Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I suffer terribly from acid reflux if I eat certain foods, primarily grains. I do take hydrochloric acid and it helps better than anything, but now you have me curious that maybe I should also be supplementing B12. Thanks for the info.

Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 6:14 PM iodine Subject: Re: Iodoral Thanks Skipper. I don't have acid reflux and don't take anything. I recently had all kinds of tests done, but B12 level was not one of them. I'll bring that up when I go for my appointment. Mahin Many hypothyroid patients have low B12 because their hydrochloric acid in their stomach is low (yet this can cause acid reflux.) Pepcid, nexxium and probably all the drugs for acid reflux are known to interefere with B12 absorption. Has your B12 level been tested to see if that's really the problem?

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Allyn, I had my vitamin levels checked a couple of months ago and I was really low in B12, and that was while on sublingual B12. I had been taking some Zantac for a couple of weeks prior that I'm sure wasn't helping the absorption of foods I was eating, but I was surprised because of the sublingual supplement. I think for anyone that is hypothyroid, it would be a good idea to check on B12.

Reference:- http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000569.htm Also some years ago I was informed by a qualified Herbalist that one needs to take all the B vitamins together to enable any one B vitamin to be absorbed by the body, so in that sense I was advised that it was not so good just to take say one vitamin B, on its own. " Do buy a vitamin with all the B's in it because all the B's work synergistically together.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Debbie:- If you still need a cholesterol med, there is 1 good one out there. My huband almost died from this type drug on top of undiagnosed fatty liver. He now takes a drug (hope I spell this right) cholestermyne. Its a powder he mixes with juice twice a day. Its adifferent type of drug that works and is digested in the intestines not the liver. So the side effects you spoke of are not there. ------------------------------------ Marie:- Many thanks for sharing the above information with me, which is much appreciated, and I am very sorry to hear what also happened to your husband. I am almost certain in my case that those statin drugs were also significantly affecting both my liver and kidneys towards the end, that is before I eventually stopped taking them. As the doctors were not listening to me, and as I was so desperate, I ended up going to see a Chinese herbalist, where as well as acupuncture, I was also prescribed herbal teas, which I had to make myself from the individual bags of prescribed loose herbs. Don't worry about the correct spelling, as I am always having to look up to verify a number of unusual words, especially in relation to medical terms. The correct spelling I have discovered is cholestyramine, and I also found the below article regarding cholestyramine, which you might also find of interest. If I am prescribed a new medicinal drug by my doctor, I now automatically undertake medical research on that particular drug before taking it, as in a nutshell I no longer have the confidence I once had in doctors. One simple way of doing medical research is by typing:- Side effects of .............. in a Google, or , search box, and comparing details provided in appropriate weblinks in order to determine a common consistent underlying theme in order to hopefully confirm accuracy of provided information. Reference:- http://www.medicinenet.com/cholestyramine/article.htm I have noted in my own particular case that my high cholesterol levels have been thyroid related, or related to my hypothyroidism, so in that sense not related to my daily dietary intake of food etc. For example I have noted over many years that my cholesterol levels decrease when my thyroid medication has been increased, or in other words my cholesterol levels go up if my TSH goes up, and vice versa. Also I have had such high readings at odd occasions over the years, which if everything was to be believed regarding high cholesterol levels, I should have been dead long ago. Below is an article titled:- Cholesterol is NOT the Cause of Heart Disease Ron Rosedale, MD Reference:- http://www.goodhealth.nu/News_Articles/Cholesterol_NOT_cause_of_Heart _disease.htm Deciding whether, or not, to take any cholesterol medicinal drug is obviously a matter of personal choice, but where cholesterol medications are concerned I believe that it is yet another example of where drug companies are creating a disease in order to prepare/produce and sell at vast profits the corresponding drug to treat that alleged disease.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I just tried the link, and it looks like it would work fine. It is to the site, and right now they are experiencing a slow down. Lots of my attempts to get on are not working. Try the link again later. Or just go to our group site, by clicking on one of the links below. Zoe Zoe, Your tinyurl link doesn't work anymore. I read your prior post explaining why old links don't work anymore, and that probably explains why this tinyurl.com link doesn't work anymore either.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 wow, it's rare to find a provider who knows about Iodoral. you don't say how much you are taking? you will feel lots better on 25mg 2X a day--are you taking that? I felt very tired for about six weeks in the beginning. I guess that had to do with detox and development of iodine transport system. You have got to get enough naturthroid, how much of that are you taking? Gracia Hi Venizia: Just thought I'd let you know how the recent change to Naturethroid is coming along. It's going to be a bit complicated, since my provider has put me on Iodoral, which I just started this Monday. Well, I felt ok before the Iodoral, now, I feel very hypo. Sluggish, weak, almost weepy with fatigue. I really listened to her and she went to a conference recently where they focused on the iodine question and their findings. I was very reluctant to try this, but, I am because, like all of us, I want to get better and am willing to give this a chance. I understand that in the initial phase of this iodine treatment, that those who feel bad are simply reacting to the toxins being forced out. When I took Norweigian kelp a few years ago, I had the exact same reaction, so, after two weeks, I discontinued it. I learned from my provider that iodine deficiency is also a probable cause of heart pounding episodes, which I also suffer from. I think you might find this helpful, Women's International Pharmacy, in AZ, will compound T3 and T4 to customize a patient's needs. You can call them at (608) 221-7810. The pharmicist I spoke to was named Fee, at least that's the way it sounded on my cell phone. That is the pharmacy where I am getting my Naturethroid from. Of course, you must have a provider to prescribe the meds for you. I was just wondering, if Gracia might have some ideas for those who are weakened when taking the Iodoral. My provider has been taking it for 4 years, she is now taking 4 of them daily. She feels great and does not have mental fog, that's for sure. My provider suggested a 1/2 cup of water with 1/4 tsp Sol Saltz after taking the Iodoral, if the bad side effects occur, followed by an 8 oz glass of water. I hope this helps, Venizia. God bless you.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thx for that, Gracia, I'm looking into the cortef now. The dose on the tabs I have is 12.5 mg per tab, so, I will be increasing it. My provider is taking 4 of them, so, she's been on the 25 mg 2x day for a month or so. At this point, I have to keep trying. I am determined to go forward and be healthier. Thx and I'll keep you posted. Steph Joy :0) -------------- Original message -------------- From: " Gracia " <circe@...> you will have great improvement on Iodoral 25mg 2X a day. This is recommended on the Iodoral insert. heart pounding means you need adrenal meds cortef 5mg 4X a day. Gracia 90mg naturethroid, yes, I'm taking 2 tabs Yes, she is rare--I really trust her. Hard to find a provider you can trust, I know. She wouldn't expect me to do something that she herself would not or is not doing. I just wish that my heart would just beat like a normal heart--this pounding is getting ridiculous--5 years and going now thx Steph -------------- Original message -------------- From: " Gracia " <circe@...> wow, it's rare to find a provider who knows about Iodoral. you don't say how much you are taking? you will feel lots better on 25mg 2X a day--are you taking that?

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 One of the cheapest sources is on www.breastcancerchoices.org . They also take the money they make in " profit " and place it into a fund so that BC patients can get loading tests done. If you want to buy the 50 mg tablets then you will need to go to www.illnessisoptional.com and search by OPTIMOX as the manufacturer. They sell both 12.5 mg and 50 mg tablets and shipping is free over $100. Iodoral > Where can I purchase Iodoral?

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 I too would use kelp if it weren't for the arsenic and heavy metals. I haven't been able to find a kelp supplement that guarantees to be free of toxins. Don't think it exists.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 The iodoral tablet is scored. Easy to split with a pill splitter, probably even with a sharp knife. I started out taking half tablets. Lynn > so the iodoral can be split if you wanted to take > smaller doses? Is it scored?

It sure looks like its the cause of the nose bleeds. Stupid me though can't waste anything, so I'll probably use it until it runs it because I do feel better on it.
