the reasons for high doses of strong Iodine are created by modern life.
also, because of how dependent we are even for someone to mix the Lugols for us(i have done it myself and its easier than baking or even bartending), it would be nothing to slip something into the strange and strong taate of Lugols without us even knowing it.
this is the saving grace of iodoral, imho. at least is in the double digit range of cost instead of quadruple, which is what pharm shoots for.
