A year ago I had all the classic symptoms of thyroid deficiency but though I may have late onset diabetes like my mother. My Doctor ordered thyroid blood tests and I was shocked at the results. Fortunately she didn't want to put me on thyroid medication immediately and instead monitor my levels over 6 months. I started myself on low dose iodine drops after being told how bread and wheat, which I cant eat, is a main source of iodine in food. Then I discovered Lugold's. By the end of the 6 months my thyroid levels were back to normal. The difference once I started taking iodine was obvious but Lugold's as a higher dose was simply amazing. I also felt comfortable buying safely from this reputable Australia company.

I have been on the health treadmill for many years, trying very drastic measures to bring my health up to par. I was facing the dreaded spectre of diabetes, my doctor telling me to have a low GI diet and to exercise. Unfortunately I felt exhausted every day and found it almost impossible to do the smallest of things and exercise was the least thing on my agenda. I went to my GP and did the obvious thing of having my thyroid tested but nothing came up on the results. Apparently it does not test for a specific hormone which can be a culprit with thyroid dysfunction. I have also had associative issues with my adrenals which also was not being treated professionally - doctors say if you have problems with your adrenals you are bound to have issues with your thyroid. I thought what have I got to lose and decided to give Lugol's a try. After supplementing with it for about a week I have had my energy restored to optimal levels and feel like my metabolism has been given an enormous kickstart. I am now enjoying the vitality of my youth and will be shedding kilos in the process. I have not felt so energetic in decades. They say if you have ever wondered why you are dieting and exercising and NOT losing weight then your thyroid is bound to be the culprit. Give Lugol's a try, I found it to be one of the most prudent decisions I have made. It is definitely worth investigating for yourself. I have read many books on thyroid deficiency, I had all the signs and symptoms and doctors did not offer me anything. Please see this website for more details about random thyroid testing. Also of specific interest would be interviews with renowned naturopath Dr. Mercola, you can hear more off his website www.mercola.com about iodine, that was the decision which changed my life and I am forever grateful to this Compounding Pharmacy which offers something made locally under the most stringent standards. Look into it - you will be happy you did!

LOVE it, everyone commenting how well I look after just 7 days & finally feel "alive". Iodine in very short supply in the food chain these days, Aussie govt mass supplementing us since Sept 09 - just not enough. Need to eat 5 slices bread a day to get absolute minimum RDI.
