Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 > My questions:> 1. does the iodine pushing the bromine out too quickly cause kidney> damage? My guess is that there is no damage but if her kidney function has issues then the bromide / toxins (because remember iodine also moves mercury) may be getting stuck in the kidney. There are products like Metagenics Ultra Clear Plus pH that work to detoxify the liver and kidney (can get it at www.illnessisoptional.com ). My guess is that is what is causing the issue. If the liver struggles the same thing occurs and then the toxins get released back into the blood stream to wreak havoc. > 2. does this mean that people esp. old ones with heart trouble can not> tolerate the detox symptoms from iodine supplementation? Again I am guessing that the iodine is speeding up the metabolism and causing the adrenals to stress. Make sure she is getting natural / unrefined sea salt (see salt protocol) and the supporting nutrients. See www.breastcancerchoices.org for the iodine nutrients. > 3. would smaller doses of iodine with frequent breaks reduce this and> allow her to safely gain the benefits of iodine? Smaller doses at first will not hurt to try. You can take breaks. I know my Dr. takes it Mon thru Sat and takes Sunday off. > > Thanks for any insight provided.> > Karima> > > > Send Message: iodine > > Iodine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first i have heard of her having kidney trouble, but, she does have heart issues and they go together when the circulation backs up.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 >> Don't discount the possibility of Alzheimer's sure sounds like classic symptoms to me.> There are simple tests that will shed some light on this matter.> zoe On B-12 I had listened to a CD from a health conference (from WAPF, don't remember what year but I know Dr. Brownstein spoke at the same conference) before and Dr. Dommisse spoke about the relationship between B-12 and Alzeimer's. He also spoke about iodine helping. "According to Dr. Dommisse, an expert in B12 deficiency, the acceptance of high levels as normal in Japan, and the willingness to readily treat psychiatric symptoms with B12 explains the low rates of Alzheimer's dementia in that country--as well as the reason for the very high rates of Alzheimer's in the US. Researchers evaluated members of a family with a genetic predisposition towards Alzheimer's disease. They found that four out of six (67 percent) family members with confirmed Alzheimer's disease had abnormally low blood levels of vitamin B12, compared to one out of 12 (8 percent) who were at equal genetic risk for developing Alzheimer's but did not. The researchers speculated that a vitamin B12 deficiency could result in impaired methylation reactions in the central nervous system, a characteristic feature of Alzheimer's, as well as the possibility that the genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's may actually be related to a genetic impairment in the ability to absorb B12."

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 She has brain damage from surgery in the 40’s. It may be hard to tell the effects of that from Alzheimer's, but we can try the B12, I don’t think it would hurt.
