Hey Archus, how do you take your iodine? I'm up to 10 drops but can't take it in one sitting. I place 5 drops in a very large glass of water and take it twice a day. If I take more drops at one time my throat starts bothering me. I guess I have to start taking my Iodine + water 3x a day to reach 15 drops. I wish you the best. refreshed
