Re: Side effects unbearable

It helps if you specify which Iodine you are taking. Regardless, your symptoms sound like bromine detox. This can be greatly helped by additional salted water. Here is a list of helpful hints from Lynne Farrow of Breast Cancer Choices:

1. Salt load and drink lots of water with it. Add at least ½ tsp unprocessed salt to daily diet. This can be in the form of ¼ tsp unprocessed salt per quart/liter of water. Consider trying ¾ tsp unprocessed salt in 3 quarts/liters of water each day.

2. Pulse-dose iodine. Stop Iodine for 48 hours to rest the kidneys while continuing Companion Nutrients (see below).

3. Reduce the Iodine dose temporarily, then work back up.

4. Take Vitamin C 3 grams or more spread throughout the day.

5. Take Iodine Companion Nutrients to enhance cell detoxification.
ATP Cofactors 2 a day (each tablet = B2 riboflavin 100 mg + B3 niacin 500 mg as inositol hexanicotinate)
Magnesium 300-600 mg
Selenomethionine 200 mcg

6. Use Zinc 25 mg for skin symptoms.

7. My addition – Oil Pull several times a day, at least 2 hours apart, using 1-2 tbsp organic sesame oil. Swish for 5-20 minutes. If this works for you, when you spit out the oil it may be quite stinky.
