Newbie question on iodine

February 4, 2009

I've started taking larger doses of iodine -- starting with about 20 mg

per day. I've noticed two symptoms, and I don't know if they are

related to the iodine or not:

1. I've been taking it at night, and I haven't been sleeping well at

all. Should I take it in the morning? Or is something else causing

the insomnia?

2. It seems to upset my stomach a bit. But I am not sure if it is the

iodine or one of the other 10,000 supplements I take, or a

combination. Does iodine have a tendency to upset the stomach?

I'm taking Iosol, which is a combination of elemental iodine and

potassium iodide. I plan on switching to iodorol when this stuff runs

out.

Sorry, don't know your name.

Yes, take the iodine in the am, preferably w/food. Are you taking the co-factors with it? Vit.c, mag. b-12(methyl), selenium(very important) and celtic sea salt(1/2 - 3/4 tsp. day)? Some people have reported upset stomach...the sea salt and vit. c will help.

You can find the info at:

Good luck. Come on over to the iodine group for lots of info.

Thanks for posting this Nonie. I had a good look at the Iodine section and got really excited as I believe I have started to exhibit a few of the Iodine related bromide symptoms. Including severe tingling in the hands and feet. I did increase Lugol's slowly, however apparently omitted a few of the important supplementations. I will give this a try and pulse dose my way up to 100mg as Tony suggests in his protocol.Thanks again, Eva.--- On Thu, 2/5/09, Nonie <nmsammy wrote:Nonie
