Re: Gaining weight with the iodine

[Guest guest]

I'm also worried.   I gained 2 kgs last time I got up to 50 with iodine, then stopped because of detox and have now been up to 50 again for almost a week but have put on another 2 kgs in the last week.   These 4 kgs are my first weight gain in just over a year but before then I'd put on a lot with Hashis.

A liver cleanse might be in order. Also, have you tried Naturethroid or Armour thyroid? Most people feel better on natural thyroid. Just a thought. Kathleen =-)

Gaining weight with the iodine

Salt Loading, detox, and weight gain, please read:

Once again it seems there is massive confusion about what salt loading is.

No one should be salt loading " morning and evening so twice a day " every

day. Salt loading is only supposed to be used for a few days maximum (no

more than 7 days) when detox symptoms are a problem. If the detox symptoms

keep recurring, or if the salt loading is not helping, then there is a

deeper problem with one's detox pathways and more salt loading is not going

to help.

It is understood scientifically and anecdotally that if the detox pathways

are not open and functioning, a person will put on weight when detoxing

because the toxins that the body is trying to get rid of (but can't) will

be stored as fat. Whenever the body doesn't know what to do with something,

it stores it as fat. That is why people can get fat eating aspartame, for

example.

If salt loading hasn't worked in 4 days (7 max), stop salt loading. Lower

the dose of iodine, for sure. Sometimes all that is required is backing

down off the dose for a week or two and then slowly raising it

again. However, if someone is putting on weight, simply lowering the

iodine dose is not going to work. You will have to do physical

detoxification regimens of one kind or another, or of several kinds. The

liver/gallbladder flush is often discussed. There are also various kinds

of clean-out diets that last for 7 to 14 days with varying types of

followup and returning to more normal eating. What is called " far infrared

saunas " or " infrared saunas " work super well for opening detox pathways. ETC.

It's not the salt. It's that the body requires to be cleaned out before it

can adequately process the toxins that the iodine is dislodging from the cells.

A further source of constant confusion is that unrefined salt is also

required as one of the companion nutrients. This is 1/2 tsp unrefined salt

per day, plus liberal use on food. Some people use even more as their

standard daily dose, especially people with adrenal fatigue. This standard

supplement amount can be taken mixed with water, it can be taken by putting

it in empty capsules, it can be taken by ensuring you use that full amount

on food throughout the day. It doesn't matter how you take the salt that

is the portion for the companion nutrient.

If salt loading is done, that is over and above the standard companion

dose. If salt loading is done, it is not done more than 7 days in a

row. If one is still suffering disturbing detox symptoms after 7 days of

attempting to alleviate with salt loading, STOP DOING the salt loading.

It's not going to work, and by ignoring the true problem you're building up

more and more toxins in the body that it can't get rid of and therefore

will store as fat.

The true problem is that your detox pathways aren't working correctly and

you have to do some work on them. There's no getting around this. It's not

the iodine, and it's not the salt. It's that your body can't flush out the

toxins and is storing them as fat.

hope this helps,

Thanks Kathleen. I just started on Milk Thistle but maybe a stronger cleanse is

in order. My doctor said that we can't get Armour in our area any more but I

just started with a Naturopathic M.D. who just ran a bunch of blood panels so

I'll ask him at my next appointment.

Perhaps I should cut out all sugars? It's hard to do consistently but maybe it

would help now?

Thank you for the information. I'll back off a bit on the dosage and

look into a liver flush.

Glad to help. btw, I think this was already suggested but, I never felt

decent at all until I changed to whole thyroid, in my case

NatureThroid. The difference was night and day.

Yes, ask your Natureopath, you will feel so much better on natural animal thyroid, if Naturethroid or Armour isn't availabe in your area, I would think your pharmacist could order some. And yes, cut out all the sugars, including natural ones as well, try the white stevia powder( I like NOW brand and KAL brand) , make sure its pure stevia though, not mixed with other ingredients. Milk Thistle daily is good for the liver as are Carrot/apple juice and green juices . Coffee enemas also help the liver release toxins and can be very helpful to keep up with the toxins being released while on a cleansing diet.

Hi Jacqui

I am in the UK and I buy my own dessicated thyroid fron the International

Pharmacy. You can get Armour or Naturethroid.

http://www.internationalpharmacy.com/en/products/brand/a/6

Another alternative is Value Pharmacy. They say they have Armour thyroid but it

is actually ERFA from Canada. It works just as well and is a lot cheaper. I

have never had a problem buying online and I have been doing it for a few years

now.
