Could Iodine be the Cause of this Symptom?

[Guest guest]

Hi Group,

I have developed a symptom and wanted to ask if others have had this happen

after starting iodine? I am doing the entire Iodine protocol as recommended

although I am moving very slowly in my increases as I have suspected adrenal

issues and am waiting on my full test results before increasing my iodine and

thyroid medication. I don't want to make myself worse in the attempt to get

better!

In the meantime however I am experiencing a swollen arm and hand on my right

side. In looking this up on Google I find that this could be (or really is most

likely) due to a blocked lymph node. I have bronchitis right now which I was

trying to heal without antibiotics but that wasn't working. Then my hand

started hurting - and so bad I couldn't use it at all - no grasp without severe

pain. So I broke down and went to urgent care. I'm hoping the bronchitis has

caused the lymph node problem, but was wondering if in clearing out toxins maybe

they have got stuck the lymph node. Any ideas out there?

Thanks,

Higgins

This happened to me almost a year into taking iodine, when I was on

an extremely high dosage (well, extremely high for me). You can

find the thread by looking in the archives for my name and a thread

titled something like Not Sure What Happened. My arm was enormous.

If you research lymphedema, you will find that it is incurable,

but I am totally recovered and just fine now, -- just sticking to a

lower dose of iodine.

Could be your detox pathways are clogged - my lymph glands in my neck got very swollen and sore when I started SSKI w/o knowing of it's detox abilities and how to deal with them. I am new at this and I hope one of the other more experienced members jumps in here to help out.

Thanks ,

I appreciate your information. I'm still swollen, but with little pain this am. Now I will set off on my journey of discovery on the internet! =)

Rebounding is good for the lymph system, bouncing on a small trampoline or if

you don't have a trampoline, you can use an exercise ball and just sit and

bounce on that.
