Bx of the release of a bromine load: 1) acne, boils, skin pustules, lesions supposedly heal well when dabbed with KI 2) dark mood, depression 3) body odor lasting ~2wks 4) smelly sediment-rich urine 5) metallic taste in the mouth 6) headaches 7) temporary hypothyroid condition (mobilized bromine is goitrogen)
support for minimizing side effects 1) magnesium supplmentation 2) hydration 3) dry skin brushing 4) pharm grade NaCl, 1/4 tsp each few hours, as Cl bumps Br out thru the kidneys faster (kosher could be OK but make sure it doesn't contain Prussian Blue/cyanide)
**Look up Guy E. Abraham, MD., ob and endocrinologist, supp company owner, has written on Iodine
