What is your opinion on using Dr Brownstein’s iodine protocol to detox fluoride, chlorine and bromides?
I have no experience with this protocol and cannot comment. I recommend iodine paint as a form of testing and supplementing iodine in the initial stages of the GAPS Programme (please see other questions under THYROID). Later on, when seaweed is introduced it will supply iodine in a natural form. In order to use iodine properly the body needs many other nutrients, such as vitamins A, D, K, B group and other. The GAPS diet will remove nutritional deficiencies naturally through food, so iodine can be used by the body efficiently. At the same time under GAPS Nutritional Protocol the detoxification system in the body starts working again, so toxins such as fluoride, chlorine and bromides can be removed naturally and safely by your own body (without you having to figure out all the immense chemical complexities of how to do it).
