I would have to disagree that you have overdosed as the other poster seems to think. She has no personal experience with therapeutic doses of Iodine and seems to be unaware of its benefits. I answered your post on the other foru, and I forgot to mention that you should take care to dilute your doses, as this sometimes causes some throat pain.
Having said that, I found my benefits began only after I had gotten to a dose of 8 drops twice a day. I am now taking 16 drops twice a day and have had periods of much more, with detox being very manageable. I know I have a long way to go. I think cautions in taking breaks, making sure that elimination is 2-3 x per day, and doing the salt protocol are important. As long as you are aware of side effects and what to do, I think you will do fine. It's an exciting journey, with miracles seeming to happen all the time!
