That's right, thank you. That's why it is listed as an optional companion

nutrient, is because a

large number of people need it to start using the iodine optimally. I'd go so

far as to say that

anyone who is unhappy with their iodine protocol results should do the ATP

Co-factors as a

matter of course. You don't have to the buy the convenient product that already

has the

proper amounts all in one but costs a bit more. You can buy the two Bs

separately and take

them that way.

Hi that cold may be bromite or how ever you spell it leaving your body. Did you change your diet by getting white flour and fluoride out of your diet. Hope you see some good results soon.

What have you done to work on your detox pathways, len?

Have you tried taking pregnenolone? It's a hormone precursor so the body can use it to

create what it needs-- steroids-- so estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, adrenals. Some

people think you should be tested first, but I had been tested for adrenals and knew mine

were very very bad. It's also a precursor, not a hormone itself. Anyway just a thought.

But your detox pathways are very important.

len, I know you wanted to see who else didn't see immediate results from iodine protocol. I started 2 week ago and did see huge improvement in well being, energy and my very heavy periods. The last one was the lightest, painless period in years. I was told by my doc that female hormone imbalance, fibroids, cysts and especially endometriosis can cause heavy bleeding. I had very heavy periods for years until I was diagnosed with endo. I'm taking progesterone which helped me with my periods although not as much as iodine. Also being hypo thyroid causes heavy periods.Sent from my iPadOn Feb 13, 2012, at 6:47 PM, "Linn" <mwm1glm@...> wrote:

You can Google â€œbioidentical hormone therapy+doctorsâ€ to see if any show up in your area.Â More and more MDs are becoming open to bioidentical hormone therapy.Â Serum testing is very inaccurate when it comes to sex hormones.Â You can order saliva testing kits over the Internet that you can perform in the comfort of your own home.

Also, those with cancer will always need therapeutic dosages of just about all supplements they are taking since the body and immune system are not in healthy mode but in â€œhelpâ€ mode. And with cancer, it will take the body time before noticeable improvements come about. Persistence, patience and determination are the keys. Think of your protocol as being synergistic in that everything is working together rather than depending on one supplement, modality, etc. to make the difference.You may actually need some bioidentical hormone therapy. I would suggest getting under the care of a practitioner who is knowledgeable about bioidentical hormones and cancer and one who uses saliva testing. If your hormones are not balanced, then it will be difficult for the body to heal. I would also suggest doing research about adrenals. I have never seen someone with cancer that did not have adrenal issues. Unfortunately, much of conventional medicine will not even recognize adrenal concerns. Hopefully you are addressing your liver and digestive tract with detoxification methods. For someone with cancer, it would be wise to perform liver/gallbladder/digestive tract cleansing at least 1x each month for about six months and one time during the beginning of each season. More, if needed. Parasite cleansing is also important. I would also suggest daily rebounding in order to keep the lymph system movingâ€¦.3.5 minutes in the morning and 3.5 minutes in the evening is all that is needed. However, rebounding is a great overall exercise.By the way, ozonated water was part of the protocol that I did for stage three colon cancer. We called it â€œsuper-charged waterâ€ to which we also added DMSO.Last, but not least, you may want to check out Dr. and the use of pancreatic enzymes.

What have you done to work on your detox pathways, len? Have you tried taking pregnenolone? It's a hormone precursor so the body can use it to create what it needs-- steroids-- so estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, adrenals. Some people think you should be tested first, but I had been tested for adrenals and knew mine were very very bad. It's also a precursor, not a hormone itself. Anyway just a thought.But your detox pathways are very important.--moderatorOn 13 Feb 2012 at 8:49, len Ramsey wrote:> > > > After reading all the success stories, I am a little depressed.

Hi,I'm glad that iodine helped you. Wow in only 2 weeks! I've been having heavy bleeding for 20 years, but no diagnosis yet. No endo, fibroids etc. I tried progesterone...no luck. I'm wondering if my problem might be adrenals.len From: Agnes <agnes9971@...> "iodine " <iodine > Cc:

len, I know you wanted to see who else didn't see immediate results from iodine protocol. I started 2 week ago and did see huge improvement in well being, energy and my very heavy periods. The last one was the lightest, painless period in years. I was told by my doc that female hormone imbalance, fibroids, cysts and especially endometriosis can cause heavy bleeding. I had very heavy periods for years until I was diagnosed with endo. I'm taking progesterone which helped me with my periods although not as much as iodine. Also being hypo thyroid causes heavy periods.Sent from my iPadOn Feb 13, 2012, at 6:47 PM, "Linn" <mwm1glm@...> wrote:

len,

For the extreme bleeding issue have you had sex hormones checked?

No, len, with your health history you shouldn't take the pregnenolone. You

really need to

consult with someone in detail about how to approach your care. You might

consider a

consult with Steph.

but I will say that the reason you're not having a strong response to the iodine

is the ca dx.

That's taking it out of you and as I noted yesterday, when there are tissues

that need to be

dissolved, that's a lot greater problem than a more purely metabolical

imbalance.

But you should keep taking the iodine, in large doses. Have you looked at the

website

www.breastcancerchoices.org ?? Even if you don't have br ca, the iodine and

alternatives

they talk about are important.

No not at all. I just addressed some of your questions in a previous email.
