I am not taking much if any Iodine now, maybe once in awhile in a nutrition shake which contains a good amount but other than that no iodine.

I had a severe detox reaction where I went to the emergency room a few times. Pretty much everything listed on the bromide detox list that is passed around here, I experienced at all once, when I jumped up to 100 mg Iodine from 12.5 mg. It scared me bad, I overdid it because I was having good benefits from a low dose and thought a higher dose would be a quick fix for some stress I was having.

Since then the detox reactions come and go, right now I'm dealing with the kidney pain which I attribute to my dislike of salt pushes. I lost a good amount of weight, and gave up most of my cravings. I think my detox was so severe because I ate unhealthy, and was raised in a lead paint house which Iodine specializes in chelating from what I read here. I also get severe adrenal fatigue, or lack of energy and weakness, so I bought a blend of herbs for that which includes Siberian Rhodiola root, Holy Basil, Ashwagandha, and some others.

An experienced poster on here recommended silica for my kidneys, so I bought horsetail which helps detox since I am adverse to salt pushes.

You mentioned 'boob pain', and I think that's a detox reaction because the breasts have a lot of fat and that is where the body stores toxins. Maybe if you tried the liver and kidney cleanses recommended on other parts of this website that may help your problem. As for me I still am hesitant to do a liver flush, so right now I am doing cranberry juice, horsetail, and a salt push here and there when I can manage, to finally heal if not cure myself.

Good luck again, have a nice day.

I never did the salt push on an empty stomach and just read your post again.

After doing one today on an empty stomach my kidney pain went away for a bit, its back now but I'm on a full stomach.

I guess I have to wait a bit, but it looks like there is some credence to these salt pushes for clearing out the kidneys.
