Guest guest Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Angie, you are using seasalt, and not refined iodized salt. Half a teaspoon is the bestus dose.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 People treating adrenals are taking 1 Tablespoon and more of unrefined salt, I did it and it resulted in 30 pound weight loss. So please don't assume that 1/2 tsp is the right dose for people with adrenal issues. It may not be. The suggested amount is 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp. for the IODINE PROTOCOL. The suggested amount of treatment of adrenals is 1 TABLESPOON and more per day. Did you start taking magnesium at the same time? The magnesium is probably the reason for the diarrhea, not the unrefined salt. I have NEVER heard of someone getting diarrhea from the unrefined salt. I didn't get adrenal results until I took a small amount of Isocort daily, plus added pregnenolone daily. I did 1200 IE of mixed tocopherol Vit E a day, plus extra Vit C and at least 1 TABLESPOON of salt every day. (Plus the other iodine companions and iodine.) My adrenals improved rapidly. As far as whether anything you can notice changing: The Traditional Chinese Medicine view of time for healing is that the longer you've been ill, the longer it takes to get well. I think the ratio is something like 1 year of healing for every 7 or 12 years of illness, something like that. I'm sorry but I can't remember and can't find a reference for it. But the point is, you are healing, it's just changing things inside you. Please don't minimize the effect of having your goiter shrink. When your thyroid stops working correctly, it affects all the other systems of the body because your metabolism no longer works how the other systems are set up to work. --V -- On 21 Sep 2011 at 19:44, dAVId wrote: > > > > Angie, you are using seasalt, and not refined iodized salt.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 , I was making a salt sole of himalayan salt and scooping a teaspoon of the soaked salt at the bottom instead of the sole produced at the top. I was drinking it first thing in the morning when I awoke and after driving to work (1 hour), I would have diarrhea. After I read to only drink the sole part (mixture of salt and water and not mostly salt), I did this and then I didn't get the diarrhea. Kathy T.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi Angie, I also got severe diarrhea of salt. Since I take a lot of gelatin to me I have no more diarrhea, I even can tolerate magnesium chloride. I dissolve the gelatin in water-diluted fruit juice and eat that a couple of hours later, when it is firm. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi Angie, 1. It sometimes is frustrating to not see great changes! Remember that iodine is a nutrient, you are feeding your body something that is necessary for many processes in your body. You may not see changes, but you are stocking up and preventing further breakdown of your body for now and the future. Hang on to the thought of future health, even when you don’t see changes now. How long have you had the goiter? It can take a while to heal, and some people have had the damage so long it might not shrink. More importantly, if it is not continuing to grow, it is not getting worse, so the iodine is helping. I have been taking iodine about 3 years now, and I can’t tell you any great healing stories, but when I look back, I now see many things that did change in my general health, just were gradual. Mostly, I can handle life much better, not so crabby and touchy, feel good, enjoying life, and my family is even less sick in general than we were before starting iodine. But that is not a really noticeable thing, especially to those I would like to introduce to iodine. Think of other things that are like that. Exercising everyday helps us be healthy, but doesn’t always give dramatic results. But it is still best to do it. 2. Maybe instead of taking the second ½ tsp all at once, you can stretch it out. Mix it in water with some lemon and honey and drink throughout the day, or leave some in a cup on the table and take a pinch and eat it every time you walk by, something like that. Have a couple of snacks each day that you can dip into salt – cucumbers, celery, tomatoes. It doesn’t matter how you get it, just that you do. Smaller doses may help you. Don’t be discouraged! Remember that doing the best things for your health are right whether you see drastic changes or not. Healing and maintaining good health is the goal. Donna in IL Hi, everyone. I've been taking iodine for just over a year, and, after a couple of liver cleanses, was able to get up to almost 100mg/day. I take all the companion nutrients and salt. My questions: 1. Why doesn't it seem to be doing anything I can notice? My doc thinks my goiter has shrunk down, but only the upcoming ultrasound will be able to tell. But it doesn't seem to be doing anything else for me. I'm jealous of all the people on here who claim huge life improvements just from the iodine. 2.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 For the iodine supplementation, it is ½ tsp per day in addition to liberally sprinkling on food.For adrenal fatigue, it is 1 TBSP per day in addition to liberally sprinkling on food. It is hard to know how much you actually use on food, unless you measure out the amount in advance, and put it on food from that measure. But you can take it anyway you want, in water, in capsules, throw it in your mouth like pills and wash down with water, dip your finger in it and eat it, however it works for you! I would break the tablespoon into smaller portions, not trying to take it all at one time.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 What I have ended up doing is adding the Celtic salt to all of my drinking water at the approximate rate of a quarter teaspoon for every 12 oz or so. Helps my shot adrenals keep going and also overall hydration. Now, water without salt in it does not taste right to me.Seems that putting a TBSP all at once in a small glass would be a bit much. For me at least it seems to work better to have it consistently in all my water, which I drink quite a bit of.I still use liberally on food, as well.Judy They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions everybody. At least I know I am not the only one getting diarrhea from the salt. I have a very broken-down and oversensitive digestive system these days (pre-iodine as well), so it doesn't take much to give me diarrhea. I did not seem to be getting it just from the magnesium. It's really quite dramatic when it happens... rushing to the bathroom, etc. Really like the liver cleanse. I'm not sure how I'll get a full tablespoon of salt into myself, oyyyyy, but it's good to know I was wayyyy under where I should be. These adrenals need to heal.thanks, AngieOn Sep 22, 2011, at 3:53 AM, Baker wrote: People treating adrenals are taking 1 Tablespoon and more of unrefined salt, I did it and it resulted in 30 pound weight loss.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I put a teaspoon of salt into a 12-16 oz glass of water 3 times a day,plus used a LOT on my food. I feel sorry for people who don't like the taste, but I do. But no, I wouldn't put a Tablespoon in 8 ounces-- that would be WAY too much. I split it up. But yes, the supplement amount that is part of the iodine protocol? That's supposed to be 1/2 to 1 tsp per day PLUS liberal use on food. So no, just using it on food really isn't enough. You literally want measure it out and either put it in water or in empty gel capsules and down them in 2-3 doses. Some people do put their salt supplement amount in whatever amount of water that is their daily goal to drink, and then drink that all day long. I think that's very smart and I want to be doing that myself. It's a two-fer-- you get your salt and you ensure you get your full water ration each day. Long before I found the iodine protocol, I was using unrefined salt for years, and putting a pinch of it in each glass of water. It helps the body utilize the water more. -- On 22 Sep 2011 at 12:55, PB wrote: > > > > Question on this - do you just mix 1 TBSP of sea salt into an 8 > oz glass of water and drink it each day?

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I thought I'm taking enough salt but a tablespoon daily! I don't think I'm close to that yet. I've been worried what is too much. but my hair mineral analysis shows two major points low zinc, high copper and low sodium to potassium ratio , can you tell what brands you took and where does the mention of TCM come from. I'm weaning off HC right now and will start TCM to fix adrenals. Would be nice to hear any experiences. Susa > > > > Hi, everyone.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 That be my problem, instead of taking it all at once, I need to space it out over the day.great, thanks V, I am enlightened. My body seems to really like seasalt, david lubbock tx.

I feel sorry for people who don't like the taste, but I do. But no, I wouldn't put a Tablespoon in 8 ounces-- that would be WAY too much. I split it up. But yes, the supplement amount that is part of the iodine protocol? That's supposed to be 1/2 to 1 tsp per day PLUS liberal use on food. So no, just using it on food really isn't enough. You literally want measure it out and either put it in water or in empty gel capsules and down them in 2-3 doses. Some people do put their salt supplement amount in whatever amount of water that is their daily goal to drink, and then drink that all day long. I think that's very smart and I want to be doing that myself. It's a two-fer-- you get your salt and you ensure you get your full water ration each day. Long before I found the iodine protocol, I was using unrefined salt for years, and putting a pinch of it in each glass of water. It helps the body utilize the water more. -- On 22 Sep 2011 at 12:55, PB wrote: > > > > Question on this - do you just mix 1 TBSP of sea salt into an 8 > oz glass of water and drink it each day?

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 To make it simple, any salt you buy in a regular grocery store is with chlorine, incl. the new ones coming out that say they're sea salt---processed sea salt.....You want a natural salt, and a natural salt is colored---usually grey or pink, sometimes other colors depending on the region it comes from.....I use pink himilayan salt, others use natural grey sea salt......You can get it in a health food store or on the internet--Amazon or Vita Cost are good choices----put in Natural or sea salt into their search engines....Here's a link to the search on Amazon----http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_12?url=search-alias%3Dgrocery & field-keywords=natural+salt & sprefix=natural+saltI like the pink Himalayan crystals from Swanson---Personally I don't like the moistness of Celtic Salt, and the Himalayan tastes saltier....Love it!!Blessings, Margaret> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Thank you. My "Male" friend is confined to a nursing home and being "Male" he forms his own ideas and does not always listen to me. I am trying to help him improve his life. I will pass this on to him. Baker wrote: Teddy-- Your friend doesn't know what she is talking about. Real Salt is whole, unrefined salt. Unrefined salt has the SAME EXACT mineral profile as that of our blood. The percentage of sodium is the percentage we are supposed to have in our blood. When salt is refined, it's only that 2-3% that is removed, but it is crucial. Unrefined whole salt must say "UNREFINED" on the label or "WHOLE" on the label to be real. The term "sea salt" can refer to many things, including refined salt, which is bleached and heat treated. So the term "sea salt" is not enough. And P.S., Redmond's REAL SALT is on the list of unrefined, whole salt. Celtic sea salt is another. There are a number of different ones, so no there is no master list. -- On 23 Sep 2011 at 22:53, margretdzn wrote: > > Question about REAL SALT (brand name) from REDMOND: > > I have used this salt for a number of years and just recently gave > > some to a friend who says that 98.32% Sodium Chloride is too much!

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I care a lot. He was injured in a bad fall 10 1/2 years ago and became a paraplegic at age 55 instantly. . Now he is a victim of our horrible medical/health system. Fortunately he bows out of most of it. But he suffers and being a man, he does not listen well. He is a genius and well read and well-spoken, but lacks common sense at times. I cannot get him to try LDN for very long but he does seem to be paying some attention to what I have shared about Iodine. I have another good friend who is also without any medical insurance (not that it would do much good in most cases. We all live in Appalachia where the service is not good anyway. I am doing my best to help others while I still have a lot to learn myself. This list (and a few others) give me great hope. I have an "angry" sister...messed up life, with money, and she, too is having problems. I guess if I do not care about anyone else I would have nothing. Thank you all for being there!
