>>15096743The Concept of Orthoiodosupplementation and Its Clinical Implications
https://www.optimox.com/iodine-study-6In the early 00's, Dr. Guy Abraham prescribed his patients 50mg a day for 90 days and discovered the body retains 1,450mg-1,600mg of iodine:
Implementation of orthoiodosupplementation, based on the loading test, revealed that sufficiency was not achieved in some subjects even after two years of iodine supplementation at 1-2 tablets/day. To achieve sufficiency within three months, most subjects required 3-4 tablets/day (37.5-50 mg).
Based on calculations derived from the loading test, the retention of iodine by subjects on 50 mg/day for three months ranged from 1,450 to 1,600 mg elemental iodine. This amount was derived by subtracting the amount of iodide excreted from 50 mg prior to and monthly following supplementation. The mean daily amount retained was calculated by averaging. For example, a subject excreted 20 mg iodide/24-hour prior to supplementation and 45 mg after 90 days of supplementation. The amount retained would be:
Day 1 = 50-20 = 30 mg
Day 90 = 50-45 = 5 mg
Daily average = 30 + 5 / 2 = 17.5 mg/day
For 90 days = 17.5 mg/day x 90 days = 1575 mg
Iodine has a honeymoon period for some people and they may want to start with spaced doses of 1-2mg for the first few days. Selenium and salt water should be taken. In cases of heavy metal toxicity, magnesium, zinc, vitamin b2/b3/c and NAC are recommended.
