Re: Does Lugol's interact with any vitamins, and how exactly do I go about dosing myself or increasing over time?
"Apparently there's no medical text supporting the belief to start slowly with iodine, and you can jump straight to 50mg? And is it safe to stay at 50 mg forever?"
-This forum is not medical or scientific; this is all about self experiences with
Iodine & co. Most here have chosen to take responsibility for our own health. What we recommend are based on that.
That said; I plan to stay on 100 mg of
Iodine for some time, how long I dont know, forever is a long time; I cant possibly know. This amount is for me just to keep the other halogens, fluoride / bromide, at bay. Then radiation and toxins in general.
"If not, how exactly I go about increasing it and do I have to divide it into multiple doses? (Like take 1 drop a day for 1 week, then 2 drops for another week, until 8 weeks in which I get to 50mg, then remain on that for 6 months like Dr. Brownstein recommends, then wean down a drop each week until I'm at 12.5 mg?)"
You seem to complicate things. Just get it in there. If you want to go slow, do it. I did, but I would have jumped straight into the 50 mg +, if I know what I know today.
Or, follow Brownstein if that feels safer. Your choice.
"Also... will it interact with any of the following vitamins I take, if I take it at the same time, and can it be taken with salt foods? (I use Kalas iodized
Sea Salt )"
-all elements interact with each other. In the beginning I seperated selenium from iodine, now I dont bother.
Of course it can be taken with salt foods. Salt will be your friend in the time to come.
You will need to do some reading; here is a start;

Only one comment to your supplements; make sure the selenium is the methionine form. And; take magnesium without the calcium. And up your salt!!! Real salt; I am not familiar with the one mentioned. Maybe others are.
