Guest guest Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Have you read the new member document with commonly asked questions. When to take it - before 1 pm as some say it keeps them awake. Skin test - not reliable. Please go to www.optimox.com research and go to the bottom of the list where there is a document about the unreliable results of patch testing. Buist, ND HC Owner / Iodine Group I wish....

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yes i have. I was told that maybe i should n't take it though it may cause detox i can't handle at this time. That is why i asked. BUt yes, i did read it. I read all day long about all my groups and the files. I still don't know if i should take it or not. I have RT3 issues and AF I am told. Well not confirmed on the AF yet but had it 3 yrs ago, and never treated. Am much sicker.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I didn't do any tests because on the nhs and my doctor is already a bit sick of me asking for tests. I just bought iodine and all the stuff and gave it my first shot this morning as everyone says how great it is. I don't know much but I've heard just after or with breakfast is good as apparently it cuts out the risk of aggravating your stomach if it's with food. Also first thing is ideal as apparently you get energy from it to get you through the day. (I did today, my first time).This morning I had my breakfast and straight after mixed my liver flush effervescent tablet with a pint of water, half teaspoon of Celtic salt, half teaspoon of ascorbic acid (vit C) powder, 4 drops of 7% iodine and drank that down straight. Also took my other tablets with it. Some people mix it with grapefruit juice instead of liver flush and water though. Felt more energetic a little while after. Hope that helps.Good luck.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Oh well sorry. I must of. I get about 500 or so e's a day, and am so overwhelmed with all of them. Sory if i missed it. So i don't have to worry about whatever detox i was told to avoid... i guess., since i have no idea why someone told me not to take it right now. Then i will start it tomorrow. In the morning.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011  Bek, Please be sure you are taking the companion nutrients. Magnesium, Selenium,Vitamin C and unrefined Celtic Sea Salt daily while taking iodine. These are all spoken about in the New Member doc., Commonly Asked Questions and Answers. Not everyone experiences detox symptoms, but if you do, then you can do Salt Loading if they occur and this is also talked about in that section. Also important is to make sure you drink plenty of pure water daily. Good luck! Best, Kathleen I wish.... I wish someone would finally let me in on when to take Iodine. I have asked i think before..

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011  Hi Bek, Detoxadine is not the recommended iodine for the Iodine Protocol. Please read Number 1 in our Commonly Asked Questions and Answers. Detoxified iodine will not saturate body tissues and has not been proven to detox the toxic halides such as bromide, fluoride, chloride and mercury as other forms of iodine have. Lugol's in solution form or in tablet form ( Iodoral are the ones we recommend). Best, Kathleen Re: I wish.... I see. Ok, my iodine is called Detoxadine. And it is 3 drops = 2.694mcg. Do you know how many drops i should take? It says take 3 drops a day. But who knows? Thanks,Bek I wish someone would finally let me in on when to take Iodine. I have asked i think before..

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Bek, Have you had saliva tests done to confirm adrenal problems? There are many things that can mimic adrenal symptoms. With RT3 issues, you'd need to address liver detoxing anyway, so it would be a good idea to start some liver support in addition to the iodine.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yes, but i have an idea it will take years to feel better, and not be so exhausted after trying to do anything. Since i have AF, i have to work on it first, my iron is just a tad low. And then the RT3 problem. I have read and read about that and still don't get it. Is so complicated to me. My temp this morning was 96.7 !! WOW.. Wild huh? I haven't gotten my results back from my cortisol but it should be any day now. I sent it off over a week ago. The exhaustion is horrible just horrible, and i lay on the sofa bed all day right after i wake up and move to it from bed. Just want my life back like it was 15 yrs. ago. I felt great back then and lifted weights and walked about 4 miles almost daily.. TOO much i am sure. But the exerciise made me feel so great, the endorphins.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Personally I am fond of Dr. Cabot's liver support products, Livatone Plus, etc. Dr. Schulze also makes a good product, Liver/Gallbladder tonic. When starting with liver detox products, it's always a good idea to start with small doses, the Livatone Plus is recommended to take 4 per day, 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening, but you should start with just 1 capsule and work your way up to the 4. Same with Dr. Schulze's product, start out with lower end of dosage and increase gradually. Glutathione is also very beneficial. Rebounding everyday will help too, even if it's just for 5 minutes, it can make a big difference.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Liver support will help. Amino acids may be low also, correctly those can make a huge difference in energy levels. IOW,a test showing AF isn't going to tell you the cause for the AF. There are plenty of folks out there who jump on the HC bandwagon and find out later that all it turns out to be is a crutch. If you can find the cause, you'll be a lot better off than just treating the symptom.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi Bek, Sometimes working on one thing at a time doesn’t help because it is a symphony of systems in your body. Liver support will help the RT3 problem and can help the fatigue. Plus, the iodine is helping your body detox, if it is all getting stuck in your liver, then it is not clearing out and can give you more detox symptoms, one of them being fatigue. There are many liver support things you can take along with your AF support that is not hard, and will probably help other things improve faster.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi ,I have lots and lots of emails to read because I am a member of quite a few mailing lists. But your question stuck in my mind because sometimes we fail to realize that not everyone is seeing things from the same point of reference. This is a very helpful and informative group. Additionally, the files section has accurate information about what is needed to do the iodine protocol properly. Here is the reader's digest version.You need to take iodine in the morning. If you are taking lugol's solution, then you need to take it with food, as lugol's solution can be upsetting to the stomach. You also need to include companion nutrients as well: unrefined celtic sea salt, selenium, and vitamin C. There might be more, but I remember those by referring to them as "the big three".As for detox symptoms, knowing that this is a sign of the body healing helped me through it. I know it can be scary and uncomfortable, but I tend to look at it like accidentally falling into a hole. Sometimes, the only way out is to go back through the same hole you came through.Some people think that iodine is only for the thyroid. That's like saying that money is only for the banks. Think of the thyroid as the bank of iodine. Virtually everywhere in your body needs iodine. It is absolutely essential for your health. Take your time and please be assured that all the people in this group are more than happy to help you in any way they can.Regards, Bastida From: Donna Iler <Donna@...>Subject: RE: I wish...."iodine " <iodine >Date: Monday, August 22, 2011, 10:36 AM Hi Bek!
