Re: crashing on higher doses of iodine

Ginagirl,
I'm no longer on a raw vegan diet, my adrenals got so bad that I had to cut out most of the fruit and now I'm on a whole food high protein diet from which I feel much better.

I forgot to mention that I was also taking ATP cofactors (vitamin b2/b3) and a vitamin b complex.

I have done 75mg of Lugols for a few weeks and I went up to 100mg for 2 weeks, that is when I experienced the most severe crashes. It was after that I backed down to 25mg.

I understand that the way our bodies work sometimes you go through a rough patch before it gets better, but this is something I gave 9 months! On higher doses 50-100mg+ I feel amazing at first but then I crash hard taking days to recover. The first 2 months I felt soo good though. It seems like Iodine taxes my adrenals too hard. Tweet
