The only person that knows how to get you started properly is you. Even when we work with a doctor or other practitioner, we still need to be our own self-healing advocate if we’d really like to succeed.
But we’re all so much different that there is no single starting point. Even two people with the same body-type still lead different daily lives and have different adjustments to make.
Some of us do not yet realize the importance of what we’re going for here. This page may help put the situation into perspective whyiodine.com/start
There is really no easy way to cut this. We need to learn more about our environment and a handful of important nutrients.
Clean environment & diet
If we continue to absorb toxins with our skin, stomach, and lungs all day, we will never get ahead of the curve. Learn more about our common toxic exposures and ways to clean up out diet in The Detox Section
Increase unrefined salt intake
Quality salt is required for proper cell function. Learn more about salt at whyiodine.com/salt
Get more Magnesium
Iodine is going to allow our body to do a lot of stuff it’s likely been behind on for a while. Magnesium is involved in a large majority of these processes. Learn more about Magnesium at whyiodine.com/magnesium
Get Selenium, but not too much
Selenium is just as important as iodine for a lot of us, we just need to avoid taking it daily for extended periods of time without feeling our body do anything with it. Read more about selenium at whyiodine.com/selenium
Increase Vitamin C intake
As all of these nutrients help us catch up, vitamin C is needed in order to clean up the oxidative mess created. Learn more at whyiodine.com/vitamin-c
Start slow with iodine
Now that our body has access to a few important nutrients, small amounts of iodine should help us move forward.
By going slow we can always back off without having to wait long to level off again. Read about my experience here whyiodine.com/low-and-slow
Once we understand what we’re doing, we may be able to try larger amounts of iodine to see how it works for us.
The healing community commonly uses a form of iodine called Lugols. I have laid out the common brands people buy here whyiodine.com/iodine-buyers-guide and explain more about the different types of iodine here whyiodine.com/which-iodine
