Answer 1

Goiter can be a sign of iodine toxicity. You may also experience chronic fatigue, forgetfulness, lack of interest in sex, impotence, overweight, and irritability.

It does NOT cleanse your system Whomever told you that was out to get money off you.

Answer 2

Hi
The only thing you want to take to cleanse your system is good old H2O (water) - and you can even OD on that if you try hard enough. Don't take other stuff that your doctor doesn't know about unless you have confirmed medical situation and are under doctor's care.

The iodine you are taking is likely being wasted (out your urine) because your body only needs a very little amount and you are getting that from your diet (assuming you eat a reasonably balanced diet).

Stop wasting your dough. If you think that you may be a little short on one vitamin or another take a multivitamin once or twice a week. More often (unless you have a medical condition or are starving yourself) is probably too much and is a waste.

You don't say how big those pills are but I suspect that 2 taken daily are not dangerous by themselves. Iodine is reactive though so it may interfere with other meds that you may have to take and with proper adsorption of nutrients by your body from your food.

In short, check with your doctor before starting ANY supplements or over the counter pills no matter what the reason for taking them. Some herbal meds are actually dangerous - especially when combined.

Be safe, check it out with a professional and don't believe the hype from your friends or articles in mags!

Any help?

Answer 3

it depends on the kind of iodine if it is potassium iodine stop taking it it should only be taken in case of a nuclear or radiation accident because it protects ur tyroid

Excess iodine has symptoms similar to those of iodine deficiency. Commonly encountered symptoms are abnormal growth of the thyroid gland and disorders in functioning and growth of the organism as a whole. Elemental iodine, I2, is deadly poison if taken in larger amounts; if 2-3 grams of it is consumed, it is fatal to humans. Iodides are similar in toxicity to bromides.

iodine by itself doesn't clean ur system any way so don't take it no matter what try cranberry juice hope it helps!!
