Thank you for your reports and the awesome article by Dr. Sircus!This article may help those who suffer from iodophobia.
I'm still on a high dose (I now take 1 gram once a week and between 200 and 400 mg other days) but decided to try just potassium iodide (sans iodine) for a while. Because inflammation is the body's way of stimulating healing and throat cancer runs in my family and I've always had throat infections (strep) since childhood, my throat has been burning (inflammation) from the Lugols even though I take it in a capsule with food and drink. But I suspect when stored bromine is being displaced by the iodine it will also cause burning. Bromine is caustic. Iodine is also a mucus membrane irritant and I've read that KI is less irritating. I'm reading everything I can find about iodine and KI and how they work at therapeutic doses. I'll be adjusting the dose until I find the therapeutic dose that causes the least discomfort (detox reaction).
My husband is still on 63 to 126 mg of Lugols daily and having no issues.
