I've been having 2-4 BMs per day, I suspect mainly because I've been eating way too many grain foods of late. My gut feeling, pun very much intended, is that 2 BMs/day, soft and easily passed, is the proper amount. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 > > Which brand did you buy? Iodorol or just plain vanilla? , Iodoral. But be warned, I experienced some considerable and unpleasant bromide/flouride detox reactions at first. Very foggy head, speeding heart, frontal headache. I didn't realize the iodine was provoking it until later. If one just backs off the iodine dose, it stops. If you are interested, check out the Y! iodine list and read through their extensive files: iodine/ B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allyn, I don't know for *certain* that it was flouride/bromide detox, but those were the symptoms I had and I stopped the Iodoral, then read about the detox symptoms and they matched. So I started the Iodoral again, this time at a much lower dose and worked my way back up to four/day. No problems. Hopefully you won't have any of that inconvenience. I saw improvements immediately. My body temp seemed to go up and I had more " drive " , for lack of a better description. I haven't taken my temp because the thermometer broke, but I'm not cold anymore and thepeople I touch comment on the difference. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I have been reading up on iodine deficiency and I have read that it will help with constipation and regularity. Go figure!

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Thanks for your response. After asking you the questions I did find that on the web regarding fluoride/bromine detox so I guess I will watch for it when I get it and I guess start slowly like Everything else.

My extremeties are still cold often at 12.5 mgs daily and 1.5 grains of Armour. But I do have much more energy now. And I'm sure the dosing is an individual thing, but interested in what you're taking. I also don't exercise as much as you do currently so I'm sure that my metabolism is slower than it should be.

Suze, I take 2 or 3 or 4 a day. Usually four. four x 12.5 per tab = 50 mg. (I know you can add but I'm just clarifying for everyone.) This is what the instructions say that come with the loading test--which I never took--to take two in the morning and two in the afternoon for several months. So I figured it is a safe dose if they say that to everyone. OTOH one can get symptoms of " iodism " from too high a dose, and if so, just stopping the iodine will take care of it, then increase it again to a comfortable level. I just take all four at once because I'm too distractable and on the road, etc. to deal with an afternoon dose at this time. Anyone trying it out, my suggestion is to take one tab daily for a week, then, if comfortable with that, add another tab for a week, etc. until four tabs. If you are very sensitive, the tabs can be split in teo, taken every-other-day, etc. And best to take a loading test, first: http://www.helpmythyroid.com/iodine.htm B.
