Re: Iodine dose
Hi Allegro:
"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..."
Let me start out by saying I Really Appreciate!! what Trapper has done with this forum, I have learned SO much from him and the VWT team! but on one point I beg to differ.
If you are having such reactions at 270 micrograms! per day and you try to go to 6.25mg or 12.5 mg or 100 mg you would, in my opinion, be NUTS
When I started out I could barely even breathe the
Iodine (from one drop in a glass with water). I had to increase by the number of breaths I took per day! and had reactions as severe as yours at every little microstep.
Perhaps for some people rubbing up to 6.25mg or more can get a more efficient detox going, but frankly those are people who still have bodily systems in place that Can be rubbed up. Unfortunately, there are some of us that are So TOXED to the limit and damaged we simply don't even have that.
Go very slow please.
The
Iodine will help you! as you persist. It simply will be a long haul, but more than worth it.
Also, I was able to take simple
Iodide (KI) solutions at first much better than those (like Lugol's) with a mix that included iodine (I2).
