Re: Mag and leg cramps/sunburn

[Guest guest]

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).

beach yesterday. This has never been an issue before, right from when I was

young? I have never taken vit d supplements ever.

Since it sounds like B or D deficiencies can cause trouble, possibly going

gluten and dairy free has removed some vitamins that you were getting through

diet?

I've read that ingesting enough coconut oil will decrease photo sensitivity. You

might try adding that instead of decreasing iodine.

It would be a good thing no matter what: )

I cook with Living Tree Community FoodsRaw Coconut oil, put Tropical TraditionsCoconut Cream Concentrate in my smoothies(room temperature as cold/frozen ingredientswill make the coconut cream solidify) anduse the Raw Coconut Oil on my skin insteadof all sorts of lotions and potions. I amblue-eyed and fair skinned. I used to burn very easily. Now, every year when it starts to get warm I go out in the sun and expose as much of my body as possible starting outfor ten minutes on each side working up to20 minutes on each side. I do not burn anymore. I bought some MastersMineral sunscreen in case I have to beout in the sun for inordinate amount of time but have not had a chance to actuallyuse it yet. My husband is Italian and hisskin used to darken as soon as the weatherstarted to warm up. Now, at 55 years ofage his skin is much paler then it used tobe and his skin does get a little red nowbefore he darkens up so it could be that your skin has changed. Maybe the iodineis detoxing something that is making yourskin sensitive. Maybe you should go backand review the Iodine Protocol and makesure you are taking all the essential co-factors.You need to be patient as youbecome a little detective to try and figure out why your skin has changedand for the time being try the Masters Mineral sunscreen...becomingred raw can't be a good thing !> >> > Vitamin B deficiency?

Selenium toxicity all depends on the form. Inorganic selenium, I wouldn't go

above 200 mcg. I recommended l-selenomethonine, an organic form that will not

build up toxicity like some other forms.

Here's an article on selenium:

http://www.healthy.net/scr/Article.aspx?Id=577 & xcntr=1

.. If you scroll down toward the bottom, there is a section on daily intake and

safety. The author says that 200 mcg is safe and effective but also talks about

some cultures' diets that naturally contain much more selenium without adverse

effects. In addition, it appears that symptoms of toxicity are reversible. One

symptom would be strong garlic-like smell.

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.

The original poster who was asking about sunburn could gain even more benefit by

taking vitamin E and vitamin C (a timed-release or esterified version might be

more tolerable).

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.
