Have you read Dr. Brownstein's book, "Iodine, Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It"? www.drbrownstein.com It will answer many many questions. Michigangiulia <giuly09@...> wrote: Has anyone had any unwanted side effect taking Iodoral?Am still thinking you see lolGiulia

Hypothyroid or hyperthyroid can result from high iodine intake

in some persons. Or both in sequence. Or no apparent side

effects. Results are not predictable.

The hypothyroid is from the " Wolff-Chaikoff effect " , google for

more info. (Related to recent threads on TSH going high?)

Probably the body trying to protect itself against

excess iodine, a defense against catabolism or wasting

that would result from hyperthyroid.

My own experience is in Msg #2424 in the Iodine group msg archives.

See also Msg #2798.

The only thing I've experienced is a slight reddish pimpling on my

chest. This is likely due to the chelating effect of iodine, purging

the bromide, chloride & fluoride from the body.

Its severity will vary from person to person, depending on their

toxicity levels. If someone gets a severe rash, it's recommended to

back down on the iodine, let it subside & then ramp it back up again

gradually.

I didn't need to do that. The pimpling was mild. I also started at a

70% iodine saturation level, which is better than average from what

I've seen. I'd say the larger majority of people tend to average in

the <40% range.

Iodoral is a mineral/natural substance. I have found it is important to get the right dose and take enough. Meanwhile it is not without "effects". I felt it first in my head/brain and skin (acne like lesions!) and now feel it in my intestines and legs. I think it is healing from the head down and inside out. Really interesting stuff.

I have wanted to write about my experience for a while

now, but just now have had the time.

I recently ordered Iodoral from Dr.

Abraham with the intention of offering it on our website. I ordered the 50 mg caplets since he and

others seem to think that most people need 50 mg/day. I have felt for a while that I am hypo

so because of my rule to try all the products that I recommend, I tried Iodoral

for 10 days. I began with the full

50 mg and did this for five days. I felt very bad the whole time, had skin

eruptions and a light reddish rash on my face, depressed, considerable sneezing

and finally ended up with a sinus headache that was close to a migraine. And

this was after cutting back to 25 mg/day.

When I stopped, I immediately felt better. I understand completely about

detoxification (we offer a full detoxification protocol) and know all the signs

and symptoms but these didn’t seem to be getting better, but worse. I also know that at some point iodine

toxicity can enter into the picture.

I also ordered all of Dr. Brownstein’s books and have read most of

them. Because several of my

symptoms were in the range of iodine toxicity, I decided to stop.

I do believe that iodine can help people

and I have been extremely interested in what has been said and experienced

about cancer and iodine since I do a lot of nutritional balancing for

cancer. Plus, I am a colon cancer

survivor so my interest is probably higher than most natural health

practitioners.

I tell you all of this just to let you

know my experience. Also, maybe

some who are more knowledgeable may shed some light on the seemingly toxicity. I was a little concerned that Dr.

Brownstein doesn’t really offer too much information on toxicity in his

book and this may be because he doesn’t think that it happens very often—maybe

someone else knows his thoughts about this? Another thing—I have lived on the

Gulf Coast of Texas all my life, so possibly my iodine level is fine and I don’t

really need it.

Zoe has given me her permission to post

the following. I have 11 bottles of 50 mg Iodoral. I would like to sell these bottles to

those that really need it and know how to use it. However, I do not want to put this on

our website in this high mg amount for people to play around with. I am eventually going to offer Iodoral,

but in 12.5 mg tablets. The 50 mg

tablets are easy to cut in half but kind-of difficult to cut into fourths. There

are 30 tablets each 50 mg and I will sell them for $34.99/bottle with free

shipping to US addresses. You will

have to call the office at 1.866.618.2512 to order so that we can get your

information. We take all cc’s except AMEX and also money orders.

I appreciate this list, although, I must

admit that it sometimes makes my head spin. And my specialty is hormone balancing

for women!! The endocrine system is

very intricate and it is very difficult to get everything “just right.” But then, I think all of you know that.

Have a great day.

Were you also supplementing with Vitamin C, magnesium and selenium?

I wonder if that would have made a difference.

Also, I think it is at least possible that you could be allegic to

iodine. Dr. Brownstein says it is rare but does happen. Although my

symptoms were different than yours, I was not able to take any iodine

until I cleared iodine with NAET.

I see a chiropractor here locally in CA but there are NAET practitioners

all over. You can go to naet.com to find someone near you. Basically they

muscle test you to see if you are sensitive to a substance. Then you just

hold a vial of the stuff you are allergic to while they do the treatment.

In my case it is acupressure but it can also be acupuncture. Then you

avoid the substance for 25 hours. there is a bit more to it but that is

basically it.

Ok, that sounds like a lady that e-mailed me after her first treatment at Dr. B's office. I was wondering if it was the same thing. We have NAET near me too. It is quite expensive. But isn't everything. Did it help you? I hesitate because I don't want to try one more thing that doesn't work. KWIM?

Yes, it does sound very hoaxy to me too. A big money

maker from desperate people looking for help.

I've heard of this before, in fact I know someone who

did this, and it was total bull as far as he was

concerned. And he's a Cali guy, used to trying new and

different things, too, very open minded.

There are probably people who claim it worked for them

though. How, is beyond me, but if they're better,

great! I wouldn't try it myself though.

I have the Say Goodbye to Illness book along with the NAET Companion guide. I have not read either but I suspect that they will offer some insight when I do get to them. You can see a little here at www.naet.com

Yes it is helping. I was not able to take any form of iodine before and

now I can so that is good. It did take two sessions though to clear the

iodine. There are a lot of criticisms about NAET that it reduces your

body's reaction to things but doesn't address the underlying issues. I

don't really have an answer for that, just that it is nice to be feeling

better while I look at underlying issues. Also everyone's experience is

different so there really is no way of knowing what it will be for you

until you try. I haven't finished the basics yet so the jury is still out

for me but being able to take iodine is definitely a plus.

hi Loretta

I found your post very interesting. One thing I wondered is did you take 25mg 2X a day, or the full 50mg once a day? I felt the best on 25mg 2X a day. I really could not decrease the dose after 3 months and so am still taking 50mg after 10 months. Are you going to do the iodine loading test?

Not Loretta, but I tried the 8 drops all at once for a few days &

thought it was bothering my stomach, so I switched to 4 drops/2xday.

That's worked out better.

If you have a really sensitive stomach, or notice the taste of the

Lugol's too much, I can't see any reason why you couldn't split it

up into even 3 or 4 doses/day, if that was convenient for you.

I think divided doses helps supply the iodine to the body more

evenly, rather than having big ups/downs. Don't know how this

affects (or doesn't affect) the therapy, but it seems a more

moderate way to help keep the body in balance. My personal thoughts,

anyway...

What problems were you having with iodine that lead you to NAET?

Thanks much,

Sharon

[Guest guest]

Well, it would start with irritability, then anxiety and depression that

would get progressively worse. At 1/2 iodoral per day, it would start

after about a week and a half. When I took 2 iodoral per day it took

about 3 days to start. It also happened when I was taking rejuvedine, but

I don't remember how long it took. I would improve when I stopped the

iodine. After my NAET treatments, I started with 1/2 iodoral per

day and worked up to 2 iodoral per day which is what I am taking now. I

have been taking iodine for almost 2 months now without a problem.

I'm always curious about what can 'go wrong' when taking iodine since I

had problems too. I'm glad your solution worked for you - I hadn't

heard of NAET before. Did anyone ever try to explain your bad reaction?

It sounds like possibly adrenal stress to me.

Best wishes,

Sharon

[Guest guest]

Well, I am not sure what you mean by explain it to me. But when I

discussed it with my doctor he said he thought I was allergic to iodine

and suggested NAET. As far as adrenal stress, does iodine cause adrenal

stress? I must have missed that in the discussions. I have a lot of

unread. Anyway, if it was adrenal stress, then it isn't happening anymore

so I am glad about that.
