"You can use any weak organic acid like vinegar, or lemon juice, but I prefer to use 50% citric acid , added in equal amounts to Lugol's solution and let it sit 3 minutes (E.g.: 6 drops of Lugol's and 6 drop of 50% citric acid in a clean glass and allow to activate for 3 minutes). Then add about 4 ozs. of water and drink. My medical intuitive friend tells me that 'activating' Lugol's in this manner, will make it a much stronger anti-viral than just using Lugol's alone."
All you are doing is converting Lugol's into SSKI . You can do the same thing by placing a vitamin C pill into the Lugols. It will instantly change color and convert the brown Iodine into clear Potassium Iodide. You are better off just buying Trapper's SSKI .
