RE: Please tell me what you think

[Guest guest]

I'm not the authority but I had a similar experience to yours last year. I

experienced both anxiety/panic attacks and air hunger while taking a low dose of

Lugol's.

Sweating and headaches and possibly fatigue definitely sound like detox

symptoms. From what others have said (I haven't experienced it), swelling

thyroid could be the thyroid's attempt to pull in as much iodine as possible.

Suggestions would be to either

1) stick it out - making sure you are taking all the the supplements in proper

doses,

2) pulse dose - take iodine and supplements for 5 days, then take supplements

only for 2 days, or

3) increase dosage, assuming that your body is reacting because it wants MORE

iodine than you are giving it.

I cannot tell you which to do. I took almost a year off despite some positive

results because of the negatives. Just started back not quite two weeks ago.

I've built up from 2.5 mg (1 drop of Lugol's) to 10 mg (4 drops) without a

problem so far and am hopeful this trend continues.

If you aren't taking all the recommended supplements in recommended amounts, I'd

probably start there.

Hi ,Those are possible detox symptoms. Are you taking all the companion supplements? And have you tried salt loading? That will help settle the detox symptoms. Please read the new members document that they just updated. You received a new copy of it on Sunday night. It will help you understand what is going on. If you salt load and it helps the symptoms, then you might just need to support your liver to help clear the toxins out of your body better.
