I just started iodine 2 weeks ago. I got acne for the first time due to premenopause. Struggled to find an answer for 3 freakin months. Three days after starting iodine (3 drops in water), selenium, and magnesium lotion it was GONE. Night sweats GONE. Loads of energy to burn and sleeping great. Miracle supplement.
Brownstein claims that average healthy Japanese consume 13 mg of iodine daily via their seafood rich diet.
right...Brownstein says 13.8mg/day. Other sources show up to 45-50mg
Bottom line is, we need to consume alot more iodine than we’re getting in a typical American diet and I contend this deficiency is the direct cause of MOST of our cancers as well as obesity.
I want to increase my iodine. I’m afraid of the detox affect coming a lot quicker. What should I know and what should I have on hand?
There is laboratory proof and history of SOME that should not have too much: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Use+of+Iodine+for+Water+Disinfection%3a+Iodine+Toxicity+and+Maximum...-a066354878 I do not know of any facts of medical science that have conclusive evidence that taking X20 or more times the RDA does anything for you positive. There is evidence that taking too much (and this number will vary according to the individual) for 2-3 weeks can cause harm. Balance in all things.
salt salt salt. do 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon every day, regardless, but salt load if symptoms jump up on you. That means doing salt every 30 minutes or so and then follow with alot of water.
On the yahoo and facebook iodine sites, alot of people say the detox symptoms stopped when they went high on dosage; 100mg + per day. Be sure you’re taking selenium mag and vitamin C too. Crucial to do the supporting nutrients.
that site didn’t make any sense....at all. It says taking higher iodine doses cause hypothyroidism and goiter. Bogus.
The exact opposite is true.
