Guest guest Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hello , I am doing all of the companion supps except that my Selenium consumption is only 55 mcg. in the form of a supp. I do not mesure my iodine/iodide for now. I am really loading up on Vitamin D and its being monitored by blood tests. I want to reach 55 to 60 ng/ml. That means my body is processing a lot and so I will focus more on iodine/iodide after my Vit D level is where I want it. Right now I paint a 3 " diameter patch on my foot with an iodine/iodide tincture of 2.5 and 2.5 % respectively. I do this 3 days then wait 3 days to begin again. I know that sounds slow at best: just getting my feet wet for now. Its amazingly powerful tho and I notice a difference. Oh, I take a multi that has 150 mcg of potassium iodide with that. As for Lithium, for now I will settle for my daily serving of Concentrace trace minerals which contains 395 mcg. I look forward to my new bloods which may reflect my current consumption of iodine/iodide (albeit its a small quantity.)

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 I already have a prescrip for blood tests that includes thyroid and Vitamin D. So thats in the near future. If my Vitamin D is at the right level I will start with Lugol's drops. I have to figure out how to get some extra selenium w/o duplicating other nutrients in the process. I also need to up my prescrip for Niaspan. If I'm going to add more Niacin, in addition to supporting Iodine, I want it to benefit my HDL and LDL numbers and I know Niaspan will do that quite nicely.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Sylviane, Itching and redness were not unusual for me, though it's been a while since those particular symptoms have been coming up. It's definitely detoxing, the iodine stirring things up, and I read somewhere that the itching is deadened nerves waking up. Having said that, if the redness seems to be irritation of the skin -- as opposed to inflammation below -- then you'll want to mix the Lugol's with an oil before applying. (Coconut oil or hexane-free castor oil) Speaking of nerves waking up . . . re: my "buffalo hump" (cortisol-induced hard lump of fat on my spine, below the neck), I have been using the Lugol's/castor oil on that, and recently I had a small inflamed area just above the lump. And then, a over a larger area below, I began to get deep muscular pain. The amazing thing about this last area is that for the last 30 years or so, that area has been totally numb -- dead to any feeling at all. I used to beg my son to massage and press hard there -- and never felt anything. So this pain is very welcome, and I am hoping that I may one day see the disappearance of my hump. hiOn 12/30/2010 9:56 AM, sissyv wrote:  I'm not sure what it means and if it can be related to my experience: I take lugol's internally for a breast tumor and I think it helps so I tried a couple of time to paint my tumor and also when I had anything appearing near the breast.

Recently I put a small drop on some little things that I didn't know if they were related to the tumor or not on the sit of my breast and on the sternum and all the sternum area became red and itchy... any explication and advice?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Regarding the lithium orotate, is there any restriction with taking this mineral with other supplements, etc? Should I take it many hours away from other supplements or thyroid meds, etc? Thank you. Cheers, JOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010  What you are describing is common. Your skin is a major detox organ. Taking baths in 1 cup epsom salts with 1 cup hydrogen peroxide can help to detox the skin.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'm not sure the detox process ever ends! I've been at this for almost four years not, have controlled detox symptoms with sea salt and companion nutrients and was fortunate enough to break out with some great looking bromide acne on my chin just before Christmas! What a nice gift from Santa... BarbF Re: iodine intolerance What you are describing is common. Your skin is a major detox organ.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 One theory goes that the body hides toxins away, as a protective mechanism, & that as you detox, you get healthy enough to clean out some of those old pockets of garbage. It certainly FEELS that way sometimes, when there are hiccups in the detox process.AnneOn Dec 30, 2010, at 11:11 AM, Bbircie@... wrote: I'm not sure the detox process ever ends!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Here is a link to an article about the orotates and the work of Dr. Hans Nieper, written by Ed Sharpe and located on Dr. Lanphier's website: http://www.oasisadvancedwellness.com/learning/orotates-mineral-transporters.html The article includes what cautions may apply when supplementing with lithium orotate. As I look about for data regarding lithium & iodine I keep seeing references to studies that show lithium either helps iodine stay in the body longer or helps iodine be distributed more evenly ... but so far am only seeing these statements on product sales pages and am hoping to find some of the studies or articles by health practitioners. But then again I'm not done poking around :-) Given the prevalence of halides that compete with iodine it seems that being able to verify this would be significant. On it's own low dose lithium orotate clearly has it's benefits but to have it affect iodine in the way that is being suggested is just too interesting to pass up! > > > > Regarding the lithium orotate, is there any restriction with taking this mineral with other supplements, etc? > > Should I take it many hours away from other supplements or thyroid meds, etc? > > Thank you. > > Cheers, JOT > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi It would seem that lithium orotate (not sure about other forms) are not available OTC in Canada. Rats. You mention calluses. I have always had ridiculously thick skin on my feet and heels. Does this indicate something? Will Iodine help? Jaye > > > >How much lithium do you take, ?
