Night Sweats

[Guest guest]

no allergic to milk. i am with a doctor michael bamonte in usa now doing some tests www.health-truth.com he seems to know what he s doing i hope. not sure what to do about iodoral until i have had it tested again. can iodine detox you. also when ive detoxed for 10 yrs u would think i would be healthy i also have an infra red sauna but cannot use due to dangerous low sodium issues. he said to come off everything and give body a rest but cannot afford to get bowel impaction again. i never feel hungry really and want to eat at night and not morning as sluggish in morning my weight is normal now but struggle to put on weight.

Kefir can be made with coconut milk, and I think there are other alternatives.

I just think you might benefit from it, from what you've written. Good luck!

My

OB/GYN suggested that I take Iodoral.  She told me that I could have the test

which cost about $100.00 or if I wanted to I could just give the Iodoral a

try.  She said that most people are deficient.  She also gave me a little hand

out for detoxing with lemon water, etc.    I started taking the 12.5 pill and

fell better by evening!!!!  For a few weeks I felt great.  After that it sort

of wore off and after finding this site I started to increase the dose.  I was

under a lot of stress at the time and my adrenals crashed so I stopped the

iodoral.  I am planning to start it up again with adrenal support.

Hope

that helps since a doctor did tell me to try it even if I didn’t want to pay

for the test.

you might want to read about the history of iodine

it is totally understandable to me that iodophobia is so prevalent.

You could also try organic/wildcrafted wild yam tincture ... I am open to

correction but I think it is an adaptogenic ...it has progesteronic effects,

increases pregnenalone and could also be used for natural birth control

....(obersvation of the Trobriander islanders whose feamles are lean and healthy

were told about the reverence with which wild yams were held). It has been

called a fat-burner ...maybe it revs up the thyroid a bit?

I believe all the steroid hormones are made from cholesterol...if that is low

one if off to a bad start ...good quality natural fats are needed.

Night sweats. I sweat 24/7. Especially when I get out of the shower, I can't dry off for nothing. Then I put clothes on, more sweating. Then I bundle up to go outside and walk. More sweating. Saturated. It doesn't smell, thank God. But being wet causes me to be chilled because of the cold weather. I'm starting to think my cortisol levels are too high. I don't sleep but maybe 2 to 3 hours a night and this is driving me crazy, literally. And I've got a stupid GP that keeps telling me it is menopause, deal with it. When I take 1/2 of iodoral I sweat 50 times more so today I didn't take it. I only sweat for awhile after my shower but this is getting ridiculous. I'm at a lost in what to do. I know I'm full of toxins and they are sweating out but this is just too much for me. I'm hot and cold all day

long when I take the iodoral.Any suggestions? I have 2 meds that I am on that I have tot take if I want to walk and the other is for nerve damage because I refused spine surgery for so long before I actually went through with it but now regret it but I couldn't walk at the time so I basically had to have the surgery. Taking care of 4 children is no easy feat when you can't walk and I had a baby that I had to carry at the time.I'm at a lost now in what I should do. from Illinois From: coloredoctave

I had a bad experience with wild yam, & was told by 2 different herbalists that it is estrogenic & as well as progesteronic. (My fibroids grew while I was taking it.)

For me vitamin E & A fixed this I take 800 IU mixed vit E. That fixed it alone after about a week at that dose for the first few months then I had signs of needing more A so for a period of about 3 or 4 months I had to up my Vit A to 24,000 IU then the sweats came back and I lowered the A at that point back to 8,000 IU and they went away again. So I think that the body needs plenty of both when using the iodine and they need to be in balance. At first I must have been so low on A that I needed the high level to get up to speed then when I was I needed to lower to a balance point with the E for my body. It's Important to remember that each person's balance point is going to be unique to them based on their diet and so forth.

Subject: night sweats

Hi all,I'm starting to feel pretty concerned because I've been having really bad night sweats for months and months now, that I never had before being on Iodoral (approximately 50mg for 2 years now). Iodoral helps many of my symptoms, which get worse when I lower my dose... but the night sweats get better if I lower my dose... Last time I was tested I was still hypo, though less so, so it's not a hyperthyroid symptom... It's also not menopause as I'm only 33 and I don't think I'm going through peri-menopause yet. The last time I did a saliva test my estrogen was normal, but my progesterone was suddenly way too low. So I recently began to use natural progesterone, and it helped a lot initially, but then stopped helping and I had a worsening of many of my symptoms. From what I've read, when you first start taking progesterone it can cause a bad case of [hopefully] temporary estrogen dominance as estrogen receptors reawaken and also interfere with the thyroid (also after being on iodoral, I eventually lost too much weight and dropped a cup size). Now taking progesterone I've gained back the weight and cup size in a matter of 2 weeks... My problem is that I'm having bad night sweat again and they are dehydrating and exhausting me... Any ideas? Thanks so much,Marlena

I am also waking in the night with night sweats and I have

not had night sweats since menopause, which has been four years. I am not sure

if it is a detox reaction or if something else is going on. I don’t have

the problem in the daytime.

I'm not sure I believe in the current hype about that, but I certainly have not shown any sign of my D being messed up I take 5000 IU D-3 daily and outside of dealing with the thyroiditis I have had for the past year I have not gotten a single cold, flu etc. My mom and I live together and she works in a hospital and has always been a known carrier so I get exposed to everything that comes along.

From what I've read, when you first start taking progesterone it can cause a bad case of [hopefully] temporary estrogen dominance as estrogen receptors reawaken and also interfere with the thyroid (also after being on iodoral, I eventually lost too much weight and dropped a cup size). Now taking progesterone I've gained back the weight and cup size in a matter of 2 weeks... My problem is that I'm having bad night sweat again and they are dehydrating and exhausting me... Any ideas? Thanks so much,Marlena

Whereas I have read that you need vitamin A if you take vitamin D. Just like it

is found naturally in cod liver oil. Everyone is on the vit. D bandwagon, but I

hate to see all the vit. D bottles in the health food store without an A backup.

> For me vitamin E & A fixed this I take 800 IU mixed vit E. That fixed it

alone after about a week at that dose for the first few months then I had signs

of needing more A so for a period of about 3 or 4 months I had to up my Vit A to

24,000 IU then the sweats came back and I lowered the A at that point back to

8,000 IU and they went away again. So I think that the body needs plenty of

both when using the iodine and they need to be in balance. At first I must have

been so low on A that I needed the high level to get up to speed then when I was

I needed to lower to a balance point with the E for my body. It's Important to

remember that each person's balance point is going to be unique to them based on

their diet and so forth.

My husband had terrible night sweats and it all went away with high doses of mag

malate (800-900mg); so did his restless leg and leg cramps.

Baker - "night sweats" are what is called a "B-symptom". (I have no idea why it's called a B-Symptom). But it goes with extreme fatigue, low grade temperatures, and if it's consistent it alerts your physician that something may be cooking. Itchy bites are part of the game, we all have them, no matter what our condition, so do not worry about that. If the night sweats persist and intensify, and it's not just an occasional thing, it's time to have a chat with your doc. But I do not see it as an emergency, so try to enjoy your vacation. -

Traveling can bring you in contact with various insects, especially in the

summer. The media has also had numerous stories about bed bug infestations,

especially back east. And, it seems that CLL brings with it the gift of weird

over-reactions to insect bites. (Check out CLL Topics Update on this subject.)

Hope this all subsides for you and that you have a good vacation. Your WBC

sounds great, so hopefully the night sweats are temporary and the result perhaps

of summer heat or something non-CLL related.

Could it be that you are in a warmer bed, under warmer blankets, that you are vacationing in a warmer more humid climate, or all of the above? When I lived in the city (LA area) I had night sweats long before there was any suggestion of cll on those nights when things just never cooled off. I used to put a towel on my pillow and sleep on and under large beach towels with a fan on which helped some.

I believe I have read in these pages that CO stimulates metabolism. Could my

" stimulated metabolism " account for my night sweats? I am 70 years old and

waaaaaaaaaaaaayy beyond menopause. Furthermore, the night sweats have been

occuring only in the last several months after I began using CO as my go-to oil.

I use about 2 TBS. a day. Thanks for any help you can give me.

[Guest guest]

It's possible but the only way to tell is to stop for awhile and see what

happens. If the sweats stop I would resume the coconut oil in smaller amounts

until it happens again and then back off. On the other hand If you still suffer

from them after stopping you might want to report that to your health

I agree with D, I am cutting back because of night sweats... more night heat

than actually sweating... we will see what happens.  I do tend to get over

enthusiastic when I find something that works for me.. So I am backing off and

starting from scratch, so to speak.
