Is J.CROW'S® Lugol's Solution of Iodine good for Arthritis? I started taking Sulfur Defence and a review said to take with this?

What is cracking me up here is how many people "answered" with "I don't know the answer." So... don't answer, people!! LOL!Arthritis is inflammation. Inflammation can be caused, in part, because your body is not absorbing nutrients or is nutrient-deficient. When your thyroid isn't functioning properly, your body won't absorb nutrients and that can lead to disease and inflammation. So, yes, it *can* be related. Overall, most people are likely deficient in iodine, so supplementing will help your health. But, right doses are important. Here is a good self-test you can do at home to check out how much you may need!! What is cracking me up here is how many people "answered" with "I don't know the answer." So... don't answer, people!!

I don't have arthritis and don't know anything about a link between iodine use or deficiency, and arthritis. I recommend the book "Iodine Why you Need it Why You Can't Live Without It" by David Brownstein. It answers all sorts of questions like this. You can probably get it on Amazon.

Cory's website is where you should go if you want to self-test for iodine deficiency. It's a classic test. Iodine used to be common, but has been replaced by toxic halogens fluorine, chlorine, and bromine, which are cheaper. It's also true that *unless you have a thyroid problem*, your body will flush excess iodine. Take it orally in a half glass of water. It's *not* that bad and you can be sure it all got inside you.

I don't know the answer to that. My doctor prescribed it for me as it affects the proper working of the thyroid.

Iodine is good for so many things, wouldn't surprise me if it's good for arthritis as well. though I haven't taken it for that particular reason, I will say it's helped my older dog tremendously moving around easier on his old joints, so I guess it does. Read up on taking iodine, my husband and I take it every day, but we now take Nascent iodine, it's even better for you and matches more like the iodine your body should produce, Amazon also carries it, more expense but worth it.

I am not sure if iodine is good for arthritis. i drink it for health benefits, which i'm wondering what they are. i have heard of all the wonderful things that they say when people take these drops,, but nothing crazy for me. i guess it helps my metabolism.

I've been using it almost everyday about five drops in water or tea or orange juice sometimes three times a day. I had cancerous tissue take out and don't want to take a chance. I believe in natural. Lugols is supposed to be fairly straight forward good simple medicine for a lot of ailments.

I take 4 drops per day. One drop is 5.2 mg of Iodine in 5 percent Lugol's. There are about 500 drops in a 1 ounce bottle. That's about 4 months for me.

You would have to check the label, but I do know that my joints feel much better - no aches or pains - when I take this product. Was happy to discover it because I have problems taking other joint remedies as I am allergic to shell fish. Hope it works for you

No, I also have arthritis in my hands. I love this juicer,,,am going to make another 33 jars of lemon curd in Feb (we spend the winters in Arizona) and will have to juice over 100 lemons. This is a great product,,I love it!!!!!

I just saw it about ten down, third from the last. I got this because I was looking for something without aluminum. But I am glad I saw this question because in looking for this, I saw it has Triclosan which can affect the thyroid. Triclosan is in over 90% of the antibiotic hand washing liquid. I bought so much of the Arm & Hammer. Guess I will look for something safer. When will we become a government of the people, by the people and for the people instead of the corporations.

Here is the link to your question .... answered by the manufacturer themselveshttp://www.globalhealingcenter.com/nascent-iodine-detoxadine.html#research

I haven't used Lugol's, but I use nascent iodine from infowars and I don't notice any differences health wise. From my homework these products are the same this one and infowars brand. I may not even have thyroid issues, but I needed to protect myself and family bundaroo from radiation.

I think I sent a response before I had a chance to complete my answer. In any case, although my memory was that it was glucosamine sulfate, I may be wrong. I just checked the formula online, and the shellfish-free version seems to use glucosamine hydrochloride. My rheumatologist actually recommends glucosamine hydrochloride, as it is MUCH, MUCH preferred in Europe, where it has been extensively tested. He says the prejudice against it in the US is due largely to the fact that there are no American studies that feature it. In any case, my cardiologist took me off glucosamine (and I was taking this particular brand) about six months ago. Since then, my joints have aged probably 20 years in terms of general arthritis symptoms. Maybe they would have anyway, but I choose to think that it's because I no longer have the "maintenance" protection from my Solgar glucosamine. As far as my personal experience goes, it obviously was (and is) genuinely very effective.

Short answer is the flexability of dosage. Iodoral and Lugols are the same thing. One is in pill form the other is in liquid. Curezone is a board that has a lot of info about Iodine and that is where I found most of my info.

I used the product for couple of months for the iodine benefits. The taste wasnt very good, it was like ground, but i didnt mind it cause i cared about the iodine. However all changed when i recently received my results for the toxic metals exposure based on urine measurements with chelation agents (probably the best available test on planet earth). To my disbelief i had arsenic!? I am pretty health oriented and it first sounded impossible but when i looked at the list with potential arsenic exposures as provided in the test results, i saw the organic kelp was standing there....

As it's derived from kelp, it either has iodine, which is good, or bromine, which isn't. If you asre looking for a supplement rich in iodine, may I suggest iodine in liquid form.

Not everyone gets the same results. My reaction to Tumeric (Curcumin) was just fabulous. It didn't "cure" my arthritis, but to give you and example: On initial standing it used to take ten-twenty seconds to set a little looseness in my knee joints to move and start walking. With Tumeric it took only five seconds to get rolling. That's the result I saw. A friend did not get any benefit at all though. I get my turmeric (I also grew it) in two 500 mg pills from Vitamin World. Its cheap if you get it with the tw0-for sales. You can just powder it to and take a teaspoon with honey to make it go down easy, wash down with tea. Fabulous plant, absolutely fabulous for my osteoarthritis of hands knees (mainly) and hips

A co-worker gave me a bottle of certified organic Black Seed Oil (different brand) for arthritis and joint pain. I began taking 1 teaspoonful daily then, increased to 2 teaspoonfuls the second week. I ate something that caused an acute allergic reaction and I developed a rash. Unlike previous allergic reactions when the rash would take a week or more to heal, this time the rash was gone in less than 24 hours as if it had never existed. Wow!

I have no idea, as I threw the bottle away!! Did you read my review of the product? It actually put me in the hospital. You need to make sure you don't have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis before taking this supplement. (MANY people have that autoimmune disease without knowing that they do) Most people who are having symptoms of low thyroid actually have Hashimoto's. I certainly wish I had known!!

According to this website it says: http://www.jcrowsmarketplace.com/1ozlugolssolution5valuepriceincludesshipping.aspx The iodine used in J.CROW'S Lugol's Solution is derived from mined crystals, not from shellfish or kelp. Always fresh. Does not expire. Store at room temperature out of direct sunlight. No need to refrigerate.

I don't know whether the sea salt contains iodine. It contains many good minerals from the sea which our body needs. I am hypothyroid, and I take Lugol's iodine, from J. Crow.
