Re: newbie questions :)

"You're absolutly right, that's why I mentioned the Iodine loading test. Unfortunatly doing the test is not very convinient..."

As mentioned the minimum is the 50 mg. I never did the test because my theory was I had DCIS so I know I am Iodine deficient. Also, I am 100% sure the test would tell me I need it.....we all do. So why bother. I think the test would be useful when you are supplementing large? I'm not sure.

"The other way would be to go by the symptoms or as you say "listen to your body", thing is I don't know what to listen to :) could you elaborate?"

In the beginning I started off slow and got hit like a mack truck with detox symptoms. I never had Acne in my life and I got a bromide zit so large this past May that I still have a scar from it! I had to back off in the beginning some times because the detox was just kicking my ass. I remember when I first started getting so tired that I would fall asleep if I sat down. So not like me. So, in the beginning, I would listen to my body and back off if it was really bothering me. Salt loading and jumping on my trampoline helped a lot with the detox.

"What's your take on the Iodine or Iodide question?"

On a personal level, I was trying to address FBD and I had early stage breast cancer. Lugol's is supposed to be the match for those problems. I am up to 60 mg. per day of Lugol's and I do add Trappers SSKI every so often. The SSKI seems to give me breakouts which means my skin is detoxing what that wants to get out of my system. I mainly do Lugol's but like to throw SSKI in the mix. If you look at my past updates you will see how iodine has totally changed my life. It is the bomb. Listen to what is said here and read, read, read.

Hope that helps!!
