I like to take the elemental Iodine crystals like lozenges, let sit right under the tongue. Does not seem toxic to me. Yup Yup.

The body requires both Iodine & potassium iodide:
* Our body requires both Iodine AND Iodide (lugols Iodine & iodoral capsules recommended)
- - - Iodine is used by the prostate + Stomach
- - - Iodide ( SSKI ) is used by the thyroid + skin + Salivary
- - - kidneys, spleen, liver, blood, breasts & intestines can use either form
Thyroid needs 3% prefers Iodide
Skin needs 20% and prefers iodide
Salivary Glands prefer iodide
Muscles (650mg) and fat needs(700mg iodine) 70%
Breast tissue needs 3-5 mg / day minimum and prefers iodine
Prostate prefers iodine
Stomach prefers iodine
Lungs prefer iodide
Entire body stores 1500 mg 1.5 gm total
* Dr Brownstein Recommended supplements = Lugols Liquid or iodoral 12 or 50 mg caps

History proves Iodine to be safe & effective
Iodine has been used extensively as an effective medicine for well over 100 years, and has only recently been censored by the drug companies and removed from Med Schools Training since WWII.
Special Report by Gabriel Cousens, MD, MD(H), DD
In 1911, 900 milligrams daily were considered usual and safe doses.
In 1950 the Japanese had 100 times more iodine!in!their diet than Americans. In 2001 they had 202 times more iodine than Americans and were using up to 13.8 milligrams daily!
A shocking 96% deficiency in Americans
Iodine is found in every single one of our body’s hundred trillion cells. Without! adequate iodine levels life is impossible.
Iodine is the universal health nutrient that brings health on many levels.
Higher dosages were used in 1917 through 1922, when Dr.David Marine proved that iodine reversed goiter in a study in which 2,000 school girls were given an equivalent of 18.6 milligrams daily (18,600 micrograms day) for 2!½ years with a dramatic success rate.
In 2003 Dr. Zhang showed that 100 mg Potassium Iodide reversed lung cancer tumors in mice.
In 1993, Dr. Ghent administered to 1,368 patients 5 milligrams (5,000 micrograms) daily with no evidence of the WolfSChaikoff theoretical problem of hypothyroidism.
The Iodine Project, from 1997 through
2005, Dr.Abraham, Dr.Brownstein, and Dr. Flechas followed 4,000 patients and administered 12.5 to 100 milligrams daily, with 100 milligrams administered to diabetics primarily, because low thyroid function is also associated with Type 2 diabetes. They had positive results with only three adverse reactions out of 4,000 people (possibly allergic reactions to the binding agents, excipients, fillers, preservatives or synthetics commonly found in tablets, capsules as opposed to the bioavailable form of iodine itself).
Glands/organs/systems! with high iodine uptake are the breasts, ovaries, cervix, blood, lymph, bones, gastric mucosal, salivary, adrenal, prostate, colon, thymus, lungs, bladder, kidney, and skin.
There are more than twenty two functions of iodine! These important! functions!include- Read report for details
