Reduced craving for alcohol
Has anyone experienced reduction in alcohol cravings from
Iodine therapy? Against my good sense, I've been a moderate to heavy drinker for a while now. I go through periods of abstinence but always crave it. As an old bipolar friend once told me, "i've tried every mood stabilizer under the sun, but the only one that truly makes me feel normal is booze".
Since starting
Iodine and most notably with high doses, I don't want alcohol. I hope this lasts as I know it's terrible for me and of course, makes detox more difficult. I'm shocked that my detox hasn't been worse considering I've been a drinker and didn't do any type of cleanse before starting the
Iodine protocol.
Took 100 mg of
Lugol's today and 240 mg yesterday. Shockingly I had very little discomfort, less so than with the low doses as reported commonly on this forum. 240 seems a bit excessive at this point, so I decided to reduce to 100 and keep it there for a while. I'm so glad I took the leap to a high dosage, it's funny that I was deathly afraid of even taking 10 mg. Thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences and giving me the courage to go for it.
