3 days @ 200 mg, 1 day @ 300 mg, 3 days @ 100 mg Lugol's iodine.
1-2 potassium chloride pushes daily
3-6 G of vitamin C per day
500-1500 mg magnesium daily
began Okra-pepsin again 2 caps with each meal - 2 days ago
hour long boogie sessions at least every other day (you may scoff, but put on the headphones and try it for yourself!)
food has been some raw, some cooked and sometimes too much

My body loves iodine. It loves the higher dose days so much. The energy is amazing... not just that I can go-go-go, but that I am clear, light and so focused. Sleep on those days is almost catatonic with few dreams remembered. I do not move! I 'normally' toss and turn a great deal and always remember at least one dream.

By reviewing the week to write this, I realized that my facial breakouts this week are not from iodine. They may be from stress, my hormonal cycle, change in food and the recent regularity of the dancing - but they are not from Iodine detox anymore.
The chloride pushes eliminated those painful pimples and I am really happy to be able to write that.

I like how it feels to vary the amount of iodine. It may not be as solid a base from which to discern detox and reactions, but it feels more alive somehow. More natural.. I certainly get varying nutrition from other sources daily, why not with my supplementation!

I was distressed by some of the posts here this week about painful, uncomfortable symptoms. I spent some time researching and reassuring myself that no matter what may happen at my intake amounts it is most likely not the Iodine causing it and to keep searching. I remind myself of that and of the doctors who dosed their patients with 6 grams of Iodine daily for long periods with only beneficial effects. So, I shall continue at the levels I have been taking this week 100-300 mg.

Being a pioneer is not easy, comfortable or fun all the time. There is only my own safety net to rely upon. And it can be easy to become distracted and seduced into fear and doubt by another's voice.

There are no 'guarans', as my youngest sister likes to say. She is very cool! We make our choices and live with them. I have done many cleanses, flushes, diets and disciplines and nothing has made me feel as sane, stable, happy, self-reliant and strong as taking iodine has.
