I was on 50mg of iodoral/lugols for months. It did not cure my hypothyroidism. I became boron deficient, Iodine drives this out the body. I just don't like all the, if you take this i.e iodine, you have to take this and that. It is such a balancing act which you don't always get right. I'd rather take it in a more natural way, seaweed, kelp etc.
