Re: Restless legs, muscles twitching

[Guest guest]

Keri, please get yourself some Himalayan Rock salt to make a sole with - you take 1 tsp of the sole in a juice or water each morning and it is very good for you - ordinary salt is very bad for you.

I have suffered with restless leg syndrome for years, I find that laying on my stomach with my legs straight helps a lot when trying to sleep.

Luv nne

I can actually see the muscles in my calf rise up and go back - little twitches - any ideas please - sure it's related to hypo t and adrenals though unless you advise otherwise.I have started to put some salt in my water to drink and it feels good so maybe that will help.luv keriMessages are not a substitute for professional medical advice.

HI Keri

You should buy the Himalayan Salt. This has over 87 minerals that your body needs.

Thank you nne. Have never suffered with this before the last few

months. What's the difference between rock salt and Himalyan rock

salt? I believe Dr suggests 'salt' in water first thing in the

morning. Am going to order his book today.

Hi Keri,

Any rock salt will, potentially, have low iodine content.

It's likely the reason that they get goitre up there in the Himalayas.

It would be good for anyone taking a thyroid med that already

contains iodine, but the other requirements for iodine in the body

may not be met adequately.

If you don't eat much seafood, your overall iodine intake may be

insufficient to keep things like breast tissue adequately supplied

with iodine.

It's a choice that you have to make as to how much and in what form

the iodine in your diet is maintained.

The lack of iodine will also apply to sea salt for the same reason

that rock salt has low iodine (it remains very soluble in the water

when the salt dries out).

" Sea salt " has to be specially iodised!

The increase of iodine by 'accumulation' is necessary during all

biological processes that take place away from the sea itself,

and some sophisticated processes enable iodine to be transported

inland (wind blown).

The magnesium in Himalayan salt (as in most rock salts ) may be what

helps with restless legs.

Sorry, Bob I don't understand. My brain can't rationalise. Do I need

iodine from the rock salt and Himalyan salt is the better type? I'm

not on any thryoid meds yet, just started on my 4 x Nutri Adrenal

Extra a day to try and help the adrenals before I start on the armour

thyroid. I cut down on my salmon because of the mercury and only eat

haddock now but I take fish oils.

Hi Keri

Low iodine may be at the root of thyroid problems for many poeple.

How many drops would you suggest taking per day of iodine? I have both lugols & also the following one

http://store.com/iodine.html which gives 1.5mg/drop.

Hi Keri

[[...I may have been hypothyroid since a young girl as I wet the bed

up to age 11 and started my period at age 10 - both indications

according to Dr P....]]

I thought there was a hint of low magnesium and/or low zinc in that

particular problem.

What's very interesting, is that zinc can substitute for magnesium in

many enzymes, but with a modified activity for the enzyme.

Hypothyroidism lowers the magnesium content in the cells and it then

shows up in the blood....

Lower magnesium content in the cells results in lowered overall

activity of the cell....less ATP is produced, they become hypoxic.

Thanks Bob. I saw my recently acquired osteopath yesterday about my

right hand leg/groin pain and twitching calf muscles. She talked at

length about the thyroid and believes that when it is working

correctly a lot of these issues will go as the 'circulation' to the

legs will improve. She did give me some immediate relief with cranial

work but it all came back in the night. I went to my GP in 2005 with

the leg/groin pain and she sent me to a physio who tried and tried and

then sent me to a homeopath. I just wonder how long the thyroid has

been out - maybe it's just that last year in February all the symptoms

hit me at once and I crashed.

for you is himalayan - I know that there are many on the group who do

have the sole or used to it is very good for you and if you happen to

suffer with another hypot symptom, constipation, the sole worked

wonders for me in that area.

Thanks marianne. I got some yesterday. Yes, constipation has bugged

me all my life.

twitching in my eylid too and that's also gone despite being told that

that would be nothing to do with the thyroid.

Thanks . Makes sense. I will persevere.
