Re: Men do NOT paint your testicles with iodine

I have to disagree with this statement. In my experience with Iodine I have never been more successful than by paiting my scrotum with iodine.

I used to take Lugol's sublingually but after a while it wasn't having the same effect and I became worse after a while. Started off great though.

I stopped taking Iodine for a few months than I formulated the idea of painting *ONE* drop of Lugol's 2% on my scrotum per day. Not mixed with anything else.

Here are the effects over a one month trial:

- Increased testosterone on blood tests.
- Increased sperm count.
- Increased blood iron/hemoglobin count (this one fascinated me.)
- Changes in physical shape (muscles became bigger, more pronounced, my legs lost the excess water weight that I normally carry around. I gained a more "manly" shape.)
- Increased recovery speed ( I could do a hard workout and the next morning have almost no muscle soreness and have more energy than the day before.)
- Improved digestion.
- Lower cortisol and estrogen blood levels.

I mostly use the drop in the afternoon/evening after the day is over. Some days I would use two drops but it was not often.

Sugar and coffee intake seem to upset these changes anytime I consumed them. I have read that fructose destroys testosterone, I'm starting to believe it.

It's also important I found to consume enough protein, cholesterol (eggs), and fatty acids such as PUFAs in a 2:1:1 ratio. One tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of flax seed oil will do the trick for this ratio.
