[QUOTE="Gianluca, post: 232922, member: 15469"] I started this journey with Lugols two years ago, I did a few trials with it and with the Thyroid as well. Too many labs since then, but I can summarize. I don't have any recent thyroid labs, I'm actually due to labs and I feel I need a Thyroid increase, currently on half grain NDT. I just want to clarify that I have been always taken my Thyroid prior labs, and I may be learning that it could be not the right way to do it. Before the lugols supplementation, 1 grain of NP thyroid was needed to bring my FT3 to optimal, generally slightly above 4.0, range 2.0 - 4.4. Later at some point, I decided to try to stop the Thyroid for some other reasons. And with no supplementation my FT3 always come back 3.0. At that point, I started Lugols at 2.5mg daily but had no effect at all on my FT3, which was still at 3.0. Me and doc decided at that point to reintroduce half grain only at this time, and monitor blood work. FT3 went to 4.1, showing a higher absorption of NDT when coupled with Lugols, and I could tell pretty quickly how I would look better, less bloated/fat more energy. Dr Browstein, wrote in his book which I think it is called "Iodine why you need it", how once he starts people on Lugols or Iodoral, most need to adjust their Thyroid medication down, explaining that the Iodine increase Thyroid absorption. and I believe he referred to NDT only. He recommends 12.5mg to 50mg for most people. [/QUOTE]
