how to detox iodine?
-
I was pretty reckless before with supplementing, I remember drinking iodine at some point. That was a long time ago. But, I’m sure I’ve gotten a lot more with the iodized salt and iodine-rich foods over time. Anyways, I had an oligoscan done and the iodine is like off the charts. I notice when I drink milk, my thyroid gets sore. Is there a feasible way to fix this?
I’m hypothyroid so I’m not gonna be making good use of it. I suppose the accumulation will be more severe

It seems to provide some protection against thyroid damage, but it still doesn’t address the high iodine content in my body

Hi,
If it's still in the intestines, charcoal will chelate iodine. But it's probably too late.
Avoid processed food in general and specifically with seafood (< 50 mcg).
The overactive cells absorb most of the iodine in your bloodstream. Any excess amount will leave the body within a few weeks to months, according to the info I read.
Selenium 100 mcg is still useful as antioxidant (+ protective for thyroid).
Note: Iodine leaves the body in your urine in a few weeks to months. Small amounts of iodine can also leave your body in sweat (through exercise).For other readers; Remind that when you supplement with iodine, we take first selenium. We need staples 10-15 days with 200-250 mcg iodine to open the receptors., before taking a higher dose (12.5 mg), and see then how we react ...
