Hello, Im very new to iodine and just purchased some a week ago before I knew about this forum. I got a couple of bottles of Lugols 5% Iodine and 10% potassium iodine. Mostly I guess I chose that one since I live on the west coast and thought it would be good due to the Fukushima stuff going on. Im really confused if this is the stuff I should be using. Ive been reading that you should never use the potassium iodide unless you are in a radiation area. But I also read on here that you should use it because the iodine and potassium iodide are used by different parts of the body. Im conscidering getting some nascent but its expensive and Im not sure it its actually a better choice or not. Can someone please tell me which I should be taking. Im not really trying to cure anything, just feel better and get my memory back. Thanks in advance for any help. I did search this forum but didnt see any exact ansers about this.
