I had the horrible headache, until I cut back from 2 a day to one every other day, and I had shortness of breath, and very sore around chest area, mostly the bone area and it would hurt sometimes when I took a deep breath. I take 1/2 tspn of himalayan or celtic Sea Salt in a cup of water and follow it with another cup of osmosis purified water. I heat the water up for the salt to dissolve. I don't mind taking the salt. I think my body craves it. I've read that many people who have had mercury toxicity from silver fillings can show very high in calcium and magnesium but low in sodium and potassium. So I can take the salt a few or more times a day like that with no problem. But for some reason I still need to slowly build up the iodoral
and I don't like to stress my body too much. As the macrobiotic thinking usually encourages people to slowly detoxify to avoid any damaging effects. However they also encourage the use of sea vegetables like wakame, kombu-kelp, arame etc.. instead of taking iodine.
