Yeah I agree it was a pretty unusual reaction. I took 1 tab of Iodoral and the hair loss started shortly after that. It was not diffuse hair loss either. It was alopecia areata where you lose circle or patches of hair. It was quite devastating to me and I am afraid to take iodine now. Having no hair on the left side of your head as a women is not very confidence boosting. haha Thankfully it all grew back but it was gone for over a year. I just don't want to have that happen again.

The more I read of people actually getting better are those who took DMPS orally or IV. If I took DMPS, I'd definitely try orally first and follow Cutler's frequent dose schedule taking it every 8 hours. IV's do scare me a little bit!
