Re: Bad detox symptoms for weeks now on Lugols what can I do?

For whatever it's worth, I will share what I did. I have had sub-clinical hypo t symptoms for years. I discovered curezone via Marks Daily Apple forum. I was following a Iodine thread over on MDA. I made the decision after lots of reading to start Iodine supplementation. I started off really slow and finally titrated up to 12.5mg/day. It took me a good 6 months to get to that dosage. I took all of the Brownstein recommended co-supplements, and followed a Paleo diet. I also take milk thistle 2x/day. I pulse dosed, 5 days on, 2 days off. My detox during those 6 months was just plain awful. It was also really stressing my adrenals too. My bad days certainly out numbered my good days. It just was not worth it to me. So I decided to jump in with both feet a month and a half ago. I just had to get this detox over with already. I upped my daily dose to 50 mg. I am now up to 70 mg/day. Funny thing, I have not experienced any of the major detox symptoms that I did at the 12.5mg dose. I will have the occasional day when I feel a little "blue" but that has been it. I no longer regularly pulse dose, only if I feel like I need to take a day or two off. I have added phosphatidylserine in the evening for adrenal support. I hope to be up to 100mg/day by the end of the year.

Not saying this approach will work for you, I am just so glad I jumped in with both feet.
