Hi birdlady,

Thanks for sharing the picture. I am very sad to see the loss of hair, but I am hoping that it will grow back in time (fully). And the bumps on the skin? I think I have heard iodine can cause that if in excess, but am not sure enough about it. I am really concerned about it now and not so keen on recommending iodine so readily....or at least not without some caution as to dose. I have never been on big doses, just diluted forms of lugol's OR kelp. Neither of which have caused problems, apart from increased detox symptoms.

Perhaps kelp is the safer way to go? My father takes it everyday and is fine. He's in his seventies and I've not heard many bad things about it. I am hoping it's ok, but again I guess caution is required for most things, even "healthY" stuff can be done in excess.
