hey,
maybe anyone can help me with this. when I started Iodine, esp between 2-6mg (potassiumiodine only) I felt great... I did have sideeffects like bromide Acne but I had a great feeling in my mind, like the feeling you have, when you're on holidays, far away from your everyday problems - but I had that without holidays. ;)
now I have switched to lugol(5%), built my way up to 8 drops which should be about 50mg(for about 2 weeks now), the bromide Acne stopped (which I would say is a sign for less bromide pollution in my body, so my mind should get better too). But mentally I feel bad. I did and still do the salt loading, I'm taking selenium, vit C and magnesium too... (actually, too much magnesium makes me agressive, although I am aware that it should help calming down, anyone knows why??)
while I wanted to do the Iodine loading for 3 months since I do know that high amounts are needed to get the Iodine in every cell, I feel like this is no good for my body anymore(before, even with the bromide Acne I felt like I was doing something good to my body). recently I read that Iodine over 20mg might cause hypothyroism in some individuals (on the optimox website)...
so, any ideas? anyone had similar problems, if so, what did you do?
any help would be great. thanks!- Re: too much iodine? beetlejuice

This is a reply to # 1,474,2388 drops of 5%, at 2.5mg per drop is 20mg. i think you want to reach 50mg for a period of time to see more clearly.- Re: too much iodine? Dameon

This is a reply to # 1,474,437it is, if you add Iodine and potassiumiodine (which abraham did for his calculations)

hmm, I am using the european metric drop which is 0,05ml(meaning 2,5mg Iodine and 5mg potassiumiodine = 7,5mg Iodine total per drop, so 7 drops are 52,5mg iodine). I think you did just calculate the Iodine but you forgot to add the potassiumiodine to your calculation?

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,474,264with the KI in it there is 6.25mg of total Iodine per drop of 5% lugols.
i have a general rule of thumb - if you feel bad at 50mg, double the dose.- Re: too much iodine? herbun

This is a reply to # 1,474,490the testimonies are scattered about on this forum.
all you need to know is that its safe and worth a try. its even in the Iodine docs info. perhaps you need to do some more reading at optimox.
the problem is not iodine, its the stuff Iodine dislodges and puts back in circulation. i have seen this time and again - 50mg enough to retox while 100mg is enough to detox.
people who have done it had the lights come on and came back and posted "right on!"
what do you have to lose?

Do you think the salt loading is really that necessary if you don't want to go for it? Maybe it will just take the high dose of Iodine longer to really get you to where you want to be? I've just started Iodine supping my self with out any thing along side it. I can go grab supplements any time I want though.- Re: too much iodine? herbun

This is a reply to # 1,474,462as i understand it salt loading does not interfere with the positive effects of iodine. but I have read somewhere that chlorine does compete with Iodine for resorption in the intestinal tract. but that can easily be avoided by a time shifted intake...
I do definitely feel positive effects from the salt loading...
I would advise you to take selenium though, since administrating Iodine without selenium can make a thyroid thats in bad shape to become worse and even proceed do another, worse kind of sickness... and the body needs Iodine and selenium to produce t3/t4!

This is a reply to # 1,474,238just had an idea why I feel so bad. its esp in the mornings.
now, when splitting Iodine in 2 intakes, 4 drops each, a day, I think it might be not a wise idea to take the second Iodine supply in the evening( I did...). even with salt loading in front of iodine, it still needs to get out of the body and once sleeping, the toxins have no way out... until the next morning. I bet the kidneys stop working in the night when the bladder is full until you take your first pee in the morning so there might be a big bromine accumulation over night.
to prove that theory, I´ve taken the first 4 drops in the morning, the second 4 drops at 4pm, of course with salt loading before each, with an additional 2 salt loadings in the evening and night....
too bad that there are no studies with the bromide excretion on a hourly graph after Iodine supply... ;)Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,474,529When I first started Iodine supps, I started out slow and cautious. I was having bad 'retox' symptoms (I like that word trapper, good description), on 50mg. I doubled my dose to 100mg (as well as increasing companion supps), for the next 3-4 months. The retox symptoms became detox symptoms within a couple of days, and lasted for about 2 weeks. After that, the detox settled down, and the Iodine really got to work on the issues that I originally started taking it for. FBD, hypothyroid, uterine fibroids, and other less obvious symptoms. It has now been 8 months since starting, and all my health issues have now been resolved, so I am on a maintenance dose of about 25mg daily.
I had 2 pretty dreadfull weeks of detox, but that, for me , was preferable to months of niggling symptoms.
My partner, who was sceptical at the time I started Iodine supps, now, after seeing the difference that it has made to my health, he is taking daily iodine supps as well. One big bonus I've noticed with him is that he no longer snores at night, (happy , happy , joy , joy).

This is a reply to # 1,474,626That sounds like what I need to do... though I give you credit for making it through 2 weeks of bad detox, I don't know if I could last that long, given the fact that I already lose so many days to chronic headaches - that's been a lifelong thing. I am not even at 50mg right now because I consistently forget to take the second dose about 80% of the time. I usually feel worse at 50mg than 25, so I wonder what would happen at 75 or 100mg....Guess I won't know till I try.

”The formula you guys have developed is so gentle, unique, and effective.”
Spuds, this is what happened to me too. After *not* following the entire protocol, partly to doing small doses of Lugols over a period of time, and also not understanding the absolute need to supp with selenium, Vit C, EVCO, and salt pushing, plus IP6... because I did not follow the protocol, I was dipping in and out of responses.
When I finally studied in earnest, and did the recommendations of those that came before, I too went through about a 2 to 3 week wild ride. When I emerged on the other side, well, I would not trade it for anything. It worked for me, and my sweetie, and now several other people that I have handed the procotol to and said 'read, and do... then you'll have a chance to figure it out'. All but one have, and it has worked for them too.
Go for the ride I say.- Re: what might be causing it... spudlydoo

This is a reply to # 1,474,997Hey cisco, this has been the case with many of my friends as well. For me, it was a case of 'do I want to stir up stuff and feel like crud for months on end', or ' do I just bite the bullet and have 1-2 weeks of serious crud, which then gets better'. I chose the latter.
On a side note, in a week or so, it will be the end of winter here. This will be the first winter in which I have not suffered any illness, in fact I have had no illness since starting on Iodine and companions. This is a record for me, and no trivial thing. :)

”The formula you guys have developed is so gentle, unique, and effective.”
What worked for me:
I would take a large dose if Iodine (Lugol's) and spend the rest of the day "recovering" with the salt, C, and selenium. More than one serving of the C and salt, of course, and magnesium at night.
It seemed harder to me even if I put a little Lugol's in my drinking water and drank little by little.
I could just imagine an inner explosion of toxins being released from the body from the big whammy morning dose, and then attempted to mop it up with the companions, and all the while, this foum was my moral support!
Maybe try just one dose and see if it is easier for your body to handle?
Sometimes 3 days in a row would really pile up the bad effects, and going off for one day or two would really help things. Then start back on the attack of those toxins once you feel normal.
Good luck!

This is a reply to # 1,475,079Just thought I'd chime in here to share.Been supping for over
two years now and recently brought my dosage down to just 4-6
drops.That's because I started getting these white spots on my
hands and legs mainly around the joint areas and they itched
like heck!Trapper and others adviced that it could be fungus caused by
the Iodine displacing the good bacteria on the skin and I got
rid of the problem by applying hydrogen peroxide.I also took
the dosage down.I had stopped the Iodine for a couple of weeks
but felt completely out of sorts without it,lack of energy
especially.On that note,does one get hooked on iodine?
I do need my fix!- Re: this worked for me: trapper/kcmo

”The formula you guys have developed is so gentle, unique, and effective.”
you bring good info.
there is a point of sufficiency and diminishing returns on high doses. still, the question is what is a high dose. i say that anything up to a gram a day is sustainable, but that can vary by individual to be anything in between 1mg and 1001mg.
i figured out one time that 100mg would be needed to keep the bad stuff at bay for an adult with major city exposure. the average intake in japan of 38mg in their diet is also a consideration for long term supplementation after sufficiency is achieved. so somewhre in there should be enough.
i still get the itches too when i up dose. since i dont know exactly what that is i keep it below that level for myself as well.
