That is only your opinion, Sean. I think it is best to start slow and see what happens.

Maybe the recommended allowance for a women should be higher. Iodine is one of the best defenses against breast cancer which is on the rise.

If someone is getting a severe reaction to iodine, then you need to evaluate your diet and environment for major sources of exposure. Do you still have amalgam in your mouth somewhere? Are you drinking Mt. Dew, gatorade, energy sodas etc. You are also exposed to bromide as a flame retardant, cleaning agent in hot tubs and many many many other things. Bromide is found in most flours and breads. Do you use fluoridated water, toothpaste? Are you drinking and showering in chlorinated water? All of these exposures will cause more problems!

I used iodine WITH all 8 amalgams in my mouth. I don't think I stress that point enough! I didn't know any better back then and certainly never heard of Dr. Cutler!

There are plenty of women who have beaten thyroid cancer or reversed a thyroid condition with large doses of iodine. That one doctor did a study on how many toxins are eliminated through your urine and it is absolutely unbelievable. These people were excreting bromide and fluoride after 3 months worth of 3 iodoral tabs/day. Obviously we don't know their diets or their exposures, but it certainly suggests that it was coming out of areas other than their thyroid.

Read this and look at the table on page 3.

No I don't have Mercury in my mouth anymore, I don't use the toothaste nor drink the water with Fluoride in it, I do drink Gatorade though and I noticed you put that on there, whats the deal with that if you can explain? I don't agree on single minerals in high doses for a long time as that can throw off mineral balances in your body, deplete one or excrete another in competition over time, thats a fact on alot of minerals. I know too much Iodine can be bad for the thyroid and too little as well, a fine balance would be key in a whole food IMO. If you do a detox thats fine IMO, but how long and at what rate? All questions, just listen to your body and make sure you are taking it slow as you said and not causing too rapid a detox which us already toxic people might not be able to handle. I am interested on the think you said about the soft drinks though and Gatorade, that sounds interesting to me. I do shower in regualar water, but I can't be perfect and still have to live a life in some ways. I know we are getting toxins everyday and thats a given in this society, eating better and trying to eliminate bad thing after bad thing if you can seem to be key.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
