The only rule that I know of is the recommendation from Dr. David Brownstein that we ALL need at least 50mg of iodoral everyday to keep pace with the bromides assaulting us daily. If you are dealing with health problems like FBD, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, hashimotos thyroiditis then 50mg is the minimum you should take. And ALWAYS, ALWAYS take selenium with the iodine. The recommended form is seleniomethione. Taking the recommended supplements (see breastcancerchoices.org/iodineindex.html) is a good idea.
Doing daily salt flushes help get the bromide out. Doing more than once a day if detox symptoms become bad. Taking a liver supporting herb like milk thistle and or N-acetyl-cysteine can dramatically improve detox symptoms as the liver can get overloaded quickly with bromide and helping the liver can help reduce detox symptoms (especially bromide acne).
If you have other issues like adrenal fatigue or heavy metals, then you might have to start lower and go slower taking many, many breaks from the Iodine (keep taking selenium, companion supplements and salt pushes--with unrefined salt like celtic, himalayan or Redmond's Realsalt).
If you find the detox symptoms overwhelming, taking breaks (pulse dosing) or dropping back to a lower dose may be helpful.
Finally, it is a really good idea to read ALL the posts here on this forum, get a copy of David Brownstein's book (Iodine: why you need it, why you can't live without it), read all the info on the breastcancerchoices.org site about iodine. This forum is a gold mine full of valuable information on the latest Iodine research information and people's experiences on detoxing and resolving health problems.
