Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 I hope this is not considered to be off topic. I have some dark skin areas both under and up along along the nose side of both eyes. The problem was noticed well before I began taking Iodoral. Could this darkened skin be a symptom of hypothyroidism, or is it more likely to be an indicator of some other underlying problem or deficiency?

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 It seems that several of my symptoms could point to under-performing adrenals. Does Iodine help here as well, or do I perhaps need to consider something else? > > It might indicate adrenal issues. > > Deborah > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hi, I'm no expert as I'm relatively new to this, but also have hypothyroid and hypoadrenal. I started with Lugol's plus the supplements before I discovered that some consider it best to start restoring the adrenals for a few weeks before moving on to the thyroid treatment. But I didn't because I didn't know and am now treating both simultaneously and feel better than I have for a long time. Whichever way, it is important to take the companion supplements with iodine. > > > > It might indicate adrenal issues. > > > > Deborah > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thank you ! I'm seeing a doctor on January 8th, and I will try to remember this so I can mention it to him. > > > > I hope this is not considered to be off topic.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Is your water fluoridated, toothpaste, fluoride in drugs etc... It can be a sign of fluorides, and fluoride collects in and affects the pineal gland. Bruce ----- Original Message ----- From: lsayre@... Thank you !

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 For water we have a well which we use only to shower, flush the toilets, and wash clothes (we drink only bottled RO water), and we use unfluorinated toothpaste, so there are no fluorides to contend with in our house. However, years ago I used to work as a chemical lab analyst for a major Hydrofluoric Acid producer, and I was severely burned by anhydrous HF on my left arm, so I'm probably loaded with it beyond what any of you could imagine. HF soaks down into and attacks the calcium directly in the bones. My left arm is always in pain, and the bones in my left arm are probably a major storehouse for loads of calcium fluoride. Add to that 31 years of working in chemical factories, and I've been exposed to just about everything that you wouldn't want to be exposed to in my day. > > > > you might want to check the health of your pituitary gland. i just found out that i have a pituitary tumor, although i do not have that symptom, i have spokend to several people with microadenomas that do suffer from dark areas under the eyes along with other symptoms of course. just a thought... > > michelle > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I'd recommend mg oil on the arm, and definitely iodine protocol. How much iodine you taking/for how long?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Bruce, I've only been on Iodoral for a bit more than a week. So far I'm only taking 6.25 mg (I'm splitting them in half) to gauge for any potential undesirable reactions or side effects. I just recently (within the past month or so) came across many articles, audios, and videos from Dr's Brownstein, Abraham, and Flechas while researching into my various assumed to be hypothyroid related symptoms. I was so taken by their work that I started taking the Iodoral on my own. I've learned a bunch about the rest of the protocol right here on this excellent forum. The only positive effect I've noticed so far is that my basal temp is up about 0.7 to 0.9 degrees for the past two mornings vs. what it was before I started on the Iodoral. The negative effect is that I haven't been sleeping as well since I started taking it, but then I'm still in the " worry mode " over taking something as radical as 6.25 mg of Iodine a day. I know that probably sounds downright silly to those taking 50 mg to 100 mg daily. > > > I'd recommend mg oil on the arm, and definitely iodine protocol. > How much iodine you taking/for how long? > Iodine detoxes fluoride as you likely know > > Bruce > ----- Original Message ----- > From: lsayre@... > > For water we have a well which we use only to shower, flush the toilets, and > wash clothes (we drink only bottled RO water), and we use unfluorinated > toothpaste, so there are no fluorides to contend with in our house.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Not silly at all, it was 3 months from the time I discovered Dr Brownstein's video on youtube and beginning to investigate; to starting at 150mcg/day. Then to 300mcg etc, then 6mg after a while, then up...caution is always ok. Glad to hear positive effects already. Taking selenium? Bruce ----- Original Message ----- From: lsayre@...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Dark circles under the eyes is most likely liver, kidney, allergies, chronic stuffy nose or lack of sleep. If around the eyes, it could be SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus) - from there the name " lupus " which means " wolf " in Latin. Hilda.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 For a lot of us, dark rings under/around the eyes is dairy. Remove the milk, the circles go away. Dairy and other allergies are often the cause. That's why they are called 'allergy shiners'. Hope this helps someone.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 For selenium I was eating 3 Brazil nuts per day, but I just dropped it to 2 per day starting yesterday. > > Not silly at all, it was 3 months from the time I discovered Dr Brownstein's video on youtube and beginning to investigate; to starting at 150mcg/day. > Then to 300mcg etc, then 6mg after a while, then up...caution is always ok. > Glad to hear positive effects already. > Taking selenium? > Bruce > ----- Original Message ----- > From: lsayre@... > > Bruce, I've only been on Iodoral for a bit more than a week.
