Theory on iodine flu that some report

I went from 6 drops to 24 drops overnite and stayed on the 24 drops pulsing them. After 2 months I got this pounding headache one night, bones were sore the next day, then I got what seems to be a headcold with an occasionally headache. I've had this for 10 days and its mild but not going away quite yet.

I remember reading that when the heavy metals are chelated, then the viruses that were lying dormant start becoming active and it can overwhelm the body for a while till the immune system gets them under control.

My theory on this is that the higher doses of Iodine got rid of alot of the heavy metals since the body probably deals with what is most toxic first. Then my system got overwhelmed with the viruses that were laying dormant. I'm now taking 5 drops of Iodine 2 times a day because I went to my alternative healthcare person who does muscle testing and she said thats all I need right now.

I've heard quite a few other reports here that they got the flu after taking high doses of iodine. Do you think this can be the reason?
