So it sounds like 50 mg daily for 90 days is the best case scenario for anything close to Iodine sufficiency. Either that and/or the 1.5 grams value (for total amount of Iodine in one's body) is way too low.

But yeah, certainly every body is different and so it is fair to expect no two people would get the same results from Iodine supplementation and reach iodine sufficiency at the same time.

Violien here`s my thought about what is needet in cell level for detox:

So many things affect to proper detoxification, i really believe many people are missing enough magnesium and sulfur, if those are too low the the detox proces goes in slow mode IMHO, also glutathione is needet ( NAC ), i tend to have some doubts about the magnesium levels people have, as it`s not easy task nor fast to correct a major defiency if believe in oral magnesium suplements..remember also that as someone just show it, fluoride kill`s magnesium. And heating is not good for sulfur compounds ..


Sulfur makes cell membranes more pliable allowing for improved oxygen transport to the cell and improved waste transport from the cell- so sulfur would definitely help anyone to remove toxins from the body. Sulfur helps us regenerate all of our cells so we can heal from the inside, out.

and sadly those very same ,magnesium & sulfur is missing quite a lot in todays food, or what ever crap people put in their mouth...so this all leads to big amount of toxic crap build up inside the cell...


And just generally i think we need lots of all minerals % trace elements in right non toxic form to kick out bad stuff from cell.( i use terramin clay for getting wide range of different minerals & traces)

and the usual cleaners also:

Alpha lipoic acid
NAC
Cilantro
L-CARNOSINE ( like 4000-5000mg x 2 dayly)
Vitamin c
selenium
Chorella
Spirulina
Clay baths
Boron
Gold (Ok not very usual)
Silver (Ok not very usual)
iodine
+the vitamins


But really, magnesium and sulfur is the 2 very critical minerals for proper detoxification IMO, so make sure there`s plenty of those. Iodine is also critical of cource for removing halogens.

Yes there is sadly so too much toxic stuff all around.

Not fun to read that raport..

If 50 mg/day for 90 days is the recommended treatment for Iodine insufficiency then I don't understand why people would carry on taking 100 mg/day indefinitely. I cannot believe one's environment is THAT polluted where 100 mg/day is needed indefinitely, and besides most of that Iodine is not even absorbed. And so I find it hard to believe so much Iodine is justified as maintenance mode for eliminating halogens.

Having said all this, taking so much iodine to tackle specific issues might be warranted. To tackle a certain systemic fungus or bacteria. Some cases of PCOS and FBD might do better with so much iodine, although I am not sure of the exact mechanics as to why (..I think iodine's value goes beyond bromine/fluorine removal).

It seems that one simply doesn't know when one has reached iodine sufficiency and how much to take for maintenance once sufficiency is achieved. I'm not sure if I have much faith in iodine load testing. Perhaps the best solution is to follow the iodine doctors' guidelines and make adjustments based on the presence/absence of symptoms?

Lastly, everyone seems to be looking at iodine from different angles to achieve different things. Some here seem to take an extraordinary amount of iodine/iodide daily for years with hope of eliminating every speck of fluorine/bromine from their system. Others might find this overkill; a nominal amount of these toxins is probably harmless. Others don't give a damn what iodine does so long as it resolves thyroid, breast, prostate, or other issues. And so it is probably impossible to devise a one-size-fits-all guideline like the iodine doctors attempt to do.

thats so special, isnt it?

i fight fire with fire and take my Iodine daily. wife bought a new throw rug. what a stinky thing. couple of bromide zits popped out almost immediately. imagine that.

perchlorate in the veggies from california

Here`s my thought about mega dosing iodine, i never really read the books of Iodine doctors, and newer been even close to mega dosing with iodine/iodide personnally. but something tell me that the dosing must go in line with the environment. what probably was more than enough in 300 years ago, like 20 mg/day is just not enough todays world with high toxic attack from land,sea,air...


As the toxic levels go up there must be a counterforce enough big to cope with all that crap, so i really cant think any other method than adjusting the dosage as high it is needet, this goes to iodine, but also probably to selenium as it is know fact that heavy metals bind selenium in human body, so if someone have really a lot heavy metals in body the official RDI intake of selenium is probably allmost useless as it will be bindet by the bad heavy metals.

So by saying the toxic level of selenium in todays high polluted world is not the same as in 300 years ago, one can have the upper limit 400, and other person with lots of heavy metals 800/day IMO.

Yes, you of all have been an inspirator for gram sizes.
