I believe the iodine may have triggered the autoimmune response in my body. But since I started taking the DMSA my hair is slowly growing back. Maybe I'll take another picture today and upload it. I like to keep a journal of my hair growth, so I can look back at this phase of my life.

The Salt loading really really helped. So I recommend doing them as described on that website. Just be careful with how much iodine you take! You don't want to get overwhelmed with detoxing symptoms.
