Re: Iodine History: Iodized Cigarettes

Wombat,
You are AMAZING for digging up these histories of Iodine !

I am AMAZED that they added Iodine to cigars & cigarettes !

Here is a bit of Iodine history that I dug up:

High Doses in History - 1930’s by Dr. Sircus
We have to revisit the 1930s when iodine was still a universal medicine, present in the US Pharmacopeia and was used at much higher dosages than anyone even dreams of using today.The usual dose for treatment was 300 mgs (46 drops of full strength Lugol’s) to 1 gm (1000 mg, 154 drops). It is very important to realize that today’s Lugol’s is not universally the same as it was because of new federal legal requirements about concentration levels, where Lugols is regulated to 2% & 5%
