Hah! Good Hungarian skills! 😉

I would recommend trying the 200mg boron per day dose, and if there's no benefit, cut back to 30mg.

Lugol's is best taken in the morning, because any antioxidants you take later (c-vitamin, n-acetyl-anything) reduces the elemental iodine to iodide, which the body needs to convert back to elemental. Keep at least 1 hour between iodine and antioxidants. Also, it might keep you awake at night if you take it late.

i wondered about that issue... i remember that David Brownstein was adamant that lugol's was specific and i know from my chemistry that it contains I3+ (iodine plus hydriodic acid as a complex) which has better lipid solubility so it gets into tissue with low polarity (ie fat) which you simply can't get with plain iodide salts

i'm gonna add back lugol's to my regime, i knew it was probably useful but couldn't see how to use it... having it in the morning an hour before food with a lot of salts and/or with a high fat food is probably the way... so full fat yogurt with lots of salt and iodine in it is probably about right

iodine was the first suplement i ever took that really made a difference, but i also took it with a great increase in salt levels and i didn't understand back then, what i do now - that i have damaged kidneys - that increased salt levels improve kidney efficiency! also fat digestion, which is really important - to the point where i rediscovered when adding potassium chloride to my regime that my body was again producing increased heat, and the key seemed to be the potassium, which also reduced the cramping

so, yeah

gonna add the iodine to the breakfast regime with fatty food and lots of salt, to reinforce it

Hmm, with damaged kidneys you should probably be cautious with higher doses of boron. I know close to nothing about that condition 😕
