I accidentally swallowed 5 drops of betadine ... and ya know what? I lived

[@janedoe2596]

So because western medical doctors don't know how to read and interpret thyroid labs we shouldn't take a higher dose? BAD and dangerous advice. I went severely hypo and NDT or T3 only wasn't bringing up my heart rate. I sat around 43bpm walking and less when sitting.... began to develop severe problems. Adding more medication to push or speed my metabolism is dangerous. After extensive research and having an alternative medical degree, quickly I knew it was bromide toxicity and low iodine. I've been taking without labs or urine testing because 90 percent of mainstream doctors of idiots and don't know or are scared to test, I started taking 50-75mg daily. Finally my heart rate has stabilized. I am having detox symptoms as expected and that's from the bromide. To advise people not to take that amount is just wrong. AT that amount they'll just piss it out if they're tissues and glands are saturated with the iodine.

That Iodine gel is called betadine. Years ago, while in a hospital, I heard of a case where a lifelong disabled person who needed multiple surgeries became allergic to betadine from the use of it to prep for surgery. I think that's why it isn't used as much anymore. It's interesting how Iodine is used to disinfect things. I was using a dropperful of Lugol's Iodine in my wash water basin to disinfect fresh vegetables I was using for juicing and for salads. I alternated with using a 1/8 cup of diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide. I used to take 2 to 6 drops of Lugol's Iodine in my juices daily, along with 60 mg of Armour Thyroid. I did this for 3 years. Now my thyroid is better, and I switched to putting a heaping Tablespoon of Dulse in my smoothies.

[@shantinaturechild6385]

Dulse is not enough but I'm glad you're better. See Dr Flechas on iodine on KZbin and facebook group "iodine protocols" to learn more if you like.

Probably you're low on iodine so If you don't want to test then just take some. You'll piss out the extra so no worry. I've been taking 5 drops of 5% lugols twice a day. I like this doc but he is way overboard on the testing.

The 15% Lugol solution has a total iodine content of 6.32 mg per drop of 0.05 mL; the 2% solution has 0.84 mg total iodine content per drop.

[@shantinaturechild6385]

I don't think that's correct. I know that 16 drops of 5% solution is 100mg which makes it 6,25 mg per drop. There are charts online.

This is incorrect. 5% j crows Lugols solution is 6.25 mg total iodine and iodide. 2% is approximately 2.5 total.

Are the tablets as effective as the drops. Some people say no.

[@shantinaturechild6385]

Of course! The amount counts. I put the drops into empty capsules or mix in a smoothie corner and eat it. See Dr Flechas on iodine on KZbin and facebook group like "iodine protocols". Dr Osborne is usually spot on, he has to learn some more on iodine.

[@iamthefiremanjj]

Anyone know why i feel absolutely horrendous when i take iodine ?

[@derrickbyal8462]

It's possible that you're experiencing a healing crisis. Your body is expelling halides and making you feel horrible.

[@DC-vx7uj]

Because it's toxic

[@derrickbyal8462]

So that does beg the question, how much and what type are you taking. And are using it with selenium?

[@mihaelaiacob3629]

The same ! I feel horrible when I take small doses, but felt excellent when I took the 50 mg.

[@gingersnap9712]

​@DC-vx7uj you shouldn't be speaking about something you clearly have no clue about. Iodine releases the real toxins, fluoride and bromine from your body and can cause the hersberger reaction. You should read iodine why you need it and can't live without it to educate yourself

OK, I have no idea how to measure a microgram because we use ounces here and Lugol's iodine comes with a "dropper" with no directions. 👉So how many "drops" will be equal 200 mcg?

1 drop of lugol's 2% is equivalent to 2.5 mg of iodine not micrograms

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Now I understand why when I took for the first time ever taken Lugos. I took 10 drops and it sent me into a moderate thyroid storm . Where I had to once again add back a high Blood Pressure medication until I stabilized over a course of a few days. I restarted the logos with 3 drops and worked up to five rops In water each day and now I seem to be doing fine. 10 drops was way too much to start off at. I believed this one little nodule that I have soaked it up so quickly It sent me into a moderate thyroid storm.

An upside down myth.

[@ginoasci2876]

One brand makes a dose of 3000mcg, and other brand makes a dose of 250mcg, you’re saying that 12.5mg is safe, so please explain why anyone would make a dose as low as 250mcg ? Is it because of the RDA @ 200mcg average ? A 1oz bottle is supposed to last 15 months @ 250mcg per day, 2 drops. That’s 158,750mcg for the 15 months. Which is 158.75MG total for the 15 months. The Japanese consume minimum of 12.5MG per day. Which is 5687.5MG for the 15 months. MINIMUM 5687.5mg - 158.75mg = 5528.75mg difference for the 25 months. Why such a huge gap if it’s so safe at 12.5mg - 25mg per day ? Another question I have is, has anyone had any side effects for ingesting one or two drops? If yes, what happened ?
