For the members in our Iodine group, we have found that bloating, pimples, headaches are typical detox symptoms caused by too much Iodine too soon. More toxins are released into the bloodstream than our liver & kidneys can process.

The required supplements to help detox include:
======================
- - - NOTE ON DOSAGES: The range of doses are intended for the amount of Detox problems people have. Smaller dosage is for those with minimal detox symptoms. Large dosage is for people with severe detox symptoms or who cannot absorb iodine. Always work with your doctor when taking supplements.
- - ½ tsp Natural Celtic Salt, Himalayan Pink Salt, Redmonds Salt or Hawaiin black salt
- - - If the Sea Salt is pure white, it is unacceptable (minerals have been stripped out )
- - 200 to 400mcg selenium (L-selenomethionine preferred)
- - 400 mg Magnesium - Glycinate preferred
- - 2,000 to 5000mg Vitamin C - Ester-C preferred - do not take with iodine
- - ATP Cofactors caplet contains both 100mg B2 & 500mg B3 non-flushing in the correct ratio. Take 1/2 caplet with Iodine up to 25mg, then one caplet for each 50 mg iodine,
- - - Cost Per Day for required supplements = 75 cents/day, 12.5mg iodoral = 25 cents/day at Amazon.Com

To avoid too much too soon we have been successful with this schedule:
========================
- - - Mix 1 drop 2% Lugols into many bottles of water, put the caps back on.
- - - Week 1 drink 1 oz (~30ml) daily (about 380mcg iodone)
- - - Week 2 drink 2 oz (~60ml) daily (about 775mcg iodine)
- - - Week 3 drink 4 oz (~120ml) daily ( about 1.5mg iodine)
- - - Week 4 drink 6 oz (~180ml) daily ( about 2.3mg iodine)
- - - Week 5 drink 8 oz (~220ml) daily ( about 3.1 mg iodine or about 1 drop per day),
- - - Week 6 drink 2 drops per day in a glass of water
- - - Week 7 drink 3 drops per day in a glass of water
- - - Week 8 drink 4 drops per day (about 12.5mg = to 1 iodoral)
* Next, Titrate up with iodoral 12.5mg iodine tablets available at Amazon.Com
- - - add 1/2 tablet each month to eventually reach 25mg daily-refer to Dr. Brownstein’s Book
- - - 25-50mg Daily is the dosage target recommended by Dr. Brownstein to overcome toxins
- - - 6 to 50mg Daily is his latest recommendation for maintence (07/27/12)

Grizz

Hello cfh,

I feel for you. Bloating is uncomfortable.

I am doing quite a bit of Iodine and I have noticed bloating sometimes when I up the dose. Taking a natural diuretic helps stop it. I usually make a tea with dandelion root or burdock root (as well as other herbs for liver) and just sip it through out the day.

They are kind of bitter so if you don't like the taste they do come in capsule form.

Hope you find relief quickly!
