At some point when the bromine levels feels lower could start lower salt IMO ... I don't know when exactly is that moment as everyone is individual with own levels and timing and depends how much iodine/day.
Oh you are already in big doses, you don't waste much time with it do you
I remember you warned about starting to smell bad from detoxing bromine. I noticed it today ... in my slippers. My feet don't stink (normally). Let's hope this doesn't get any worse.
If the wife ask a hazmat suit you know it`s then bad
In my view, with you taking nice amount of both salt and iodine daily the excretion of both fluoride and bromine is big. So before this started you had this in the other way basicly as fluoride and bromine increase iodine excretion....now you are doing it the other way and with strong way also eliminating fluoride and bromine out from system.
Quote:In numerous studies, iodine supplementation has been found to significantly increase urinary detoxification of both fluoride and bromide,5 thus taking a significant toxic load off the thyroid. In one study, only one day after supplementing with 50mg of iodine, urinary excretion of bromide increased by nearly 50% and fluoride by 78%.6, 7
How to Remove Thyroid- + Pineal-Damaging Fluoride with Iodine
Potassium bromine has been used as a sedative in medicine . Bromine was earlyed also added to petrol when lead was also used in petrol.
Then back in the 60s they added iodine to bread....then they stopped adding iodine and replased it with bromine
Seriously...You can't make this stuff up
Then there was and still is Brominated vegetable oil used Sports drinks and citrus-flavored sodas. Mountain Dew used it to year 2020....only after petition they removed it....it`s still probably use it other drinks.

Have you heard of brominated vegetable oil, or BVO? If you drink sports drinks like Gatorade or sodas like Mountain Dew, you might want to learn more about this controversial ingredient that’s used in American products but is banned in Japan and the European Union.
What is BVO?
BVO is a food additive made from vegetable oil with the chemical bromine bonded to the oil. It’s used in several popular sports drinks and sodas to keep the flavor well blended throughout the drink rather than floating to the top. It’s a controversial ingredient because bromine is used as a flame retardant, and because excessive consumption can cause some serious health effects.
Potential Health Effects of BVO
Most toxicology studies on BVO were conducted in the 1970s and ’80s on rats. All of the studies showed adverse effects. A 1970 UK study actually concluded “the high bromine levels found in the fat of tissues from UK children are due to the use of these compounds [brominated vegetable oils].”
A 1997 study documented a case in which a patient developed the condition of bromism from drinking at least two litres of cola every day. The patient complained of headache, fatigue, and memory loss. Neurological problems and a deteriorated nervous system eventually led to an inability to walk. This patient eventually needed hemodialysis, a treatment usually used for kidney failure.
BVO has been banned in the UK since 1970, later on in the EU, and most recently in Japan. Both the United States and Canada still approve this additive in our food. In countries where BVO is banned, natural hydrocolloids are used as a substitute.
Why is BVO in the News?
BVO has been used in soft drinks since 1931 – so why is it making headlines now? Much of the attention is due to an online petition on Change.org started by Mississippi teenager Sarah Kananagh, who was upset to find her favorite Orange Gatorade contained BVO. Sarah’s petition asking Gatorade to remove the ingredient got more than 200,000 signatures. On January 25, Gatorade announced that it would stop using BVO in its drinks, and said it was making the move in response to consumer demand.
What Drinks Contain BVO?
Gatorade may be moving to eliminate BVO, but you can still find it in many soft drinks, especially ones that are citrus flavored. It’s tricky to compile a complete list because there are so many generic brands whose ingredients are hard to track. Check the label of any soft drinks or sports drinks you’re thinking of buying to be sure.
Drinks Known to Contain BVO
Does your favorite drink contain the controversial ingredient BVO? Here is a list drinks that contain BVO currently available on the market.… and, until new versions hit the shelves, some flavors of Gatorade, including Orange.
- Amp Energy Drink
- Fanta
- Fresca
- Mountain Dew
- Powerade (some flavors, including Strawberry Lemonade)
- Squirt
- Sun Drop
- Sunkist Pineapple
The Bottom Line
This is just one more reason to avoid sodas and sports drinks, which are also full of sugar (or artificial sweeteners) and empty calories. If you stick to natural drinks like water, tea, or coffee, you don’t need to worry about the latest chemical ingredient scare.
