I agree. I have a whole host of symptoms off that one dose alone. Last night I couldn’t stay awake past 9:30. Just now, I woke up this morning feeling like a bag of bricks. Intermittent spells of dizziness, brain fog, muscle soreness, sweats. Luckily I don’t have a recurring viral infection that can be exacerbated by this that I know of. But I have had positive effect as well, like sudden bout of clarity here and there that I haven’t felt in a long time. So I can definitely tell I had a deficiency, but yeah, I mainly just fed critters yesterday.
In that case I would recommend using at last 80-100 mg for a start, if it will be better (I bet it will), reach 150 mg shortly.As my day continued, I had a pear, some water, breakfast and coffee and I noticed my metabolism is increased! This is just off one 12.8mg dose from yesterday afternoon! Iodine's positive effects carried to the next day and seemingly cut past the bromide detox symptoms which were non existent by noon today. This convinced me that I am without a doubt onto the right track and enthusiastically dosed 50mg (78 drops of Trophic). Immediately I had the fog, heaviness, dizziness, which was brought down with a tall glass of warm water and a spoon full of sea salt. Currently, I find when I'm stationed (sitting), the fog kinda creeps in and I get drowsy, but when I walk around and am upright, doing things and scuttling around I get a bursts of energy and clarity. I'll keep applying salt as my day progresses to combat the detox symptoms.
One question: is the protocol, with the co-factors, the same taking 2.50 mg of lugol than 50 mg? So far I took more than 20 drops of 2% lugol, always one drop. Low doses. In general it only makes me sleepy and with bad mood.
In that case I would recommend using at last 80-100 mg for a start, if it will be better (I bet it will), reach 150 mg shortly.
Today will be day 6 at 50mg. I don’t aim to bring that dose up. I’ll try to stay at this dose for the next 3 months. I don’t have bromine detox symptoms all that much anymore either.
I take a glass of water with Himalayan salt in the morning, and maybe another glass of sea salt in the early afternoon at work.
Another thing I a had on mind is training the legs. Since I do sports more regularly, including squats, my brain works much better. I read somewhere on the forum that they found a connection between leg musculature and cognitive ability.
Having witnessed several people, as well as myself, heal these issues there might be a few pointers for you in what I learned.I'm at day 10. Part of what convinced me to try this was two issues that are undiagnosed as I simply avoid the medical system in my country. I've long considered approaching a clinic and going down the road for treatment of these two symptom sets:
Issue 1: GERD Gastroesophageal reflux disease - Wikipedia
Issue 2: IBS Irritable bowel syndrome - Wikipedia
Again, I'm not diagnosed and it's speculative that I should have had any serious concerns with the above symptom sets, but the symptoms to IBS and GERD have become more prominent in the past few years to the point where I'm regularly missing work.
I figured since I'm 40 in 3 years and should try something whiles I'm still young and supple. So here I am at day 10 of 50mg iodine, and I can safely report that the symptoms for both the above issues have dissipated at this point.
Major kudos to all involved in this thread, as it's a trove of helpful data and testimonials.

GERD: The person who was diagnosed with this, by the Medical Professionals nearly puked himself to death.
Young male in his mid 20's, 6'4" and his weight was down to 135 pounds.
All the enamel on his teeth started to wear away, due to the constant regurgitation of acid.
Broken veins in his eyes from heaving so hard.
He was administered the strongest proton pump inhibitors.
He was prescribed antidepressants. Lots of those.
He was hospitalized, scoped and drugged.
Drugged with lots of chemicals to numb his brain, his organs and still, he puked.
Long story short, there were a lot of things that he had seen.
Awful things that he had heard.
All of these things did not fit with the Beautiful World view he had in his heart and soul, from the moment he was born.
Which lead to horrific disappointment in life.
He felt emotions deeply, and grieved wayyyy too much.
I helped him see that his deeply felt "instinctive senses" were just attempting to regurgitate a figurative lump of reality that he was "telling himself" was wrong......the old brain is very literal.
He realized that with all his being, he was refusing to "swallow" issues in life that he did NOT want to accept as reality.
Once he mentally accepted and reconciled his "wishful thinking" with "what is" the puking stopped.
Once his BRAIN got the message, the GERD completed and healed for good.

I see that you think or believe I struggle with wishful thinking. I can’t say it’s constructive as I always found wishes or hopes and prayers to be kinda lumped into this non-action category of being, even before the topic was brought up by the Cs.
Instead I prefer embodiment and to push ahead by embodying aspects that I believe are part of who I am that leads to results and have demonstrated this method to where I am today. I can’t say I’m particularly fond of the idea of trying to prove that to you in this forum either.
[...] so I can tell it has more to do with diet. I just never realize then that I could be iodine deficient. It’s not a buzz worthy topic that fell into my peripheral until the Cs pointed it out.
Edit: also I think part of what caused the gerd symptoms was my posture and how I held my abs. I’ve done it for decades: not letting my gut hang out. I think this messed me up too, and since I stopped doing that and started exercising to shrink my gut I’ve been able to let my guttybits to relax and not be forced into my diaphragm.
so true. excuse my error!No, but ultravioletbed might.
I plan to use the sun, but the problem is that I am still waiting for it. I had a couple of sunny days in the end of March, but April so far is very cloudy.
The highlighted parts of your opening statement relate to the outer layer of brain control.
Emotions, beliefs, and conscious awareness have no control of the organs involved in GERD and IBS.
