Is castor oil ok as a carrier?It's not the tiredness that's bothering me so much...it's the fogginess and dizziness...it seems worse than a couple of weeks ago.len From: Baker <vbaker@...> iodine Sent: Monday, February 13, 2012 10:12 PM Subject: Re: New member--success stories?

That's great, len. I think you should be painting iodine over the whole treatment area--

be sure to use a carrier oil.

Meanwhile, I don't think it's the iodine making you tired, as you said you were tired before

iodine.

wishing you most well,

i had a bad reaction to the isocort because of the echinacea. is there another good alternative?On Feb 13, 2012, at 10.16 PM, Baker wrote:

You need to treat the adrenal fatigue. I treated both at the same time. Yes, the iodine revs

up your system and that can play up the adrenal exhaustion more, but the solution is NOT to

wait on iodine but to do both. I had been treated for the adrenals by a Functional Medicine,

Integrative MD for a year, with no success to speak of. Then I lost the health insurance that

was making those visits feasible, so I was on my own. I found the iodine protocol, got advice

from folks about adding in adrenal treatment, and the combination is what successfully

treated adrenals.

Of course your adrenals are exhausted after what you've been through.

I added 1200IU of mixed tocopherols Vit E

1 Tablespoon or more per day of unrefined salt

4 to 6 grams of Vit C per day

pregnenolone

Isocort

People have healed their adrenals on the iodine protocol without those last two items, with

just the additional salt and vit C. Or, with just Isocort or other dessicated whole adrenal but

not the pregnenolone (and obviously that's not a good choice for you).
