Iodine and mercury

[Guest guest]

Since I started supplementing iodine (lugol's), I've noticed an

increase in metal toxicity (or detox) symptoms. Metal taste, feeling

of metals coming out of the eyes, smelling of it and feeling awful. I

assume it's detox symptoms or at least redistribution. I've had a

repoisoning from recent dental office visits and wonder if the iodine

has somehow stirred up the mercury in me?

Would like to hear anybody else's feelings on this. I've stopped it

for now because I cannot tolerate the increase in symptoms, plus as

it's not a chelating agent, I'm concerned that it may just be

mobilising things and possiby making it unnecessarily worse.

I do need more iodine, testing has proven that, but obviously it's

playing havoc right now. I was not on too high a dose either. I had a

diluted form of lugol's (250 mcg a drop). I took 4 drops a day. I

will definitely be starting on a much reduced dosage, but wonder if

anybody else has experienced this?

Thanks for any responses.
