Time for your patience hat, because I know I've asked you before, and I still don't get it... Iodine and potassium iodide.

When I started taking the Potassium Iodide tablets a few months ago, my liver didn't feel so good from them- and what I then discovered was an Ascaris had been killed in my liver. I'm positive it was from the SSKI , from switching from the weaker liquid form I had been taking...

My questions--

Potassium Iodide kills pathogens?

Does the thyroid need both the potassium Iodide and Iodine? If I'm just taking iodide is that ok, or not? I haven't been taking Lugol's for a while.

Potassium Iodide is, or is not, a source of potassium for the adrenals?

Cutler doesn't have info in his book about iodine/iodide. But..(please tell me again), Potassium Iodide will help move Lead out? So, if I'm taking the higher/frequent doses of Triphala, Potassium Iodide ( SSKI ) will help transport it out?

and..
is it then better to take it also more frequently through-out the day?

and..
what dosages?
I hope the tablets are ok to be taking, they are 33 mg.
