Iodine therapy is not like other protocols, there is no set protocol as we take iodine for a variety of reasons
Supplemental doses of iodine/iodide may cause symptoms like runny nose, red eyes, increased salivation, sneezing, sinus headache, and metal taste in the mouth. This is called “iodism” and simply means that the dose is too high. Reduce the supplemental dose and the symptoms should disappear.
In addition, iodine supplementation can cause halides and toxic metals like mercury, lead and cadmium to be released from the body. During this process you may experience fatigue, muscle aches, fever, diarrhea, brain fog and other symptoms. These symptoms may be minimized by slowing down the detox process, by reducing the dose, by utilizing nutritional support, proper diet, and by increasing pure water intake.
Directions: Standard Use
- Drop 3 to 5 droplets into a quarter cup of water and drink it.
- Do this once in the morning and once in the early afternoon.
Do Not take iodine prior to going to sleep, iodine has a tendency to increase your energy and may make falling to sleep difficult. It is suggested to not take iodine if you plan to go to sleep within four hours.
Recommendations:
To replenish your body from Iodine deficiency, the average recommended dose is 5 to 10 drops in one-half glass of cold water; then repeated every two or three hours. When an intensive effect is desired 20 or more drops is suggested.
When you feel you want to increase the number of drops of iodine you consume in a day, please consider that frequent small doses are more effective than one large dose.
Your “dose” is dependent on "desired effect". One drop is recommended as a dietary supplement dosing. If additional energy is desired, take up to 5 drops daily. If dealing with a chronic health issue, take 5 drops three or four times a day.
Do not get confused with all the variation of directions... assess your needs and pay attention to YOUR response to dosing and adjust accordingly as you move forward.
