Awesome report! Thank you! :)For anyone interested in our iodine experiment. @burtlancast (?) Guests were here for 5 days. There were 11 (up to 15) of us and it was stressful but fun. (A 2- year-old and 2 5-year-olds kept things lively.) During that time I maintained a 350 mg daily dose of Lugols. I had heart palpitations a few nights, but salt and protein stopped them. (Bromine detox can cause heart arrythmia.)
I'm still detoxing bromine through my sinuses (and eyes) but it isn't keeping me awake anymore. I AM taking 1 extra tsp of salt (divided) and extra magnesium (chloride and glycinate) plus Vit C (4-5 grams) to tackle the free bromine and remove it quickly.
Some of my family members are also increasing their iodine doses. They are also having symptoms of bromine detox. Free bromine is very caustic and will burn on the way out. This scares people and they blame the iodine for it when the iodine is purging the toxic substance. When bromine is stored in the tissues I think the body puts a little here and a little there, but once larger amounts go into circulation it can be uncomfortable. We've had burning throat (me, 3 days), burning eyes and fever, a couple have had itchy burning rashes, and one had boil like eruptions. ALL are symptoms of bromine toxicity (Materia Medica). Fortunately these don't last very long. Once the bromine is cleared so are the unpleasant effects (it may happen in waves). To reduce these, one can work up slowly and then back down to a maintenance dose when necessary.
The experiment continues.
