Yes, Iodine will help. Terry Naturally has a product called Iodine co-factors that has riboflavin, niacin, magnesium and selenium in a convenient capsule. She should take 3 of those. Salt loading is a must, especially if she's been using bromide containing inhalers. She can put the salt in capsules. She can easily get the empty capsules and capsule filler on line. I like Cap-M-Quik fillers because you can do 50 capsules at a time.

lung medicine deluxe. you have to take enough, though, or you might aggravate things. a 12.5mg iodoral every hour is more like it. chase with orange juice. i am serious. probably not enough. here is the dosing for SSKI from the pharmedicos:

notice that expectorant dosage? thats 300-600mg THREE TIMES A DAY.

I would also caution you about doing it without the proper protocol from personal experience(torment).

My story is the same, used rescue inhalers my whole life, along with nebulizers, steroids, you name it. So, all rescue inhalers are propelled with fluoride(fluorocarbons). They may have bromide too depending on which meds...

Long story short, I took a small dosage like this one, and felt on the brink of death for about 30 hours.

I did no supplements, no salt loading. Don't do it!
I'm now doing it with plenty of salt/borax (to neutralize all my fluoride overload) and feel MUCH better.

My two cents.
