Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 400-800? Isn't that rather high. I have seen normall recommendation 200, some rarely have said up to 400, but I never see over that being recommended. Any research on the high amounts? Sel gets toxic. I have thought higher 'may' be good, just haven't seem the data. thanks Bruce ----- Original Message ----- From: rockchalkmom2 If you're not taking B vitamins, you need to--that is part of the iodine protocol. Also, iodine can increase oxidation, so if you are not getting enough antioxidants, I would think that could contribute to the burning. I have read of people taking high doses of vitamin C as well as E to prevent burning. You might consider taking at least 400-800 mcg of selenomethionine (for the selenium).

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 "Inorganic selenium, I wouldn't go above 200 mcg." Preferrably not use that at all yes. meth or the cysteine version are definitely better. The higher doses here are interesting, since I read in many places that selenium is needed with iodine I was wondering about higher levels with more iodine. The report below of needing more selenium than 200mcg's when they thyroid swells is something that definitely should be looked into by Dr's Abraham, Brownsteine et al. There have been a number of reports of that happening here. It seems logical as well. Bruce ----- Original Message ----- From: rockchalkmom2 There are several people in another forum that discovered through trial and error that they needed more selenium (selenomethionine) with higher dosages of iodine, and they did not report any adverse effects. One woman reported that she needed 800 mcg of selenomethionine to make her goiter shrink when she was taking iodine (without sufficient selenium, the iodine made her thyroid swell). While these reports are purely anecdotal, it seems like it would be fine for people to experiment with taking more than 200 mcg of l-selenomethonine while on iodine.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Grassfed dairy products are high in Omega 3s. Grain fed dairy is high in Omega 6s.AnneOn Jan 6, 2010, at 4:36 PM, freshfacejoe wrote: Lise: This is only my experience so take it for what it's worth, but your situation really resonates with me. I used to burn horribly from my teen years on. I just remember one day being like 14 or so and realizing I had to severely cut my time in the sun because my body couldn't handle it anymore like when I was a kid. Was tired of the really bad burns. This went on for 15 years or so, and I look back on it and I can't believe I spent so many beautiful summer days indoors in my teens and 20s and thought that was perfectly normal. And the times I did go out, I would slather myself in sunscreen and still end up getting burned. My health drastically declined at the age of 29 (mostly stomach) and after 5 long years (I was really brainwashed) of riding the mainstream medical joke carousel didn't help me a single bit, I decided to go the natural route. I was kind of clueless for another 18 months after that, hitting health stores and buying up vitamins and cheap supplements and hoping for a quick fix. The biggest stumbling block in my life back then was my complete and total enslavement to "convenience". I just wanted to go to a store, buy something and have that solve all my problems. Dumb. Then in fall 2005 I finally made the first tentative commitment to really change my diet. I started drinking raw milk and kefir made from raw milk from a local farmer in winter 2005-06 to help with grueling stomach problems and the first thing I noticed when summer came around was that I could stand being out in the sun again. I wanted to be out in the sun again. I went from ALWAYS burning right away to tanning that first summer. I can't emphasize enough how astonishing this was to me after all those years. "Whoa! This is new." And I just knew from listening to my body that the sun wasn't going to be a problem anymore. That was the first change in my health situation in years and from that point on I started eating all these other different natural and fermented foods and whatnot and I eventually found my way here with iodine. But I was on nothing but raw milk/kefir when this change occurred. I had completely eliminated fast food and other obvious garbage, so my diet was cleaner at the time, but it was still far from ideal. I guess I was eating a lot of farm-fresh eggs as well, but other than that, nothing that was particularly healthy. I went from avoiding the sun to loving the sun in that one summer. I am kind of a Vitamin D fanatic these days (making up for lost time, I guess) and I make it a point to exercise outdoors shirtless (just shorts, socks and sneakers) between noon and 2 pm for at least an hour pretty much every day during the summer months. I usually shoot hoops on the blacktop with the summer sun beating down on me. Feels great, the hotter the better. No sunscreen, no worries. Been doing this faithfully the past 3 years. And I still drink a ton of raw milk. When I golf with my friends in the summer (which I probably shouldn't do due to all the chemicals soaking the golf courses, man it is so bad on some of them and I do feel sick sometimes; the iodine really helped with that this past fall) and they all drench themselves in sunscreen on the first tee, I just stand there and tell them, "Hey, I drink my sunscreen." Still not sure why, but this really happened. Maybe it was the Omega 3s? I grew up on the Standard American Diet, God knows my body had probably been severely lacking in those for decades. - Joe > > > > > > Vitamin B deficiency?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 one neat thing about coconut oil is that it does contain medium chain triglycerides. These metabolize to ketones, a preferred brain food. Recent studies show ketones affect Alzheimer and dementia patients in a positive way. Work is being done now to create a drug derived from coconut oil for this purpose. Dr Newport has shown progress with her husband using coconut oil and MCT oil.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Wow, You know, I have always had a diet that was really high in dairy, I LOVE dairy, cheese, yoghurt..... I stopped after we discovered that my daughter had a severe issue with it. I later discovered a lump in my breast and found the book 'Your Life In Your Hands' By Professor Jane Plant. Amazing book, and I would recommend it to anyone, not just breast cancer sufferers. She also recommends Iodine as an essential nutrient to cancer recovery.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi, I really would be writing for a long time. I would really recommend reading 'Your Life In Your Hands" By Professor Jane Plant as she goes into all the technical stuff as well as a whole lot of other stuff about it. I will say a few things though, I can't remember all the techno jargon. Basically a human is not designed to have milk from another mammal. Mammals milk is a hormone cocktail designed to make a mammal grow really big and really fast. Milk from another mammal is made perfectly to suit the species it is designed for. The composition of chemical and hormonal ingredients are dangerous in different quantities and combinations. Cows milk is designed to make a calf grow into a cow or bull. If we look into cancer we don't want to have anything that encourages anything to hormonally grow big and fast. Breast cancer is a hormonal cancer. Professor Jane is a scientist who traveled the world with a team of scientists helping solve health issues in remote areas.. They where instrumental in helping find out if health issues were genetic or environmentally responsible in certain places. The team of scientists that she worked with had access to research all over the world. Through her travels to remote parts of china where breast cancer is almost non existent, she found that it was not genetic. People from those areas that move to western countries develop breast cancer at the same rate as westerners. If they move back to these remote areas the rate of breast cancer then reduces back to almost nil. This, after much study and research, and also almost dying herself from breast cancer, she found that it was a lot of factors. One major one was dairy in the western diet. I have since gone on to read much more on this topic from many different sources and after reading them critically I can say I do not want my family to have dairy again, ever. Professor Jane also mentions as part of her healing regime, that she highly recommends Iodine. She says to have it as Icelandic kelp as the waters around there are not as polluted. When I met her in London and talked to her about using Lugols instead, she was very interested, especially in the amounts I was having. I think that this is an essential read as a first step to healing, not only from breast cancer but for also thyroid issues. After reading about the link between the thyroid and the breasts and breast cancer with iodine deficiency, I am so glad I have a wider understanding of the bigger links to these issues.And no I have never had breast cancer, only fibrocystic breast disease since I was a teenager.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yes, I must say, I'm a bit skeptical of drastic one-size-fits all prescriptions for human diet. Humans really do vary between cultures and from person to person within cultures as to what is the best diet for each one. Some of the longest-lived peoples of the world are dairy herders. Certainly, industrial dairy " farming " is harmful to people's health, both on the macro and micro scales. -- >With respect, there are other views on milk.
