High iodine causes some people to go hypothyroid, or more hypothyroid than they were, as the body tries to defend against iodine toxicity. Some people go hyper. Some go hyper and then hypo. Some appear to have no effect. Some say they feel better short and long term with no ill effects. I don't understand why many people seem to think they need to OD on iodine in order go get a good supplmentation. The World Health Organization (WHO) toxic limit (for ongoing use?) is 1000 mcg (= 1 mg). Carol willis_protocols my article archives in Files, blog, Links, not a discussion group.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I thought the recommended amount was 30 mg every day for 3 mo. for saturation purposes. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 the insert recommends 50mg/day 2 tabs 2X a day for 3 months. I am on my 4th month. I still need 50mg.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 It's 50 mg for 3 months. I finished today. I think Carol needs to read `The Concept of Orthoiodosupplementation and Its Clinical Implications' since she doesn't understand what we are doing here. http://www.optimox.com/pics/Iodine/IOD-06/IOD_06.htm --- Hope <hope0073@...> wrote: > I thought the recommended amount was 30 mg every day > for 3 mo. for saturation purposes. > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I really haven't found this to be true! 50mg Iodoral/day produced many strange symptoms (for a few days I felt like toxins were being removed from my brain and hey that was weird), but I always had the feeling powerful healing was going on. Sometimes I was extremely tired but all the symptoms passed, not to return. Maybe it's like the homeopathic model of healing, where old symptoms return before another level of health can be attained. My experience tells me the old thinking on iodine is wrong. And return of hypothyroid symptoms and even elevated TSH don't mean we should lower the dose. It's the healing process at work. gracia "hope0073" <hope0073@...> wrote:> I have been taking about 30 mg of liquid iodine (Seadyne) for the> last > week.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 A kind soul sent me this recent editorial which confirms my own expeience: More about iodine Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, April, 2006 by Derrick Lonsdale Three articles appeared recently in The Original Internist (1-3) concerning clinical research with the use of iodine/iodide in megadoses. Our medical group, consisting of three MDs and one ND/Acupuncturist decided that we should try to find out whether any one of us was iodine-deficient. Our practice is in the Great Lakes region that was described as the " Goiter Belt " by Brownstein. (3) We therefore followed Brownstein's recommendation for the iodine/iodide loading test. Five individuals within our office took the test and, by the criteria outlined, we were all iodine-deficient. Three of us, two MDs and our Laboratory Director, then proceeded to take the 50 mg of Iodoral a day with the intention of repeating the iodine/iodide loading test after three months of treatment. After about six weeks of continuous treatment, I experienced dysphagia, resulting in lower chest pain on swallowing both food and fluids. This was particularly marked with hot fluids, a totally new experience for me. I told the Laboratory Director that I was going to discontinue taking the Iodoral since I had concluded that it was the potential cause. To my surprise, she told me that she had experienced exactly the same symptom and had also discontinued the treatment. The other two MDs who took the treatment did not experience this symptom. Some four weeks after discontinuation of the Iodoral, we both continue to experience the same kind of dysphagia, although it is much milder. We can only conclude that we experienced some esophagitis though this has not been proved by further study. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Check this website out. This helped me when nothing did. At first you will will worse then it will get better. http://www.healthy.net/scr/Column.aspx?Id=652 A wonderfully effective way to resolve your reflux and indigestion is the following (in mild or occasional cases, the DGL licorice for a few days may be all you need. For more severe cases, use the entire program below to restore healthy digestion). Improve your digestion by taking the proper enzymes (see below and the " Enzymes and digestive health " info sheet) and drink sips of warm liquids instead of cold while eating (cold temperatures inhibit digestive enzyme function). Long-term use of digestive enzymes can also dramatically improve your over-all health and well being! Avoid coffee, aspirin products, colas, and alcohol until your stomach heals and then use them in limited amounts. Take measures to heal up your stomach lining. Using DGL licorice (must be the DGL form as others can cause blood pressure problems-see below) can be powerfully effective in resolving your symptoms. Research shows that it is as effective as tagamet, but is healthy for you! Mastic gum 500 mg capsules two capsules twice a day for two months is also highly effective. Both of these can be used separately or together. As they help to heal the stomach instead of just masking symptoms, they may take 3-4 weeks to work in severe cases .You can use your antacids during that time if you want. In many patients, stomach infections (H. Pylori) can be a major cause of long-term indigestion. Most doctors treat this with Prilosec combined with 2-3 antibiotics used simultaneously! A better approach is to add Limonene (Heartburn Free by PhytoPharmica) 1 every other day for 20 days once your indigestion has settled down a bit with the licorice/mastic gum. It may initially aggravate reflux symptoms, but, by killing the infection, may give long-term relief after only one 10 capsule course! Similase(by Tyler) or Complete GEST Enzymes (Enzymatic Therapy) – 2 capsules with each meal to help digest your food properly and drink warm liquids with meals. If the enzymes are irritating to the stomach, switch to Similase GS and wait till your stomach feels better on # 2 & 3 below before resuming the other enzymes. DGL Licorice – 380mg (not the sugar free one) from Enzymatic Therapy or Rhizinate from PhytoPharmica. Chew 2 tablets 20 minutes before meals. Mastic Gum (any brand) – 1000mg twice a day for 2 months – then as needed. Heartburn Free – (Enzymatic Therapy). 1 every other day for 20 days (may initially aggravate reflux, but can give long term relief. > > Someone may have mentioned this somewhere else, if so, my apologies for the > repetition. > A couple weeks ago, Ivo recommended the book on stomach acid and why it's > important > (btw, THANK YOU Ivo).

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Yes, all this is true, Ariel. What people usually need is digestive enzymes and sometimes HC acid. There are many reasons why people may not be seeing the results they are hoping for with the iodine protocol. One may be, unrealistically high hopes. Among the many reasons can be digestive issues. For sure, Zantec and the like usually are harming people. As you say, indigestion is almost always a result of too little stomach acid. Another way public health is not served by Pharma. -- At 05:19 PM 6/17/2011, you wrote: >Someone may have mentioned this somewhere else, if so, my apologies for >the repetition. >A couple weeks ago, Ivo recommended the book on stomach acid and why it's >important >(btw, THANK YOU Ivo).
