Dosing-Pull Back or Push Through
Rather unpleasant detox symptoms can arise when first starting Iodine supplementation. There is no hard and fast answer as to how much to begin with, how fast to increase, or whether or not to pull back and skip days or push through and continue to dose despite symptoms. Although advice can be given, often conflicting advice; the real decision must be left to the individual.
Reasons To Pull Back and reduce or skip doses:
1) Detox is too intense and renders the individual unable to function in their day to day life.
2) For those just beginning-individual may be unsure if the symptoms or from detox or an allergy/sensitivity to iodine.
3) If individual is using other supplements or protocols, Iodine may need to be discontinued temporarily to determine the source of the symptoms.
4) If the individual started with a relatively large dose, then it may be necessary to cut back the dosage and increase dosage at a slower rate.
5) Individual is reaching their saturation point and needs to cut back to a smaller maintenance dose.
Reasons To Push Through and Keep Or Increase Dose:
1) User may not feel well, but is still able to function at normal daily tasks.
2) Individual knows that the symptoms are from detox and is willing to use protocols to ease detox symptoms.
3) Individual is experienced in detoxing and cleansing and is aware enough of his/her body and its reactions to know when there are potential problems.
Ultimately, it will be up to the individual to decide how much, how often, and how long to continue their Iodine supplementation. The important thing to remember is this is not a competition. There is no shame in cutting back or taking lower doses if that is best for one's current state of health. It is better to begin slowly and conservatively than to start fast and quit when things get rough.

This is a reply to # 939,121Physical and Emotional Detox
Symptoms of physical detox: Most common in the early days is a frontal lobe headache. Other reported symptoms include: mild to moderate joint pain, sore throat, and mild flu-like symptoms, nausea when taken on empty stomach, increased mucus discharge, brown urine, pimples, changes in bowel habits, tender breasts, changes in menstrual periods. Not everyone experiences these symptoms. Some report no problems, others report that symptoms are short lived.
Symptoms of Emotional Detox: Mild to moderate Depression is common in any cleansing or detoxification modality. Old emotions are often brought to the surface. Rather than being alarmed at this, a period of emotional detoxification can be viewed as a chance to deal with these long hidden emotions. Along with depression, tears seem to flow more easily, sometimes for no known reason. Occasionally there are reports of being more short tempered or impatient these episodes can be compared to PMS.
The symptoms of both physical and emotional detox can be reduced by lowering the dose or skipping a few days of supplementation. There is generally no cause for concern unless feelings of suicide or uncontrollable rage become evident during emotional release. Stop using Iodine at once if these symptoms appear and see an alternative health professional if necessary. Few allopathic doctors are trained to deal with detox reactions)

This is a reply to # 939,164you're brilliant, I need to find another job for you:) or, just write a brilliant essay for us on the supplementing of the I kicking out the bad boys or something..
I love your writing.

This is a reply to # 939,171Thanks, I love to write. I've been kicked in the teeth so much lately by an "expert" who is trying to discredit me at every turn, that I am almost afraid to post any more. Still, I honestly believe that Iodine supplementation is a vital part of getting healthy. Right now I am doing some work on the so-called Syndrome X or Metabolic Syndrome that is becoming epidemic among middle aged people and the possible relation to Iodine deficiency. I have personal experiential data that says the Iodine does help improve symptoms of Syndrome X like high blood pressure, high glucose levels, plus joint problems.
I am dealing with some personal problems right now, probably stress induced. Last night I had a terrible panic attack, the first one in years. I thought for a little while I might be dying, even though part of me knew what was happening. Rather than have to deal with further put-downs and insults, I will lie low for a while and mind my own business. A young friend who has the same problem and I are trying to help each other and talk out these panic attacks. Neither one of us wants to go on anti-depressants.
I am also reading a book Owen sent on Trigger Point therapy for chronic pain. One thing it mentions is an under active thyroid helping create conditions for chronic pain. I imagine that is one reason why my pain eased when I began larger doses of Lugol's and came back so strongly when I stopped it and did a liver flush-that is something else I want to write about when I get more facts. So- I do want to contribute more to this forum, but I want to present well researched material along with personal testimony.
Once again, thanks for your encouragement. ~G~- Re: Wombat: FAQ Submission per your ... wombat

This is a reply to # 939,179first of all, that "expert"? ~ain't no expert. Pay NO mind to that person. Don't look, don't go there, don't feed into that negativity. That is a hungry cur nipping at your heels... You are above that, m'Dear.
and I know that you know that the I brings forth suppressed emotional issues. frees up the 5th chakra. I, also, have been dealing with a lot of crap. I'll get flashbacks & see SO clearly the way that external influences, particularly, have been SO instrumental in molding my character, and...well, it's frustrating, to say the least, to see that much of my life is a reaction to early formative influences. Gotta figure out how to reclaim the power....am I making any sense? It's not easy, but it's for the future good. Do NOT go on anti-depressants. Depression can be fruitful, it's important. It's just not *fun*!
I look forward to reading your research on syndrome X & iodine:)

This is a reply to # 939,188Hopi,
You write very clearly. I appreciate that.
As for panic attacks... Have you heard or tried EFT. It is a FAST, finger tapping on the meridians of the body technique I have used to diffuse tight emotions for a few years now. It is free, simple, easy and surprisingly effective with almost everything that bugs ya - well, me.
http://www.emofree.com/LearnEFT.htm
is the place to start... I learned with the free get started package and never needed to upgrade.
And Brad Yates is a great teacher of EFT..

This is a reply to # 939,351I also appreciate your writings. And it is very reassuring to me as one of those who has cut back the dose due to strong detox symptoms. I am feeling that I might be ready to increase the dose again, but I am happy that people like you think that it is OK for me to have cut back in the first place. Sometimes I feel like we are being pressured to keep upping the dose and that cutting back is for "wimps".
I appreciate your input and support as always.
P.S. As for EFT, I have never had any success with it. I don't know why. I was taught it face to face by a reputable teacher, on two separate occasions and it just doesn't seem to do it for me. But I am willing to try again. I might be expecting too much of it.- Re: who has pressured you to up your... wombat

This is a reply to # 939,887Maybe it is not a who, but a what!
How many times do we discuss in detail the damage done by mercury fillings, fluoride in water, drugs and toothpaste; and bromine in everyd*** thing. Not to mention lead!
I feel the urge to get this stuff on out of me as soon as possible. It needs little encouragement for me to be bold - I have been unwell long enough.
- twinkling eyes - And there is this small matter of the paranoia that sometimes gets expressed here. Cannot imagine who that comes from... can you?? big grin
Seriously, there is support here for taking higher amounts of iodine. I certainly felt and feel that. But, direct pressure?? Not any I have seen.
The gift of the 'Boob Job' post is in reminding us all that a small, regular amount of Iodine over time is just as powerful in the ways that really matter.
I know I fall victim to the 'more is better' mirage. It is seductive. And many of the more vocal folks here seem to take larger amounts, me included.
I had the intention myself to lower my amount of Iodine only to get excited by someone's progress and take the higher amounts again.
One or two drops is plenty for so many people and that experience is as valuable as anyone's, as my own who began at 16 drops from day one. I am a writer so it gets recorded and the interpretation might be that there is more value in what I am doing. Or that it is somehow an example.
I certainly felt that when I read that Vulcanel was taking a gram a day for a while. Just like Madeline I wanted my appendix out, too.
We all want to be Iodine stars in some way, to contribute, to be involved.
I am so glad we are talking about this aspect of iodine supplementation. There is no rush, no push to hurry up and detox already. Each and every drop is a huge benefit to us. And healing is an organic process, as we are organic beings.
My perspective has shifted enormously this week. I have begun taking only 6 drops daily and I will continue at that level.
Wombat's post, lots of re-reading of the iodine doctors' reports and results have clarified this for me.
Taking iodine is not a war - it is essentially food/nourishment and we need a small amount daily.

This is a reply to # 939,891OMG, you're insightful:) I guess I assumed the "who" thing because there are those that have accused some of us of pushing high dosing. It's been a somewhat frequent criticism, it's NOT true....however...what's the quote about repeating something often enough & it becomes the truth? I just feel the need to nip those sentiments in the bud ...must protect my beloved I:)
