Re: Side effects of iodine
You are doing great! I applaud what you have done.
There will never be side effects from taking the Iodine.
Iodine is not toxic and you cannot get too much. You will however, experience severe side effects due to the toxins being release from every cell in the body. Those toxins are released with every molecule of
Iodine that enters the body. The goal is to rid your yourself of all of these toxins. There are different methods of doing this. You can take 300 mg of
Iodine each day and feel like you would rather die and push through to that day when you feel better. Watch for sever rashes, migrains, cramps, cloudy urine, brain fog, aches, pains, blurred vision,
Body Odor , bad breath etc.
You can chip away at the toxins. Swing your intake from 50 to 300. Take 50 mg for a week or four and then go to 300 for a few days, then back up, then down again. Dr. Brownstein talks about this in a Webinar. He was talking to a room full of Doctors in Canada. I think most people think you can detox in 3 or 4 weeks and be done with it. Actually, it takes more like three years. Brownstein talks in one of his youtube videos about he is still excreting bromide at high levels even after 24 months on Iodine.
Try this experiment. Upon the first thing in the morning, take 300 mg and drink a big glass of water, on an empty stomach. You will find you absolutely feel like crap. That demostrates that you have a ton of toxins still in your cells.
A good read is Brownsteins book on Salting your way to health. Any kind of ancient untouched
Sea Salt is good. Not the junk that they wash then bake and it turns white. One teaspoon per day lowers blood pressure, and fights water retention. It also grabs the toxins floating in the blood stream and shows those toxins the correct way out of the body.
Bromide, bromine, chloride, chlorine, flouroide, fluorine, mercury, cadium, are just a few that are everywhere and are trying to enter your body. Once you are Iodinated, you have this shield, a layer of protection. Once you are there, you will feel so much better. If you eat a slice of Texas toast at a restaurant, you will feel bad and a rash is present almost immediately because the toxins have no place to land. They have no cell receptor site to lock into. If you go on a vacation and swim in the hotel pool with the grand kids, know that the body is fighting off the chlorine which is trying to puncture through your skin.
While I am at it, go with perfume and chemical free shampoo, soaps, skin moisturizers, etc. etc.
It all makes sense. The drug and chemicals hate these forums.
