Re:Worth trying iodine for non-thyroid problems like insomnia, low ener

I'm male, 53, overweight, but no longer in poor shape after 8 years now of

dispensing with the common medical paradigm and embracing many alternatives

that turned my previously desparate plight around. I still have issues of

damage, however, and a constant issue is to keep up a high energy level.

I'll try not to wander too far off the topic of iodine here though.

One of the great eye-opening events of my life was a myelogram, an injection

of iodine based dye into the spine for a series of x-rays. That injection

chased the disease out of my body and to the skin where I could see what was

infecting me in all its hideous and disgusting incarnation. That was 2002,

and there was precious little info about iodine on any discussion groups at

the time. I have kept taking kelp and Lugol's for all that time.

Only recently have I had time to study these other forms of iodine such as

the various takes on Atomidine. I am now getting excited about this as a

(part of a) long term and simple treatment for my main problems- rheumatoid

arthritis and heart disease*.

I've already had great successes on those fronts but I just knew that

something was missing. It may be these other forms of iodine. I am presently

taking " Detoxified Iodine " http://www.iodinesource.com/Products.asp; I can

literally feel the energy surge from only 2 drops in a glass of water

(non-chlorinated!). The energy to me is so powerful that I had to stop

taking it 4-5 drops at a time as I did at first. The immediate sensation

lasts only a few minutes and the actual physical energy surge lasts a few

hours.

I just never had any idea at all that this would happen from iodine. Not

once until recently, in all my searchings and tryings, did I ever hear that

any form of iodine could do this. Maybe I just missed it. I know for sure

that kelp and Lugol's don't do what I'm experiencing.

So now I'm eagerly awaiting a bottle of Magnascent to see what it does for

me.

I'm hooked. Reel me in.

*About the RA and HD: I already do LOTS of things for those, far too many

things to mention here, but a great many of those things have been

wonderfully effective, and maybe that's why I feel what I feel from the

iodine. I can’t suggest that anyone else would feel this. But then, I've

been called " Mr. Sensitive " by some.

daddybob,

Since your dealing with heart disease and RA, you might want to look into

Nattokinase.

Briefly, our bodies make a substance called Fibrin. It is in our blood, mucous

and lymph.Normally, it just floats around in there, but when " triggered " , the

individual molecules of Fibrin bind together.In the blood and lymph, lack of

movement triggers it; thats why when they do a blood transfusion or you donate

plasma, they put the bag of blood on a little teeter-totter type mechanism, to

keep it moving so the fibrin won't bind to itself. Fibrin is a major component

of blood clots and scar tissue.Anyway, in blood, mucous and lymph, it is also

'triggered' by inflamation; to isolate the source/cause of said inflamation.

Our body also produces an enzyme, which, like a pac-man, eats up Fibrin, to keep

us from having too much.Unfortunately, as we get older, (and as a result of

diets deficient in fresh fruits/veggies) we continue to produce Fibrin, but our

production of this enzyme declines.Result is any inflamation results in

excessive Fibrin reaction, hence RA, Heart disease, pulmonary fibrosis,etc.If

taking it, should use with caution if also taking " Blood thinners " . Anyway, hope

this isn't too 'off-topic'.Also, something I've found very helpful; I have

fibromyalgia, and wondered how do you tell if you are experiancing a 'placebo

effect'? A placebo effect won't work long term. Otherwise, Dr.'s could proscribe

sugar pills for chronic pain, (such as fibromyalgia, Ra, etc). I have had

several instances when I took a supplement that seemed to relieve my symptoms,

for a couple of days, but then they returned.(Placebo effect).I also, when I

find something that seems to work, stop taking it to see if the symptoms

return.If I do several 'rounds', and find each time the symptoms are relieved by

taking, and return when I stop, and it works long term, I can be assured it is

NOT placebo. Jim
