Original Note:
The claim that iodine can “flush out” chemical toxins like fluoride, lead, mercury, and biological toxins is not well-supported by current scientific evidence. Patients considering iodine for detox purposes should consult their MD: Limited Evidence for Detox Claims: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-35/iodine https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/iodine-uses-and-risks https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/iodine-and-potassium-iodide-strong-iodine-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20062037 Risk: https://www.mountsinai.org/health-library/poison/iodine-poisoning
