Re: Newbie.........Not new to herbs.......new to Iodine & pro-botic question

[Guest guest]

My friend use to be a nurse. She is taking Iodine to help her fight Candida.

She warned me to be careful, that Iodine kills bacteria and will also kill good

bacteria. I did think of this myself. Since I am taking a very expensive

pro-botic.

replacement on that 0.5 P Thyroid. He did nothing for the adrenals, guess that

would heal on their own. I did support them with dried cow adrenal from health

food store. Then in Jan 2011 I went for thermal imaging on my breast and my

right one light up light a Christmas tree. So then they did a mammogram which I

am against them. Also a ultra-sound. Yep lump in my right breast so small I

could not feel it and 5 months later I still feel nothing. Dr. wanted me back

in 3 months to see if it was growing. The truth is I told the Dr. our insurance

was ending and I did not want no pre-existing condition and she understood that.

The 3 month period is past and my husband still has not gotten a job.

estrogen that goes in and changes the estrogen in your body to a good estrogen.

I kept searching......The Bio-Identical hormones made me feel great! Then in

Feb. I get a call saying I have Endometriosis and need a hysteroscopy and a

biopsy! I had noticed more pain than I had before starting the hormones. The

type of estrogen used derived from soy caused the Endometriosis to grow cause I

had started having cycles again!! Which I believe the very same estrogen

started the lump to growing in my breast (lump is very sm.). The Dr. who did

the mammogram asked if I had just started on hormone replacement, and I said

yes! My Aunt had breast cancer and Dr. told her it was cause they had her on

synthetic hormones at high dose that caused her breast cancer. No one else in

family has ever had breast cancer. The fear of having breast cancer took me for

a search. Which lead me here: http://truthquest2.com/thyroid.htm

the Endometriosis. Maca Root has natural Iodine in it, not sure how much can't

beginning I went up to 30 drops a day for 3 days and my stomach said don't think

so! Slowly brought it back down to 20 drops. I take 10 drops with raw apple

cider vinegar with breakfast. Again at lunch 10 drops same as breakfast. I

started on May 13th and on May 18th I came down with bronchitics, so I added

Olive Leaf 3 pills 3X's a day. Which clears it up in 5 to 10 days. Very

different this time. Coughing much worse. I have not used the inhaler for over

9 months. I had to use it a few times a day. Last night was first time I did

not use the inhaler at bed time! Coughing much less, so glad. I hate using the

inhaler but like breathing. Last few days when I was coughing stuff up it

tasted like iodine. I thought I am over dosing myself. Today I backed down to

9 drops, lowering myself down. Why would Iodine be coming up out of my lungs?

Hi Deborah,

With all due respect, your nurse friend is INCORRECT, iodine does not kill off good bacteria. It is a natural substance to the body and does not kill the good. I also take a good probiotic because it's a smart idea in our polluted world, but again, she is wrong. Best, Kathleen

[Guest guest]

Thanks Kathleen, I have been at 20 drops of Lugol's 2% solution which is 50mg

of Iodine. I believe it is too much too fast. I am so drained and coughing. I

have decided to cut down to 10 drops which is 25mg. I have only been doing this

2 weeks and I need some sleep. Last night was the first night I did not use the

inhaler since getting sick with bronchitis. I know that inhaler makes my health

worse. So I figure I will drop back until the " dye off or detox " lets up. I'm

screaming uncle! I only have sea salt no Celtic salt. It was almost $8 at the

health food store. I haven't eaten wheat for years or sugar. I would think the

detox would not be so back. I have fasted and done liver cleanses before. Dr.

Rowe who can touch my body and feel what it is saying due to pressure points.

Said, my stomach was real upset. I had not told him how much the Iodine was

hurting my stomach.

Deborah,

Am I understanding you right? You have not been taking unrefined Celtic Sea Salt? It's imperative to use it while using iodine. The other companion nutrients you need as well...Magnesium, Vitamin C, Selenium. Have you read the New Members doc. you were sent when you joined? If you didn’t save it, please go to FILES, the New Members doc., then read Commonly Asked Questions. You will see it is very important that you also take the companion nutrients while using iodine. Please make sure you include them all for the best results. Best wishes, Kathleen

As long as the sea salt is UNREFINED, it doesn't have to be Celtic sea

salt. If the package was $8, it's probably unrefined. There are less

expensive options. Redmond's Real Salt is less expensive and is still

whole, unrefined sea salt.

But yes, if your detox symptoms/side effects are too difficult to handle,

then you are trying to go too fast. Let your dose soak longer at a a dose

that you can handle. Consider doing some work on your detox pathways.

Just to echo, iodine does NOT kill the good bacteria. That is a myth

(there are many myths about iodine, even among otherwise-iodine-positive

folks). We are a holistic being, and iodine is essential to health. If

iodine did anything bad to people, it would be a biological contradiction,

and as far as biochemistry goes, contradictions don't really

exist. Certainly, iodine does not hurt us, it only helps us.

best wishes,

Kathleen I just joined today. Celtic Sea Salt is the only thing I lack. I use

Sea Salt. In the rock form in a mill. I take the vitamin C seperate from the

Iodine and my Magnesium is in with my calcium that I take at night. I take

between 300 to 400 mcg of Selenium. I will look for the file you have

mentioned.

Salt question then. I have DeSouza's solar sea salt ROCK. Sun dried only. Not

Kiln Dried. Says to Use half as much as ordinary salt. I put the salt in a

pepper mill and use the salt. Will this salt pass?

If yes I will start the cleanse with it.

Been reading and studying. I just added the Iodine. I read that cancer

patients (not claiming it) need 200 to 400 mcg of Selenium a day. I was at 300

mcg and just increased to 400 mcg today. Don't know how to handle the Vit C. I

read you may not take with Iodine.

Guess I need to take it at bed time to stay away from the Iodine. Not sure if my

Magnesium is enough at 250mg. I was taking 2,000 on the C.

Finding it hard to time it so I am not taking it all at once. Hoping the rock

salt that is sun dried is good. I'll go find the file and read!

> > > > I am a 50 yr. old female named Deborah. Sept. 2010 I was being drove

mad by hot flashes. I found me a Dr. who claimed to know Bio-Identical hormones.

I knew mine were not right due to the swelling on top off my feet. A natural Dr.

said it was my adrenals. What the natural Dr. gave didn't help. Got a lot of

blood work done by the GYN Dr. who does Bio-Identical hormones. He said, the

adrenals are real low and it was causing my thyroid to be low and I would need

replacement on that 0.5 P Thyroid. He did nothing for the adrenals, guess that

would heal on their own. I did support them with dried cow adrenal from health

food store. Then in Jan 2011 I went for thermal imaging on my breast and my

right one light up light a Christmas tree. So then they did a mammogram which I

am against them. Also a ultra-sound. Yep lump in my right breast so small I

could not feel it and 5 months later I still feel nothing. Dr. wanted me back in

3 months to see if it was growing. The truth is I told the Dr. our insurance was

ending and I did not want no pre-existing condition and she understood that. The

3 month period is past and my husband still has not gotten a job.

Anyway........I am using Myrrh topically on my breast.......Myrrh is a natural

estrogen that goes in and changes the estrogen in your body to a good estrogen.

I kept searching......The Bio-Identical hormones made me feel great! Then in

Feb. I get a call saying I have Endometriosis and need a hysteroscopy and a

biopsy! I had noticed more pain than I had before starting the hormones. The

type of estrogen used derived from soy caused the Endometriosis to grow cause I

had started having cycles again!! Which I believe the very same estrogen started

the lump to growing in my breast (lump is very sm.). The Dr. who did the

mammogram asked if I had just started on hormone replacement, and I said yes! My

Aunt had breast cancer and Dr. told her it was cause they had her on synthetic

hormones at high dose that caused her breast cancer. No one else in family has

ever had breast cancer. The fear of having breast cancer took me for a search.

has natural Iodine in it, not sure how much can't figure that out. I am on

Lugol's Solution 2% at 20 drops a day. In the beginning I went up to 30 drops a

day for 3 days and my stomach said don't think so! Slowly brought it back down

to 20 drops. I take 10 drops with raw apple cider vinegar with breakfast. Again

at lunch 10 drops same as breakfast. I started on May 13th and on May 18th I

came down with bronchitics, so I added Olive Leaf 3 pills 3X's a day. Which

clears it up in 5 to 10 days. Very different this time. Coughing much worse. I

have not used the inhaler for over 9 months. I had to use it a few times a day.

Last night was first time I did not use the inhaler at bed time! Coughing much

less, so glad. I hate using the inhaler but like breathing. Last few days when I

was coughing stuff up it tasted like iodine. I thought I am over dosing myself.

Today I backed down to 9 drops, lowering myself down. Why would Iodine be coming

up out of my lungs?

Yes, Deborah, this salt is whole unrefined salt. They are buying into the

anti-salt propaganda by saying to only use half as much. Because it has

more flavor, one can use less for flavor, but you must take the full

recommended amount of 1 tsp per day, plus liberal use on food, if taking

iodine.

Taking unrefined salt in one's drinking water is also a good way to help

the body make better use of the water and, in general, allows the body to

hold onto the water longer before it exits in the urine.

Way too much is made of the Vitamin C and iodine not being taken

together. Which form of iodine are you taking, Lugol's liquid, or Iodoral

tablets?

If taking the tablets, you have absolutely nothing to be concerned about,

because the tablet doesn't dissolve until deep in the gut so the Vit C

couldn't interact with it anyway.

If taking the liquid, theoretically the Vit C could convert the brown

iodiNe part into clear iodiDe in the stomach, but that is theoretical

only. Steph doesn't think it's a real issue, and while I have seen for

myself that Vit C will convert the brown part to clear in a test tube or on

my hands when stained with Lugol's, behavior in the stomach cannot be

assumed to be the same.

It's up to you, but if you wind up not taking your C because you can't get

your schedule working, it would be better to take it together and don't

worry about it. You could also take the C earlier, with lunch or

whatever. If there were any worries, it's ONLY in the stomach, and NO

OTHER TIME. IF.

Mag must be 400mg or more. It's actually more important to supplement with

mag than with calcium, because calcium is in most people's diets, but

magnesium is much harder to get.

Hi Group,

I am new to this group. I am taking LDN and that group said that taking iodine with LDN helps the process. I'm on LDN for an autoimmune disorder that also attacked my heart. The LDN has been working extremely well. However,I'm reading in this group that it is necessary to take sea salt with iodine. I'm on a salt restrictive diet but do use sea salt occasionally. Wouldn't taking extra salt be harmful to me? And if so, should I not be taking iodine?

Kathleen I just joined today. Celtic Sea Salt is the only thing I lack. I use Sea Salt. In the rock form in a mill.

I put both the salt and the Vitamin C into my 2L of water in the morning and sip

this throughout the day.

If large quantities of Vitamin C cause stomach/bowel distress you can look into

liposomal Vitamin C which is expensive but can be made at home.

I took my Vitamin C last night. I have the Lugol's 2%.

I was able to get 2 bottles for $18.95 and no shipping and I

thought that was a good deal. For now I am cutting back to 25mg of

Iodine to ease up on the detox. Then work back up to 50mg.

RE: Last night was the first night I did not use the inhaler since getting

sick with bronchitis. I know that inhaler makes my health worse.

Deborah,

You are right and may have already surmised that one of the ingredients in most

inhalers is bromide ~ one of the halides that the iodine protocol seeks to push

out of the system.

The research documents at www.optimox.com and www.iodine4health.com will give

you insight as to the benefits of iodine with respiratory disorders. (yikes!

more reading!!) The lungs have a substantial need for iodine.

In an earlier post you asked why you might be coughing up stuff that tasted like

iodine... it may have been bromine that you were tasting. Sometimes people get

a metallic taste in their mouth when beginning iodine and that is most often

thought to be the detoxing of bromine/bromides.

Bromide will hang out in the body until chloride (think unrefined salt that has

been talked about) pushes it out as it is of higher atomic weight however iodine

at high enough doses will also help to push it out.

You will also be very interested to read in the research documents the

normalizing effect that iodine has on estrogens.

All of that reading perhaps at a time when things have settled down for you!

It is concerning that you say the Lugol's is hurting your stomach. If this is

still the case it may be helpful to try taking it a different way (without the

ACV but for sure with another liquid) and make sure that you have enough food in

your stomach when you take it.

Yes, good. Some people do find that Lugol's upsets their stomach. That is

one reason Iodoral tablets were developed. All iodine should be taken with

food, it is meant to be digested/ingested with food.

My bottle of Lugol's plainly states to take it on an empty stomach, 20

minutes before eating and mixing with ACV.

I would like to get this right as I think taking it at the right time is

important for proper assimilation and effectiveness.

Now I'm confused.

There is still a lot of bad information in the world about iodine, even

including on the labels of iodine products. Lugol's should be taken with

food. There is no need or particular reason to mix it with ACV. Some

people think that's best, but it's not part of the iodine protocol-- that

is, many people have had excellent results on the iodine protocol without

using ACV with their Lugol's.

In fact people who take Lugol's frequently get a stomach ache (at higher

doses) and eating it with food prevents that, but iodine is a mineral,

meant to be ingested as a food item. That means, take it with food.

in other words, ignore the label.

Hi, Prior to getting ill........I had not used the inhaler in like 9 months.

Getting off wheat, sugar, soy product, and pork really improved my health. I

started feeling better yesterday. Haven't had to use the inhaler for a few

days. I slowly lowered the Lugol's 2% down to 15 drops. Then slowly moved it

back to 20 drops a day about

50mg. I find taking the Iodine in the morning is better. I eat breakfast and

about 20 to 30 min. later take the Iodine. I am keeping the ACV cause I it

helps with the taste.

I started my cycle and I started having problems with iron intake. Not enough

and ran out on a weekend when the health food store was closed. I would lay

down and the room would spin. I also read I was not taking enough. 54 to 72mg a

day. I started with 54mg to see how I feel and think I need to remain with

72mg.

Many times for breakfast I eat kefir and fruit with walnuts. I read something

about milk and Iodine. Do milk product eliminate Iodine? I know one night it

was bothering my stomach and I drank 12oz of milk and pain went away.

Also I take my Calcium and Magnesium at bedtime. A ND I seen told me it will

help with sleep. Cause when I took in AM it made me sleepy.

I take iron54-72mg, selenium 200mcg, B-100(NOW) after I do the 1/2t sea salt.

Since my adrenals are low I do the 1/2t daily. Eat breakfast, wait and do

Iodine with ACV. Then at lunch I take the 3,000mg of Vit. C. I take Vit. D3

1200 morning and bedtime and Vit. E. I am trying to balance this. Just need to

know about the dairy products and Iodine. I read the info. pack. Guess I am

not getting that part.

Thanks,

Deborah

I take ACV with my Lugol's for two reasons. Helps the taste and

helps with my digestion. I could hardly handle the taste of the

Iodine. I rather take ACV in water than Iodine anyday!

LOL,
