Can bromine toxicity cause cough, sore throat symptoms?

[Guest guest]

Just upped my Iodoral from 12.5 mg/day to 50 mg/day and now have awful sore

throat, cough, head and chest congestion. No fever to speak of. First time I've

been sick for years (since I started supplementing with Vitamin D and keeping my

blood levels of it above 50). I haven't read of these sorts of symptoms from

bromine toxicity, but am curious what others think.

I do know I am highly toxic in bromine. Dr. Flechas, who consulted with my doc,

said my 24-hour-loading test bromine excretion (well over 50mg) was extreme,

worse than 7 out of 8 people they've tested. He's the one who suggested going to

50 mg Iodoral and retesting in three months. He was very concerned about that

level of bromine, especially in someone who's been on 12.5 mg Iodoral for the

better part of a year.

Thanks.
