Re: Hveragerthi..Orthoiodosupplementation

I'm not sure, but I do know that applying Iodine to any bumps or pimples topically, heals them very quickly. I'm not sure that it would work from the inside out though.

I do know people who have a lot of these bumps come up when first starting iodine, and they put it down to bromide being pushed out of the system. People have also noticed that they have strong body odour for a little while after starting Iodine supps. Both of these conditions tend to dissappear within a few days to a few weeks. If it was Iodine causing these conditions, I would think that with further supplementation or an increase in dose, these conditions would get worse, not better (as most do), as more iodine would be excreted.

I have never really been exposed to the usual sources of bromide/bromine, I don't eat commercial bread products or pastries, as I am gluten intolerant, and I do not drink soft drinks. I don't use spa's that are brominated, so I am not convinced that these little bumps are from bromide/bromine being excreted. Or perhaps if they are caused from bromide/bromine displacement, the reason I didn't have very many is because I didn't have much bromide/bromine to begin with. There really hasn't been enough study done on the causes of these bumps to know for sure what is causing them, so I prefer to keep an open mind.
