<<I'm sorry about your heart problems. I hope someone can

help you. >>

Thanks, . I don't think that is possible though. I have heart

damage that has caused electrical problems with my heart after taking

Imitrex for migraines. At the same time, I had a mild stroke. I've

been to multiple cardiologists. The worst is when it gets into

ventricular arrhythmias, because then I feel like I'm going to pass

out. I don't like to drive Josh too far out of town because of it.

So, hubby is going to have to take time off of work to get us to

therapy appointments, when we find someone.

I think becoming a counselor for OCD is a great idea. I can't imagine

anyone understanding what it's like more than someone who has lived it

first hand. It would be great to be able to pass on the things you've

learned too. )

That seems weird to me too. No insurance, cash only....I don't know if I've

ever met any health care provider that does that.

Thyroglobulin levels are increased as you become more iodine deficient.

Thyroglobulin is a more sensitive indicator of iodine deficiency than

thyrotropin: development and evaluation of dry blood spot assays for

thyrotropin and thyroglobulin in iodine-deficient geographical areas.

Hi! I am in MN and switched to raw last week, so good comparison - I did not

see any big changes, I think part of what might be going on is the nights are

cooler, so my kefir has not really been separating - I try to keep my grains

down to an amount where I have a thick, almost gelatinous product at the end,

but try to avoid separation - I got it anyway when it was hot, but have not for

a few weeks now, in either milk. I was using whole before, when I switched from

2% to whole I noticed less separation too, and raw is whole. There might be a

slight yeasty smell, that has seemed to vary with mine in general. Is yours

thick? It might be pretty tart after 48 hours, I would stir it, and if it is

thickened, give it a taste, but I would not leave it any longer, that is not

good for the grains - at least change the milk. I use about 1 TBSP of grains

for each cup of milk.

> I have been making kefir for a couple months now and just found a source for

raw milk. When I was using commercial milk, (we can't buy raw milk commercially

in WI), the kefir would seperate after 24 hrs in a 70's degree kitchen. My

first batch of raw milk kefir is now on my counter. After 48 hours my raw milk

kefir has not seperated and the grains and kefir at the top are slightly yellow

and slightly yeasty smelling. Is this normal? I have not tasted it yet.

Hi Ben,

Everyone is different, if it were me and I was feeling fine at 50mg, I would go up a bit, stay there a week, see how I feel and work my way up to the dose where you want to be. That is what I did in the beginning; I now am at 100mg daily. I found experimenting was the best way for me. Kathleen

Is this Normal?

Hey Guys,So I have been on 50mg pills of Idoral for a week. I take the needed supplements minus the vitamin c. I haven't notice any changes, detox feeling, increased energy anything. It may be premature or perhaps my dose is too low. Should I increase to 100mg? 200mg? or wait an see more. Is a week long enough to notice change? I am taking this for cancer, and I know people use up to 200mg per day. But is this something to build up to?

[Guest guest]

Most of the cancer patients try to get to the higher doses quickly. Some do not

get detox symptoms until they get to 100 mgs or more.

Cool guys thanks for the info. I kinda thought that would be the response but I

thought I would double check with the experts. I think I will finish this week

at 50 and by saturday bump it up to 100, then 150 then 200. Ill probably hold

off at 200 for a while, symptoms or no.

A lot of the folks on this list haven't bothered with the test, & just go by how

they feel.

Absence of detox symptoms can also mean that you are doing a really good job

keeping all the detox pathways open. This might become more of a problem as you

increase the dose.

Most people on the list don't take any iodine after 2, because it causes sleep issues. Most of us are taking a single dose, early in the day.AnneOn Jun 8, 2011, at 6:34 AM, pythonesk wrote:

[Guest guest]

When you are talking advanced cancer, I would definitely do more than one thing. I would make home-made lipsomal vitamin C, & gradually work up to the highest dose I could tolerate. (The liposomal stuff doesn't affect the bowels, but with home-made, you are only getting 50-70% liposomal, & the unliposomal portion can affect the bowels. If you have deep pockets, 6 doses a day or more of commercial liposomal C would be good.) I would clean up my diet, do cleanses of various types, etc.One big danger with advanced cancer is killing off too many cancer cells at once -- which can clog up the liver. So you need to build up gradually with anything like LC, & you need to take really good care of your liver.Are you still receiving standard treatment -- chemo? Radiation? That will affect, to some degree, the kind of alternative things you can do.AnneOn Jun 8, 2011, at 9:31 AM, Ben Roche wrote:

Hi Laurel,Since Iodoral helps your energy, it is recommended that you take it early in the day. 3 pm is probably the reason you are suffering from insomnia. Try moving it up to no later than noon, or take it all at one time in the morning. We don’t always take our supplements at breakfast, just because I forget and get busy, but if we haven’t taken them by 2pm, I leave out the iodine and we only take the rest for that day.

I actually have not. I just assumed because I have not felt any bad detox feelings I needed more. How do you do a load test?

Ben,

Most of us have not done the loading test . I have been using Lugols/Iodoral for over 25 years, never did the test because I realize most people are deficient in iodine and are daily bombarded with heavy toxins/halides. Especially if one is fighting cancer, iodine is needed. Information is in the files about the loading test, but again, many don't find it necessary. Best, Kathleen

I'm taking 4 mg of iodine via Lugol's and have come down with severe flu like symptoms 3 separate times since starting iodine a month ago. One episode left me sick for 2 weeks, l lost my voice, horrible coughing, etc. It was actually worse than the flu. Compared to others here, my symptoms seem wildly disproportionate with my intake...I take 1/2 a teaspoon of salt, 200mg of selenium, 150 mg of magnesium and 2000mg of Vitamin C with each dose. Why isn't my body handling the detox properly?

Ok it is mandated before any test in the lab to be a base

line to start from Take 50 mg iodine or the iodoral tabs At

night. Get up and the first void discard, from then on pee in

the container the lab gave you for 24 hrs. Take it back to the

lab and they will test for iodine. If you are good it will

show 45 mg of iodine you excreted. Meaning you are NOT deficient

in iodine. So take 12.5 mg tablet to keep maintenance level.

If the results come back 30 percent you are deficient and need

more iodine. So this is where you adjust the dosage and check

again in 30 days. I also took a bromine test also. If that is

high you need more iodine till the test comes back 0 iodine.

get the bromine out? Use sea salt, as Na is a halide that

displaces bromine. Then the iodine you take will replace the na.

DO NOT USE ORDINARY TABLE SALT.

Rick, sorry to hear you are not detoxing well. You need to do a salt loading...have you tried that? Directions for the salt loading are in the FILES under Commonly Asked Questions. Please read and try this. Best, Kathleen

Re: Re: Is this Normal? Maybe you have enough iodine and do not need to increase have you done a load test first to see where you are?

What kinds of sleep issues? I used to take it in the morning but a friend said

it help him sleep so I switched to right before bed. I take about 50mg and

haven't noticed any sleep issues.

Should I increase to 100mg? 200mg? or wait an see more. Is a week long enough to

notice change? I am taking this for cancer, and I know people use up to 200mg

per day. But is this something to build up to?
