Re: How much iodine do I take to begin??

Yes, I agree that one likes to have a frame of reference, as to 'how much' do I take. That was one of my first questions, one that I researched the most before I bought Lugol's and started taking it.

Seems to me also, that at least taking what the Japanese people are getting in their natural diet makes sense to me, which would be between 30-46 mgs. a day based on averages for statistics. Some may get more, some less. But at least we know there are people taking higher amounts of Iodine, then what is recommeneded and doing much better than we are with thyroid problems and disease.

Where you are with regard to how healthy your body really is also makes a big difference in how one feels on what amounts of Iodine is taken. Striving for a clean body from the inside out, doing those things that accomplish it, like diet, support supplementation for the Iodine, exercise and so much else makes a huge difference when taking something like Iodine (Oh..there is nothing like Iodine:)because of the detoxing element of it.

But really I want the new people coming by, to know it isn't that hard to read the facts here, and to apply them to your life. It just seems complex and confusing because it's new and there is a learning curve, but I did it in a few months, and I am getting to feel I have a solid understanding of what Iodine does, and how my body functions with none, some, too much, and just the right amounts!
