Iodine users, side effects

[Guest guest]

For those of you who use iodine successfully, did you ever experience side

effect of acne? If so, is there some way to remedy this? I tried Iodoral for 1

week, developed very, very painful acne in my ears and nose (strange). May be

coincidental, but I have never experienced this before. Just wondering if there

is a way to prevent adverse reactions like this.

I have been on Iodoral for years now and have never noticed any side

effects.

the only things I noticed were that I was able to decrease the amount of

Armour I take, my fibrocystic breast " disease " disappeared, and I've had

good mammograms since I began taking it after having had three biopsies

before I started taking it.

I think I heard someone say if you take too much you can get a metallic

taste in your mouth.

I think there are side effects with any drug and I foudn that what you are

experiencing is listed as one of them:

" Iodoral supplements work well with people who have problems with thyroid

production. However, these supplements might not work well for everyone.

There are people who suffer side-effects from these medicines, including the

formation of acne-like lesions on some parts of the body, increased sneezing

and salivation, severe headache especially in the frontal sinus and a brassy

taste on the tongue.

Hand tremors, muscle weakness, significant hair loss, abnormal weight loss,

heart palpitations, breathlessness, increased irritability, insomnia and

many more discomforts and disorders may also be experienced while taking

Iodoral. Likewise, women might experience disruption in their menstrual

cycle. When any of these signs are felt or experienced, it is best to stop

taking Iodoral and consult a doctor. "

i am new here but yes..those side effects can happen and did happen to some of

my family....are you doing the entire iodine protocol not just iodine? that

would include magnesium, selenium, vitamin c, and sea salt (good salt , not

white salt)

 

i think the acne is often a result of bromide detoxification...and you are

supposed to use more " dirty " sea salt to push it out....

 

that helps  a lot with symptoms of detox....go to the iodine group on for

more info on that ...

Thanks ladies. Haven, I did see that listed in the Iodoral information sheet,

and had heard of others experiencing it. Dawn, I wasn't even aware there was a

protocol - will check out the group.

I know of naturalthyroidhormone group in . Also i would like to add that

instead of idoral one should take nascent iodine or Dr. Group's detoxinamide

iodine. These are the most bioavaiable form of iodine and is elemental iodine

instead of a compound iodine which is usually in the form of potasium iodide.

I did not take Iodoral- but when a started taking just a low dose amount of

iodine drops- I got a metallic taste for a bit and a bad headache . I lowered

the dose and still got a bad headache and felt odd for a bit -after a week or

two- the side effects went away. Perhaps you could lower the dose? And likewise

perhaps for you the side effects will wane?

I had a lot of blood tests done lately, but the lab used the wrong procedure for

my iodine test, so I don't know where I stand with that until I get it retested

(never tested before for iodine).

I tried replacing Synthyroid with Lugol's (2 drops per day last year), but my

thyroid readings (all 3 main ones tested) got very low, I was feeling awful,

losing hair, etc, so am back on Synthyroid again. I'm still on the 2 drops of

Lugol's p/day and putting it on topically, too (had a double mastectomy a year

ago). Recently I've added 12.5 mg Iodoral and plan to get that iodine test

tried again.

What I want to ask is: last year, while I was off the synthyroid, I was able to

lose 1 lb. per week dieting(that's good for me), but this year, while back on

the Synthyroid, I can't budge a pound staying at 1200 calories a day (good

nutrition), and I'm moderately active.

I thought helping a hypothyroid was supposed to help lose weight, but my

circumstance seems just the opposite!

Anybody shed any light on this?
