Guest guest Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hi Lori, Welcome to Bee's group! I'm glad you found us. I'll let Bee answer your first question about thyroid medication. I wanted to comment on your nut allergy. My sister had the same problem, her throat would swell when she ate nuts and had to carry an epi-pen with her just in case. She really wanted to try Bee's program but was terrified of the coconut oil. What she did was she started at 1/8 tsp. of coconut oil. She took her first few doses with another responsible adult in the house in case she had problems. But to her surprise, she didn't have any! She is now able to eat 6 Tbsp. of coconut oil a day without any problems. I encourage to give it a try!

Since you've been on thyroid meds for about 6 years, it will only take 6 months after you are completely on this program. So you need to start getting re-tested in 1-2 months so you aren't on meds when your thyroid is trying to recover. That's how I lost my thyroid in 1987. You should start on this program before you are totally off cortisol. No one is allergic to coconut oil, but it provides so many health benefits it does create more healing and detoxifying reactions, so start with small amounts and slowly increase them so your reactions are more tolerable. Brain fog and light headedness are caused by toxins being released, and this program helps your body detoxify more efficiently.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 You are correct. Nascent / Magnascent Iodine is administered in microgram amounts. Iodoral and Lugol's are in MILLIgram amounts. The low dosages will not work to saturate the body (every gland and mucosal lining - as a matter of fact every cell uses iodine / iodide). Lugol's and Iodoral contain both Iodine and Iodide and the body's various parts need different forms. You will not have enough "power" with the Nascent / Magnascent iodine to detox halides which it seems we are all toxic in. Buist, ND HC Newbie question I just joined and was reading the FAQs sent by the moderator. Am I correct in understanding that Nascent Iodine and MagnaScent Iodine are no good for this protocol? Their web sites certainly imply that they are superior. If the answer is no good, I am guessing the Lugol's and Iodoral are the supplements of choice?deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
