"When used to maintain the
Iodine content of the body the dose is small and is taken only on certain days of the week. When the mineral content of the body is analyzed, only a trace of
Iodine is found. Ten drops of
Iodine represent more iodine than is found in the entire body. For this reason, the dose of
Lugol's solution of iodine is one or two drops, depending on your body weight. If you weigh 150
pounds or less, for example, your dose to maintain the normal iodine content of the body is one drop, taken at one meal on Tuesday and Friday of each week. If you weigh more than 150 pounds, the dose should be two drops instead of one. It is useful to remember that the human body works on the minimum of anything it needs. If there should be a rise in sickness in the area where you live, it would be well to take the
Lugol's solution three times a week instead of two, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for the purpose of storing up reserve. "

1. rLung (Loong) is one of the three main processes within the body
(the other two are mKhris-pa and Bad-kan) that is in a constant
state of dynamic equilibrium. Any disruption of this state of
delicate homeostasis, either from improper diet, life-style, or a
complete disregard to the change in climatic factors, brings about
a dis-order.
The primordial origin of rLung is recognized at two entirely
different levels, namely, the spiritual or mental level and the
physical or material level. The mental origin of rLung is due to
the intrinsic nature of the human specie who is constantly subject
to the basic emotions of attachment, desire, greed, quest for
power, ambition and so on. The physical origin of rLung is
Air—one of the Five Proto-elements (the others are Fire, Water,
Earth, and Space) that are the building blocks of matter—whose
intrinsic quality is coolness, mobile, rough, light, and subtle.
Although rLung is ever present, a favourable condition must arise
for it to fully manifest itself as a disorder. These may be climatic
(not wearing enough warm clothes in winter), dietetic (excess of
cooling foodstuffs such as pork or goat's meat), or the general
life-style or behaviour of the patient (malcontent, irritable, under
constant tension, stress, anxiety, and so on).
There are the following five main types of rLung: (1) Srog-'dzin;
(2) Gyen-rgyu; (3) Me-mnyam; (4) Khyab-byed; and (5) Thur-sel.
