Help with detox

[Guest guest]

Hi Ladies,

I am day three of no sugar in my diet. I feel extremely exhausted and

brain fogged. I did not have a problem with brain fog until now. I do

not feel flu like, just lethargic. I am going to work, but am useless,

cannot concentrate. I drive 50 minutes each way to work on my commute

and do not feel like I am with the progam. I cannot take anytime off

of work right now since I am taking a week off in November for my

explant. I am aware of the " die off " but am concerned about my wits

especially driving. Should I see a difference soon? Any suggestions on

how I can be more " with it " ?

Thanks

Cherie

Hi Katy,Two days ago, Jagrati posted that edema was occurring with the Himalyan salt but switching to Celtic salt has given no problems. Have you tried the iodine protocol with a different unrefined salt than the pink salt?

Hi everyone,

I have tried Iodoral now three times in the past two years. I can take 12.5 mg but no way can I up to 25 mg. I get bad bromine detox symptoms that morph each time I try iodine again. The first summer I tried iodine was the summer of outrageous acne. Then came anxiety. Now I am attempting Iodoral again at 12.5 mg and my breasts are killing me.

I use the companion nutrients and pink salt everyday. I also use fish oil and a ton of probiotics for candida. I use Gut enzymes and liquid minerals. I occassionally will use a natural anti candida product like oregon grape or the french one that starts with " p "

I have salt loaded several times and it just makes me swell.

I have a thyroid that functions on the low end of normal but haven't had labs in a couple of years. I went through hyshi's with each childbirth period.

The worse part is the anxiety. It is completely debilatating. I have obsessive worrisome thoughts that make me quit the Iodine protocol knowing full well it's probably what I need.

Anyone relate to this? What am I doing wrong? What am I doing right?

Thanks In advance, Katy Mc

Hello Katy,

I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well. By pink salt, do you Himalayan salt? There have been some reports that this type of salt is high in fluoride. I don’t know if that is true or not, but I won’t use Himalayan as I am not going to take a chance that it is . The two unrefined sea salts we recommend on the Iodine Protocol are unrefined Celtic Sea Salt and Redmonds Real Salt. Try one of these and see how you do. About kelp, you don’t want to use kelp! Most kelp is contaminated with arsenic and other toxins. Lugol's is the iodine recommended, either in solution form or tablets (Iodoral). have you tried pulse dosing? for example, taking your iodine 5 days a week, not taking it on weekends. It would be important for you to have some blood tests: FreeT3 and FreeT4 are important to have measured. You say your thyroid functions on the low end of normal, this is not good. Most feel best when the Free T's are mid or high range. Your obsessive worrisome thoughts could be related to your adrenals. Have you done adrenal testing?

Just some thoughts for you to chew on!

Kind regards,

Kathleen

Re: Help with detox

Katy,I can answer this one. You are starting at WAY too high of a dosage and your body is WAY too toxic. I suggest you start with 1-250mcg kelp tablet a day, and slowly titrate 1 more kelp tablet a week until you get to 6 a day. Reduce dosage if any detox symptoms for a week, then titrate back up.Then switch to 2% Lugols Iodine at 1 drop per day, and slowly titrate one extra drop each week. Reduce dosage if any detox symptoms appear. You will eventually get to 50mg daily with minimal detox symptoms. When you get to 50mg daily, swith to 5% iodine for titrating to higher levels - 1 drop at a time.This worked well for me,Grizz>> Hi everyone,> > I have tried Iodoral now three times in the past two years.

Yes, we don't recommend using kelp as the iodine supplement.

If you want to start at really low doses, and I agree that is a good idea, you

can

take 2% Lugol's, and put 1 drop in a 8 ounces of water. If you drink 2 ounces,

that will give you 625mcg (less than 1 mg). if you drink 1 ounce, that gives

you

312mcg. Cover the container with the liquid you've made up, maybe put it in the

refrigerator to avoid evaporation.

The solution, when people are having strong detox reactions to even 12.5mg, is

to use Lugol's and start extremely low doses, let each dose level sit for a week

or more, and increase in tiny increments.

hope this helps. If you need more assistance with diluting a drop of Lugol's,

just

let me know.

Thanks everyone for your help. I have considered adrenal testing but now will probably go ahead with it. I will get my thyroid retested. Not really sure what to specifically ask for. I will go back and read the files again.

Thanks everyone., Katy Mc
