Don't go by me. I have many other issues that cause weight gain. I am actually down 25 lbs. Just stay away from sugar and grains and spend time on my new treadmill and it stays off. It's easier now that I have detoxed.

Re:Weight Gain with Iodine

Thanks Engtovo...The reason I assumed that weight gain was not a temporary reaction to iodine supplementation is because, as I recall, has experienced it recently, and she has been using iodine for several years.I actually did have a good outlook about the prospect of weight gain with iodine (thinking that it wouldn't happen to me, that is), up until yesterday. It's just that reality has now set in.Sherry

Bruce,

Interesting as far as it goes.

Have you noticed that no one gives the whole story?

Personal accounts dealing with health issues often

leave out important aspects.

Taking a personal history one must be aware of this

by prompting with "is there anything else you may think

is relevant"?

Even with that caveat a little later in a session an

important but previously unmentioned fact will come

up and the person will say something like" I didn't

think that was important", or relevant.

But that fact may be central in understanding what

is going on.

Having the above in mind allows one to be open to

a broader understanding which may bring about

an earlier resolution to a problem.

Interesting idea here

"Dieting over prolonged and extended periods can permanently reprogram the Thyroid into low gear. Now the rate at which you begin putting on weight is alarming (1 Kg / 2 lbs per month) and you think you have a Thyroid Problem. Little realizing that you might have created it with your "Superior Intellect". So you go and get your T3, T4 and TSH levels checked and satisfy yourself that nature has indeed bestowed a Thyroid Problem in your life. Now you think you were Smart in the first place to have suspected you have a Thyroid Problem and the tests have "proved" you right.

The truth of the matter is that your "Superior Intellect" inflicted Hypothyroidism in your life. The deeper truth is that you don't have a Thyroid malfunction but a Protein Deficiency. So much for your T3, T4 and TSH Test Report and our ability to interpret it and correct the situation. The truth of the matter is that your body does not have adequate reserves of Proteins and Nitrogen to produce its own Amino Acids like Tyrosine and other Essential and Non Essential Amino Acids. Remember, there are approximately 28 Amino Acids, that work synergistically together to keep the Body in balance.

From the above, it is now clear to you that, to decrease weight, you must begin to eat right. The trick to reducing weight is to actually increase food intake to normal levels, so that your Body has adequate levels of Proteins and Nitrogen reserves, to increase your Rate of Metabolism."

Well if you are deficient in iodine than stopping iodine supplementation can only lead to further disease. Hydrocortisone is a steroid on the other hand that has tons of side effects.

how much weight have you gained?

Subject: Re:Weight Gain with Iodine

I didn't take any iodine today because I'm not sure if I want to continue due to the weight gain I experienced so quickly. Did anyone have weight gain right away and later find that is ceased to be an issue or that it easily came off after a while? Up until about 8 months ago, when I started to using hydrocortisone, I could easily control my weight, regardless of what I ate, as long as I limited my calories to 1200-1500 per day. That all changed with hydrocortisone, and now the problem has intensified with iodine.I'm trying to figure out what to do. Although I have experienced some positive effects in the short time I took iodine, I feel so bad about myself with the extra weight and the prospect of even more, that I don't know if the positive outweighs the negative for me. Sherry

[Guest guest]

I don't know how much weight, Engtovo. I don't weigh myself. Anything on top of

the hydrocortisone weight is just too much on my 5'2 " frame, after only 10 days.

It may be only 5 pounds, but it's enough to be very upsetting. I just know that

I look disgusting and am busting out of my clothes.

I don't really understand how, for those who are just iodine deficient, versus

battling cancer, why we would need to supplement with so much iodine every day.

I could be wrong, but just seems that whatever iodine is missing from our food

wouldn't be 25 mg or more each day.

Sherry

[Guest guest]

I have taken between 50-100mg in the last year and it has slowly taken weight

off of me.

Do you still take hydrocortisone? My father took hydrocortisone for 40years and

I saw him change very quickly from a handsome active man to being bloated and

sedentary. Hydrocotisone, as I have read should be taken for short periods of

time otherwise your adrenals can become dependent (as my father's did).

I'm weaning off the hydrocortisone (20 mg), . You are supposed to do it

slowly and the hope is that the adrenals will kick back in. I personally know of

2 women who were easily able to stop after a year or so. It is controversial,

but after what I went through for many years, I had to try something. I had all

the symptoms of adrenal fatigue, and my saliva tests supported it. I was on the

adrenals group for months, and I decided to try hydrocortisone because I didn't

feel like I had a choice.

The moderators on the adrenals group aren't fans of iodine (they think it's very

hard on the adrenals and will only cause more problems) and nearly convinced me

to not try it. I actually feel much better with the iodine than I did with just

the hydrocortisone though. I wonder if I could have just skipped the

hydrocortisone and gone straight to iodine and avoided some of the weight.

Sherry

[Guest guest]

I did the same Sherry and then just decided through my own experience that I did

not want to go the hydrocortisone route. There are people here who have done

hydrocortisone and there seems to be lots of success stories on STTM too. I

only think that iodine is hard on your adrenals if you are not taking the supps

and making sure that you doing everything that can to help any detox.

I take a natural adrenal cortex backed up by St s Wort and it has worked

really well for me. Throughout the year on iodine I have had times when my

adrenals have been under pressure but I then have upped salt and water magnesium

and adrenal supp with St s Wort and they have settled down again.

Sherry - it isn't about deficiency. It's toxicity. Not only did we lose out on the needed nutrients from soil and food (Mg, Se, I, Vit C, etc) but we are bombarded from all sides with toxic halides that block what little iodine we are exposed to (Fluoride, Chlorine, Bromide, Mercury).

One of the owners of the Adrenal group was severely chemically poisoned by a chloride based chemical. She is VERY toxic and has not followed what I suggested for healing. She eats a VERY poor diet too. You can't go by what they tell you as they did not following the recommended protocol when they tried it. It's very frustrating because there are so many components to why iodine causes issues. It isn't the iodine but the junk that the body is dealing with that is the problem. Iodine is trying to clean up the mess.

I agree . I take Biotics Research Cytozyme AD to support my adrenals and then when I am in a really stressful time like over the holidays I take HC. I had to take HC when my dad was in ICU and then died. But otherwise now I only use it when I am getting sick or have a very stressful week.

My adrenals and thyroid crashed when my father was in ICU and then died.

Although I don't agree with alot of what my endo says, even though he is one of

the most charming french men I have met, he suggested I should try yoga. Love

him.

By the way, he was one of the endocrinologists who helped to discover RT3 as he

was researching in the US at the time. We spent over an hour talking last week.

He is conservative in his approach and also terribly restricted by the medical

laws of France.

you are confusing low dose HC with the way docs use steroids. HC is safe

and a life saver when used properly. look at Safe Uses of Cortisol by

McK Jefferies MD. we shouldn't throw the baby out with the

bathwater

FWIW I tried not taking any Iodoral yesterday. I really didn't do well

and by about 6pm I had to take 50mg. today I have already taken 100mg.

maybe I will try 25mg more--maybe this is what detox is but I feel horrible.

HC should be bioidentical like cortef, usually dosed 5mg 4X a day. it

sounds like your father needed other hormones as well. this is what good

holistic docs should know about.

I think you will have to eat more, continue HC and take enough Iodoral

to even start to heal.

I am sure he needed other hormones and I am sure he had a defunct thyroid. He

took HC for a skin condition. My family seems to have a genetic predisposition

for this. My sister has skin issues and her doctors are now mentioning celiac.

My other sister has energy and depression issues. If I had not had the physical

evidence ie goiter, I would be still trying to figure it out.

I wonder if it was really HC or a patented version, and then there is

proper dosing. when I first tried HC the naturopath told me to take the

wrong dose. I gave up after a week--one year later I tried it again 4X a

day instead of 3 and it worked like magic. Iodine for skin issues!

sounds like the whole fam needs it.

I think there was a recent discussion about this, maybe if you search the

archives for 'weight' you will find it. It looked like a few people have, but

not the majority. I think it was also temporary, but I am not sure if I am

remembering it all correctly. I think the general idea is that if your body is

healing, it is more important to let that continue, and have things settle back

down when you are in better shape, than to focus on weight.

Steph,

I'm out of work, and I can't afford to be buying even more supplements (I

already take so many) that I'm sure are not inexpensive. I have a bunch of milk

thistle though...Do you think it may be helpful with the detox/weight gain

issue?
