Re: bromide detox symptom duration

[Guest guest]

No there is absolutely no estimate or average time frame. And the idea that

detox would

ramp up to 50mg and subside after that is also not the case. Generally, the

higher the dose,

the more the detox symptoms, even and especially over 50mg.

If you're uncomfortable with the level of detox symptoms you're experiencing,

reduce the

amount of iodine you're taking and let that reduced dose " soak " or stay at that

level until your

body has a chance to get better at moving out the bromides once they are

released from the

cell receptors. Those free-circulating bromides are what cause the detox

symptoms, so the

better one's body gets at detoxing, the fewer symptoms and more quickly

subsiding.

Everyone is different, too different for there to be any average experience.

Each person's

ability to detox is very very different, diet and exposures to bromides and

other halides, etc.

We hear about a person who is taking 3 drops of 2% and gets bromide acne, we

hear about

someone who starts off at 50mg with no significant detox symptoms.

The iodine protocol requires that people be willing and able to monitor their

own experience

and make decisions accordingly. How much and how fast to ramp up your dose is

totally

individual and personal.

I realize this isn't what you wanted to hear, but there it is.
