It's a Seychelle Large Family Pitcher. :)
Cheapest one I found was on eBay.
But I also just bought a counter top 50 GPD RO
unit. Easy peasy to set up and use, no fooling
about with plumbing under the sink, in fact my
daughter hooked it up in less than 10 minutes, and
it's doing a bang up job:)

If you don't take enough selenium with the Iodine
it WILL cause you grief and CAN damage the
thyroid. I've upped my dose to 50 mg per day of 2%
Lugol's, I started with 5 mg and worked my way up
slowly, and I take 400 - 600 mg of the
selenomethionine form of Selenium daily. When I
don't take the Iodine I feel like crap. My thyroid
felt swollen on one side and I had a small nodule
on my thyroid which is slowly shrinking. The doc
did not do a thyroid antibody test but he did say
I had elevated antibodies according to my lab
results. When I first started taking the Iodine my
thyroid swelled some, but it is now a normal size.
I feel physically much better. Detox/herx symptoms
can be a bear but if you take extra magnesium, vit
C, selenium, zinc and copper, and manganese, and
use sea salt and plenty of water this can be
reduced greatly. That and backing off on the dose
until you feel a bit better. If you have a lot of
toxins to detox the detox pathways can be overcome
and this causes the detox/herx symptoms, or a
viral load die off, or candida/fungus die off. The
minerals the shepherd the halides, mercury and
other stuff out are the ones I've listed above.
You don't have a chance to get too much of them
because the get used up binding to toxins and
carrying them out, usually through the urine. And
the body needs some of them for regular
maintenance and enzyme production. I also added
milk thistle, and dandelion to my regime to
support the liver, and R ALA to boost glutathione.
It also helped that I found a pitcher that filters
everything including 80 - 90 % of fluoride from my
tap water. And cutting out MSG, aspartame, and
breads made from brominated flours, as well as all
soft drinks, and upping my pure water intake to
nearly 90 0z per day. I also added vit D3, and sea
salt to my regime quite a while back and cut out
almost all the processed salt.
Those with autoimmune hypothyroid issues MUST take
the selenium, it's NOT an option, or it WILL cause
problems, especially with antibodies. I get so
tired of people not doing it the recommended way
and then saying it's harmful. Or expecting it to
work over night. Stephanie's(The Iodine list Mom)
husband took at least a year to bring his Hashi's
antibodies down to nothing. So it's a long term
thing, and sometimes in the interim the thyroid
usually WILL swell to grab more Iodine, when it
has enough it will start to reduce in size. My
thyroid kind of went up and down in size for two
months or so before it settled down. But man oh
man the detoxing I was doing during that time.
I won't say that my thyroid swelling up even more,
like that didn't scare me to death, it did, but I
was also told that it would go back down again,
and it did.
But I guess everyone gets to health in their own
way, there are many choices out there and a lot of
research. I researched Iodine, the recommendations
of nutrients to take with it and why, and the even
the reports against it, thoroughly for several
months before I made the decision to buy the
Iodine and give it go. I haven't been sorry yet.
Well except for an initial bad detox/herx
reaction, LOL. I haven't lowered my thyroid med
dose yet, I still have to get blood work done to
see what my TSH, T4, T3 levels are doing.

Having been hypothryoid and having done this, I would *highly* that
folks with that condition look into the high iodine dosing. I am no
longer hypothyroid and it cleared up a lot of other issues for me.
Another case of varying mileage.

Hypothyroidism can be fairly quickly reversed simple by
ingesting sufficient iodine. The Yahoo Group named iodine
can get you up to speed on iodine in very short order. pj
