Thats what I want to know.


Heh..that isn't that much iodine...=/ 1 Iodoral tablet has 8333% of the daily value. Do not be fooled by the FDA's RIDICULOUSLY low daily values. Their values across the board with EVERYTHING is INSANELY low.

Here are some examples so you don't think I am just blowing smoke...
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)75 mg ---I take 6 grams a DAY...That would be 8,000% above their RDA...
Zinc 15 mg ---Andy Cutler says 50-100mg
Fluorine 3.5 mg ---Fluoride is a nutrient!
Vitamin D 200IU ---I take 5000-10,000IU and STILL low
Vitamin E 22.5IU (15mg) ---Andy Cutler says 1000IU+

I'd be careful to take what they say with any weight. They are the ones that allow mercury in the damn amalgams. If they are crooks when it comes to that, then they are crooks when it comes to the RDA.

I did the iodine detox about 14 months ago. I took the 1 tablet my doctor recommended for about 3 months. Then when I began looking into what iodine actually did, I decided to experiment for a while. The curezone iodine supplementation forums were amazing. I did a lot of reading about it before I upped it.

I personally like the iodoral tabs. That way you know exactly what you are taking and you can half them or even cut them in quarters if you need to. This way you know there aren't any contaminates in it either. The lugol's solution is good too, but you can't get the same potency in the solution anymore because the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) banned it. Saying that people were making meth out of it....

I took 2 tablets together in the morning for about 2 months. Even then I noticed the revving of my body. If I took the iodine too late in the day it actually kept me up at night. Then I added another tablet. I took 2 together in the morning, then 1 a few hours later. I didn't want to take 3 all at once.

I stayed on that for a long time about 3-4 months. I told my naturopath about it and he wanted to get my thyroid checked to make sure it was working okay with all that iodine. My levels in fact got BETTER! My morning temperatures went up by a degree!

Now I stay on 1 tablet a day. This way any new bromide, fluoride that enters the body is released immediately. I don't think long term high dose iodine is helpful UNLESS you have had thyroid cancer, breast cancer or a cyst problem. Iodine is anti cancer and anti-cyst. It has been known to help prevent breast cancer.

Part of my "hypothyroid" problem (even with normal labs) is likely stemming from an under active pituitary (secondary hypothyroidism). Most people don't realize that the pituitary makes TSH and most doctors don't know how to treat people properly....I'd rather take iodine as a maintenance dose then Armour.
Of course the FDA will ban somethign and say this and that because it can heal you, I am just worried about the hair loss you had, that would kill me because I have no hair to fold over it lol. I am not making fun of you, but you have hair to cover it, I DO NOT!!!! I am going to try the Iodine you tried no doubt, that is a must to me now to try it without other things in it! I am going to do that, soon.... Thanks for the post Birdlady, peace.

Sorry the DEA not FDA as you mentioned, either is a joke to me and crooked as hell. BTW I know doses are insanely low to keep you sick, Canada was thinking of Magnesium at 900MG a day which is twice ours I read, but they want you to remain sick and not heal yourself, that keeps most scared IMO to go over that. I will up the Zinc to 50MG a day soon and Vitamin E up soon as well, that is a joke they have those so low. They want to keep you sick, period.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
