Just want to say hi

[Guest guest]

I'm Lynn and Madeleen told me about this group. I've been using

iodoral and lugols (painting with it off) and on for about 6 months

now.

I finally did a loading test about a month ago from Flechas's office.

(yet to recieve my results so I'm fearing they've been lost and need

to call his office)

I did fine on the lower doses of iodine but had slightly sluggish

bowels (lower doses being 1 iodoral)> After the loading test I assumed

my need would be higher so I upped it to 2 iodorals and my bowels

slowed down considerably then stopped working. I didn't associate this

with the iodine until a few other people also mentioned having this

problem.

I stopped all iodine about 3 weeks ago and within the last few days

have finally begun to get my bowels back on track. Today I added 1

drop of lugols in apple cider vinegar as Jarvis recommended in his old

book Vermont Folk Remedies. http://jcrow.com/iodine.html

Can't figure out why some people experience way better bowels and

others have this problem. Some suggestions from others and my own

thoughts are:

-killing off bowel bacteria

-detox from bromide stressing the liver too much

-inactivating the estrogen intestinal receptors (or rather there's no

estrodiol available for them)

- throwing off other mineral balances

I really don't know. I lean away from it being intense detox as I had

no symptoms of detox and felt fabulous.

It is looking like fluoride, chlorine, and bromine are able to attach

before iodine so getting these out of the diet and enviroment is

important. Fluoride is the hard one since it's in almost all city

water supplies. I use glass bottled spring water but I think a good

deal of the fluoride is transdermal. So far I've not found a

reasonable way to filter it out.

Anyway...there's a long introduction to where I'm presently at with

iodine. I would like to post this group to a couple other sites if

you, Zoe, don't mind. We've had a long discussion on iodine on a

weston price group I'm on so I'm sure there will be interest.

Bye

Lynn, welcome to the group! We're glad you are here.

Thanks for the Jarvis link. The drop of Lugols in apple cider vinegar sounds interesting. Do you know of a good source for Lugol's?

I find your comments on the bowel effects of iodine very interesting. Do you know of anything that has been written on this?

It would be wonderful if you mentioned this site anywhere you think people might be interested.

I'd be interested in reading the iodine discussion on the WAPF group. Which group is it? I just wrote WAPF last night with some iodine questions. I'm hoping they'll do an Iodine article in the not too distant future.

Zoe,

You can order Lugols from the jcrow site. That's where

I get mine.

The bowel problem is an enigma. One other possible

problem someone mentioned is that the iodine dried out

her mucous membranes. She thinks it did a similar

thing to the bowels. I don't know either on that one.

Personally I didn't find any problem with dry eyes or

any other mucous membranes. If anything it seemed to

be the opposite...which is what I've read.

The Weston Price Foundation does want to do an article

but at this point I think we still need more

information about exactly what it's doing. That's one

reason I joined pronto here.

The iodine was discussed on our chapterleaders group

which is searchable even if you're not a member. (I'm

a chapterleader in Atlanta and the one who brought up

the I questions in that discussion group)

To see the posts on it go to http://onibasu.com/ and

scroll down to the search box. Under it check

WAPFchapterleaders. Put iodine into the search box and

you'll bring up a ton of threads on the discussion.

I'm posting the link to this group on a couple of the

WAPF sites because iodine continues to be discussed

big time. Maybe we can come to some consensus on it!!!

Thanks so much for starting this~!!!!

Lynn
