Guest guest Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Someone asked about figuring out which companion nutrients to buy. Below is my list of companions as an example of how little one can spend to do the Iodine Protocol. ----------------------------- You need the companion nutrients to help the iodine be used properly in your body and to assist with detox. Below is a post I wrote up that gives sources for things that I buy: Vit C, Ester C: $18.85 for 90 days at 2000mg/day (minimum requirement) Magnesium glycinate: $16.40 for 90 days worth at 400mg/day Selenium l-selenomethionine: $9.00 for 100 days worth at 100mcg/day (min.) Real Salt unrefined salt: $5.69 for 26 ounces, 6 months worth That totals out to be $49.94 for 3 months worth of the companion nutrients, plus the unrefined salt will last for 6 months. That is not expensive, although I understand that it can be hard to come up with the money to start with. Vitacost, the supplier with these prices/products, has a flat shipping fee of $4.99 for any amount. But if you buy over $49 worth, shipping is free. So the above order (links below) would get free shipping. I would suggest adding perhaps the liquid Vit D3 drops ($10), which is 900 doses of 2000IU D3, because it's such a great deal on D3. Anyway, just a suggestion. I am big on finding the best deals. --------------LIST----------- Ester C is one of the best, most bioavailable Vit C to buy. It stays in circulation in the body for 24 hours. It's $18.85 for 180 tablets of 1000mg, which you'd take 2 a day for the minimum dose, so that's 90 days worth. http://www.vitacost.com/American-Health-Ester-C-with-Citrus-Bioflavono ids-1000- m\ g-180-Vegetarian-Tablets Here is the magnesium I am using right now-- mag glycinate does not have the laxative effect that other forms of mag have. Two tablets makes 400mg magnesium, which means the bottle is a 90-day supply. http://www.vitacost.com/Kal-Magnesium-Glycinate-400 You also need selenium and the methyl form is best. Here is an good deal, it's 50 to 100 days' worth, depending on whether you take 1 or 2 caps a day: http://www.vitacost.com/Life-Extension-Se-Methyl-Selenocysteine You also need unrefined salt, and the brand Real Salt is the least expensive in the USA. You can order that at Vitacost: http://www.vitacost.com/Redmond-RealSalt-Natures-First-Sea-Salt-Fine-S alt You can also buy Celtic Sea Salt from Vitacost, just search for it. In addition to taking a certain amount each day, you and all your family will use only unrefined salt in all your cooking. Also, if you have detox symptoms, you will do what is called " salt loading " which helps the body wash out the toxins that are causing the symptoms (can be headaches, sleepiness, irritability, many things). This is the best D3 that I have found-- cheapest by far and easiest to take. It is simply D3 and olive oil, and 1 drop is 2000iu D3. There are 900 drops in the bottle, for $10. Very easy for anyone to take. http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Liquid-Vitamin-D-Drops-2000-IU-900-serving s There is also a lower-dose drop for children, 900 servings of 400iu for $9.00: http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Baby-Ds-Liquid-Vitamin-D-Drops So you need unrefined salt, magnesium, selenium, and Vitamin C, plus the iodine source. Vit D3 is excellent to add because it's so important for healing and health. The least expensive source of Lugol's (by far) is on ebay. Lugol's is almost impossible to find at regular stores or pharmacies, and it's usually a lot more expensive. This seller is trustworthy, I have bought from him. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lugols-solution-4-fl-oz-2-2-iodine- /320674963885?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 & hash=item4aa9b7a1ad Another trustworthy ebay seller of Lugol's is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-oz-Lugol-s-Solution-Lugols-2-2-Iodine-Soluti on- /200641054355?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 & hash=item2eb7238693 hope this helps, -- ------- End of forwarded message ------- 1 of 1 File(s) WPM$4890.PM$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Greetings to All. In following 's links I had a bit of trouble, details: This is out of stock today: > Here is the magnesium I am using right now-- mag glycinate does not > have the laxative effect that other forms of mag have. Two tablets > makes 400mg magnesium, which means the bottle is a 90-day supply. > http://www.vitacost.com/Kal-Magnesium-Glycinate-400 No big deal except as it affects the shipping costs... Celtic Sea Salt at Vitacost did not turn up no matter how I searched for it. (Himalayan salt did though, in abundance.) The link for this: > This is the best D3 that I have found-- cheapest by far and easiest > to take. It is simply D3 and olive oil, and 1 drop is 2000iu D3. > There are 900 drops in the bottle, for $10. Very easy for anyone to > take. > http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Liquid-Vitamin-D-Drops-2000-IU-900-serving May have changed, and I found it at: http://www.vitacost.com/Vitacost-Vitamin-D-Drops Hopefully this is the same formulation as suggested ? Thanks, and Best Wishes ! mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I don't know what that attachment is, Mark, I don't know where it came from. Just ignore it, there is no info in it in any case. -- On 2 Jan 2012 at 22:37, smallhagridinvt wrote: > Thanks for posting all that great info ! > A very good plan to follow and even attractive enugh pricing > considering it lasts at least 90 days. > > One question though - what the heck is 'WPM$7ECE.PM$' supposed to be ? > This attachment is not of any file type that I know how to open...? > > Thanks, and Best Wishes. > > mark > > PS: > The ebay seller I'd posted about a while back is definitely OK (from > my experience getting a quart @ $60), though a bit slow.
