Janette (Sydney, Australia) on 12/27/2009
I took Alprim a well-known drug for urinary tract infection which occurred due to food poisoning, my body unbalanced with the sulphur content of this drug, giving me stinging eyes, headache, over active thyroid and pains in my body....too much acid forming.
I took a teaspoon of organic kelp iodine, within 5 minutes the pains in my body near my neck and shoulder went, the heaviness left my head, it felt like the fluid in the brain begin to flow (odd but yes), my eyes slowly began to loose the sting although it took a day.
I have heard Iodine is great for getting rid of sulphur burps as well.
Anyone had this type of experience?

To Janette from Sydney Australia, thank you so much for the information of "Iodine balances sulphur overload".I had built my intake of DMSO up to 20 drops in a glass of water each day and then suddenly broke out in hives on my arms and legs. It took me a while to make the connection of the DMSO and hives.
After reading your comment I commenced 1 drop per day of 3% w/w Molecular Iodine Colloid each morning. The hives slowly started subsiding over the following week so I stopped taking the Iodine for 1week to check that it was the Iodine that was helping, and the hives appeared to get a little worse.
I then continued with the 1 drop per day supplementation over some weeks until all hives had disappeared.
