ultimately i dont think anyone but you can determine what is the appropriate amount of Iodine intake. some people may find they get plenty from regular kelp supplementation, others may need 10 - 20 mg Lugols a day, others may need 50 mg or 100 mg Lugols a day. i do not believe it is a one size fits all prescription.

the statement - "the average human needs X mg's of idone per day" cannot be made, in my opinion. it totally depends on the individual. from reading some of the posts on the support forum i would say it seems that those with fibroid breast issues truly seem to need the higher doses. others have a negative reaction to the higher doses and wisely back off.

i do not believe that any doctor, nor any poster on an internet forum, can tell YOU what YOUR Iodine requirements are. the only way for you to know is to experiment with different dosage levels, listen closely to your body, pay attention, and then decide which intake level works best for you. all the Iodine researchers can tell you is what works for other people, which is extremely valuable information. but ultimately you are the expert when it comes to your own body.

so i think you should do all the research you can on the issue, then experiment with different dosage levels, and figure out which level works best for you. once you have found that level, dont let some "expert" tell you its too low or too high, only you live in your body and only you can ultimately determine what it does or does not need. also be aware that the level of iodine you need today can change. next week or next month you may need more, or you may need less. again you must listen closely to your body and do what you believe is the wise thing.

when all is said and done, the appropriate level is determined by a combination of much scientific research and knowledge, coupled with an innate, intuitive sense of what your body needs. right brain/left brain working together, in harmony.

good luck, and thanks for your excellent contributions here!
