio Energy (Black Cherry tastes like kool-aid) and I don't taste it mixed in. Not that I am a pharmacist or have any room to make an educational suggestion, from what I was reading on several sites, along side of taking the iodine, it's a good idea to be taking selenium with the iodine. It's really helped my immune system. I started feeling a Cold hit me about a week ago and I just feel like it's being kept at bay and hasn't really hit me. I do recommend reading up on it yourself and/or talking to your family physician before doing so. Don't just say "I'm also taking selenium because an Amazon Reviewer said I should." Not cool
