Well... I purchased Lugol's Iodine

I spent the night-day reading and studying your suggested information/posts, and I am in such bad physical shape I just do not want to wait any longer to get and use iodine. I'm pretty sure I've had several deficiencies my *entire* life, rarely having been completely well since the severe head injury when I was almost 2.

The Iodine history and recording items were really a hoot to listen to -- our govt. really is slowly killing us!

I purchased Lugol's from sciencestuff.com after reading about sellers and figuring the 'better than usp grade' has got to be the way to go.

I am going to begin one drop a day and increase after one week to 2 drops. I have been doing salt-loading already, although need to increase the water from 2 cups.

I get so ill when I have reactions to substances that I cannot afford to start out higher or faster on the iodine.

I have no clue how to get fluouride out of our lives -- still need to research that because I don't know what contains hidden flouride! The only toothpaste I am not allergic to is Mentadent, which does contain flouride.

One of the interesting things I have learned in my research over the past few weeks is that what we put into our mouths does not necessarily have to go down the throat to affect us. (I take my Armour thyroid bucally now, and really feel tremendous results). I plan to do oil-pulling as well, starting out in tiny amounts first, but I am only going to add one thing at a time to my regimen -- that way I'll know what is affecting me.

thanks to all who helped!

peace
