YES, to dilution!

Absolutely you need to dilute more. The stomach sometimes takes a while to get used to the iodine. I had the same problem at first. What I do now is dilute it in a small amount, and chase it with a larger amount. I take the dose in 3-4 separate swallows rather than down it at one time. Also you need to take breaks to let your body catch up on the detox, and be sure your are eliminating three times per day.

Back your Iodine back to five drops or less twice a day, in much more water. You might want to keep it there until you get your first detox, it should come shortly.

I also saw very little progress or detox the first month. After three weeks, I noticed a lessening of my fibromyalgia pain. After a month, or so I got a really big detox with fever, chills, and a chest cold. Lasted more than ten days. I stopped the Iodine and didn't take any medicine, but just watched my elimination.

After three months, and now on huge doses, I got off all my medication, diabetic, high blood pressure and depression, and have been off ever since. You can click on my name and find my posts; check for what says Testimonial.
