Re: newbie questions :)

Iosol is 1830 mcg per drop, or 1.8 mg. To get to 50 mg, you'd need 28 drops.

It's easier to get too much iodine than it is iodide. Trapper has recounted how he got up to 300 mg Lugol's, and was having difficulty with it until he applied magnets, which is believed to loosen the iodine I₂ bond and make it easier to metabolize. I can handle 150 mg Iodoral -- in fact, I don't sleep well unless I use this amount -- but any additional amount has to come from potassium iodide (SSKI drops).

These are refinements you can worry about later. For now, see what Iosol can do for you. Then decide if it's enough, or if you want to explore further.
