I am not sure what "lugols" is. . . but we recommend rinsing once or twice a week with a dilute solution of 20 to 1 H2O to Clorox™ (use only the brand name Clorox™ with the blue cap, no other, as we know that is made to pure standards). This must be made everyday you use it as it does not keep, degrading in minutes to salt water. The best way to make it is to pour one cap full of Clorox™ into a glass, and then 20 caps of water.
Rinse and gargle with the resulting mixture for about twenty seconds or more. It won't taste very good, sort of like strong swimming pool water, but it won't hurt you, and you will get used to it.
If you swallow any, don't worry, it changes instantly to salt water before it gets to your stomach.
Throw out any that is left. . .
OH, MY GOD! Clorox has just CHANGED all the formulas for CLOROX!!!!! They have tossed out the good old stand-by that has been a century old and replaced it with JUNK New formula with adulterations!!! They are also using the SAME COLOR CAP ON EVERY VARIETY!!!!!! They've thrown the baby out with the bathwater. I would NOT, REPEAT NOT!!! use any CLOROX product for hygienic use on the human body until further notice!!!!!
Lugols is a solution of iodine. Minus the ‘sticky’ stuff that’s in povidone.
I rinse with 5 or 6 drops in a couple tablespoons of water when I’m done brushing my teeth. Makes them slick and clean.
I also take an Iodoral every morning (iodine pill) that I can ‘taste’ after an hour or two.
