Re: Hairloss, not.

Hi Ginagirl,

How long did the hair thinning stage last for you before you started to notice thicker hair? And how much Iodine was you taking during all that time?

I just begun to experience bad hair loss and thinning (along with bad bloating and tummy gain) that got me concerned and I have pulsed dosing Iodine for a week now. My hair used to be much thicker and fuller than other people before iodine.

I just recently discovered the notion of adrenal fatigue and how that Iodine could worsen that condition and one of the reasons for hair loss is the lack of the adrenal's ability to create the DHEA hormone? I wonder if hair loss is a sign of adrenal fatigue and should one fix adrenal fatigue first before taking iodine?

I have been on 50mg of Lugol's and have considered jumping up to 100mg or even 125mg until my symptoms came up (didn't know I was supposed to salt flush so I missed some detox opportunity). I noticed that you have mentioned the advantages of upping the dose in many posts. Would you recommend going to 100mg for someone who may have adrenal fatigue (I did some self testing with the suggestione on the internet and I think I probably have medium to mild adrenal fatigue)? With your experience, do you think jumping up to 100mg is more likely to help the symptoms, hair loss, bloating, insomnia, etc., or worsen it?

Really look forward to your response. Thank you! Tweet
