RE: I am wondering if iodine is our missing link...Janice, Vicky, , anyone?

[Guest guest]

Liz,

I am no expert, but I have hypothyroidism. (My hair falls out all the time,

but perhaps it is all the hair dye!) I am told Iodine / Salt has something

to do with that, although I cannot provide facts at this time. I am told

people in the North, especially the Great Lakes region have thyroid issues.

( I am origionally from that area.)

Just my brief knowledge of this.

[ ] I am wondering if iodine is our missing

link...Janice, Vicky, , anyone?

Take a look at this study:

http://www.fluoride <http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/brain/idd.html>

alert.org/health/brain/idd.html

Mind you my kids do not suffer from cretenism but here is the deal: in

this study the fluoride in the water is the exact concentration present

in my town water per tthe latest water report. The stuff I gave my kids

up until May allegedly had 3 times that amount. Thyroid stuff at the

time of my daughter's initial hair loss was ruled out but I think it

remains a future concern. Our plan was to test periodically for her, me

and because of the high fluorine concentration of that water and

the remaining high conncentration in what we shower in. Thing is, I

wonder if we should not address iodine. Is there a test? Is it part of

minerals testing? I have yet to address any sort of minerals stuff and

need to since my new water has nothing in it. Anyone know how you know

or test for iodine?

Also, Janice, I put your name up because you have mentioned in the past

Mark craving shellfish, etc. Lastly, I have had reactions to shellfish

and we always assumed that I had an iodine allergy. Hmm...

Daughter's was definitely the fluoride and failed to come in in

certain patches and we have peekaboo body hair. Her case is mild

though compared to the group we deal with. She never went bald. My

hair comes and goes. I have a thick head of it (pun intended) and it

is less coarse with change of diet. Like so many other things none of

us test positive for anything. Do you see why I had to try dietary

stuff. Everyone was sick and the tests showed nothing. I cried when

one doc backed me up. Cried when another one agreed.

Hair dye...are you low in B6? This is my thing: a lot of us moms have

dental stuff, autoimmune stuff, etc. that may be related to our kids

deal. I knew I had stuff that never came up on the tests because it

was a peekaboo thing so whenever the test came I showed up fine (I

usually waited til I felt well enough to get the test). That is why

malabsorption in me and in my kids made sense to chase. My belief is

that my kids need to get well and so do I so we all have the most

time to enjoy each other. Please check this out Colleen. I have

gotten nearly the same labs as my kids and encouraged the same for

hubby. I did not have these babies to leave them or be sick for them

to take care of.

B vitamins are wierd. I did not come back high in B12 but I have

always had a ridiculously high pain tolerance. Plus the tests looked

at the B12 in my blood, not that which was stuck in my likely fatty

liver from all that milk I took in over the years.

B6 is related to hair pigment. I was greying a bit (I have red

hair...high in copper anyone?) and it simply stopped after dietary

change. Convenient.

I am not saying anything wild like you will get your hair color back.

I am just saying take care of yourself so Charlie has his mommy in

tip top shape.

Thanks for the encouragement. I am dedicated to getting my self looking

better. Everyone tells me how tired I look. I am going to my endocrinologist

to get everything checked. Then going to take it to Charlie's DAN! for

alternative advice. I may just also do a saliva thing and have it sent to

Lenandjoe.com. Overkill perhaps, but isnt everthing we have to do to find

the piece of the puzzle.

Just purchased two air filters from Oreck today. A tower and a tabletop. Put

the tabletop in Charlie's room. Threw out the Christmas Tree and hopefully

some of this sensory stuff that has returned will go away. Speech is rockin,

though.

By the way, currently reading the book you suggested. Brain that changes

itself. I am a slow reader. But so far so good!

I feel like is coming around. 2008 will be his year, I bet!
