Hello!
Been reading around the forum for a while and several weeks ago I started SSKI supplementation. I didn't experience any noticable detox reactions so I slowly increased my dose over the period of 1 week in which I was taking between 60 and 90mg a day. I thought a skin breakout might be caused by the Iodine directly or somehow in part (hormones? was two weeks late on period which was around the time I was taking iodine.) So I stopped SSKI and now around a week later my skin is practically clear but I'm not sure. My eczema also flared at the time. The skin around my mouth and around my ear area was really dry rough itchy and sensitive.
I was taking vitamin c, biotin, milk thistle, zinc (infrequently) and a probiotic. Selenium and the b vitamins were in the mail.
I wanted to know if they were a specific kind of blemish that are tied to the iodine. I read that the detox of Iodine that's Acne is non coniform and read something that seem to imply they didn't produce a white head and mine were red, some really tiny, some bigger and a lot did have white heads but they'd still be red.
I wasn't sure if it was the SSKI since I felt otherwise fine and also because I started to breakout a day or two before (I believe so, it's getting a little fuzzy in memory) and I could of swore it was due to a new cream. Although, I've never broke out in pimples in response to a cream; my skins combination w/ an oily T-zone, I get small occasional blemishes but this was a full on breakout; most which was on my cheeks which my good skin?!
This is the sski I bought:

I'd also appreciate people's opinions on the form of Iodine I got.
Thanks in advance!

This is a reply to # 2,061,879Welcome to the forum! Different types of skin reactions are definitely reported as part of the detox. I had some too.
Have a look at the bromide detox symptoms; we recommend some saltloading for this;

This is a reply to # 2,061,913Hi,
Thanks for the welcome,
So, on the page you linked where it says:
"different" acne, "bromide acne," "acne-like eruptions" without "coniform."
so if a lot of my Acne did have whiteheads (is that being coniform?), is that still possibly the type of Acne from a detox reaction?
The description just at first seemed like it was describing that it's a specific type of Acne that detox creates?.
Is it common to feel the same but only have one detox reaction?
Do you have an opinion on my choice of iodine?

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,061,958I would think it is hormonal; the Acne of different kind; part of detox, yes. I had all forms I can think of. But the bromide Acne is spesific.
Our detox reactions will differ some; depending on how toxic one are, our health history etc. In my case it was a series of infections, fevers and digestion upsets. And most bromide symptoms, like stinking armpits.
I am not familiar with your iodine, sorry. Trapper has a great SSKI , if you live in the US you can purchase his iodine.
-In general if it contains water, idoine and potassium (KI) it is good to go.- Re: Iodine first time user, what's t... deala0688

This is a reply to # 2,061,964Okay, so I'll start the SSKI again but this time I'll start slow so that I don't get the blemishes if I can help it. If I start to I can just stay at a slow pace with it. I'd really rather push through with higher doses but this type of detox reaction is hard for me to deal with if it's going to be for days on end, it gets really uncomfortable and inconvenient.
Hopefully, taking all the companions properly will help.

This is a reply to # 2,061,879Should I add Iodine to my SSKI (potassium iodide)?
I'm still trying to understand all the forms of iodine/iodide. I get SSKI and Lugol's for the most part, but then there's iosol, magnascent, atomidine, electrodine.
What should I consider if I want to take something in addition to SSKI ?
One reason why I really wanted to take Iodine is because of low body temperature. I get very cold easily all the time and my h ands and feet in particular get like ice. I hear all the time your hands are so cold. Even if it's not cold this happens. I have a personal heater in my room because I need it warmer than everyone else in my house likes. I've always had the tendency to get cold easily since I was young but I feel like I've gotten worse especially in regards to the hands and feet.
But I didn't see an improvement although I was only taking sski for about a week. How long does it take to see that kind of an improvement? Is there a form of Iodine that's best for that?
I also was hoping iodine might help my hormones/adrenals.

There are iodine receptors all over the body and iodine will help clean up all tissues and organs, including the skin.
Thyroid needs 3% prefers iodide (50mg iodide)
Lungs prefer iodide
Skin needs 20% and prefers iodide
Salivary Glands prefer iodide
Muscles (650mg) and fat needs(700mg iodine) 70%
Breast tissue needs 3-5 mg / day minumum and prefers iodine
Prostate prefers iodine
Stomach prefers iodine
Entire body needs 1500 mg - 2gm total
Daily Iodine needs just to function properly:
Thyroid needs 6 mg iodide /day
Breast needs 5 mg iodine /day
Other tissues needs 2 mg/day

This is a reply to # 2,062,374Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that's striking that the skin needs 20% of the Iodine in your body. Do you know what function the Iodine has in the skin?
I'm definitely trying to remember that nothing happens overnight and that especially if I had issues that could be from a lack of Iodine since I was little, that things will take a while to improve. Maybe I'll search the forum for other people's experiences with body temp and skin issues specifically.
I'd still like to hear from other's comments or suggestions on what form of iodine I could add to my SSKI ? Searching the forum, I'm stll a bit confused.- Re: Iodine first time user, what's t... paraboy

One of the functions Iodine has in the skin is sweating.
Lugol's iodine seems to be the one that causes the least amount of issues that I have her on the forum.
Just make sure you are taking the companions, especially, selenium and vitamin C.
For some, tyrosine seems helpful because it is part of the conversion of T4 to the active form T3.

This is a reply to # 2,063,035Really, sweating? Hmmm. I remember not sweating that easily when I was younger, like I felt like 'I don't sweat' but I do sweat not if I exercise or get really hot in the summer (some).
But I've always had this thing, and I don't know if this is tied to sweating or iodine, but since I was little I've had several episodes of a sort of heat exhaustion where I'd get so hot and my face would get so hot and really really pink and if it progressed I'd get a head ache that might last even into the next day. If bad enough I'd want to fall asleep. Even when I was a small child I'd get hot and pink in the face. In these incidents though, everyone else around me were all perfectly fine. I mean it would be hot but they'd be perfectly fine.
My dad always said it was like my skin didn't breath.
This is something I think I'll look into, thanks.
And the tyrosine too, I didn't hear of that before.- Re: Iodine first time user, what's t... paraboy

This is a reply to # 2,335,857This data was collected from listening to video interviews of mostly, Dr David Brownstein and some others.
I did not collect links to all these interviews and there wasn't a transcript to copy to a pdf.
