Cadcoor,

The Iodine doctors recommend Lugols or Iodoral Iodine to be taken with co-supplements. The co-supplements are required to get Iodine into our cells and the toxins out of our cells. Selenium is critical for the thyroid when taking iodine.

Also, iodine is required for thyroid health, and for health of female organs. Please see the Iodine Website for more:

A swollen tongue can be a symptom of hypothyroid:
"Also, the hypothyroid person may demonstrate a thick, swollen tongue."

Do you have cold hands, cold feet, and a lower then normal body temp, then you have confirmed hypothyroid. Doctors can't see hypothyroid if it bit them in the nose. They are too confused by their lab tests to see the forest for the trees.

I stopped Iodine a month an half ago and still have detox, kidney pain right now again, and so many others like rapid heart rate sometimes, lightheaded or faintness, etc....Though I'm used to the faintness because I had hypothyroid for many years and this is a symptom of that, so I believe once my thyroid balances out the increased Iodine in it this will go away along with the other symptoms.

Anyway I just take supplements for each symptom, so for swollen tongue I would guess its toxins being removed and would suggest mouth washing with baking soda and water. The sodium bicarbonate will make the mouth more alkaline, and maybe your mouth is very acidic which is why detox is so bad in your mouth.

I think I didn't have this detox symptom because I gargle with sodium bicarbonate everyday.

As for the length of detox I personally read it could take at most a few months to go away, so I'm waiting until then to start on a very low Iodine dose of one drop of Lugol's 2 percent with selenium.

I'm sorry that you have to sing, so I'm not sure if there is a way to speed it up other than taking very high doses like over 100mg Iodine which I'm too scared to do at this time. Good luck.
