Re: Bromide Detox?

[Guest guest]

I would get a better quality vitamin. Centrum is a "junkie" multi. Go to the healthfood store and pick up a good brand made from whole foods. Centrum is synthetic nutrients. Here are the ingredients:

INGREDIENTS:Dibasic Calcium Phosphate, Magnesium Oxide, Potassium Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Ascorbic Acid (Vit. C), Ferrous Fumarate, dl-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vit. E). Contains < 2% of: Acacia, Anhydrous Citric Acid, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Beta Carotene, Biotin, Boric Acid, BHT, Calcium Pantothenate, Calcium Stearate, Cholecalciferol (Vit. D), Chromium Picolinate, Corn Starch, Crospovidone, Cupric Sulfate, Cyanocobalamin (Vit. B12), dl-Alpha Tocopherol, FD & C Yellow 6 Aluminum Lake, Folic Acid, Gelatin, Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Hypromellose, Lutein, Lycopene, Maltodextrin, Manganese Sulfate, Medium-Chain Triglycerides, Modified Food Starch, Niacinamide, Nickelous Sulfate, Phytonadione (Vit. K), Polyethylene Glycol, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Potassium Iodide, Pregelatinized Corn Starch, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vit. B6), Riboflavin (Vit. B2), Silicon Dioxide, Sodium Ascorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Metavanadate, Sodium Molybdate, Sodium Selenate, Sorbic Acid, Stannous Chloride, Sucrose, Talc, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vit. B1), Titanium Dioxide, Tricalcium Phosphate, Vitamin A Acetate (Vit. A), Zinc Oxide. May also contain < 2%: Sodium Aluminum Silicate.

Compare that to the one I take which is from food sources http://bioticsresearch.dstweb.net/Files/Product2_409.pdf Your body knows what to do with that.

I am not sure what you have read on vit c and prostate but I disagree that it is harmful. It is actually protective. http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/short/301/1/52

This is a great vit c website http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/

My recommendation is what you are going to do. Take a break from the Iodoral and see what happens.

Bromide Detox?

This is my first post, so a little backstory. I am a 27 year old male, was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about a year ago and have been on various medications for that since (namely Synthroid/Cytomel), and recently diagnosed with hypogonadism. After getting no relief from meds I turned to various and came across this one, and after reading a great deal about Iodine deficiency and supplementation I purchased some Iodoral, 12.5mg tablets, and began taking them last week. A few days ago I began having a sore throat, which has gotten much worse. It is quite painful to swallow and/or eat or drink anything, and is strangely enough only on the left side of my throat. I went and saw my doctor and he "diagnosed" me with a sore/swollen throat essentially and prescribed me an antibiotic, but after being on it for the past 3 days with no relief at all I've begun suspecting that perhaps the Iodoral is the culprit, at least as far as the side effects it go. I am on the following medications and supplements: 125mcg Synthroid, 5mcg Cytomel, 25mg Methitest, Centrum multi, 1000mcg B12, 1000iu D3, 200mcg Selenium, 12.5mg Iodoral.So, my question is, has anyone else had a similar symptom when taking Iodoral? From what I've read, one of the symptoms (albeit uncommon) of bromide detox is "swollen glottis" or an odd swallowing sensation, though what I'm experiencing I would describe more as extreme discomfort than merely odd. I plan to stop taking the Iodoral for a few days, and just drank a 1/2 cup of warm water with 1/2 tsp of Celtic sea salt, is there anything else I should be taking or doing? Also, I realize that taking Vitamin C seems to really be recommended when supplementing with Iodine, but I've read too much information lately on the connection between Vit. C and the prostate to take anymore than I get in my daily diet (which isn't much).I appreciate any assistance anybody can provide, and am always open to suggestions or criticism. Thank you.-Shin

,Alberta and my sister are two people so far, that I know ofwho have bromide detox symptoms, they didn't realize it,(in my sisters case for 6 months w/out a liver cleanseeven under a doctors care), then went to other doctors,who put them on antibiotics, (in my sisters case for a monthat a time - two times) that didn't help.It appears to me that people are trying iodine without the properguidance or education, and making themselves sick becausethey don't even know it is due to the iodine. It happened to me too.I never imagined that my swollen ankle was due to a cloggedliver, until I went to an accupunturist & Chi Nei Tsang doctor,$200 later who both told me my liver was clogged.Then I knew to not be so cheap with the Ultra Clear.(I wasn't taking enough because it's expensive.)I feel this is a major problem.I feel that there should be more warnings on the "go to" websitesof ALL the symptoms of detox & more warnings of what willhappen if you don't take iodine the right way.Since I have seen this happen in three cases, actually,I can't help but think it happens a lot more often then this.Regards,AliOn Jun 26, 2009, at 9:51 AM, ladybugsandbees wrote:I would get a better quality vitamin.

Yeah sorry, running on information overload right now, I " meant " calcium and not

Vitamin C when mentioning the link between it and the prostate, sorry for any

confusion. That said, I have stopped it for now, but how long after symptoms

clear up should I start again, and should I expect the same thing to happen

again, should I just " push " through it? Thanks.

That's up to you. I am one to push it a bit and then back off. I call it pulse dosing. I do 5 days of higher dose and then 2 days off. It seems to get me over the humps.

I think that your Iodoral dose is too low. I think 50mg is a better

place to start.

Did you get any antibody tests to see if you have Hashimoto's Disease. Some

people with this have a lot of problems when taking iodine and can't use it at

all, some don't. Are you taking selenium with your iodine? That can help if you

have Hashi's.

It sounds like you are experiencing a detox reaction. I am sure the iodine can only assist as you are hypothyroid.

Shin,

I have experienced the same thing on the right side. In addition to the sore throat, I had an earache. It lasted three days. I had just increased my dose of Iodoral and the following day, woke with a serious earache and sore throat. I was very concerned about getting sick and missing work so I stayed down all weekend, drank lots of water, rested, ate light, and continued my supplements (including Iodoral because at the time I didn't make the connection). The morning of the 4th day, I woke up feeling fine. I thought that was weird because what kind of sore throat only lasts three days? Usually mine last three weeks!

I was talking to a naturopath about a work project and he said he's been working with iodine more with his patients. That led me to ask if any had ever experienced detox symptoms of sore throat and earache. He said 'yes', but not normally. Hummm.... He indicated that he would have recommended I take a couple days off and then resume the Iodoral but since I barrelled through it and felt fine, he saw no need for concern. Though, of course, he thinks I should become a patient.... If I had that kind of money, I would consider it.
