Re: No detox symptoms on 200 mg Iodoral - what now?

I wouldn't say that there is anything wrong. Your body is just keeping up with whatever you are throwing off. You may want to try to get a loading test with bromide levels if you are concerned about your status. Sounds like you have had some positive benefits. Congratulations!

No detox symptoms on 200 mg Iodoral - what now?

Hi all,I've been taking Iodoral for almost 2 years now - worked my way up from 12.5 mg to now 200 mg for the past 4-5 months and from what I can tell I've never had a single detox symptom.I am also taking the companion nutrients -4000 mg vitamin C200 mcg selenium2x ATP cofactors300 mg magnesium citrateWhat am I doing wrong? I really feel that I should have had SOME detox symptoms by now - or do some people never get them? (By the way I think my liver is ok - at least not highly toxic - because I've done several rounds of Metagenics UltraClear over the past few years.)The only side effect I have had is that I needed to lower my thyroid dose (I only have 1/2 my thyroid left from thyroid cancer so I'm on a combo of 0.05 mg Synthroid + 60 mg dessicated thyroid.... with the Iodoral I have had to lower the dessicated thyroid from 90 mg to my current 60 mg).I have never had an iodine loading test, should that be my next step? I am doing this on my own as my ND here in Toronto is not knowledgeable about iodine.Any suggestions would be much appreciated - thank you!

Hi ,

I don’t see unrefined Celtic Sea Salt on your list, I assume you are taking it daily, yes? I have taken iodine for many years ( I am now taking 100mg daily) and I have never had a detox symptom either. Most likely your detox pathways are clear, as mine probably are. Not everyone has detox symptoms, so I would say you are not doing anything wrong. Sounds to me like you are doing much right! Kind regards, Kathleen
