Trapper is constantly exhorting people to start with 100 mg, and you went and did it! As you have seen, things happen fast and furious at the level. If you can maintain it by regular dosing of salt and copious amount of water -- plus sweating, so it comes out your pores instead of through your kidneys -- you will get through this yucky part very fast. I wouldn't go past 24 drops (150 mg) on Lugol's. Any greater amount should be SSKI. In fact, at some point you might back off on the Lugol's to 8 drops (50 mg) and fill in the rest with SSKI. You'll get all the detox you can handle without the stress of metabolizing the iodine. Most excellent!
If your dream isn't taken literally, it can surely be considered a metaphor for iodine "digging into" all the cells of your body, and routing out what doesn't belong there.
