  5.0 out of 5 stars New Lease on Life!!!

  I have been suffering from chronic fatigue for over two years. There was a point where I remained in bed for 20-22 hours per day. It was too much work to get out of bed, too much work to do pretty much anything. At that time, I taught a few fitness classes per week and was collecting unemployment (as I just lost my job of 8 years a few months earlier). I would force myself up, shower and teach my class, return home and crash until I had to do it again. I've tried many things to try and regain my energy. I switched to a gluten free diet, and that gave me enough energy to zombie through the day, but I had no motivation to do anything. I had to mentally prepare to do anything out of my usual schedule. My family and friends couldn't understand how I never wanted to go anywhere or do anything. My bed was where I wanted to be, or at least I wanted it close by. As I continued the gluten-free diet, I regained about 20ish percent of my usual energy. Enough to get through the day with many naps inbetween. I stated drinking green tea. That helped for about a week, and i guess my body got used to it. I tried increasing carbs...that made me feel more slugglish. I started taking various supplements including iron (as I was diagnosed anemic) hoping that would help my chronic fatigue. Black Strap Molasses someone told me. Didn't help. Green SMoothies....Didn't help. Trial and error, trial and error. I ordered J. Crow's Lugol's Iodine Solution back in July. The Dietician said...."NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, don't take that. You can get iodine poisoning. You get enough iodine from processed foods and salt." She has the degree, i was just fatigued, so i listned to her. I started doing this food tracking app to see if I was getting enough calories. I was getting plenty. Over the course of six months, i've had about 15 vials of blood drawn. Levels are all normal. I began breaking out in hives. Chronic Urticaria. Brain Fog....losing memory....i'm too young for this. Anyway, no real answers....i was on my own. In October, I came across this Iodine that I ordered months ago. Since i've tried everything else, I figured it was worth a try. I started with two drops in a glass of water. It was disgusting. Nothing. The next day I did another two drops....again nothing, but the taste wasn't so bad. I increased to three drops the following day -- i couldn't taste the iodine in the water at all. I started playing around with th enumber of drops and the times of day I would consume the iodine. I worked my way up to six drops three times a day and viola ---it happened. I was AWAKE ALL DAY....i couldn't lye down, even if i tried. I still had ups and downs energy-wise, but i was having more ups than downs. THIS WAS REAL PROGRESS!!!!!!!! I worked my way to 8 drops in every bottle of water I drank. FOr me, that seems to do the trick. I feel motivated to clean, cook, to do everyday stuff that "normal, non-fatigued" people do all the time. I once told my dietician..... "if I didn't know myself, and didn't go through depression before, I would think I'm depressed." That feeling went away. This is what life is like. I began to supplement with adrenal suppport a few times a week. ......Side effects: - I feel thirsty all the time -- I crave my iodine water. - I go to the bathroom ALL the time. ---i guess i'm flushing out toxins......who knows, i feel better so i'm not stopping - INCREASED ENERGY - Brain fog disappeared - Internal motivation - I'm awake to enjoy life.You only have one life to live.... it's short at best. ..... Live life to the fullest. You will come across many naysayers in your journey towards health. Say Nay to the naysayers and do what you feel is best for your body. YOU are the one who has to live in your own body.

  5.0 out of 5 stars DECEMBER 27, 2013 UPDATE ****** VERY POSITIVE REPORT BASED ON 100 MG PER DAY :)

  I only came upon the idea that we needed supplemental iodine about 6 weeks ago. I spent 2 weeks researching, which included watching a couple of Dr. Brownstein's conference messages on YouTube, reading the JCrow's Logol's 2% and 5% Iodine solutions Bolo Reviews, and purchasing one book for my Kindle. I also spent some time looking at the 'opposition', you can read that to mean the establishment medical community.So I ordered the single bottle about 4 weeks ago, and started with a very small amount daily in grape juice. My initial dose was only 5 drops. I wanted to end up at 50 mg (about 20 drops of the 2% solution) and ramped up my dosage quickly, I was at 50 mg (Iodine) within a matter of 5 days. After about 2 weeks i switched from grape juice to orange juice. I couldn't taste the iodine in either of those juices.After about 2 weeks using the OJ, I realized that I might be better off not putting into a citric juice due to reports that citric acid does something to the iodine (not sure but I figure I want max benefit so I won't take any chances). I went to just water. So then about 3 weeks ago I went from 50 mg to 100 mg (40 drops of the 2%).So what's happening? I can happily report that my body's reaction has been nothing less than amazing. Within a few days on 50 mg, I became much more energetic and mentally clear-headed. I, like so many of my fellow Americans, have become sluggish and foggy-brained over the past 20 years (i'm 58). Please understand that this iodine supplementation is the 'next' item in a series of things I have been doing for the past year or so (more on those other items later).I have felt more 'non-fatigued' in the past month than I have for my entire life (when I was a medic in the Army back in the late 70s, one of our pilots told me that I was the most tired young man he had ever known). So I won't belabor the point.....but will just leave it at 'astounding'.So why do I take it? I learned in my research that a. we don't get enough iodine for our thyroid (primarily) and other (secondarily) glands. And to make matters worse, our constant exposure to the other halogens (Fluorine, Bromine, and Chlorine) creates a situation where those other halogens attach themselves to our 'iodine receptors', effectively replacing a necessary mineral with a toxic mineral.IMPORTANT NOTE: as you will see in other reviews and on various websites, additional iodine alone is not going to give you great results....I probably don't have to complete story, but I can say that you need to look at your intake of the Vitamin B complex, Magnesium, and Selenium. It seems that these are important in the thyroid gland's ability to actually USE the iodine.Additionally, I understand (and have been taking) that an unrefined sea salt (I bough Real Salt on Bolo) is helpful to keep the detox effects of freeing all the bad halogens into the bloodstream. I have had 2 episodes of detox symptoms. The first was about 5 days after going to 100 mg and on a 1-10 scale (10 being worst symptoms) I'd rate those 2 days as about a 6 or 7 in terms of lethargy/sluggishness. Then about a week later I had a 1 day detox symptoms event and that would rate maybe a 4 (not too bad).So my next big question is, 'what about my excess weight'? I need to lose a lot! Like 70 pounds. I want to see what happens naturally with what I think will be an increased metabolism coupled with a decreasing appetite. Give me 6 months and I'll report back.Other supplements: Garden of Life organic fiber, GoL Code multi for men wiser than 50, Amazing Grass superfood, a one bottle use of dessicated bovine thyroid tissue, Kyolic garlic, 1 G of Vit C, 1 tsp Real Salt daily in warm water plus add'l amount sprinkled on my food, Resveterol (sp), and CoQ10. I try and drink lots of H20.Overall I would highly recommend that you consider supplementing with iodine....I like the 40 drops per day....will probably continue with that 4 at least 3 months, but at some point will probably drop it to 20 drops per day.And oh, one more thing....I tell EVERY ONE I know or see or sit next to on flights about Iodine and Dr. Brownstein. Now I've also told you! :)**************************UDPATE ON DECEMBER 27, 2013*****************************Wow! I can't believe it's been 3 months since I first started my 2 drops per day of Lougals 2% Solution. As last reported daily intake was 100 mg, I upped it to 150 mg (60 drops) in early December.I feel that I have done all the mega dosing that I need to do. I am going to start dropping my dosage by 10 drops a day once a week. So I'll drop to 50, then 40, 30, and finally end up at 20 drops per day. I will do that for 3 months and then evaluate how it's done for me. I will keep the other supplements mentioned in my original review as they are.So how am I doing? Well, my energy level has remained strong outside of the times when I feel I am detoxing. They've not lasted more than a day, maybe two, except for my most recent one (which just ended upon waking up this morning) and it lasted about a week. So I just made sure I did salt water (1 tsp RealSalt) daily and 3 grams of Vitamin C. I was glad that it was over.So all day today was spent running around south Florida purchasing and registering a utility trailer, buying 2 ten foot kayaks, and getting a trailer hitch installed on a car. I've actually got the energy, enthusiasm, and desire to get out on some of our beautiful FL waterways and paddle up and down the manatee zones. Bottom line....it has really improved my base energy level. Even when I don't feel that great, I still am more prone to do more than I would ever have normally done in the recent past. I'm speaking of activities.Weight loss...that's an area that hasn't shown any signs of activity. I am not watching my diet that well, maybe you could say moderately watching it. I read somewhere a week or two ago that it can take up to 5 years for the thyroid to regain it's optimum function after starting iodine therapy. So for me I'm looking at a one year and a two year evaluation on how it's doing in this area.So tomorrow I'll be happy to drop my dosage to 50 drops. I'll try and update this post again in April. In the meantime, make sure to g o o g l e dr. brownstein - iodine - and he's got two different YT vids...both are just over an hour long, both worth watching in spite of some material being duplicated.

  4.0 out of 5 stars It's a Good Weird

  I am a "Pranic" /"Qigong" healer and I have a skin condition that won't go, but this is not about that, I am fluent in Chinese meridian pressure point, And I found out that upon doing that on one meridian, the muscles become looser and I can stretch and point my right toe like a ballerina. BTW, I'm a guy...I'd also did Yoga for more than 11 years, so I know my body extremely well.Also, I have patches of dry skin because of lack of flexibility that came from an old injury. And when I rubbed it on that patch, it scrubbed off. Pretty weird.I will add more details later.
