Re: Instructions for Iodine application

[Guest guest]

So are they saying to stop using the iodine after it stays on for 24 hours? Do you just steadily decrease your thryoid meds if you are already taking them? I'd like to stop taking mine, and just use iodine...well, as long as it doesn't break my face out like it normally does! I did dramatically decrease my meds a couple of years ago when I was doing a LOT of iodine. Then my doctor told me to stop taking it, and I went several months without it, and had to really increase my thyroid medicine again...guess that was my doctor's plan. lol I also notice my neck is HUGE in photos, when I don't use it. No doctor has ever said my neck was larger than normal though, but I can sure tell it in photos! I've been taking iodine/kelp supplements the last few days, and really feel a definite improvement in how quickly I think,

and my memory. I KNOW iodine is good, not bad for you!Tricia Trish <glory2glory1401@...> wrote: http://www.noaw.com/Iodine%20Def/tincture_of_iodine.htm Instructions for ApplicationUse applicator rod to apply Iodine to upper thigh or low abdomen (or any other area of skin where the Iodine is

Leyna,

According to my ND, the face breakout is a sign that you are using too much

iodine.

Kenda, But it happens if I use ANY iodine.....and the iodine spot I paint is gone within one hour!

I can't answer that question. I wonder if there are other reasons that

cause the absorption of iodine so quickly.
