I did the Barnes test this morning and it was 97.2 (after 10 minutes) - and that's after weeks of Iodine supplementation. I'll do 2 more mornings and get my average. I wonder how low it was before using Iodine, Yikes!
I do have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism probably caused by an Iodine deficiency.
I did the jump to 12.5 mg (5 drops) of Lugols 3 days ago and you were right, not only did my detox symptoms not get worse, I feel much better! Not as perfect as I did the first 2 days, but I'm so much better. Next week I plan to do another jump to 25 mg. and stay there fore a while and see if symptoms improve. If not...on to 50 mg.
Right after the jump my feet are no longer cold, I'm not as freezing in the morning and my energy level has increased already.
