15% Max Strength Lugols Iodine Solution Dr

Product Information

After extensive research we sourced pipettes that are made from a chemical-resistant rubber. This ensures that the rubber does not disintegrate or leach, so rest assured that particles won’t enter the solution during storage or transit. Health Leads Commitment to You American physicians then used between 12.5mg and 37.5mg daily to treat both hyper and hypothyroidism, with some patients requiring 90mg daily. This resulted in a 90% success rate for treatment. It became recognised that there was a pandemic of iodine deficiency. As a result of this, iodised table salt was introduced generally and the benefits of iodine supplementation were forgotten. However, iodine and iodides compete with the other halides (such as fluoride, chloride, bromide) for absorption. Iodine deficiency has been made much more common in recent years because many people are subjected to high levels of fluoride because of their water supply or because of dental treatments; bromide was routinely used in bread making and also as a fire retardant. Thus the high levels of fluorides and bromides in our diet and the environment mean that we are all at great risk of iodine deficiency. Furthermore, the recommended daily amount of iodine is 150 μg - that is to say a thousand fold less than the sort of doses that were used in the 19th century.

An essential trace element. Safe in this dosage but DO NOT OVERDOSE ! That would be toxic! There are three possible scenarios. One is that the calculation was right. The amount of thyroid tissue left is just right to produce the right level of hormones in the bloodstream. Of course, the cells may later partly recover, and then it may have to be done all over again or further damage and loss of function may occur and the thyroid as a whole may become underactive.

Suggested use:Apply 1-4 drops onto the skin for transdermal use or if using the brush applicator, apply a few 1-4 brush strokes on to the skin or affected area.The 24 Hour iodine loading test is not available on the NHS in the UK but is available via Regenerus Laboratories. However, there is some evidence that this test does not provide a realistic assessment of an individual’s whole body iodine sufficiency or deficiency due to flaws in the methodology and the use of an arbitrary excretion cut-off point. 31,32 Jean Francois Coindet (1774-1834) was the first to use iodine for medicinal use. Lugol’s Solution was first made by French physician J. G. A. Lugol in 1829. Dr. Lugol researched substances that could help treat infections and found that iodine could be used and showed promise in this field. What does Lugol's Iodine Solution do? The above uses and effects are consequences of the fact that the solution is a source of effectively free elemental iodine, which is readily generated from the equilibrium between elemental iodine molecules and polyiodide ions in the solution.

Dropper Included: Dropper is supplied with every bottle. Remove the cap and put dropper in. However, do not store for long periods with dropper inserted as the iodine oxidises the dropper bulb over time. Iodine is an essential mineral that helps our body make thyroid hormones for cell health and metabolism.

Drizzle Lugol’s iodine 1-4 drops (whatever is tolerated) into the mouth piece – sniff this through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Everyone will need to experiment and find what suits them. Work done by Professor Guy Abraham (whose work I have been following for many years now and whom I highly respect) has lit up an interesting new way of using iodine as a therapeutic intervention. Indeed, he quotes from the Nobel Laureate Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, who discovered vitamin C in 1928, who commented when I was a medical student, iodine in the form of KI was the universal medicine. Nobody knew what it did, but it did something and did something good. We students used to sum up the situation in this little rhyme: Bromine – used in agriculture, sanitation and fire retardants as well as an alternative to chlorine in swimming pools a b Preedy VR, Burrow GN, Watson RR (2009).

Rarely we may have to use a natural filler but research carefully those we do use, such as rice flour.

Believe it or not, a teaspoon of iodine will provide us with all the iodine we need for our entire life.

What are the best iodine supplements to take?

Lugol's iodine may also be used to better visualize the mucogingival junction in the mouth. Similar to the method of staining mentioned above regarding a colposcopy, alveolar mucosa has a high glycogen content that gives a positive iodine reaction vs. the keratinized gingiva. [16]

Symptoms of iodine deficiency also include high cholesterol, hypochlorhydria (see Heartburn - at last I have sussed out why this is such a common problem) and inability to sweat. The tongue is often enlarged, and when protruded, fills the entire space between the corners of the lips. Some people get confused about iodine and iodide. Iodide is the state of iodine when it bonds with another element, such as potassium. In this form, iodine can be ingested or applied topically. Until 2007, in the United States, Lugol's solution was unregulated and available over the counter as a general reagent, an antiseptic, a preservative, [31] or as a medicament for human or veterinary application.I, even though it was known to be a non-optimal agent, due to its somewhat toxic free-iodine content. [25] Other sources state that pure potassium iodide solution in water ( SSKI) was eventually used for most of the thyroid protection after this accident. [26] There is "strong scientific evidence" for potassium iodide thyroid protection to help prevent thyroid cancer. Potassium iodide does not provide immediate protection but can be a component of a general strategy in a radiation emergency.
