jd,
IMO, this testimonial is pretty typical of what the long time participants have discovered:
//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=2174442
The
Iodine doctors Brownstein, et al recommend
Lugols or iodoral which contain both
Iodine & iodine.
Different parts of the body prefer one or the other:
* Our body requires both
Iodine AND
Iodide (lugols iodine & iodoral capsules recommended)
- - - kidneys, spleen, liver, blood, & intestines can use either form
- - -
Iodide (
SSKI ) is used by the thyroid + skin + Salivary
Thyroid needs 3% prefers
Iodide

Muscles (650mg) and fat needs(700mg iodine) 70%

However we have discovered that more
Lugols &
SSKI is better, just as reported by b3nault & Trapper.
Bottom line, each of us experiments with the right dosage that feels the best.
We also have testimonials that confirm it takes more than 50mg of iodine to completely detox, confirming what Trapper says. The iodine doctors do allegedly recommend up to 300mg of Lugols for the iodine deficiency diseases.
