Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Steph--Bless you and thank you! All of the symptoms you mention I have and had for a very long time now. I have thought for quite somtime it might be thyroid related but whenever I took iodine I thought I was dying. Racing heart, heart palps, headache all the things you mention and I had no idea what to do about it? I have not gone to the doctor to be checked because to be honest I do not trust one word out of their mouths. I had a stroke 6 years ago and it was because my doctor kept saying it was nothing to worry about...no big thing. After 2 days in the hospital I finally had the stroke...totally unnecessary. I've had a terrible, rapid heart beat for years which caused hypertension which eventually caused the stroke. I am now 60 and have had the rapid heart beat since my 20s along with anxiety attacks, headaches and terrible PMS [my family has always thought I was the witch from hell]. Since the stroke I have continued to go downhill...it seems I just cannot feel good anymore no matter what I do. I had a terrible episode just last night...rapid heart beat and trembling...brain fog [can't think straight] and truly thought I was going to die.Anyway, I believe your site and this group will help me and I finally feel some hope especially after doing everything I can think of on my own to heal and nothing has seemed to help.Warm regards--SandyFrom: ladybugsandbees <ladybugsandbees@...>Subject: Re: Detoxing helliodine Date: Thursday, November 5, 2009, 10:02 AM More salt, vit c and magnesium can be helpful.

You may want to consider "pulse" dosing - 5 days on and 2 days off. Steph Detoxing hell I've been on 50mg Iodoral with all of the companion nutrients (including 1/2 tsp salt at mid-morning) now for a week.....and wow, the detox hit me hard yesterday. Splitting headache, brain fog, fatigue - basically just feeling like crap. Is it okay to take an additional 1/2 tsp salt in the afternoon? Or should I back down my Iodoral dosage, or pulse-dose?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009  ((((Sandy)))) I am so sorry. It is so unnecessary. Are you taking an magnesium? That helps with heart regulation. How about unrefined salt? That helps too. My guess is that you have adrenal issues as well. Probably thyroid. Have you had any of these tested? I have a resource for running your own labs (without a doctor) if you are interested in doing that let me know and I will point you in the direction.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi Steph,I agree that my adrenals must be really messed up as well as my thyroid. I do take magnesium, Liposomal Vit C [i make it myself], selenium, B-complex, kelp and turmeric. I do use Himalayan sea salt but not the way you described doing on your site for adrenals. I'm going to try that. I also make and drink kefir every day [i make green smoothies] and eat no sugar or sweets whatsoever and have cut way back on animal protein.I have not been tested so yes, please do send me the info about testing myself, it would be greatly appreciated.Sandy From: ladybugsandbees <ladybugsandbees@ sbcglobal. net>Subject: Re: Detoxing helliodinegroups (DOT) comDate: Thursday, November 5, 2009, 10:02 AM More salt, vit c and magnesium can be helpful.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi Sandy,I am so sorry to hear that!!! Another option is you might want to try doing a hair tissue mineral analysis through Analytical Research Labs to find out what is going on and what supplements you actually need for your current situation. I have found it invaluable for my health. I go through Dr (the one mentioned in previous posts re the Infrared saunas). You might want to email him first though and find out if they can help. I did that and I am very happy. His email is: Larry@... Eva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Thank you very much, Eva I appreciate your kindness. I have always wanted to have my hair tested and will consider having it done. Money is a big factor for me. I have no insurance though I do not even know if insurance would pay for these tests if I had it?I will email the Doctor and see about having the test done.Thank you so much for your concern.SandyFrom: Eva Klein-Otis <eklein.otis@...>Subject: Re: Detoxing helliodine Date: Thursday, November 5, 2009, 6:13 PM Hi Sandy,I am so sorry to hear that!!!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 You're welcome Sandy. I don't believe insurance covers it. I didn't have it covered when I did my first one when I was still living in the US. Outline your whole situation - your health issues as well as the money factor. I read on their website they tend to take everything into account. Take Care, Eva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi Sandy, I'm almost 60 myself (in December), so I appreciate the ravages of getting older. Have you tried taking potassium iodide by itself? From your description, it sounds like you are magnesium deficient. If I were you, I would also take herbs that are related to atherosclerosis (vasodilators): Black cohosh Chamomile CoQ10 (in sardines) Dandelion root Garlic Ginger root Ginkgo leaf Ginseng (Siberian) Gotu Kola Hawthorne berry & flower HMB Honeysuckle flower Kudzu root Magnesium Niacin NO BP drugs Olive leaf Peppermint Sage Sarsaparilla Selenium St. 's wort Suma root Yarrow If you are taking any drugs (and I hope you are not), don't take ginkgo biloba or ginger. Like you, I don't trust a word said by " doctors " . They are only useful for placing splints and removing bullets and similar tasks. They no nothing about internal medicine; we are on our own! from Israel > > From: ladybugsandbees <ladybugsandbees@...> > Subject: Re: Detoxing hell > iodine > Date: Thursday, November 5, 2009, 10:02 AM > > > > > > > >  > > > > > > > > > > > > > More salt, vit c > and magnesium can be helpful. Yes you want to do the salt loading protocol > found on either my site www.naturalthyroidc hoices.com or > www.breastcancercho ices.org  > If you continue to suffer for more than a couple of days back off on your > iodine. You may want to consider " pulse " dosing - 5 days on and 2 > days off. >  > Steph >  > > Detoxing hell > >  > > I've been on 50mg Iodoral with all of the companion nutrients (including > 1/2 tsp salt at mid-morning) now for a week.....and wow, the detox hit me hard > yesterday.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Sandy,Please look up nattokinase for preventing at least the bloodclot type of stroke. It was a food based fermented food in Japan eaten for hundreds of years and it actually reduces the blood clotting factors. I had 7 bloodclots in a year -5 while on daily aspirin and then surgery. But still had the last blood clot after the surgery. So 3 years of using nattokinase have had no more bloodclots but varicose veins are also gone. My chiropractor told me about nattokinase as is supplement and went thru 15 years of FDA review/research. I get the NSI brand from www.vitacost.com and told to take each 12 hours. Hope this helps. My doctor checked my blood clotting factors every 3 months and now am every 6 months. I still have thick blood so buy the highest strength natto.Pam On Thu, Nov 5, 2009 at 9:41 AM, Sandy <hollis302000@...> wrote: I had a stroke 6 years ago and it was because my doctor kept saying it was nothing to worry about...no big thing.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Thank you Pam--My stroke was caused by high blood pressure, my doctor never said anything about a clot though he did want me to take aspirin every day. Taking nattokinase is a very good idea and I'd rather take that than aspirin.I think it's great it is helping you so much. Thanks, Pam for this suggestion, I will order some because it cannot hurt.Sandy I had a stroke 6 years ago and it was because my doctor kept saying it was nothing to worry about...no big thing.
