This is a process that is undertaken ONLY to help when the individual is feeling overloaded by the toxins being released from supplementing with iodine. It should be gray, red or black in color. Unrefined salt is also healing for the adrenals which can become stressed during detoxing. You will not experience hypertension or edema from a good unrefined salt.

Unrefined salt such as Celtic Salt contains a full spectrum of minerals. This is a toxic substance that has been cleaned by a brine containing chloride. You should not, under any circumstances, utilize table salt. There are two different times for using salt with iodine.ĭr Brownstein Recommends supplementing with 1-1.5 tsp of unrefined salt (Celtic or Himalayan) to assist in the removal of toxins released by iodine. Following Root Cause means you don’t need to take a multi-vitamin. However, Morley Robbins has formulated the Root Cause Protocol with the aim of avoiding iron, calcium, plant based Vitamin A, synthetic vitamin D, and synthetic vitamin C. STTM and Stephanie Buist recommend taking a good, food state multivitamin. The exact B2 and B3 formulas are combined and available online in one product as the ‘ATP Cofactors’. Take at breakfast and lunch as B-vitamins can be stimulating. Not Niacin because Niacinamide has fewer side effects, such as flushing. Too much Selenium is toxic so it is important to do a blood test (via blood draw) called Selenium RBC to determine your status: The Life Extension Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine version is preferred by many because it is suitable for people with the MTHFR gene mutation. Stephanie Buist recommends 200 to 400 mcg. Selenium supplementation is protective and prevents thyroid damage from iodine. Selenium deficiency is the underlying prerequisite for iodine induced thyroid damage in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. The Magnesium Advocacy Group on Facebook is a good place for advice: I take three capsules of Intelligent Labs MagEnhance before bed and I use 20 sprays of Better You Magnesium Oil at night to aid sleep. Stephanie Buist Recommends 200-400 mg magnesium oxide, magnesium glycinate, or magnesium citrate. I take one with breakfast, one mid-morning, one at lunch, one mid-afternoon, and one at dinner which is 1,000 mg of vitamin C but because it is from a wholefood source it is more bio-available for the body. Since reading Morley Robbins I feel it is better to use whole food vitamin C such as Acerola Cherry or Camu Camu powder or capsules and take them regularly through the day. You can follow this while you are detoxing and switch to the whole food C when you start your maintenance dose or just take the whole food vitamin C. Best taken 30 to 60 minutes away from Vitamin C – ie not at the same time.Ĭan be taken two to four weeks before starting Lugol’s to prepare the detox pathways.ĭr Brownstein recommends 3,000 to 6,000 mg of ascorbic acid per day.Take it in the morning as it can be stimulating so avoid it at night.Put your Lugol’s drops in a glass of water and drink it – don’t take it neat as it is caustic.After six months at 50mg take a 24 Hour Iodine Loading Test to check your levels of Iodine, Bromine, Chlorine, and Fluoride:.
