I tell you I feel awful!

If it's not migraine headaches, its the sweats! Im never

comfortable, is this a sign of hyperthyriodism? I lay in bed and

break out in a sweat so bad I soak my clothes, then the next minute

Im freezing, then the next IM boiling hot again sweating! I so hate

this! My boyfriend said he's never seen me like this! He said this

is so absolutely nuts, it's just getting worse and worse, pretty

soon, Im going to sweat myself to nothing! THis all can't be good!

not to mention the weight loss! Im shoveling food in constantly

tyring to keep from loosing but, Im bearly hanging on to my 105

weight now, last year at this time I was 145 Christmas I was 120 and

now 15 lbs less, when does it end?

Hi Kathleen,I did skim over the guide and remember reading that there are detox symptoms, but I never encountered a list of detox symptoms. I'll read it again as I must have overlooked it or zoned out. Thank you for your response. And I do appreciate the time and effort given to helping others.Sincerely,KateOn Feb 7, 2012, at 5:01 PM, Kathleen Blake wrote:

Hi Kate,

Did you read the Guide to Supplementing with Iodine that you were sent when you joined? If you didn’t save it, then please go to Files, then New Members Read First, then scroll down to The Guide to Supplementing with Iodine. A lot of time and energy has gone into that Guide, and you will learn much there. You will read how important it is to take the companion nutrients and why/how they work with iodine. You will also read about the Salt Loading Protocol which is very helpful in dealing with detox symptoms, which is what you are experiencing.

Again, read as much as you can in that Guide, and then feel free to ask questions. We are here to help!

Kind regards,

-Kathleen

I Feel Awful

I've been taking 2 drops of 5% Lugol's solution with 1/4 tsp of Real Salt in a glass of warm water in the morning and in the afternoon. At night, I take 1/4 - 1/2 tsp of Natural Calm. I've been doing this for about two weeks. I feel awful. I have no energy and my nose is constantly dripping without any sinus congestion. I don't know if I have a winter bug or if I'm doing something terribly wrong. I started the Lugol's, not to treat any ailments, but to develop optimum health. I haven't taken any of the other supplements listed in the protocol because I loathe taking supplements let alone medications. Will the supplementing I'm doing now make me feel this way initially or have I caught a bug? I thought I would continue this for a month or more before making any conclusions, good or bad, but I can't take this anymore.Sincerely,Kate

You may be missing some supporting nutrients too.

These are detox symptoms. Drop back to 1 drop each time and soak with the

smaller dose,

let your body acclimate before moving the dose up again. You really need the

other

companion nutrients to help your body optimize the iodine and deal with the

detox symtoms

better. But the fact that you are having such strong detox symptoms on such a

low dose

indicates that you have a VERY HIGH bromide toxic burden. You need to do this,

for sure.

Hi Kathleen, , ,I re-read the Guide to Supplementing with Iodine and now I remember reading the list of detox symptoms. I have felt so awful lately that I didn't remember reading it. I have definitely developed several of the symptoms. I was shocked just now when I re-read the list. So, I will reduce the dosage to 1 drop with ¼ tsp of Real Salt in a glass of water in the morning and in the afternoon, continue the Natural Calm, and add Selenium and Vitamin C. I look forward to feeling better soon. Thank you for your responses.Sincerely,Kate On Feb 7, 2012, at 7:29 PM, Baker wrote:
