BTW to stay on topic, I had major endocrine disruption from Hymalayan salt (just used for cooking, not loading). My thyroid seemed to have gone crazy on it, I would had palpitations, anxiety, smelling sweating. I thought it could be from the Bromine in it.
- I think it most probably was. Those are all given as signs of bromine detoxing by iodine users
I've escaped palps, had really weird-smelling sweat for about a week (poor partner, confronted with my armpit while we were watching TV, "Does this smell like me? Does it?" "No, it STINKS!"), still getting the odd anx spike.
Also runny nose, stinky wee (one or two days of dark wee, definitely not dehydration), more Cherry Angiomas, heavy legs, occasionally urgent bathroom visits, some headaches and nausea, zits, all standard detox stuff.
Worth knowing that iodine also pulls out other nasties like mercury, lead, arsenic, and who's to say which of any of the detox signs are specifically to do with bromide? - Aside from an increase in Cherry Angiomas (followed by them shrinking, drying up and falling off), which are a listed sign of bromide being expelled through the skin, and possibly the dark/ brown urine, which has been reasonably positively ascribed to bromide leaving via the urinary tract by Dr Flechas tracing his son's brown sludge at the bottom of his 24 hour urine collection jar to his consumption of Mountain Dew drinks at school, the majority of side effects seem like fairly standard detox signs to me and I think they could be due to any number of different toxins coming out, helped along by the salt, My pee stank during chemo, which included a fluoride (flourouracil).
I don't think it's only other halides that get flushed out with Lugol's and salt.
Which is, of course, a good thing!
