It is different for everyone and depends a lot on what you are trying to 
accomplish and how much detox you need to do.  People are using it to fix 
thyroid problems, to maintain good thyroid health.  It is also being used for 
treatment of Cancers.  It is used in every gland and organ in your body and it 
is proposed by some that most westerns are deficient in it.  


I personally take 3x drops of Lugol's ( 6.25ml iodine per drop in both KI 
[potassium iodide] and elemental iodine) along with
2 x drops of SSKI ( Saturated solution potassium iodide = approx. 50mg iodine 
/drop) 
I also make sure to take the necessary supplements as well.

2-3g Vit C/ day
200mg Selenium
400-600mg Magnesium
1/4-1/2 of Sea Salt

Here are some useful links and also a great email group dedicated to the use of 
iodine :
