RE: OT-Possible Liver Issues

Cheri,

Okay, I'll bite...what did your tongue and eyes look like when you had

parasites?

On the iodine, I know a lot of people here use Lugol's or Iodoral. I'm using

something from Standard Process called Iodomere. Here's a link describing it.

When I took Iodoral, it was too strong for me. Here again I'm a sensitive

person!

I like that Standard Process is dedicated to producing whole food supplements

and I like their low heat, vaccuum method of processing supplements to avoid

damaging the nutrients contained therein. I think GOL has the same standards

too which will be a good compliment to my regimen although it is presently on

hold.

I've not had my goiter examine since it was first discovered in 05. I saw two

endos who refused to treat sub-clinical hyopT and have been on my own since

then. Treating my hypoT has helped me recover my loud voice...like at a

sporting event or concert when you must talk above normal levels to be heard by

the person standing next to you...I used to lose my voice within the first ten

minutes and it stayed gone until the next morning. Not much fun.

Also, even though I no longer eat it, I regained my ability to swallow peanut

butter! LOL It's the little things in life that make a difference, right?

Well, there is definitely hope with the fibro. So as bad as it is for you

right now, know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Have you read

the book, From Fatigue to Fantastic? It has some good info in it. I used to

buy them and give them as gifts to people.

I won't use GOL products, particularly not the ones that contain " soil

organisms " as many consider those harmful. I would definitely recommend

you do some more research before using that product. Plus I do not like

the company at all, having had a bad experience with them.

I wasn't going to say anything, but found I could not keep silent. I

know many people swear by the company and its products, but I also have

read the " other side " of concerns with them.

just my personal 2 cents,

Could you elaborate, Sol? I love their products and have never heard that

soil organisms are bad as long as they are taken from a good source, which

GOL does. All I know is their probiotics have worked wonders for me, and I

tried a lot of brands before them.

My only complaint is I wish they were cheaper.

Unfortunately, I can't elaborate without cross-posting emails without

permission. Do a google. Some of the negative comments on these products

came to me from the Candidiasis list if memory serves. I'm on so many

lists I do forget where I read what.

In my personal case, the company lied to me about what is in their

product(s), and got rather nasty when I pressed and finally got the

truth. I was not rude nor confrontive in my emails to them nor was I

aggressive or confrontational, I just pressed for accurate information,

there was NO reason for them to get angry with me, but they did.

I stated the results of my own reading, email info I have encountered

from people I do trust to know what they are speaking of, and my own

experience with that company. You might read everything I have and still

come up with the opposite opinion. Everyone has a right to their own

opinion, and I just stated mine. Do with it what you will. But I felt an

obligation to get it out there that these products are not universally

admired, and some consider them risky if not actually dangerous.

I tried googling and found nothing. Can you at least give some search terms

to google? Thanks, Cheri
