Guest guest Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 ,I think you are normal because there are thousands on the list who never write in and likely those are the ones with little or no symptoms. Good for you. Similar to my experience to 4 years on 50 mg and up to over 100 lately.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 , Likely it is the fact that you work out and have been drinking pure water for quite a while that is helping you. However, bromide acne (the breakouts on your face) is a sign that regular detox pathways are not working well. A bromide headache is a " normal " detox symptom. The acne is a sign that you need to work on your detox pathways, or that you are detoxing faster than your body can process. Normal detox is through the urine, if it goes through the skin that is not desirable and indicates inadequate function or too high a dose of iodine. I recommend that ebay seller, have bought from him on numerous occasions, so that's not the problem. If you need testosterone, and you're getting it, then your body will be working more efficiently, so yes that would increase your overall health and ability to detox with fewer painful symptoms. But the acne is a sign that things are amiss. I predict that if you stay at 150mg or go higher, at some point you will start to detox heavily (the acne predicts this). Both Steph and I have described increasing our iodine dose and it taking 10 to 14 days for detox symptoms to appear. But good work, for sure! I recommend that you back down from the 150mg and let a lower dose soak for a while. The bromide acne should clear within a few days, if it does not, you need to lower the dose even further. If you let the dose soak for 2-3 weeks and try raising it again, if you again get the acne it would be a sign that you need to do some focused work on your body's detox pathways, usually in the nature of far-infrared saunas and/or the liver-gallbladder flush, or other types of detoxing regimes. -- At 10:31 PM 4/19/2011, you wrote: >Hey Guys, > I hope that I do not come off as overconfident when I say this, but I > am amazed that I have been experiencing nearly Zero detox symptoms after > starting the Iodine protocol.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi !How wonderful for you!!! I think we confuse detoxing and detox symptoms. We want to detox, that is get the junk out of our bodies. If our pathways are open and functioning well, you can detox without symptoms. But if the pathways are not functioning well, the junk that is released does not get out of the body fast, and it causes detox symptoms, which can be very unpleasant. But just because you don’t get symptoms does NOT mean you are not detoxing! I think we all need to be clearer on this when talking about it, so people don’t think it is working if they don’t have symptoms. Ok, here is a probably bad example. We all have a garbage can in our house. We put garbage in the can. If we take it out of the house regularly, all is well. But if we leave the garbage in the house for a longer period of time, it begins to rot and smell in the house. So taking the garbage outside regularly clears it out before it smells and we notice it. We still have garbage, but is it causing a problem because it is not removed or is it not noticed because we did remove it? How is that?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Thank you to Donna, , and Pam for the timely responses. Your answers made great sense. I will likely reduce my iodine does to 100mg for a week or two and raise it back to 150 mg to see what happens.Thanks again,Sent from my iPhone 4On Apr 20, 2011, at 9:50 AM, Donna Iler <Donna@...> wrote: Hi !How wonderful for you!!!
