Re: Potassium and adrenals

hi steph, i don't know much about the potassium but i had a feeling that you

might feel a little ill after taking the lugols. i think you should come to an

understanding that there isn't anyway around feeling bad before getting well (

herx ?). you have so much to deal with. lugols iodine doesn't mess around. when

you take it, it starts killing stuff as soon as it enters your mouth. i may be

wrong but i think it maid you feel bad because of all the critters it was

killing...when you start killing critters i don't see how you can keep from

feeling bad. maybe there is something you can take to counter the effects of

potassium.

now steph.... your killing me here..lol.

i like the idea of that diet you talked about on another post, which is probably

pretty close to what i was going to suggest next. i've had dogs in the past that

developed skin problems as in demodex mange.. this is caused by a weakened

immune system for whatever reason. vet's say it's hereditary and give you poison

to dip them in. my experience is that rarely that works as the poison further

weakens the dog. i ran across some info that essentially said to get rid of the

demodex which is a bunch of mites that feed off of yeast you have to take away

thier food.... the yeast. most dog foods are mostly corn or grain. anyway to

cure demodex you take the dog off of commercial dog food and feed a raw meat

diet... sometimes it takes awhile but has worked for me 100% of the time. so i

wonder as i don't know much about this candida is exactly what does it feed

on... can the source of it's food be known and eliminated from you diet. i saw a

raw food video last year where they took approx 30 people that had diabeties...

took them to a health camp.. resort of some sort out in the middle of nowhere.

for 30 days they ate nothing but raw fruit and vegetables ( organic ).. the

first couple of weeks they were exhibiting symtoms of drug addicts.. very

hostile, wanting to quit, screaming, crying, really bad... about week three they

started getting better and most were already off of insulin, at the end all were

off of injections, most had lost lots of weight as most were over weight in the

beginning. i wonder if this would work for you and other candida sufferers. no

bread, no sugar, no dips, no chips, no alcohol... just raw fruits and vegetables

& water.

Potassium and adrenals

I discovered awhile back when I was taking a lot of potassium which was

mixed in a magnesium product I was taking, that when you have low

adrenals, potassium suppresses them even more. As a consequence of

that, for a long time I did not get much sleep (six months) and felt

like someone was chocking me when I would lay down and felt a nasty

pressure on my heart and like the blood was putting pressure on my face.

It was a horrible feeling. Finally, just in time to save myself I

discovered it was the potassium causing the problem because I had taken

too much unkowingly.

Yesterday I cautiously took ONE SWALLOW of the 6 drops of lugols in a

glass of water. I did not feel good after I drank the swallow so I

waited a few hours. I seemed to recover by noon so I mixed one drop

of lugals in a cup of water and drank all of it. BIG MISTAKE. I am

not allergic to iodine, or at least I never was before I got so sick.

But I know I can never take it again as recovery was slow and the

reaction was awful. I had the same reaction only much worse as I was

having to too much potassium.

I notice that the bottle says potassium iodide. Does this mean that

the iodine has potassium added or is iodine a type of postassium or

what? I did not expect to react that way at all. It has been 24

hours since I took it and I still have a nausiating headache and pain in

my neck glands. I am trying to figure out what happened here with the

iodine. Maybe someone on here knows a little bit about iodine and can

help me figure this out.

Also I would like to know if someone here knows why and how potassium

suppresses adrenals??? Or did I misunderstand something I read about

this awhile back?

Is there any way to build up extremely low adrenals without taking cow

adrenals? Is magnetic therapy for that safe, does anyone know? I

have some very good DVDs about magnetic therapy but there is so much to

remember and I am not sure I trust this since it is not talked about

very much. The two people that did the DVD are both deceased and I

have to wonder if they died from too much exposure to magnets. Anyway,

I have to say they are some of the most interesting DVDs I have ever

seen. I am just scared of the idea because there are no long term

studies that I have heard about concerning this. Anyone on here

familiar with magnetic therapy? Am wanting to use it to help my

adrenals, but scared of screwing up and making things worse.
