Although I wish we could know more about your sugery, hospital stay, and history with medications (including the present) perhaps the details are not important. Welcome. This is a forum whose members embrace all those who have found themselves here. We like you already.

A handful or more of the members who initiated this forum have put great effort into preparing material to assist you. Tens of members have also provided worthy support material. This forum is loaded with an immeasurable amount of information which can and should change your life.

You ask a very good question and have presented some essential information to us already.

Because of my own recent confusion regarding the content ratio of Iodine vs. Iodide (see Wombat's reccommended posts) of Lugols vs. Iodoral, I will not be able to answer the specific question you pose but others will be better equipped. Ultimately, this decision is yours.

It appears to me that Iodoral and Lugols have distinctly different ratios of ide/ine. I consider this substantial enough that your answer reaches beyond the notion of pill vs. tincture. I'm hopeful that clarification of this distinction I mention avails itself so to guide you in your decision.

Until that time, I offer Wombat's most recent post regarding the thyroid, and more - Iodide vs. iodine:

//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=890301

>>"It was thought that the intestinal tract could easily convert Iodine to iodide, but research has shown this is not true. Different tissues of the body respond to different forms of iodine. The thyroid gland primarily utilizes ioDIDE....the breasts, on the other hand, primarily utilize ioDINE....

Because different tissues concentrate different forms of iodine, using a supplement that contains both Iodine and Iodide is preferable to using a supplement that contains only one form, As mentioned above, the breasts concentrate iodine. The prostate gland concentrates iodine. The thyroid gland and the skin primarily concentrate iodide. Other tissues, including the kidneys, spleen, liver, blood, salivary glands and intestines can concentrate either form. With different tissues responding to different forms of iodine, it would make common sense that a greater therapeutic benefit from iodine will be achieved by using a COMBINATION OF IODINE AND IODIDE. My clinical experience has proven, beyond a doubt, that a combination of IODINE/IODIDE (e.g., Lugol's or Iodoral) is much more effective than an iodide only supplement(e.g., SSKI and most other liquid iodide formulations)."<<


And now In-love's post regarding iodoral:

>>Iodoral® is a precisely quantified tablet form containing 5mg. iodine and 7.5mg. iodide as the potassium salt & a silica-based excipient containing a non-ionic surfactant, microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable stearins and pharmaceutical glaze.<<

Finally, a cut from one of my posts yesterday from the same thread - on the dine/dide concentration in Lugols:

//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=890612


>>Iodine 5%, Potassium Iodide 10%, Water 85%.<<

Leaving it there for now. Much more from others should soon follow. Again, welcome - and thank you for developing the presence of mind to find yourself here, joining us. We hope to learn from you as you embark on your journey back to a place of physical comfort, stamina, clarity and inner peace.
