why rush it?
You just started, why stress your body's eliminative function? Go slow, build up, take companion nutrients, make sure you're supporting eliminative channels. The poisoning didn't happen overnight, it's cumulative, you're not going to get rid of it overnight. You have youth on your side, you'll be fine:)
I think dosing like that, early on, is a waste of iodine. I highly doubt that "more" all at once will speed up the displacing of heavier halogens. It's more likely that you simply peed/sweated the excess out.

Guy Abraham, MD....on detoxifying the body of unwanted halides:

"Is there a practical and simple way to lower the body's burden of fluoride and bromide? It has been known for sometime now that bromide competes with chloride in the extracellular space and that the total molar concentration of bromide plus chloride remains constant. (8) This concept has been used to decrease extracellular bromide levels by saline loading. However, the presence of bromide in the thyroid gland (9) and the central nervous system (10) suggests that there is another intracellular "pool" of bromide, not responding to chloride. In the thyroid gland, bromide competes with Iodide for uptake, oxydation and organification.

"Therefore, increasing Iodide intake should lower bromide levels in the thyroid, preventing and reversing its thyrotoxic and goitrogenic effects. The same applies to fluoride. Galletti and Joyet (12) evaluated the effect of 5-10 mg fluoride on thyroid functions in hyperthyroid patients. Although fluoride inhibited the iodide-concentrating mechanism of the thyroid, fluoride did not accumulate in the thyroid. Based on their radioactive tracer studies, they concluded "Fluorine does not impair the capacity of the gland to synthesize thyroid hormones when there is an abundance of Iodide in the blood." Therefore, fluoride toxicity depends on iodide supply."

"Following supplementation with the iodine/iodide preparation, there was a progressive increase in the excretion of fluoride and bromide. With 3 tablets, the 24h excretion of fluoride was 17.5 times baseline level; and for bromide, 18 times baseline level. These high levels persisted even after one month of supplementation at 3 tablets/day, being 15 times baseline level for fluoride, and 16 times for bromide. After one month, the estimated total amount of halide excreted was 24 mg fluoride and 8700mg bromide. It is unlikely that such large amounts of halides came from the thyroid gland. It would seem that the whole body is being detoxified. Orthoiodosupplementation could be used under medical supervision to detoxify the body from unwanted halides in a manner similar to the use of EDTA for the detoxification of heavy metals."

It's actually a really nice trip we're on here, no need to make "good time". :)

"I put 30 drops of Lugols in 10 oz of ozonated water...and immediately felt tired."

You never said you drank it. Now I think it was either the physical exertion of mixing the potion or the mental strain of counting the drops! :)

You're tricky!

sleeping is healing. i used to get this reaction from Colloidal Silver all the time.
