Re: Metallic taste

Yes, the brain fog is one of the biggest problem in the beginning of iodine; one of the positive outcomes of Iodine is that you get your brain back;
Not much in the body works when the body temp is as low as 96ish; I have been there too!

When I decided to go for Iodine 100 %, I went straight up to 50-60 mg and the detox started within a couple of weeks.
It was hard, and I almost gave in, BUT what kept me going was the moments of good energy and a clear brain.
A rash is a good thing (detox) as long as the energy and well being in general is better. Well, that is at least what I learned at my homeopathic education; and it has later proved to be pretty accurate IMO. If the only thing that happened was a worsening of emotional issues, depressions and such I would say one was on a wrong track.

My kids have had benefits both intellectually and emotionally from iodine.
Magnesium and vit B is also a must when taking high iodine.
Coconut oil helps on energy and temperature.
Cayenne pepper helped me loads in the beginning.



Salt; I take approx half a teaspoon daily, and I drink 2 liters of water, at least. I also salt my food quite a lot; follow my taste for it. I now crave salt in the mornings and the evenings in particular; so I drink some salted water first thing in the morning / last thing in the evening.
Selenium; I was up to 800 mcg for a few months, now I am down to 2-300 mcg.

If you took only Iodine and not selenium, that could contribute to even more hypo T. Selenium is needed to convert the thyroid hormones to the active form. To much iodine compared to selenium or vice verca may worsen a hypo T condition.

First of all; get all the fluoride out of your life, if possible. The problem with antidepressants is that they often contain fluoride; and it might help you short term, but in the long run it will slow down your thyroid even more= more brain fog, less energy etc.
