Thanks . I forgot to mention the magnesium, I take either magnesium

citrate or malate depending on where I order!

How long would you expect the swelling feeling to last? What were your

experiences?

Thanks!

see Magnesium in there. Have you looked at the new members document in the

files section to see what is recommended to take with the iodine?

The problem with detox is that it can manifest so differently in different people. There is no single specific symptom that everybody will get. We are kind of stuck with a vague, blanket term.AnneOn Feb 28, 2011, at 4:39 AM, joolsweb wrote: I have been reading this group with interest, and have purchased some 12.5mg Iodoral, Vitamin C, and selenium.

I am also not seeing the very important unrefined sea salt in your list down there which helps with detoxing.  The runny nose is a very typical detox symptom, as is the feeling run down.  I have noduals in my thyroid - which is what led me here in the first place - and experienced some swallowing issues after starting Iodoral plus companions.  This is also listed on the detox list.  I also seem to be detoxing through the skin - not facial acne but on the scalp under the hair.  If I do epsom salt detox baths and up my oral salt intake both seem to improve.  When I get lax on the baths and the salt intake both seem to worsen.

Thanks Anne - good point I need to get some. I also have some Carsons omega 3

oil (Best of the best!).

I have also been feeling cold, and I have read all sorts before about excess

iodine causing hypothyroidism or even damaging the thyroid. (Although I see this

is dismissed here, it is hard to shake off conventional wisdom!)

How long did you all experience 'adjustment' symptoms?

[Guest guest]

It isn't very common so I can't give you a normal. But personally if I felt it go on for more than 2 weeks or it gets worse then I would re-evaluate my protocol.
