"There's been a lot of information and it's been hard sorting through it all.. I plan on taking my temperature every morning to see how I am progressing.. I was wondering if you feel it is necessary to supplement with Vitamin C and Selenium alongside the Iodine... if so, how much? From what I read I should take 2.5 vertical drops of the 2% Lugol's ..."

Yes it is hard in the beginning to sort out all the information, but when the brain fog start to lift; as it usually does with iodine, it gets easier.

Yes you will need vit C, Selenium + all the other companions like magnesium, salt, vit B etc.
This is what makes the Iodine adventure easier on your body. The thyroid also benefits from good fats like coconut oil.

The dosage you mention is good for a start; we take much more to get the benefits of iodine; 50-100 mgs daily and upwards! (One drop of 2% of Lugols contains approx 2,4 mg)
