Iodism (was Iodoral Headaches?)

[Guest guest]

,

The principals in the iodine movement as well as user groups such as this are reexamining the concept of "Iodism" as it has been historically recorded in the source you cite. Please look up Guy Abraham's work on the Wolff-Chaikoff effect. And his notion of "iodophobia" which developed in the recent years post Wolff-Chaikoff.

A new paradigm about iodine is developing which questions the existence and extent of iodism. For some reason, that which would be called "dose-related adverse effects" from other forms of nutritional supplementation, is called "iodism" with iodine. It conjures up images of a permanent kind of "zombieism."

The doctors I have spoken to about the adverse effects all say cutting the iodine dose back will reverse the symptoms within 24-48 hours. That has been my personal experience and that of my colleagues as well. Since the theory is, it may take months if not years, for iodine to saturate the tissues through build-up, stopping temporarily then restarting has been a common practice among users if the adverse effects become troublesome.

Of course, none of us can advise, recommend or make suggestions to you about your iodine dosage, but it's clear you are concerned that you are taking too much to feel confident around your young child.

Please let us know how you proceed.

This webpage:http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/nmdrugprofiles/nutsupdrugs/iod_0146.shtmllists the frontal headache as a sign of "iodism."It also lists a whole slew of other possible side-effects from large dosesof iodine that we may not have read about yet on this list. Some of themare quite scary, including arrhythmias (we knew this one), angioedema,mucosal hemorrhages, fatal periarteritis, hemorrhages and perforations ofthe intestines, pulmonary edema, etc..
