Has any one else gained alot of weight while detoxing with iodine?

I've gained nearly 25 pounds. Any explanations or remedies? Thank you.

RESPONSE

Wow! Twenty-five pounds while detoxing. I strongly suggest you join the Yahoo Iodine Chat Group. This is a very active group and they have an extensve archive section.

If you type in "weight gain detox", I'm certain you'll be able to find other individuals who have experienced what you are going through.

I've seen some people gain a few pounds and then it comes off, but never the amount you gained.

This calls for you to connect with more experienced individuals who can guide you on this journey.

Let me know what happens. Good luck!

You maybe missing selenium. Iodine supplementation with a selenium deficency can cause hypythyroid
Fluoride Detox

When I first started increasing my iodine I lost weight and felt great. This lasted about 3 months.

Then as I started eliminating more toxins I started feeling worse and gaining weight.

I suspect I am detoxing fluoride right now, which may be the main culprit for my weight gain. I can 'feel it' coming out of my bones. I know this sounds strange, but I don't know how else to describe it. Perhaps my body can not eliminate it quickly enough, so surrounds it in fat.

I have been trying to increase my intake to boron, which supposedly helps you eliminate flouride from your body.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks for writing in. Please keep us posted.

I suspect once your body eliminates the bulk of the toxins, things will level out for you.

I lost weight when I started. Seemed like my muscle tone went away and I felt very slim and weak.
