1. Ruthie

2. Age - 573. Austin, Texas4. Why I started using Iodine? I read Dr. Brownstein's books (Overcoming Arthritis, Overcoming Thyroid, The Miracle of Natural Hormones & Iodine book) after starting bio-Id hormones & thyroid hormone & realized that iodine is a very important component.5. What form I'm using? – Iodoral and Lugol's Iodine Solution6. Dosage—50 –100mg+ daily now, but was on a low dose for over a year (See below)7. Illnesses hoping to be made better – shrink fibroid tumors, cervical mass, ovarian tumor, endometriosis –also have a hysterectomy scheduled since my ovaries are nonfunctional from a tubal ligation, etc, low thyroid, arthritis problems (have had several total anklejoint replacement surgeries), chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, hair loss problem, high levels of toxic metals (mostly from mercury amalgams) etc.8. What help?—I am under the care of a wholistic MD, but am also self-treating with Lugol's iodine solution i.e. body painting right now…

9. Any questions for group members?—I would like to know what others' experiences have been with painting Lugol's iodine on the body.

The reason I'm asking about body painting with Lugol's iodine solution is because the greatest health improvements I've ever seen have happened after using Lugol's iodine solution, magnesium mineral and trace mineral complex oil, and organic apple cider vinegar (ACV) transdermally. I have also seen similar experiences with others (a friend's complete curing of gout, toenail fungus and foot problems that had been lingering for nearly ten years), but I've never been able to find much written about it.

I first started using Iodoral a year and a half ago when I also started to take Armour thyroid hormone. I started with 1 Iodoral tablet and then increased to 2 tablets. I continued to take 2 Iodoral tablets for 3 months, but quit due to uncomfortable detox type reactions and a sudden appearance of an abundance of moles on my skin which I now know may have been caused by the thyroid hormone. I don't know. Has anyone else ever experienced the appearance of an abundance of moles? The sudden appearance of moles may also have been due to uterine tumors? Bio-Id hormones such as estradiol (which I was on, but no more)? I don't know. I'm also concerned that the thyroid hormone and other bio-Id hormones may have increased growth of the tumors in my uterus; whereas, if I'd been on more iodine, that wouldn't have happened.

I now realize that I shouldn't have allowed the detoxification reactions I experienced when I first started taking Iodoral to cause me to reduce my dosage. I should have just begun other detoxification measures to further support my body to detoxify such as: drinking a glass of water with a ½ teaspoon of Celtic salt, drinking a glass w 1-2 tsp of organic, raw ACV w/ 1 tsp honey or drinking a glass of water with 1-2 tbsp liquid bentonite clay, etc. I should have continued to increase the iodine amounts gradually instead of just staying on 1 Iodoral tablet.

After a year and a half of using only 1 Iodoral (except for 3 months of 2 Iodoral tabs), I finally increased my iodine intake 1 1/2 months ago. Actually, I didn't even increase it that gradually. I take 2 Iodoral in the AM along vitamin C, herbs, glandulars, etc. Every time I drink water, which is 16 oz every 2-3 hours, I add ACV and 1-2 drops of Lugol's iodine solution to it—throughout the day, which adds up to 10-15 drops a day. I also take another Iodoral at noon. I paint Lugol's iodine solution on my body every other day in the areas of my lower abdomen, upper abdomen, upper chest, breasts, arms, legs, etc. On the days I paint, my body obviously takes in many more drops of Lugol's iodine solution.

At the end of the first 10 days I started this, I went into a heavy detoxification period. I stirred up lots of toxins, got a really bad headache, & had to fast for 3 days while drinking lots of water with AVC or with Celtic salt or bentonite clay. Having gone through high colonics a number of times in my life, I was even ready to do that, but I didn't have to—I began to feel much better and have since learned to pace my treatments better. After a month and a half of painting Lugol's on my body, it is still drinking up the Lugol's Iodine Solution within hours of painting it. I've learned over the years to just fast when my body starts to detoxify. I figure if I'm going to get better then it's going to take fasting and getting back my body's mineral balance, which is why I also rub magnesium mineral & trace mineral complex oil on my body 3-4 times a week. I also do the same with a solution of organic ACV (half water and half vinegar). I also drink aloe vera juice daily to reduce the possible problem of a caustic reaction from the Lugol's solution.

I'm not afraid of getting too much iodine; I've noticed too many improvements in my health for one. I've also read in several books and articles—some posted right here on this site, that the signs of too much iodine are obvious. I think the trick is distinguishing the difference between body detoxification and too much iodine in the body—plus, I also know I can do the iodine loading test if and when I feel the need.

Thanks to the person who posted the Vickery article!

Okay, Helen, it's your turn to tell your story J
