Hi Bex, thanks for the link. I have had the same probs with iodine in the past but now i can take 8 drops with no probs.
Maybe lower it to 2 drops for a few weeks because if you are getting that reaction your taking too much.
That site you mentioned is very informative, we all need iodine, plus as it says mercury and other heavy metals are always with us and always will be in our life time so really if everyone here has been affected by metals then chelation should never stop as we cant excrete mercury as well as others, otherwise the mercury may build up again. Im planning to keep taking ALA, even if i miraculously get better tommorow. Dawn
