Iodine dose

Hi all,

I've begun Iodine supplementation in the form of potassium Iodide at a dose of 270mcg/day. Even at this small amount I'm totally revved up and haven't been able to sleep well the past few nights. Not to mention that I'm having detox symptoms: metallic taste, plugged up liver, crying bouts etc...

I've read thru past posts on this forum and folks were taking doses in the mg range. How is this possible?? I'm cutting down to 1 drop (90mcg, that's MICROgrams) once a day or every other day. Am I taking the wrong form of iodine?

I'm also doing IV chelation for heavy metals, pretty loaded with those. My skin has turned an orange-ish/tan color on my face during this process...?? copper toxicity? Or, just heavy metals in general. It's why I've begun taking iodine. I've read that it can get things mobilized more easily. In addition to Iodine and IV chelation I'm also taking modified citrus pectin.

Any suggestions on Iodine dosage and type of iodine I should be taking? Tweet
