in need of help 2 months into iodine. have i been taking the wrong salt ? have i been not detoxing properly?

I have been supplementing Iodine for about 2 months now. I am a vegan and was looking for essentials I could not get from my diet. I came across Iodine and started supplementing in micrograms. Those days were my best days as I felt energized, skin was better, and felt more alert.

Then I started to more research and went ahead and started supplementing Lugols 2%. At this point the only co supplement I was using was selenium. I went up to 25mg over the course of a couple weeks and thats when my detox symptoms started to hit very badly.

My main goals were to clear up my skin and enhance brain functions. I have been struggling with Acne and eczema. I started to research more on the co factors needed. I started to salt load, supplement niacin 250mg, riboflavin 100mg, zinc 25mg, selenium 300mcg, vitamin c 2-10g, and magnesium 400mg. All these did not help much with my detox symptoms.

My skin was drying and flaking so bad at one point that I gave in and took a 50mg dose after reading people's success with high dose protocols. That helped for a few days until I started to develop rashes all over mostly on my neck and shoulders. I took 4 days off. Rashes were still there but I felt better after taking lots of vitamin C.

After that I took a bold step and took a 100mg dose. Bad move. Since then I have been in a heavy detox symptom state for longer than a week now. Rashes and acne, heavy brain fog fatigue. I immediately stopped but the symptoms seemed to get worse.


I also realized that I was using Morton Sea Salt which may or may not be unrefined. So I bought Celtic's Sea Salt and have been doing 1/2tsp 2-3 times a day. That seems to be helping, but very slowly. So my question is, have I not been detoxing correctly this whole time? Would me salt loading with Morton Sea Salt really stop me from clearing bromide out of my system?
