decision to go to 100mgs

I just moved it up to that about 2 weeks ago and haven't been consistent. I started supplementing with Iodine almost 2 years ago but had so many weird things happen (primarily total gut peristalsis shutdown) that I would get scared off.

(this is a bit long answer but maybe it will help)

Finally decided that I had to work with someone last year and went to Mark Starr as opposed to Flechas after reading Starr's book. He put me on 4 drops Lugols and thyroid supplements. My fibrocystic breasts went nuts and Iodine once again scared me. I also wasn't pleased with Starr so went back into my stalling to figure it out pattern.

(I'm also friends with Lynne Farrow and on her breast Cancer Forum although I've not had B.C. She continued to urge me to get back on Iodine and get my levels up)

So last summer I bit the bullet and made an appointment to see Flechas. Then my mom told me she had a thyroid growth so I gave her the appointment but went with her and sat in on her consult. I was totally impressed and immediately went on 50mgs iodoral which is what he put my mom on.

Then I made another appointment for her and me in Nov. In the meantime I was having total constipation that even enemas were futile with. I could do vit C and Mag in the multi-gram amounts and just have a little runny diarrhea. So I got off iodine and eventually my colon returned to it's semi-normal constipated state. In Nov when I finally saw Flechas he wasn't really helpful on the colon stuff and said he didn't see it that often and just use Mag and vit C. I was pretty frustrated with that answer so decided not to see him again......

In the meantime my breasts were still pretty horrible so I experimented with 50 mgs off and on, switching to a ton of seaweed etc, Still having breast pains and I knew all this was keeping me at high risk for breast cancer. Finally decided to bite the bullet and just do 50mgs come hell or high water with my colon after Lynne Farrow went to the iodine conference and heard about mercury detoxing and possibly shutting down the gut neurotransmitters. (I'd already pre-conference decided neurotransmitter shutdown was the root of the constipation)

SO...went back on 50 for the last month and have been doing coffee enemas twice a day whenever I can but at least once a day. if I skip days I feel poorly.
Two weeks ago I decided to try 75 to see and accidently did 100. My face broke out within an hour and I got canker sores quickly in my mouth. Hmmmm ....detox big time!
So I've stayed on it and my colon has been far more responsive now to the pressure of water from the enemas than ever before. Something happening that's for sure. I'm feeling better except for detoxing times than I've felt in years.

So that's the long and short of how I got to 100.
I hope all this helps...
