Best Supplement for Psoriasis: J.CROW'SÂ® Lugol's Solution of Iodine 2% 2oz

Lugol's response (density and cap sealing) and how I take this iodine

Many doctors don't know the importance of iodine unfortunately. I've been using this iodine for 6 months and one concerned symptom that lasted over a year has completely disappeared soon after I started taking this. But I read reviews about the density issue and safety issue of this iodine sold in Amazon, so I contacted Lugol's about it, and here is their response: "Lugol's is made with distilled water. Color may vary depending on storage. We use a tamper evident one piece cap which reveals a ring that separates upon opening and falls to the shoulder of the bottle. All Amazon sellers are known to us. But in general they store in bins and not upright which is what we suggest. We guarantee our product for the life of the bottle." I told them that nothing fell upon opening my bottle, and sent them a photo of my bottle. They said that the ring is still on the cap, and it's possible the ring did not disengage, but usually it separates. * The Amazon sellers of this iodine seem to change quickly. Iodine (I only trust Lugol's so far) is effective for allergy, depression, fatigue, fertility problems, heart arrhythmia, ovarian problems, Psoriasis, type 2 diabetes, blood pressure, Fibromyalgia, and the list goes on. Most of us are deficient in iodine. I take this 3 drops in the morning as this can wake you up. I take Selenium supplement and use Himalayan salt (recommend Sherpa Pink Gourmet Himalayan Salt) that will help its effectiveness and also reduces side effects. I didn't have much side effect, except I got very sleepy. Some get headache, skin disorder, fatigue, and if you get those side effects, reduce the amount and if needed gradually increase the amount (1 drop for 1st week, 2 drops for 2nd week). What I understand is that overtaking iodine also causes health issues, but 1-5 drops would be fine, EXCEPT those who has KIDNEY issue. My mom who has kidney issue takes only 1 drop daily (can start from twice a week depending on the person's condition), and her high blood pressure became stable soon after taking this. * Please do this under your sole responsibility. Hope this info is helpful

Amazing Results…

I was browsing around, and in a fit of nostalgia, I wondered whether anyone still used iodine for cuts. I came across reviews and information that made me sit up and take notice. I have had eczema and Psoriasis (sebhorric(Sp) dermatitis on my hands and feet that make them crack and bleed at the worst, and just make them sensitive usually) for the past 20 years. I've tried everything, and hate using ointments that make me feel like my hands are covered in crap, and lotions that haven't worked. I have very sensitive skin, and conditions such as ingrown hairs, and more recently acne, have been plaguing me. (I had my eyebrows threaded and said 'yes' to the lotion they put on afterward, which resulted in a nice acne raccoon mask for the past 6 weeks. It just got bad and never seemed to get better.)After reading all the feedback about the effect on skin conditions, I thought I'd give it a try. I also have been having a bit of trouble losing weight after having my daughter, but admittedly, that has a lot to do with lifestyle. I have slightly thinning hair attributable to age. I have struggled with insomnia in varying degrees for most of my life, but recently it hit a point of affecting my life in a substantial way. I'm 40, so I imagine part of that is due to hormonal imbalances as I age. So, coincidentally, the day before I started taking this, I donated blood. The iodine solution they put on my arm (Two times, standard protocol) was completely gone a few hours after donating. It hadn't stained into the band-aid or cotton that I could see. While I didn't use this as conclusive evidence that I had deficiency, I feel it bears mentioning. My Thyroid levels, tested a couple months ago, were within normal range but a little on the hypo side. (Articles I have read indicated that the normal range may not be completely indicative of hypo or hyper thyroid conditions, and that additional tests could be given) Within a day of taking my first 5 drop dose (in a large glass of water - it tastes like a doctor's office smells.) My hands started to feel.... different. They seemed to be healing from the inside out. My skin felt less irritated, and just healthier. My feet seemed to have a pretty profound affect, although the sensitivity wasn't as pronounced on them to begin wiht. A patch of eczema in my inner arm started to not be so angry and itchy, and the acne on my face started to clear.(not only no new blemishes, it appears that the existing ones were healing better) I lost 6 pounds in two weeks, without a change in my diet. After reading up on the topic and being afraid of taking too much (I didn't exhibit all the symptoms of hypo), I scaled back on the dosage after a couple weeks, (down to just my multivitamin) and noticed my hands started to feel dry and cracked again. I never had any body temperature issues, but perhaps weighing more compensated for that. I also read that there are components, when taken with iodine, that change the makeup and efficacy. I've not had a huge energy shift that I can tell, however I am getting more done. (that sounds strange, but I never felt lethargic) Mental clarity for me was never an issue, so I don't see a perceptible difference here either. So, I'm gonna recommend that you talk to your Doctor, but I have had some pretty great favorable results from using this product. I've heard that Vitamin C (citric Acid) does not play well with this stuff, so putting it into something containing that to mask the flavor probably isn't a good idea. I took 5 drops in a large glass of water first thing every morning. Edit: a few more notes. I live in Michigan, which evidently experienced an environmental disaster in 1973-1976, where a great deal of farm animals feed was mixed with a harmful chemical, resulting in increased PBB levels for 9 out of 10 Michiganders. I was a milk drinking toddler at the time, so it's likely that I've experienced some effect from that. Those symptoms can be alleviated with iodine therapy. While this doesn't say that anyone else won't have good results, my individual experience is slightly unique. That said, it's December 22' I am sleeping well, and have a much more even appetite, so I'm still losing a little weight. I take a five drops every other day and still feel pretty great

Great for eczema/atopic dermatitis

I take iodine for my eczema/atopic dermatitis outbreaks. Mine is closer to Psoriasis than it is to eczema. It's been a problem for over a decade, and very little has helped. I read that iodine can be good, and Lugol's seems to be the best from all that I've read. The trick with iodine is to start slow and work your way up until you find the right dosage for you so you don't have a bad reaction. Most people start way too high. Just use 1 drop/day every other day in the beginning, and after two weeks, increase to 1 drop daily. Wait another two weeks and increase to two drops daily, etc. Stop if you have a bad reaction, or when you find the right dose to treat your problem. For me, I take 4 drops daily, and have no bad reaction. My problem area is my hands because I wash them so much, so they're prone to outbreaks, and I haven't had any bad outbreaks since I've been taking 4 drops daily (I was at 3 drops for two months or so, but it wasn't quite enough; increasing just one drop made a big difference). Whenever I see I might be starting to get another outbreak, I just increase to 5-6 drops daily for a few days, and it clears right up. Just know that depending on your condition, the severity, and your gender/size, you may need more or less. A friend of mine uses this to help with wound problems she has from diabetes, and she takes double what I take. I'm also a petite female, so that puts me on the lower spectrum. Most people will be somewhere between 3 and 10 drops daily. If you have severe health problems, you may need more than 10
