Success Story

[Guest guest]

It would be really encouraging to hear more from folks who have had great sucess with thr and have gone back to activepain-free lives.. Come on, let's hear from you since Iknow that is the more common outcome.. it would reallybe good for those of us who are about to enter the thr zone.

All righty then. I have a left hip, over a year old; a right knee, 14 months old; and a left knee, 10 months old. Not one of them is hurting me. My legs feel strong and sturdy. I can walk across a room without using the furniture for support. My balance is back, I can duck when a thing is coming at me unexpectedly. I can get in and out of a car and a van; and I am smiling. I am age 73 and overweight. And just yesterday, I bought a pair of fussy, frilly shoes to go with my Mother's Day dress. Would you believe that this is the first time in fifteen years that I do not have to wear Granny orthotic shoes?

By the way, my surgeon is smiling, too!

Love and hugs to you all.

Hey Faye glad to see you about. There was a lady at the local chinese food place that was heavier. I went in and she looked fabulous and I asked her how is she doing it. Exactly what you said smaller everything and NO eating after 7 pm period. Only water.

I am going through such a good time here, too. My 12 yo daughter has

struggled so much but this week she watched Harry Potter (to hard for her until

now)

and she hasn't counted for over a week. She was ab

That's so great! Can I asked what changed? Did you use meds or therapy

of any kind?

I'm so happy you all have your life back!

What wonderful news! Thanks for sharing it with the group. It gives me hope

that things actually CAN get better! We are at a very low point right now with

our daughter, so I will hang onto your story to pump up my spirits.

Hi to the group - I have good news - my 13 year old is so much better!!

I feel like we've gone through the wringer but finally I see so much

progress. I can start to breathe again. I wanted those of you to

know who are suffering through this that there is light at the end of

the tunnel. Our daughter was terrified of germs, had contamination

issues galore. She would not let us touch her for months, nor her

room or laundry. I had to stay about 4 feet away from her. We are

hugging now daily, she is carrying her little sister around, snuggling

our cats (we got her a kitten, I think it really helped) I do her

laundry again, she will eat from a plate and use a fork I've touched.

She opens doors, she will sit without putting down paper

towels or napkins. She is even exchanging clothes with kids from

school. She's going to school! Wow- her shower is down to about 10-15

minutes from over 3 hours. She is washing her hands a normal amount

of time. It's like a switch was turned. She doesn't dwell for hours

now about germs from a fly landing on her, or that I brushed against

someone at the market that looked dirty. I am so thankful and I know

that OCD is something we will probably deal with for her lifetime, but

right now, it is good to report some positive news. Hang in there

everyone, it does get better!

Hi Imogene - yes it will get better! Just be sure to take care of

yourself too so you can nurture your family. I feel like I don't do

enough of that, everything revolves around her and we all suffer when

I am so wiped out. But it does get better - hold on to that. God

bless you all!

Hi Dina - to answer your questions

Yes, we did put her on Lexapro, 10mg a pretty small dose

therapeutically but it seems to be doing the trick. We also are

seeing a therapist - who actually got out of my daughter that a lot of

the OCD was manipulation. She definitely has OCD - but she would use

it to get out of chores, etc. Once we started insisting that she do

her part she got really bad, but we held the line and she started to

do her part and as that happened the anxiety started to dissipate. By

creating a boundary where she knew the rules she relaxed. I guess

this goes along with the not enabling part of therapy. But frankly I

was surprised with the change. I mean we had days where she would

worry for hours about a contamination, could not use a fork I touched

or worry that someones pee landed on her. She wouldn't help at all

around the house, was completely immobilized. But she would make huge

messes in the bathroom - flooding it with all the wash water, go

through a whole bar of Ivory and there would be soap suds everywhere,

and I had to clean all that up. We just put our foot down, took away

privileges, and day by day it's getting better. Now she will eat

anything I make, use the silverware, she was letting her cat in the

other day and fidgeting with all the locks and knobs trying to open

the door and didn't even hesitate with touching them. Also - I

believe that she is getting settled in our new community and that has

lessened the anxiety. We moved from the house she had always known

for 13 years and that is what really made the OCD skyrocket. She had

it for about 1 1/2 years before but kept it pretty hidden. Once the

move was imminent and she told us she had OCD it got out of control.

Hope that helps you! Have a great day!

[Guest guest]

Hi - I wrote a long reply to another member but in a nutshell -

we got a good therapist and put her on Lexapro (10mg). Also she is

starting to settle in to our new community and that is helping her

relax. My husband and I both are trying to keep a firm line in the

sand about what is expected of her and although it may sound

threatening to someone with OCD it seems to have helped her. We

stopped enabling her. It is very hard to do though - as her mom I

just did not want her to suffer, so I would do everything for her.

Once that stopped and we insisted she do her part it got really bad,

then she accepted it and everything else changed. I mean initially,

we would not open the car door for her, now she is touching all the

doors. We insisted she clean up after herself in the common areas

(couch, kitchen) now she is cleaning her room. It's now perfect, she

still is lazy about doing it, needs remeinders, but she does touch the

stuff and deal with it. She is also a hormonal teen and all the

normal resistance to doing what your parents say is surfacing. But

she seems happier too - hanging out with us, singing to us, watching

her little sister for hours and playing. I am still holding my breath

a bit and really praying that we are oer the worst but I know it can

be a roller coaster ride. I hope this helps you - have a great day!

Hi Everybody,I have not posted for a long time and just want you all to know that after a year and more than a half on the iodine protocol, my nodule on my thyroid has finally reduced in size! I have lost 21 lbs in weight and I have managed to get rid of a large mole on my temple. My adrenals are back to normal too. This has all been due to iodine.In May I went up to 100mg of Iodoral and went through the heaviest detox to date. My lymph nodes eventually swelled and I began to develop boil like spots behind my ears. Not pleasant. I reduced my iodine at that point and it took several weeks before I was able to reduce the swelling. I was lucky to have a friend staying who is a Massage Therapist who gave me lymphatic drainage massages.In June, I started Thyroid-S after 6 years of dropping Levothyroxine and it was the last piece in my jigsaw puzzle back to health. I do not take adrenal support anymore or St 's Wort and

have changed my Vit C to Amla. I still take Vit B complex, 25mg Iodoral, 120mg Thyroid-S; this is low as I was taking 125mcg of Levo (60mg of Thyroid-S is 38mcg of Levo). I take 200mg mag citrate and also use mag chloride oil which I rub into my neck. I take 200mcg selenium or 4 brasil nuts. When I am not in the sun I take 2000iu of Vit D3. My levels of D3 and ferritin have risen over the protocol period to reasonable levels.I started using white iodine for some of my moles and have had one peel off on my face, hurray!I now use argan oil butter on my skin which I warm and add Lugol's to. I also add argan oil to my salad dressing as it reduces cholesterol. As I can remember, the last time I posted here, my endo recommended that I have my thyroid removed as I have irregular cells. I last saw him in June where he realised that as my nodule was shrinking, I possibly could be going in the right direction.Thanks and

everybody here. This forum is the best.PS Apologies to those who sent be emails and did not get a response. I was having problems at a specific time with my set up.

Hi ,

Thyroid-S is another brand of natural thyroid. It is manufactured in Thailand

and is usually offered as an alternative to Armour.

This is what Dr Derry says about the combination of iodine and natural thyroid

meds to fight cancer. It does come from an article on breast cancer but I do

believe he talks generally.

" I propose that...iodine and thyroid hormone act as a team to provide a constant

surveillance against abnormal cell development, chemicals that are carcinogenic,

and the spread of cancer cells within the body, " writes Dr. Derry, who, in

addition to holding an M.D., has a PhD in neurochemistry and is a former

University of Toronto Medical Research Council Scholar. " Cancer grows so slowly

when using iodine and thyroid hormone therapy that the cancer will not affect

the lives of the patients who have it. The treatment is non-invasive,

inexpensive and safe. "

I think Dr s site calls it white iodine but I bought " De La Cruz -

Decolorized Iodine - Yodo Blanco " . Ingredients: potassium iodide, iodine,

ammonia solution.

It is strictly for external use. The ammonia decolorizes the Lugol's solution.

Oh, I see, ok. I've been using Lugol's at night on skin issues, since by

the time I wake up it's disappeared. Another thing to do is, either before

application or after, I've done both, add a touch of vit C powder, either

ascorbic acid or calcium ascorbate, or a squeeze of lemon, etc. The Vit C

converts the iodine to iodide and the color clears. I have removed the

color of Lugol's from my skin instantly by using Vit C powder/water paste

on them.

I thought about this and wondered whether the iodide would still work on

the skin. Dr Brownstein's Iodine book says that the skin primarily

concentrates the iodide form, so I imagine converting Lugol's in this

fashion would still work on skin. I'm going to try it so I can use the

iodine on skin all day too.

Hi Cincy,

Thanks for sharing your very encouraging story! Could you please tell me how

long you stayed at 100mg Iodoral? What level of Iodoral you think started to

help shink the nodule?

Thanks agian,

Jen

> I have not posted for a long time and just want you all to know that after a

year and more than a half on the iodine protocol, my nodule on my thyroid has

finally reduced in size! I have lost 21 lbs in weight and I have managed to get

rid of a large mole on my temple. My adrenals are back to normal too. This has

all been due to iodine.

> In May I went up to 100mg of Iodoral and went through the heaviest detox to

date. My lymph nodes eventually swelled and I began to develop boil like spots

behind my ears. Not pleasant. I reduced my iodine at that point and it took

several weeks before I was able to reduce the swelling. I was lucky to have a

friend staying who is a Massage Therapist who gave me lymphatic drainage

massages.

> I do not take adrenal support anymore or St 's Wort and have changed my

Vit C to Amla. I still take Vit B complex, 25mg Iodoral, 120mg Thyroid-S; this

is low as I was taking 125mcg of Levo (60mg of Thyroid-S is 38mcg of Levo). I

take 200mg mag citrate and also use mag chloride oil which I rub into my neck.

I take 200mcg selenium or 4 brasil nuts. When I am not in the sun I take 2000iu

of Vit D3. My levels of D3 and ferritin have risen over the protocol period to

reasonable levels.

he realised that as my nodule was shrinking, I possibly could be going in the

Thanks - do you have to get it via a doctor who knows about this? and where do you get it from? anywhere in Europe sell it do you know?
