 Fibromyalgia or hypothyroid Aug 26, 2008
By T. Gunby
"Tanya"
I have been sick 6 years with "fibromyalgia" and recently a naturopath gave me lugol's iodine to use on my skin. I was surprised how fast it absorbed. I have heard if you absorb the iodine within 24 hours, you're deficient. I'm still tentative because I have tried everything for chronic fatigue and pain, but for the past few days I've gotten out of bed with energy and very little pain. It's cold and rainy in my area which means I usually have a very hard time moving around. Not so right now. I'm excited that this could all be explained very simply.
When I was first diagnosed, I recalled an article I had read when I was 15 about a woman who had hypothyroid and her symptoms. I thought for sure this was my problem, but my tests always come back normal. More extensive testing was done, which came back low-normal. I didn't realize some that test within normal ranges are still treated for hypothyroid based on their symptoms.

The American RDA is too low Feb 22, 2009
By m20042004

Severe iodine deficiency is a pandemic in this country as well as others. Nearly all of the illness of modern times, especially the last 60 years, have their roots deeply entrenched primarily in iodine deficiency, due to adulteration of our agricultural soil and depletion of this mineral, polluting our water with fluoride and chlorine, poisoning all our grain based foods with bromides. The thyroid, an organ that has a very central role in immunity, all hormone production and regulation, and body temperature control. We just cannot function properly without replenishing lost reserves and a good maintance dose of this element (15-20mg/day). Therefore signs of severe lack of this mineral will result in recurrent and resistant infections such as UTIs, candida, other fungal infections, parasitic, and bacterial infections, all sorts of cancers, cysts, benign or malignant resulting from chronic cellular injury and inflammation from these systemic infections. Iodine/iodide , in the right amounts and treatment time, will heal all eczemas, acne, skin tags, moles, and other long standing skin problems you may have that are of unknown cause. Look into therapeutic dosages (in mg not drops) used by Dr. Lugol, Dr. Brownstein, and Dr. Truss, for guidance (their therapeutic doses ranged anywhere from 150mg - 1g+ per day). The Lugol's solution should be at least 7%, 10 or 12% is best. Lugol's solution, as a part of a dramatic large scale lifestyle change, has healed me from a recurrent UTI problem I had my whole life, and has also healed my Interstitial Cystitis. I hope you are able to be open-minded enough to educate yourself on the dangers and ignorance of modern health care providers, and the drive behind promoting synthetic and inefficient Rx drugs, that only treat the symptoms of a deficiency based problem.

Great Book and Iodine Success Feb 09, 2008
By Beverly J. Charbonneau
"Learning Health and Healing"
This was a very informative book, although repetitive at time. I've started using the iodine with great success. I'm using it in conjunction with coconut oil for Thyroid problems. I have noticed more energy, my hair is glossy again and I have experienced some weight loss. Thank you for this information!

I'm positive it was the iodine that helped me get over rosacea Jan 10, 2009
By Marilyn L. James
"marijamnc"
For years I had rosacea and it seemed to be getting worse as time went on. Then I hit perimenopause with its hot flashes and palpatations and mood swings. I decided to try iodine, putting a circle about the size of a quarter on my skin somewhere where I could watch it. If it absorbed within 12 hours, then I knew that I was deficient and kept putting it on until it was no longer absorbing. After six months, my rosacea is completely gone, my hot flashes are not nearly so bad and my palpitations are much less. Before I started using the iodine, my doctor had me on thyroid medication and blood pressure medicine and I felt even worse than I had before. The iodine worked for me.

A Must Read! Aug 18, 2008
By Sarah Highland
I had a thyroid tumor when I was 9 months pregnant. I had it removed 2 weeks after I had my baby and am left with half of a thyroid. I wish I had read this book before my pregnancy. My baby is two now and has turned out very healthy, active, and intelligent--but I feared the worst.
Doctors all rejected the idea that the tumor could be from lack of iodine. If I had had the tumor 60 years before this, doctors would probably have addressed iodine deficiency first. This book explains the need for iodine in a understandable way for the layman. I wish every doctor knew of the information inside of it. It gives simple solutions to serious problems through iodine supplementation. I have read as many books on thyroid health that I can get my hands on and this one along with Broda Barnes' book is by far my favorite.
