I believe you answered this yourself; "Well about 1 week after stopping iodine, I’ve experienced the following: dehydration, muscle/joint aches, flushing, hot flashes, loose stools, heart palps, extreme anxiety, and throat tightness like something is stuck in my throat." So you had an initial good effect of iodine, but quit due to a vacation without it and then hell broke lose health wise. First that come to my mind is to restart iodine, increase the dosage, make sure you take all companions.
Detox after 6 weeks of no iodine; hardly possible. More like a re-intoxication as the fluoride / bromide etc had just another chance to be on top of the chain.
I recommend to re-read the books and search this forum for relevant info. Good luck to ya.
