Persistent symptoms? Could it be Iodine?
When the medical professionals say your symptoms are "normal" but you want to feel better, you might need to consider what they did to relieve those symptoms before they had prescription drugs.
If you've ever wondered if you are low in iodine, try the iodine patch test.
It's a simple and easy way to find out.
Lugol’s Iodine is an orange colored solution, if you don’t have Lugol’s type iodine liquid on hand, it’s available online Click HERE and use the search bar for Iodine to buy some.
The Iodine Patch Test
The Iodine Skin Patch Test is the layman’s way to self monitor your iodine intake and your body’s ability to use iodine.
Simply put a drop or two of Lugol’s iodine onto clean dry skin. This should be either on your stomach, under your forearm or inner thigh where water washing or material won't rub on it to impact the test. Rub the drop into a quarter sized stain on your skin.
You will notice the color has changed. Make a mental note about how dark it is.
Wait for 24 hours. If the color has completely disappeared, you are iodine deficient.
The body's deficiency is proportionate - the faster the iodine is absorbed by your body, the more deficient you are.
If the stain disappears in less than four hours. This is considered a severe iodine deficiency. If the stain is gone sometime between 4 hours and 24 hours, you need to keep reading!
Treatment
If the color disappears in less than 24 hours, you may begin using the iodine as a supplement for your iodine deficiency. Please note consuming iodine in a form not approved for oral consumption is not recommended! Lugol’s iodine is the standard for oral use.
Iodine should be used on a daily basis until the body no longer absorbs the skin patch iodine quickly.
After that, you may then test at intervals to see if you have become deficient again and treat accordingly.
Always start slow and increase 1 drop at a time no faster than every 3 days. Pay attention to how you feel and adjust accordingly.
