Re: Re: All over body itching

I agree it is detoxing. Try taking a bath in dead sea salts (or if not available epsom salt) and hydrogen peroxide. One cup of each for a normal tub but if a bit jacuzzi tub then double it. Spend 20 mins in the water. Taking salt and Vit C interally will help as well.

He used a whole bag of Epsom salt in the tub, which didn't seem to help.  The salt & C hasn't helped either.  He's really miserable and I feel so responsible.    Thanks everyone for replying.  I feel a little better knowing it's 'normal.'

I'll suggest the hydrogen peroxide with the Epsom tonight.  He isn't far from the Atlantic ocean.  Would that be better than Epsom?How long should it continue if he stops the Iodoral?  Is 6.25 mg daily really enough to cause this drastic of a reaction?

If he is really toxic then yes. It could. How much Vit C are you taking? There is a product from HEEL that is a homeopathic that may help. My mom had terrible breast itching when detoxing on iodoral and she used it. It is called Histamine or Histaweg. Something like that. You can google Heel homeopathics and find it.

He's been taking 5-6000 mg of C.  I'll check Whole Foods and see if they carry that Heel Histamin.  I'm sure that's much healthier than the Benadryl he succumbed to.  Thank you!

This is great information, Gail.  Thank you.  I have him on B Complex and Grape Seed, but maybe I need to bump those up.Thanks again, everyone, for all of your support.    It feels a bit scary doing this, as every instinct says 'STOP TAKING THAT if it's making you feel worse'.

I had a similar reaction when I first started with Iodine. What I found

out is that the itching (particularly if there are hives) indicates that

there is too much histamine around - too much histamine means the body

is undermethylated. Supplements which support methylation and decrease

histamine help. Salt helps because it is a natural antihistamine.

Methylation support includes B vitamins, especially B3, B6, B12, Folic

Acid, SAMe. I also used Grape Seed Extract, Vitamin E and Digestive

Enzymes and stopped the Iodoral for a couple of weeks until I was sure

it had all cleared. I restarted more slowly and it was ok. A couple of

months after I was using a daily dose of Iodoral I had another itchy

has just cleared.

I am hoping for some advice for my daughter as i wait for lab results..she has hashi's...she takes armour thyroid and is now taking 50 mg of iodine (lugols)....her morning temperature is never over 97.2 or so...and that is an improvement from 96.5...she is not having any negative reactions to the iodine....should i just hold her at the 50 mg for a while or continue to increase the dose upward toward 100 mg..she is 17 years old and needs to loose some weight but cant seem to budge that at this time...any suggestions on iodine intake would be appreciated....i cannot get her doctor to increase armour dose so i may have to do that on my own but was hoping to not need to increase that by using the iodine plus other supps...thanks...DawnFrom: Engtovo <engtovo@...>Subject: Re: All over body itchingiodine Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 7:03 PM

The worst itching for me is always right before it starts to get better, if I stop the iodine or any other antifungal I am using it will subside but return the next time I go back to a higher dose of the antifungal, so I would not stop the iodine rather I would suffer through it for the few days it will take, or even increase the iodine and or add other antifungals and eat very low carb for a couple weeks until it passes. To stop taking what is killing the fungus will normally only delay the need to move through these die off symptoms later. If you can't get it under control now then eventually you will itch all over ALL the time until you think it is going to make you insane LOL and it may have made me insane no guarantees. I tried everything known to man for years to treat this before I knew it was a deep internal fungus issue even topical antifungals only irritate it more. The good news is, if you stick to your guns you should get through it in a couple weeks. It comes back easily though if you stop antifungals or eat a highly refined diet again. Unfortunately at times I am a slow learner and have been though this cycle many times lol

Yeah that's the kind of itching he has.  He tried the basil leaves last night and the Heel Allergy tablets.  Something allowed him to sleep finally.  Maybe it was the melatonin.  Thank you again for all advice and comments.

Wow, Engtovo, that sounds pretty awful and painful for you.  Have you ever tried regulating your diet by pH?  Acid vs. Alkaline Foods:http://www.thewolfeclinic.com/acidalkfoods.html

Thanks, !  He has been on high doses of C this whole time, 3000-5000 mg a day.  He's also been drinking kefir (for the probiotic value).  Would you recommend he cut that out, too?  He doesn't eat a lot of wheat, dairy or beer, but he hasn't been free of it either for a week.

Well, from an IgA point of view, kefir is just as reactive as milk is (at least

for me). It's hard to know what he's reacting to, IF he's reacting to

something. One thing you can do is have him not eat for awhile and

then take his pulse before and after a meal. If it goes up after a meal,

he is probably reacting to something in the food.

How does one get rid of IgA deposits?  Is that a permanent condition?~WOn Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 1:04 PM,

[Guest guest]

Take some sulpher or MSM. It helps with skin issues.

Jag--- On Wed, 7/1/09,

[Guest guest]

IgA is an immune globulin. When you are allergic to, say, dogs, you get IgE

produced, and it makes your eyes water and nose run, and also can

give you hives. When you eat something your body reacts to, IgA is produced

in your digestive tract, including in your mouth. It tends to give you things

like canker sores or IBS ... but it may not produce any symptoms at all.

However, sometimes it leaks from the gut into the blood and then

it can cause skin problems (also thyroid problems). The only way to

keep it from being produced is to avoid the offending food, and

to stop the leaky gut problems.

The IgA that is in the skin eventually goes away, or it did for me, but

I don't know how long that takes. I originally started researching iodine

because every time I ate shrimp or iodized salt my skin would itch ...

the iodine activated the IgA. But iodine doesn't affect my skin that

way at all. I was iodine-free for a few years though. THAT wasn't

a good idea either, I think. It is possible that the iodine makes the

deposits go away faster, but it could be darn uncomfortable. And if

the IgA is still being produced, I don't know that you can get

rid of it.

Have you tried eliminating gluten or are your gluten free already? It sounds like Dermatitis Herpetiformis. My daughter had this when we first took her off gluten. It is the IgA coming out through the skin. What helped her is Virgin Coconut Oil. I tried all kinds of creams and then finally in desperation tried it after 3 weeks of her itching.
