Says it is 10% Potassium Iodide and 5% Iodine in an aqueous solution and shipped from Australia (5% is illegal in the US but I didn't know why at the time).
Question 1: Am I on a US watch list for drug manufacturing??
Item had a yellow "Location recorded" sticker on the box. My friend says that if you order something that the US has banned b/c of illegal drug manufacturing, you are put on a watch list. How much of this stuff can I order without being investigated? This really alarms me.
Question 2: Did I order legitimate 5% lugols?
The first day on 125mg I had flu like symptoms. The days after that, nothing but stiff knees, but I feel increasingly better. Less anxiety, more energy, and no urges to drink alcohol. So I increased to 30 drops (should be 187mg right?). Still feeling good, not detox effect. Knees are still stiff.
I thought that 5% should be approx 6.25mg per drop, and 200mg SHOULD be a massive dose. How have I not had a detox reaction if I'm taking 200mg?
I am taking my vit C withing 3 hours of the lugols, and take my first dose first thing on an empty stomach. Am thinking of taking 20 drops in am, and 10 at night to see if I can get some sort of reaction. Should I up dose until I get a reaction or leave well enough alone at 200mg? I hope I didn't spend my $$ and get on a watch list for crap!
Also please recommend a good site to purchase a good lugols if you don't mind... You never know what you're getting off these websites.
People living in America should see what they can get in America. If it is not available, look elsewhere.
For those purchasing from Australia. Australia has high standards. You can normally expect to get good quality products from anywhere in Australia. So you look for a good price.
A good place to buy a wide range of natural supplements is Newton's Pharmacy. They sell many things which may be difficult to get elsewhere.
