Funny taste in mouth is one of the bromide symptoms.

 

Are you taking the supporting supps?  (Vit C, Magnesium, unrefined sea salt, etc)

 

From what I have read it is fine to take the dose all at once and that is what I have been doing.

 

You can try salt loading and detox baths if you want to help get past some of the detox stuff a little faster.  I do the epsom salt baths and that always helps for me.  I am looking into buying a FIR Sauna but they are quite expensive.  And from what I am reading the less expensive ones may come with their own risks.  Sigh, nothing ever seems easy.

My questions are this.1. Now that I am up so 50mg per day seemingly without issue, how do I know what my optimal dose is?2.  Should I just take the 50mg all at once or keep splitting it up throughout the day?

I have acne problems still.  My energy level is better since starting iodine.  I've been gaining weight over the last few months especially since starting HC.  I have a different taste in my mouth a while after taking iodine.  Is this the taste of the Iodince or the Bromide pushing out?

For the detox baths, also add 1 cup hydrogen peroxide to the 1 cup Epsom salts for the bath. Helps even more! Do take the iodine all at once. Most people do best taking it by early afternoon so it doesn’t affect sleep. Donna in IL Funny taste in mouth is one of the bromide symptoms. Are you taking the supporting supps?

I actually have been doing the epsom salt baths in addition to salt

supplementing and all the supporting supps for about three months prior to even

starting iodine. I think it has helped me have such a good initial reaction to

the iodine without really obnoxious detox symptoms. I have been using a liver

support/cleanse for a couple of months too. I too am wishing for a FIR Sauna.

Maybe one day...

How do you know how much iodine to take? I have seen people say at least 50mg a

day which is where I'm at but then I see others who are taking up to 100mg or

more. What do I need to look for to decide whether or not to up my dose?

Thanks,

Beth

I've been gaining weight over the last few months especially since starting HC.

I have a different taste in my mouth a while after taking iodine. Is this the

taste of the Iodince or the Bromide pushing out?

Acne is a bromide detox symptom. If the detox is coming out through the

skin, that is a sign that your detox pathways aren't working very well. I

saw you later wrote that you are taking all the companion nutrients

(including selenium?), so that's good.

You don't need to split your dose. Many people don't feel a lot of action

in their bodies until they get up to 100mg and more. You can up your dose

and find out how it feels. You're not going to harm yourself so you're

free to explore.

Ah, ok Beth, it sounds like the acne is probably hormonal. Well as Steph

has been pointing out, no nutrient works alone. I've been taking the full

selenium amount and I was able to fix my adrenal exhaustion, so again I

think people recommending against selenium are doing so by overthinking or

only looking at part of the physiological picture.

Glad you're having good results!
