 i bought a botte of liqui-kelp cause I couldn't find Lugols anywhere and it says four drops aday which is 150mcg which hardly seems like anything to me. How many Mcg's should I take a day. I feel I'm Iodine deficent, no energy, low body temp, (96.2-96.6 degrees). any suggestions??

You can get 2 oz of 2% lugols at www.swansonvitamins.com for $12+shipping and handling, they have also recently started carrying iodoral 180 tabs for $37.

Drs. Brownstein, Flechas and Abraham recommend AT MINIMUM 25mg iodine to keep pace with the toxic halides -- bromide and fluoride -- in our environment that blocks our iodine receptors all over our bodies and causes many health problems.   We are all iodine deficient and bromide toxic and detox symptoms will occur as our body's begin throw off bromides.   These symptoms may include:

Bromide Detox Strategies

1. Salt Loading.
2. Stopping iodine for 48 hours to rest the kidneys.
3. Reducing the iodine dose temporarily, then working back up.
4. Taking several grams vitamin C spread out throughout the day along
   with the Iodine Companion Nutrients.
5. Drinking more water.
6. Pulse-dosing (stopping and restarting iodine therapy.)
7. According to Iodine users with skin symptoms, adding 25 mg zinc often 
helps.

Iodine-related bromide symptoms may include but are 
not be limited to:

eye lid twitching
foot twitching
tingling in hands or feet
dark thoughts (e.g., there is no reason to live)
depression (e.g., there is no reason to get out of bed)
anxiety
emotionality
mouth and tongue sores and cuts or "sore mouth"
"different" acne,"bromide acne," "acne-like eruptions" without "coniform." 
(Some iodine users found zinc helps bromide acne.)
skin "cuts"
hair loss
brain fog
leg and hip ache (feels like arthritis)
rash (bromaderma)
metallic  taste
sinus ache
runny nose
headache
sedation
lethargy
odd swallowing sensation (reported in old  medical literature as "swollen 
glottis")
body odor (bromos is Greek for stench)
unusual urine odor
dry mouth
ureteral spasm, frequent urination (mistaken for urinary infection)
diarrhea
constipation
vision changes
irritability
increased salivation
dream changes
hormone changes
kidney pain
