If you do find yourself with a cold or flu bug this winter season, a great source of healing remedy is found in 5% Lugol’s solution. Utilized by doctors since the mid 1800’s to treat infections including staphylococcal, colds & flu along with worse conditions such as thyroidism (both hypo & hyper known as goitre), cystic conditions of the breast & ovaries as well as prostatitis in men, PMS, anxiety, mood disorder, sub-optimal hormonal response, alopecia, candida, bladder infections, acne, dermatitis, brittle hair & nails & cold extremities to name a few… There are very few side effects with use, as any excess is excreted in your urine. It’s safe for kids too, just use a smaller dosage is all that is required; it will break a fever & allow healing to rapidly increase. You can dispense up to 4X per day when feeling ill.
Treatment dosage is usually doubled when fighting a bug or infection. The doctors from the Iodine Group in the US recommend regular dosages of 12.5mg to 50mg of 5% Lugol’s solution. Since each drop of Lugol’s at 5% concentration contains about 6.25 mg of iodine, so 8 drops gets you to 50mg. Since Lugol’s is caustic by nature, please dissipate on when used directly on the skin as it can burn. Use it
