Grizz,
I like that article of Dr.Derry's. It seems to one that would be good to spread on facebook and other social sites.
Derry. Iodine and the Breast -- Research

These two links seem to be the essential two to post.

Thats actually great! i simply quoted Dr. Davis. Seems he is held in some esteem since he is listed in your "much more" section. Any issues with his recommendations for dose of 500-1000mcg.....of which he states "A very easy way to get this dose of iodine is in the form of kelp tablets, i.e., dried seaweed, essentially mimicking the natural means of intake that also provides iodine in all its varied forms (iodide, sodium iodate, potassium iodide, potassium iodate, iodinated proteins, etc.) This has worked out well with no ill effects. " .....should likely be directed toward him, but thank you for asking my opinion Grizz.
I'll continue to do some of my own research though.
Peace Out.

I finally got around to questioning the man who suggests taking 100mg of iodine to start in order to minimize detox symptoms. He is far from a crackpot and is one of the list owners at Curzone. So what he says carries some weight.
Here is his response:

Trapper also promotes "Magnetized Iodine"

This is all counter intuitive and will take a great leap of faith for anyone new to iodine to try.
I'll post a message over there at Curzone to see how many newbees were successful starting with 100mg++ of iodine.
What do you guys think of this radical idea? Is it worth investigating? I know, it all sounds crazy.

You lost me at magnetised iodine sorry Grizz. Sounds like those fuel line magnets that make your car do 200mpg.
My internet order of iodoral, ATP cofactors and lugol's iodine arrived. Tomorrow I'll be on 50mg of iodoral. I have the 12.5mg version and the 50mg version just in case I'll need to pulse dose. Oh also got my sea salt, already had one salt loading... I like the taste of it! Will use sea salt to cook from now on. Still no detox, energy level is good. I'll paint lugol's iodine (I have the 2% version) on my neck before bed I know it'll disappear in the morning.
Liz,
We have a guinea pig to test Trappers Research that 100mg of iodoral to start has far less of detox Symptoms:
How do you know how much Iodoral to take? at Iodine Supplementation Support by VWT Team (MessageID: 1962284)
I have yet to be convinced, I will have to watch and see many more guinea pigs.

Since 50mg is working for me I'll keep this level for a while. I acutally could have taken 75mg in one day last weekend since the drops are hard to calculate and I simply loved how I felt with it... so I could had a 75mg day without realizing it. And I did have more brazilian nuts to go with it... Now that I have my iodoral I can be very accurate. 25mg in the morning, 25mg with lunch. If I continue to feel good with no obvious detox I may increase to 75mg. Acutally I do have other detox symptoms: yellowish urine and smelly sweat :P I'm actually glad since I know bad stuff is leaving my body. Had a minor headache for a day or so but I didn't mind it. Now about 5 days into this I think my body has got used to additional iodine in it and am happy about it. I guess after I read Dr. Brownstein's book on thyroid and iodine I may be ready to up the dosage. I ordered from his website but there was no express shipping... should have ordered from amazon.
Somehow I lost a post... but anyways, since I'm feeling well at 50mg I'll keep doing this for another week at least. I do have other detox symptoms: yellowish urine and stinky sweatWell I can tolerate them, and I know bad stuff are leaving my body, YAY!!! I think I may have had a 75mg day last weekend since the drops were hard to calculate and I loved my iodine! I did have more brazil nuts to go with it too. After I receive my Brownstein books I may feel ready to step up to 75mg. Tomorrow I'll do 25mg at breakfast, 25mg at lunch.

LOL! Back in the 60's, my Dad bought a used Chrysler Newport at the factory auction. After he sold it, the engineers came looking for it. My Dad played dumb about it even when they said they only wanted the spark plugs. He told the customer to watch the car. The customer reported extreme fuel efficiency and did not have to change the spark plugs for 100,000 miles. Obivously these were early prototype platinum tipped spark plugs. So this lends credence o some of those 'miracle auto parts' claims.
Meanwhile on the iodine front, since I have reached 50mgs with no serious detox issues, I have been thinking of jumping to 100 mg in a few steps.
And what is magnetized iodine?
