If iodine does open the third eye, then surgeons and people in the medical field should have their 3rd eye wide open because they use it on a constant basis for germs and scrubbing.
It really depends on your view point.

As I posted previously, there is an article that says table salt is not a good source for Iodine because of the processing it goes through. I use sea salt myself, which doesn't contain iodine.
You keep repeating that sea salt doesn't contain iodine which is 100% false. Sea salt has naturally occurring iodine, even though it may be at lower levels than table salt, it does contain iodine.
Sea salts if properly processed contain many other trace elements and minerals.

Actually, if the iodine disappears soon after applying it, it means you're deficient. It's when it stops absorbing that you need to stop.
From the published data, the skin iodine patch test is not a reliable method to assess whole body sufficiency for iodine. Many factors play a role in the disappearance of the yellow color of iodine from the surface of the skin. For example, if iodine is reduced to iodide by the skin, the yellow color of iodine will disappear because iodide is white. In order to regenerate iodine on the skin, one needs to apply an oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide, complicating the test further. The evaporation of iodine from the skin increases with increased ambient temperatures and decreased atmospheric pressure due to weather conditions and altitude. For example, the yellow color of iodine will disappear much faster in Denver, Colorado at 5,000 feet above sea level then Los Angeles, California at sea level, irrespective of the amount of bioavailable iodine.
