Updates like yours, K, are important. I healed both the thyroid and the adrenals simultanously, but that may be due to me doing the watercure one year prior to iodine. It helped adrenal issues like insomnia, stress, palpitations.

I started the ascorbic acid when the detox was at its worst. I didnt tolerate much back then, while now it is no problem with up to 10 grams a day if I want to. (my maintenance is 4 grams a day)

vitamin C is crucial in collagen re-building;
"Understandably, the synthesis of this structure proceeds in steps. While it has been known for half a century (these words written in 1985) that vitamin C is essential to the manufacture of collagen, the process is only now yielding to inquiry. It appears that vitamin C is involved at every step.

First, a three dimensional stranded structure is assembled, with the amino acids glycine and proline as its principal components. This is not yet collagen but its precursor, procollagen. A recent study shows that vitamin C must have an important role in its synthesis. Prolonged exposure of cultures of human connective-tissue cells to ascorbate induced an eight-fold increase in the synthesis of collagen with no increase in the rate of synthesis of other proteins (Murad et al., 1981). Since the production of procollagen must precede the production of collagen, vitamin C must have a role in this step -- the formation of the polypeptide chains of procollagen -- along with its better understood role int he conversion of procollagen to collagen."
