Salt Loading Protocol
Besides companion nutrients, it is important to use the salt loading protocol to control detox symptoms. Be aware that 50 mg is a dose most of us did not start with, although a few did, in order to ease into detox. Most of us took our time to work up to that. You want to prepare yourself by doing the salt loading protocol BEFORE you take the iodine, and if you have symptoms, push the salt, i.e., repeat the salt loading with 1/2 teaspoon several times until you flush your body to get rid of the headache, or whatever. It would be helpful to go through and read the R, RN and
BSA posts.

William Shevin, MD, uses a specific protocol to clear bromide
detox symptoms if they occur while taking iodine.
Dr Shevin presented his* Salt Loading Protocol at the February
'07
Iodine conference:
* 1/4 teaspoon* salt dissolved in 1/2 cup warm water, then
followed immediately with 12-16
oz pure water.
* Repeat in 30-45 minutes if needed. May repeat again until
copious urination begins.
. * Observe subjective response (usually within several
hours).
*Celtic
Sea Salt is preferred. Be sure to ask your doctor before
implementing this or any medical strategy.
Iodine Investigation Project participants have found 1/2 teaspoon
salt dissolved in water works faster than the 1/4 teaspoon dose.

In my opinion your telling her of the salt-loading protocol was the best advice, based upon my own experiences with swelling.
I have swelled in the eyes, face, throat, hands, ankles, feet, um - I think everywhere! I have learned (at least for ME) that doing the salt-loading protocol works the best when I do it three times in a row, with 30 minutes between each of the three "pushes", using a 1/2 tsp of this brand of
Seasalt of which I find at my own local health food store.
I drink 16
ounces of fresh water after each push, instead of 12. And yes, I then eliminate quite well-thank-you-very-much, (out of "both exits") and the swelling reduces wonderfully!
I cannot say this will work as well for your sister, but it has worked quite well for me. If she's worried about the salt, she can (of course) try the 1/4 tsp first, with each "push", and 12
ounces of water instead of 16.
Everybody's body is different.
