Iodine is a trace mineral and an essential component of key thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones regulate the metabolic activities of most cells and play a vital role in the process of early growth and development of most organs, especially the brain. Inadequate intake of iodine leads to insufficient production of these hormones, which adversely affect muscle, heart, liver, kidney and the developing brain
Iodine deficiency is now known to be the most prevalent and easily preventable cause of impaired cognitive development in children in the world. There are at least 30 million suffering from this preventable condition

Iodine is the most electron-rich element required by the animal kingdom
“Supplementing with high dose iodine may be the safest, simplest, most effective, and least expensive way to solve the healthcare crisis crippling our nation.” – Dr. Guy Abraham, M.D. (Endocrinologist, Author, Dedicated researcher of the benefits of iodine supplementation)
We do not recommend iodised table salt – a far superior choice is Himalayan salt, widely available (also at this webstore)
—————-
Check for Iodine deficiency with this Simple Home Test:
Put a small amount of iodine tincture (R2 coin size) on the inner left arm – it will leave a orange colour
See how long before the colour fades
If 1-5 hours = extremely deficient
If fades within 10 hours = deficient
The idea is to still see some slight colour after 20 hours

Iodine – “The Universal Medicine”
5% Lugol’s Solution Dosage Chart
2 drops 5% Lugol’s Solution – contains 5mg iodine and 7.5mg iodide
(5%Lugol’s solution contains 50 mg iodine and 75 mg iodide / ml; above calculation
based on 20 drops/ml)
Make sure you are not allergic to Lugol’s solution (5%) – rub a drop into back of forearm and leave for 24 hours to see if there is any reaction.
For internal doses, always take Lugol’s in 120 -180 mls of water/juice/milk – preferably with a tsp. of apple cider vinegar for slight acidification;
Don’t take iodine at the same time as Vitamin C – which will negate disinfectant effect of iodine; Take vitamin C at least 2 hours before or after taking Lugol’s solution.
Antidotes for iodine overdose
/ Chocolate or cocoa –high in bromine which displaces iodine;
/ Vitamin C – take 1/4tsp. (~2.5g) in juice or water

| Acne | 2 drops/day | |
| Antibacterial /Antiviral, /Antifungal | 2 drops/day | |
| Atrial Fibrillation /Arrhythmias | Build from 1 up to 5 drops Then 1-2 drops for maintenance | A gradual build-up, holding each new dose level for a few days and monitoring for any problems is advised, until your heart begins to beat smoothly, at which point your body is receiving sufficient iodine (for most people this is around 9-30mg).Stay at this dose for 3 months, then begin to cut back each week. If you begin to feel your heart act up again, you have gone past your maintenance dose -Generally, this is around 3-12 mg. |
| Baldness | Rub in for~ 3 months | Eventually a crust forms, beneath which fine hairs will start to grow; Can use decolorized tincture of iodine (doesn’t stain) |
| Bladder infection | 1-2 drops 4x/day | Works better than antibiotics; |
| Cancer | 4 drops 2x/day | Dr. Brownstein used from 200mg (i.e. 8 drops 4x/day) up to 300 mg for prostate and breast cancer patients having metastases. Use iodine in a nebulizer for lung cancer; |
| Candida | 8 drops/day | In blood |
| Cholesterol (high) |
2-4 drops/day | Iodine reduces Lipoprotein (a) and acts as antioxidant to prevent oxidative damage to arterial walls; |
| Chronic
bronchitis/COPD /Emphysema |
3-6 drops/day | Remarkable expectorant (removes excessive mucus in chronic lung diseases); Reduces bronchial infection with regular use; Iodine can be put into a nebulizer for aerosol treatment for transdermal effect into the lung tissues in the case of lung cancer, emphysema, asthma and tuberculosis. |
| Cold / Flu | 6 drops, 2-3 x over 24 hours | |
| Cuts/scabs | Apply | Prevents infection, aids healing; |
| Dermatitis | Apply Lugols with Q-tip | Dab the dermatitis with soaked Q-tip; If on the face use decolorized iodine tincture; sensitive skin (E.g. around your nose) will sting. Don’t inhale fumes while it dries (~10 secs). Apply vitamin E oil(E.g. from capsule) to keep area moist day and night and prevent reddened, dry skin from flaking. Do the topical iodine for 2 days, 3x a day.After the 2nd day, cut back to 1x a day, but keep going with the vitamin e oil.After 3 days of 1x daily application, cut the iodine back to every other day for 10 days (or less).Keep up the vitamin e oil every day until the dermatitis has disappeared completely.Initially the skin will look red and inflamed, but the vitamin E speeds up the healing process.” |

| Fibrocystic Disease of the Breast (FDB) |
4 drops twice/day | This dose has been observed to reduce FDB to insignificance in 3-6 months.MINIMUM amount of iodine |
| required for control and prevention of FDB is equivalent to 0.1 mg/kg body weight/day (this is the amount used by Ghent et al). For example, for a 110 # woman, the minimum daily amount of iodine would be 5 mg. | ||
| Fibrotic
conditions / Keloids |
Rub in 3x/day Mix 50/50w/ DMSO | Dupuytren’s contracture (thickening along a tendon/pulls finger down towards palm) / Peyronie’s disease (thickening along penis shaft / painful erections); + Taking 2g PABA 3x/day helps;

| Nuclear Power plant Accident | See Radioactive Fallout Lugol’s doses | In the event of a nuclear power plant accident, the Japanese government gives those affected 50 mg of iodide/day to prevent thyroid cancer from the thyroid’s excessive absorption of radioactive iodine. Japanese typically consume high amounts of iodine/iodide in Kelp. |
| Ovarian Cyst | Dose similar to FDB | |
