Re: Absolute must read about iodine dosing & thyroid

[Guest guest]

Things like nail-biting are genetically connected to OCD and Tourette's

Syndrome. (Or at least the deficiencies are familial.) I know because I've done

a ton of research. My brother has Tourette's. All 7 of us siblings in my

family bite/have bitten our nails. And other idiosyncrasies. Hair pulling.

Playing with paper edges. Etc.

I have tried over the years, several times, to get my brother to at least TRY

magnesium, as this is reported to help. He says, " I don't take vitamins and I

never will. " (This is what I have to deal with...)

Since I started taking lots of magnesium, I too, have ceased and desisted the

nail biting.

Very interesting.

Asking you for a reference and "taking you to task" are two entirely separate things. And If Steph made the same statement, I missed it. I don't read EVERY post.I never said anything to you about not watching a video. And I have read Dr. B's book. In fact, I reviewed it on my blog. So please don't imply that I'm lying to you.If you can't supply the reference, then just say so. I'm not responsible for your defensiveness, and I don't deserve a tirade from you.Joannewww.joanneunleashed.comOn Apr 12, 2010, at 4:27 PM, iodine wrote:f you *had* read Dr B's book or the Optimox readings you would already know this to be a fact about gut health and iodine, and you're on my case for not watching a video you prefer, but you haven't read Dr B's book and the Optimox readings which are central, basic texts in our understanding of the iodine protocol?

That's fantastic news!! So many Hashis/Autoimmune sufferers won't try iodine, because they believe it's bad for them. I think that's such a shame.Were you advised to try Iodine or did you do it yourself?IanI have Hashi's for about 17 yrs now. Take synthroid and cytomel. Started Lugols 3 months ago. Up to 25 mg. NEVER FELT BETTER! Beverly

My perspective on genetics has changed over the last couple of years. It is a

term that is used whenever scientists and doctors can't find an explanation or

won't consider some explanations. One could say hypothyroidism is genetic or

even iodine deficiency is genetic because if mom has either one the children

will also have them. It is one thing to have a defective gene and another to

be deficient in nutrients. OCD is probably a deficiency but it is fascinating

and curious that a whole family would have the same behaviors.

LOL! You're making me chuckle.

Here's a reference with multiple studies on gastrointestinal iodine use.

See the links on the lefthand side of the page:

http://iodine4health.com/body/gastro/gastro.htm

Here is a link to a site that gives multiple studies on all the many ways

that iodine is used in the body.

Donna:

Have you experienced NAET treaments? If so, you would understand that NAET

treatments for yeast includes all forms of it and candida is part of it. The

NAET treatments do not only treat the allergen, but also helps to rebalance the

body and detoxify it. Yeast comes from or is fed from foods (sugars, grains and

combinations thereof). Check out the website (www.naet.com) if you want more

information. There are other treatments that include heavy metals and that is

not an allergy for most, i.e. mercury. The woman that treats me told me that

she had a woman that was to undergo chelation for mercury and didn't need to

after the NAET treatments. I don't have an allergy to iodine either, but if

your body is not able to absorb it being treated for it via NAET helps your body

to better absorb it. All I know is that after I was treated for minerals I was

able to take more iodine without the detox symptoms (fatigue and feeling down)

that I had experienced in the past prior to the NAET.

problem, and you can either one separately. Does that make sense? Your NAET

treatments are going to get rid of the allergy, but will not get rid of candida

overgrowth. You would have to treat that separately, and you are correct that it

might take more than iodine and coconut oil. We have had to do more than that

over the years.

yeast/candida then they did not work for me because I had positive muscle

the die off. It could be that iodine alone might help someone kill yeast if a

Yes, we have been doing NAET treatment for 5+ years now, and our

doctor has treated the candida overgrowth to kill it, but through things we

took orally, and treated the allergy to yeast completely separately. We are not

allergic to yeast, but still can have an overgrowth throughout the body. NAET

does not kill candida.

i dont know if this will be off topic but if yeast and fungus are not the same does iodine work on the yeast, fungus or both. my dr subscribed 150 ng diflucan 1 each week for 5 wks dont think that is enough. i told him i was painting my toe fungus w/ iodine (havent got the food grade yet) and he acted like that was slly i asked for nystatin but he refused said it was too hard on liver. thanks belinda

Hello Donna,

Yeast is a form of the class fungus...fungal forms can exist as a yeast or mold,

depending on the temperature they grow in. Yeast is the form they take in higher

temps, like inside a living body.
