Re: My symptoms have returned . . .

[Guest guest]

not sure, but some of my hypo symptoms returned for a while on Iodoral, then they disappeared. Kind of wierd. I have read that painful scalp is a vitamin D deficiency, so you might want to take high quality cod liver oil, like Carlson's.

Hi Everyone,I have fibrocystic breast disease, a painful scalp and what has been dx as eczema. I started using iodine in the form of kelp drops. All of the above symptoms left within 48 hours when I used it liberally on my face and scalp.I switched to four tablets of Iodoral a day and to using Lugol on my face and scalp. All of my symptoms have returned. Any thoughts as to what has happened? Orelindel

Two possibilities:

1. Kelp has other stuff in it besides iodine

2. Some other factor in your life has changed.

I do know that #1 is true. Kelp has LOTS of stuff in it, not just iodine.

Potentially one of those things helped.

#2 I don't know ... nor do most people, unless they keep a journal.

It's really easy to overlook something simple ... like, changing

soaps or handcreams, or eating more bagels that day.

Your return of symptoms is very interesting. I think I'll finish out this bottle

of

Iodoral.

My face/scalp/breast always ache at the same time. I could never figure that

out. It wasn't until I saw a testimonial of Dr. Flechas's web site about a woman

who has hypothyroidism and a painful scalp that it clicked. Iodine appears to

be part of the answer.

But I will experiment with CLO. I take Nordic Naturals and spend a fair amount

of time in the sun. I'll switch and spend more time to see what happens.

Thank you!!

Last week was different. My hours were different, there was much more stress

and I ate more sweets than usual. I will keep a journal to see if something

else could have caused this. My iodine loading test won't be here until

August. There machine was broken and they are way behind. Thanks for your

input!!

Fascinating, Orelindel. I hope you'll keep us posted on anything else you discover about this.

I assume you were using the kelp drops and the Lugol's in the same way.

As an experiment, I would love for you to go back and forth between the kelp drops and the Lugol's painted on your face and scalp, maybe switching every week or so. See if the symptoms continue to come and go in the same pattern.

I also had a return of hypo symtoms after being on iodine for a few

weeks. It lasted up to 2 weeks then I went back to feeling good.

I'm using is different was that when I started on the kelp I wasn't

using selenium. I started that when I started on Iodoral. I'll

certainly keep you all posted.

This is like trying to solve a rubik's cube. : (

It's been about a week now. Hopefully, one week to go.

Oh, I forgot to mention that while I was at a meeting last week, I was

quite warm. I'm normally freezing. Throughout the meeting another lady

kept saying, " Can we down the air down. "

There were men in the room and they said that the temperature was quite

comfortable. My hands were warm. I can't remember ever being so warm. I

was so happy. I'm looking forward to reaching the tipping point again.

I typed this response in the library with my son at my elbow. It's

gibberish.

What I meant to say is:

I wasn't using selenium when I first started using the kelp drops.

When I switched to Iodoral tablets I started using using selenium.
