Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hello there, I know that there are several folks out there that have taken Lugol's solution. I too started taking this supplement because I did the patch test and realized that the iodine disappeared within 2 hours. I purchased mine from StrideIntoHealth.com (Australia) because I found that they have the appropriate percentage of ingredients. That being said, I'm following their original directions of taking 6-8 drops 4x a day - to address parasites. This dosing is supposed to be for 3 weeks and then to stop. I've just started my third week. I'd like to hear from those who have taken drops successfully to jump start their metabolism and help their thyroid. Thus far, it has done nothing for me in this regards. At the end of three weeks, should I discontinue the dosing altogether? Or should I reduce to a smaller amount (with the hope that indeed any and all parasites that I may have had would then be gone). I still feel bloated, lethargic and altogether rundown (I do think I have a head cold as I have those types of symptoms: swollen glands, sinuses, etc.). I am still hopeful since the first week I was taking it my morning temperature rose slightly.starting at 97 (or thereabouts) and going up almost a full degree. This morning however, I took it (with two thermometers) and it was even lower: 95.5 and 96.5 - I figure the 96.5 thermometer is perhaps the more accurate of the two. Can someone please tell me what they're doing and how it's working for them? I continue to do a lot of research on the topic and even painted a patch on my chest and it consistently disappears overnight (and it's a fairly large patch). Am I so deficient in iodine that it will take weeks to get it regular? Am I expecting too much too soon? How long did it take to work for people? What else should I be doing? ANY information would be grateful! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
