hair loss is listed as a detox symptom at

http://www.breastcancerchoices.org maybe you should try more Iodoral?

I'm going to start pulse dosing and see if that helps. The hair loss 'seemed' to

get worse when I increased my dose and also when I started the DE, which also

detoxes. So, I skipped today's dose, and may skip tomorrow, and then I'll jump

around between 25mg and 75-100mg and see what happens.

I have been having issues with losing hair but it is low estrogen & progesterone that I believe are causing my issues. That may be the case for you as well.

Do you consume good omega 3 fatty acids? That is a problem for me at times too.

Unfortunately there are a lot of things that when imbalanced cause hair loss. I am still trying to fine tune my body to figure it out too. I used to have very thick hair and now it is not that way. It's frustrating - I understand.

Hair Loss

Hi everyone,I've been dealing with hair loss and deteriorating quality for several years. I've undergone treatment for hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue. I still take 60-90 mg Armour, but discontinued hydrocortisone/HC for adreanal fatigue after I started iodine earlier this year because felt more relief with it than I ever did with HC. Given it's negative side effects and the good reaction I felt with iodine initially, I felt it was better to wean off of HC and did so a few months ago.When I first started iodine, I noticed that my hair, which had become frail and thin over the last year especially, seemed to improve in quality and was not falling out nearly as much. The only problem with iodine was that it caused quick weight gain for me. After a few months of being very depressed about that (more so because I'm single and trying to date, and the weight gain has greatly affected my confidence), I stopped iodine for a few weeks back in May. I started to notice that I was not feeling well at all, so I resumed iodine again in mid-May. Right around that time, I started to notice that my hair started falling out more than ever. So much falls out that I'm stunned that I don't have bald spots.I was just wondering if anyone has any advice. I'm already going through a very rough time, but seeing my hair coming out constantly is causing additional stress for me, and I'm worried about the long term consequences of this.I should maybe mention that I don't have insurance, am unemployed and don't have the ability to do lab testing right now. Also, I've been taking what I believe to be about 30 mg of Lugol's (based on my dropper calibration) for 5 days in a row with 2 days off each week. I use at least 1.5 tsp of sea salt everyday, and 3000 mg vitamin C. I usually take all of the companion supplements as well. Also, I just did a "whole body" cleanse (kit by Enzymatic).Thank you,Sherry

My hair falls out in large clumps daily, especially in the shower. The only thing that I could figure out that is causing this in me was low testosterone. I was supplementing for a while and then stopped it but I can’t remember why, it was causing me issues but don’t know what issues at the time, so I stopped it. I also was on thyroid armour and on HC as well and had a lot of the same issues as you, but like I said, for me it was testosterone that was low, due to the adrenal issues.Mia From: iodine [mailto:iodine ] On Behalf Of lookonthebritesideSent: Monday, July 05, 2010 10:18 PMiodine Subject: Hair Loss Hi everyone,I've been dealing with hair loss and deteriorating quality for several years.

I just started taking Cod liver oil 2 tsp twice daily a few months ago and I have not noticed any decrease in my hair loss, it’s still falling out, but it has helped with my depression for sure.

I take a fish oil supplement daily with Omega 3 fatty acids and have been doing

so for quite a while. I just don't understand why my hair was improving when I

first started iodine, but now it's falling out like crazy.

I did have my estrogen and progesterone tested in late 2008 before I started

treating my adrenals and thyroid and long before I ever took iodine. At that

time, I think both were on the high end of what was considered normal, although

I'm not quite sure about the progesterone. I could dig up the results. I'm not

sure if those levels would have changed much since that time or not.

Between the weight gain and hair loss, my treatments have taken a nasty toll on

my appearance, and I'm very depressed about it.

Thanks, Steph

Having weight gain and hair loss makes me suspect that it is a toxin issue.

I don't doubt that it is...For one thing, I drank diet Mt. Dew like crazy for 25

years. It's still strange that the hair loss improved at first with iodine but

then got worse.

But assuming it is toxins, what can I do about it? I feel like I've tried

everything I've heard that's been recommended. Just off the top of my head, I've

been taking a milk thistle/dandelion supplement for several months, I just

started NAC, I've done pulse dosing, and sea salt and vitamin C of course...And

I was hoping the whole body cleanse would take off some pounds. It sort of

seemed like it took off a little at first, but now I'm not so sure.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can deal with the toxins?

Thank you,

Sherry

Maybe glutathione. http://www.vrp.com/ProductPage.aspx?ProdID=4345 I know this is expensive but maybe it would help. You might need "bigger guns" than herbs.

I've looked into glutathione, just because I know it's a powerful antioxidant.

However, if I recall correctly, my research indicated that it's not beneficial

to take it as a supplement because it doesn't absorb well, or something like

that. There are some suggestions on things you can do to help create it in your

body, and I do several of them. But my understanding is that taking it as a

glutathione supplement is not very effective.

Do you believe otherwise, Steph? I will try it if you think it could make a

difference.

I looked at glutathione on vitacost.com, and it wasn't that expensive...The

liposome version must be the expensive one.

What do you think about me taking alpha lipoic acid with four silver fillings? I

think ALA that was one the items on the list to increase your own production of

glutathione...and one of the ones I'm not doing due to my silver fillings.

This is a liposomal http://www.vrp.com/ProductPage.aspx?ProdID=4345 and is $60 It's probably the expensive one.

I took ALA with 11 amalgams. Didn't seem to bother me.

Thanks, Steph...

Is there anything else you can think of that might help?

Do you think I should decrease or even increase my iodine intake?

Thanks for the input, Linn...

What did Livatone Plus help you with exactly? Weight gain? Hair loss?

Where did you get it?

If you do try liposomal glutathione I would look into this website. You get 4x

as much for $20 more. This company was mentioned on the Frex forum.I just sent

for the sample pack. I'm going to try their " can-help " and see if I can replace

most of my companion nutrients.I get so tired of taking so many capsules LOL

I think ALA that was one the items on the list to increase your own production

of glutathione...and one of the ones I'm not doing due to my silver fillings.

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Karin...So, you haven't really tried the liposomal glutathione yet?

What's worse about all of the companion supplements, along with the other ones I

take, is if you are going to be away from home...It's such a hassle to remember

to " pack " all the supplements.

your post...You must have left it out

Sherry, don't know if I missed this along the way but I know for myself when my

hair is falling out, it is often related to low thyroid levels, as is weight

gain. You mentioned that you have not been able to get labs lately. But I

wonder if you are able to increase the thyroid med (with the docs help) and see

what happens?

One thing I am sure of is that I am tolerating my thyroid much better now that I

have been on the iodine for a while now.

Best wishes, Michele

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Michele.

I could increase Armour as I have a bunch stockpiled. But I'm not sure it's the

right thing to do. My thyroid was never terribly low functioning. I was last

tested a little over a year ago, and my values were pretty good at 90 mg. I

never had a weight problem prior to starting thyroid medication, even though I'm

sure my hypothyroidism was undiagnosed for many years. One thing I know is that

the weight gain is directly related to when I started on iodine. It happened

very quickly after I started iodine and was otherwise unwarranted.

I've even considered the possibility that I'm getting too much thyroid hormone/s

and should try weaning off of Armour. I have a history of adrenal fatigue, and

I'm not treating my adrenals right now (other than with sea salt). From what I

understand, Armour can stress the adrenals, so I certainly wouldn't want to get

too much.

you should add at least 2x1-grams vit c for the adrenal.

I actually take 3,000 mg vitamin C daily...I didn't consider that to be a

treatment for adrenal fatigue, so I didn't mention it in that category. I used

to take hydrocortisone also, but I stopped that a few months ago.

Thanks!
