Iodine, Bromine and Soy article

Do you think you can offset the bromide problem by taking iodine?  I am tempted to try it!  Tami

pip, I would be seriously surprised if your onc knows much about iodine or would be supportive of taking amounts sufficient to detox bromine. 

I've been subscribing to the iodine yahoo group for a couple of years now.  I've been supplementing with iodine for over a year now.  I took my 2nd iodine loading test and my first bromine test last month.  Even after all this time, I'm walking around with toxic levels of bromine.   I loved mt dew when I was a kid. I wonder if I'm still carrying some of it with me decades later.  

The main thing to know about supplementing with iodine is to follow the 'protocol' which is a number of supplements to take with it -- vitamin C, selenium, magnesium.  Also, the bromine causes ill effects as it makes its way to the exit, and unrefined salt will help it along.

pip, at least canada had the good sense to ban brominated flour products already.  If you join the iodine group, you'll see lots of emails.  It can be overwhelming, but most of the people posting have health challenges and they're finding their way back to health without, or often in spite of, the advice of medical doctors.  I had a doctor chastise me once for 'self diagnosing and self medicating'.  I had the AUDACITY to put a pinch of cardamom in my morning drink in the hope of easing nausea, and I drank, sharp intake of breath, green tea!  with ginseng!  Most doctors are clueless about supplements because that topic is absent from their education.
