Iodine works for PMS symptoms!!! I am 48. A week or two before my period I have had PMS symptoms such as breast tenderness, anxiety, tight shoulders, moody, etc. I applied topical iodine on my stomach and breasts and wrists. It made me feel so much better in just 15 minutes. It absorbs quickly. I read that if you put it on and it last for 24 hours you are not deficient any longer. Please give this a try if you suffer like I did, its a life changer!

Hoping for relief of endometriosis and ovarian cysts, I've been supplementing with Lugol's Iodine the past 3.5 - 4 weeks and am FLOOOOOORED by the many positive results including increased energy. My last period arrived two days after I first started the iodine drops and it was it's usual self - a doozie, requiring high doses of Aleve around the clock for two days. But this second time around, I started 5 days early with ZERO pain and very minimal flow in comparison to the usual gushers. Last night I did take two Aleve, just in case, but in hindsight, I don't think they were necessary. As well, I've been taking approx 3/4 teaspoon of coconut oil every morning, though I've dabbled in coconut oil before & never experienced these results. Maybe it's a combo of the two potions?! Thrilled!

I started a high dose of oral iodine (12 mg) plus the absorptions supplements (Calcium, Magnesium, Selenium, C) Ted had listed that are needed with iodine for my Hashimotos. It happened to be 4 days before my cycle started. This is the first cycle in my life (41 yrs old) that I did not have a two day migraine and now my cycle started with no cramps. I am dumbstruck. I always spend 2 days with the headache and then two more in bed vomiting/diarrhea/cramps. I have been to Dr.'s to no avail my entire life. I also did not have the typical irritability, irrationality, and depression either. I will post again if they come back next time. But I have a strong feeling they won't. I only took them for 4 days and then was on the three day break before I started taking them again.

I totally cured my PMS, as I used to have severe anxiety, temper flare ups and acne. I paint myself with 2% tincture of iodine every AM & PM. Noticed the change within 2 days! Also, my allergies went away, my teeth weren't sensitive anymore.
Recipe: Paint about a 2" X 2" area on your stomach area, always moving the spot around to different locations (or the skin gets dried out and itchy). Just two days ago I forgot to paint in the morning, by evening I had a acne starting to form on my chin, I quickly painted my tummy, and when I awoke the next day it was gone!
If your paintings don't absorb then you can put off painting, maybe every other day. It means your iodine level is okay, maybe you really don't need any. However, I read that 80% of Americans are iodine defficient. They used to put iodine in all of our flour products (before 1966), then they discovered bromide, it is easier, cheaper, less messy and makes ingredients mix well, so it's in all of our bread, flour products (except "sprouted grain" breads/products & 100% organic) cakes, even Gatorade and Mountain Dew (it was found in Dansani water too)!
Fluoride, chlorine, bromide & iodine are all halogens, their atomic weight determines which one deletes the other, fluoride being the winner (doesn't that make you happy). Iodine is the loser, so all three delete iodine. That's why we are all deficient, we cannot escape fluoride, chlorine and bromide! So, paint paint paint, you only absorb what you need!
