i made my own lugols

yes, i scraped up the ingredients to make it. i will say this, i got the I2 off of ebay. it cost me over $50 to make 500ml. the only reason i am posting this is for education. here is how it went:

i took my 500ml Lugols bottle and put fifty grams of pure potassium Iodide followed by not more than 100ml of distilled water. the KI dissolved rapidly and the bottom of the bottle turned ice cold. i have no idea what kind of reaction makes this take place. i then put 30 grams of 99.8% pure Iodine i bought off of ebay. even though this was five grams over the recipe, it all dissolved very quickly, just as i expected from my reading. i then filled the bottle the rest of the way with distilled water and behold, lugols.

even though this stuff is stronger than normal making it 16% instead of 15%, it is way less nasty than that industrial floor cleaner i got from medex. it smells less acrid, yet the scent is stronger, more defined. in all fairness, the medex stuff was fine, but i wonder what the difference is. maybe it is age? i would bet on the ingredients, including the water. still using magnets. still able to take large doses every day with nothing but a better body to show for it.

another plus to doing this is that i have a remnant of Iodine in the small glass vial it came in. a flick of my bic and thats all it takes to see that beautiful purple color. i love that. Tweet
