WARNING: IODINE IN LUGOL'S SOLUTION
by Walter Last
After MMS (acidified sodium chlorite) I regard Lugol's solution as the most effective broad-spectrum microbicide, and being specific for Candida and other fungi. I am not aware of a medical drug with equal effectiveness. Therefore health authorities in most or all developed countries are presently trying to make it unavailable for natural therapists and self-healing under the pretext that it might be used to produce illegal drugs.

especially in the EU. In Germany Lugol’s solution has been sold with a
concentration of 0.7% total iodine, again without individuals realizing that

If nothing else is available you may experiment with medical iodine preparations, which may be in alcohol or other solvents.
