I have been supplementing with Iodoral for about 4 weeks after getting a very deficient result on Dr. Flechas' Iodine loading test (the spot test was normal). I was doing fine for the first two weeks on two pills a day. Then I started becoming very emotional and fixating on old upsetting emotional matters from the past. My fixation was illogical, sometimes approaching rage, and I could not control it. I wondered if I was getting too much Iodine or if it was a detox reaction. It also seems to me that my skin may be more yellow than it was. Did not know what to do so I stopped Iodoral for a couple of days. Now my head is clearer and I started back on the pills today. I did the salt loading today because I thought maybe I needed it and also took the companion nutrients. That made me feel much better [I had been very tired prior to taking those measures.] But is it really safe for me to do salt loading? as I have high blood pressure? Actually I have often noted that I do feel better when my blood pressure is up than when it is where it "should" be. What to do? Will the Iodoral eventually help me get my blood pressure down?
