Lugol’s Iodine Solution


Lugol’s Iodine Solution

It is too dangerous to buy a commercially prepared solution.
It is certain to be polluted with propyl alcohol or wood alcohol.
Make it yourself or ask your pharmacist to make it up for you.
The recipe to make 1 liter (quart) is:
44 gm (1½ ounces) iodine, granular
88 gm (3 ounces) potassium iodide, granular
Dissolve the potassium iodide in about a pint of the water.
Then add the iodine crystals and fill to the liter mark with water.
It takes about 1 day to dissolve completely. Shake it from time to
time. Keep out of sight and reach of children. Do not use if
allergic to iodine. Be careful to avoid bottled water for preparation.

Vitamin D Drops
1 gram cholecalciferol (see Sources)
10 cups olive oil
Mix in a non-metal container. It may take a day of standing to
dissolve fully. Refrigerate. Ten drops contain 40,000 iu. Use
within a year.
