no you should increase the Iodoral to 4 tabs/day but I guess I might get in trouble for that so I will say

you should realize there is a debate about iodine. Conventional docs/allopathic medicine thinks we get all we need. read Brownstein's book on Iodine for why you would want to take more.

I have taken 50mg Iodoral for 6 months.

My question is I already am taking Iodoral, but I was bored this morning so I did a web search on symptoms of taking too Iodine. And every website says that we shouldn't need to take iodine because there is enough in salt and food. So now I am scared that I shouldn't be taking it. I take 2 a day of the Iodoral. I haven't taken any test, but I think on my lunch break I should go to the health store and get some liquid iodine to do a skin test. I started taking the Iodoral last Friday and since then I have had 2 times where I tasted metak in my mouth. Also I have had acne both on my face and my neck. But I don't know if it is from my taking maybe too much prigestrone or from th iodine or just plain from me fixing to start my period soon. As I don't pay attention enough to my body when I start different things. So should I stop the Iodoral?Vicky

Vicky,

I look forward to your answer. I began taking Iodo on Saturday (2 a

day). Monday and Tuesday I had pretty bad headaches and noticed some

acne on my cheek (49, post-meno, so no period coming).

I too read about all the " iodine in the salt " , but I've also read that

most of the " iodine " in salt, bread, etc, is actually " bromide " (or

something like that) which is actually harmful to the thyroid.

Today I took just one Iodo and also lowered my dose of Armour from 3 to

2.5 grains. So far so good.

I did do the skin patch test, and in a matter of a couple of hours the

stain was totally gone, which indicated to me that I was definitely

deficient in iodine.

Another thing I have noticed since starting the Iodo is that my

throat/thyroid is noticible. In other words, swallowing can become

something of a chore sometimes.

The pkg insert says that if you experience any of these side effects,

to stop taking the Iodoral and call your dr.

Acne-like lesions in certain areas of your body

Headache in the frontal sinus

Unpleasant brassy taste

Increased salavation and sneezing

You could stop taking it and just try the iodine patch (painting a 2

inch square on your body) to see how long it takes to go away. I hope

you're using sea salt in your foods. The mortons is garbage.

So let me get this straight. You are mega dosing iodine without having done any

research or

testing and only now are realizing that 98% of the medical profession thinks it

is dangerous?

IMO, you should stop the iodine and read up on it and understand exactly what it

is that you are

doing and the risks you are taking, if any.

Me too. Dr. B told me it was OK to keep going. Mine were not severe though just annoying. I have done several detoxes and this felt like that.

I wonder why they say to stop the iodoral and to call your dr if you

experience those symptoms? I'm not getting any of those symptoms. How

long have you been on the iodoral?

everything I read about Iodoral says one will have the most success on 50mg/day which is the loading dose to get to iodine sufficiency. Lower doses will take much longer. For me personally, 50 mg has been the right dose. Taking less causes problems.

Interesting. Yes, I'm taking Redmon's Sea Salt, 1500 to 2000 mg of

vit C and calcium/mag/zine...no selenium. Do I need selenium?

Can eating store-bought bread be putting bromide into my system?

There are actually only two little red spots slightly raised on my

left cheekbone. Today they're almost gone...Oh great!!!...just

realized I didn't take any of my vitamins and supplements this

morning!

I do have my Armour, Vit C and iron supplements with me at work.

Whew!

Can I take the iodine, potassium, calcium/mag/zinc and multi-vit

around 5pm without interfering with my sleep later? I don't think I

should take the sublingual B12 that late tho.

Does that mean you take iron around the same time as your thyroid hormone?

It's known to interfere with thyroid absorption. Of course, the sublingual

Armour people think they have that solved, as they allege sublingual

ingestion is not affected by iron, calcium, magnesium in the way those who

swallow pills are. Some people wonder if Armour can realy be absorbed

sublingually, as it is not specifically formulated for that, and some hint

that maybe all that does is dissolve the pill and it still gets digested the

regular way.

Beyond that, have you been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia? If not,

taking iron can actually be harmful.

Most doctors will see anemia, and assume iron deficiency without bothering

to test the iron and ferritin levels.

No. I try to have at least 3 hours between taking any Armour and any

iron. Armour at 6am, 10:45, 1:45 and iron at 4:30 to 5 pm, just before

I leave work.

I take one 18mg cap of iron a day.

maybe it's some legal issue, so they can't be sued. I have been on Iodoral for more than 6 months and feel well on it. Don't feel well off of it.
