Are you supplementing with Magnesium? If you read up on it, you will

find that most of us are deficient in Magnesium and it seems to stop

throbbing headaches and calm the nerves in general. I know that this

is the iodine list but I don't believe that iodine is the cure all for

everything. Sorry. phine.

you are lucky to have a smart GP but I think his dosing Rx is a problem. If you have fibro you will need at least 50mg iodine/iodide per day. your cells are just beginning to wake up on 2 drops per day---you need more.

it seems like fibro patients usually need Armour, adrenal support and 50-100mg iodine.

Hi,

I posted this earlier but no-one has replied so I thought I would post it again. I really am hoping for an answer to this "side effect" of taking Lugol's that I am experiencing, if at all possible. This is the reason I searched through the internet & found this group.

My GP put me on Lugol drops 4 weeks ago when blood tests taken for possible Fibromyalgia (which has now been verified by a rheumatologist) showed that I was moderately Iodine deficient.

He started me on a one drop p. day for one week, increasing by one drop extra each week until taking 4 drops p. day. After only 5 days I was amazed by the improvement in my brain function - the "fog" had lifted, wowee, that felt good! I was very impressed by the power of that Lugol's so I was keen to continue.

However, only one or two days after increasing to 2 drops I developed a pounding pulse in my head. This pounding in combination with terrible tinnitus, made it quite difficult to get to sleep. So I reduced the dose down to 1 drop again, the next day the pulse had calmed down somewhat. I waited a couple more days then increased it again & Bingo, there was the pounding again.

I have just yesterday mentioned this to my GP. I said that it felt like a symptom of "Hyper Thyroidism" that I experienced 15 years ago. He quickly dismissed it & said that people in the "old days" could take 60 drops per day with no ill effects.

I have read through most of the files and database and searched through the message history but couldn't find a similar situation to my own. I would be most interested to receive any feedback because I sure do not wish to miss out on any of the wonderful benefits of Iodine that I have already experienced with so little.

Hi. I tend to rely upon my own feelings and judgements to a large

extent when it comes to supplements, since I have not yet had to ask

anybody else, e.g. a doctor due to any symptom or disease, so when I

started supplementing with Iodine, after first having read the online-

available book by Dr. , " Heart in hand " , found here:

http://www.donaldmiller.com/heart.htm

and subsequently all of Dr. Abrahams papers at Optimox.com,

http://optimox.com/pics/Iodine/opt_Research_I.shtml

I went slow, taking one pill of kelp a day (75 mcg. iodine) for a

week, the next week two pills a day and so on until after six weeks I

took six pills a day, equaling 450 mcg. iodine a day, and then I

switched to Lugol´s with one drop a day for one week. During this

time all went well, I was reading up on Iodine and I experienced no

bad effects, though I did experience some detoxing during the first

week on Lugol´s, with darker than normal urine, for example, but no

adverse effects whatsoever...(I have previously removed all of my

dental-amalgams, so mercury was probably not causing any major

trouble, those troubles I dealt with before...)However when I

increased the dose the next week to two drops, I started having

trouble sleeping at night, due to heart-palpitations, so I simply

decided that here is my limit, and reduced the dosing to one drop a

day, which I am currently taking... Sometimes I try two drops a day

just to test, but up till now the result has been the same, a racing

heart. If one has a disease of some kind, e.g. cancer, then I suppose

that it ain´t " fun " anymore, but dead serious, and one kind of have

to reach out to somebody else who " knows " what is the right amount,

and what one has to take in order to reestablish health, and this is

when it gets " tricky " , because now psychology plays a larger part in

ones judgements and decisions, as opposed to ones own " inner

feelings " ...So, I guess my feedback to your experience is that when

it comes to managing health, one should trust ones own inner

feelings, but when it comes to dealing with disease, well...perhaps

it is a question of choosing who in the world should I trust with my

life...? and then read/listen to what he/she writes/says, and follow

the directions while being observant on the internal change hopefully

taking place...

Hi phine,

Hi Gracia,

Yes, I think he is a very unusual doctor esp. as I live in a small rural town.

He also put me on Adrenotone by Metagenics to boost my adrenal function. So, if I understand you correctly, I just need to "push through" to increase the drops to the point where I get 50mg p day at least. So if there is 6.5 mg of iodine in one drop (I think I read that in one of the files), that would be 8 drops p. day would it???

Mmm ... thanks for those thoughts, .

I guess I am just soooo impressed by the power of only one drop to lift 10 months of chronic brain fog that I am keen to continue with Iodine therapy & not limit myself by remaining on one drop when I may be able to get to say 4 or 8.

If the pounding pulse is caused by a Detox effect or any other known consequence then it would tell me to keep going but at some more modified or managed rate. So that's what I'm looking for.

I just wanted to say that, depending on how long ago you had your amalgams out, and what kind detoxes you may or may not have done, and what kind of excreter you are, most of us can't assume that mercury issues are in the past just because we have had our amalgams removed.

I hope that statement makes sense. -- Warmest Regards,Robin Littlebut no adverse effects whatsoever...(I have previously removed all of my

dental-amalgams, so mercury was probably not causing any major

Hi again ,

I just found this very good explanation, in "iodine4health" of an increase in pulse being caused by initial dosing with Iodine, in people with slow metabolisms & peripheral nerve cell damage - pulsing

Now I get it, as Gracia said yesterday, that my cells are just beginning to "wake up". I am starting to understand the whole cycle now. The article says that it may take months or even years for the body to adapt back up to running with Iodine, depending on how long it was deficient. I don't get any itching thus far but I am getting "numbness" & "pins & needles" turning on in my right leg again, so I guess that is what is going on.

Phew, that is good to know!

Hi. I found it too...here:

http://iodine4health.com/overviews/uses/ford_uses.htm

it was also interesting to know that men and women obviously are most

comfortable with slightly different optimum amounts... this makes

sence to me, since I´m on one drop a day, but a woman would be best

off with two drops a day...unless during cure of disease of

course...another site providing answers to questions regarding iodine

and orthoiodosupplementation I found here:

http://www.curezone.com/faq/c.asp?a=13,281,2962

That it takes several months perhaps even several years to accomodate

to iodine-supplementation also makes sense, considering the previous

longterm insufficient state, though individually different, of

course... nevertheless, it feels good to know that changes taking

place are in a positive direction.

Wow - that CureZone link has a lot, thanks for that .

I also found on Iodine4Health how women who breastfeed are especially prone to be iodine deficient due to the body directing all the iodine to be stored in the breast fat & made into the milk. This really rang a bell with me as I first experienced Migraines, jaw spasm, fatigue & emotional lability when I had just finished breast feeding my third child! I have probably been iodine deficient to greater or lesser degree for at least 15 years!

And during that time I was misdiagnosed as having an "unknown mental illness" & rendered virtually incompetent, lying on the floor, weeping, by prescription of 15 different psychiatric drugs until I finally just walked away & never looked back. It was only a couple of months ago that a neurologist I was referred to for possible MS, said "maybe Fibromyalgia" & ordered the Heavy Metals urine spot test - and found the Iodine deficiency. Hooray - that was all that was required - a simple test for a physical deficit. Why couldn't they have done that first??? I may have kept my job, etc, etc, etc.

I have done quite a bit of basic "detoxing" over the past few years using Niacin, exercise & Saunas. And I have had a few episodes of nearly passing out that I would atribute to excretion of some kind of major nasty, probably mercury. I will check out CureZone to see what it says.

Hi ne,

That is most interesting about Chinese medicine placing Tinnitus as a consequence of a Kidney/Adrenal dysfunction. Sure makes sense in my case - I think my Adrenals have been wacked since birth & I have always had Tinnitus, to greater or lesser degree. (My mother flooded my forming body with stress hormones even before it got out into the big, wide world.)

I am having some success though in the past few days by breaking up the dose of Lugol's to twice a day. The pounding is abating, which is really encouraging as I am taking 3 drops per day now - 2 in the morning & 1 at night. But my sleep is really bad again, which is discouraging (can't get to sleep/waking up too early) . But still I am so impressed by how much extra energy I have every day now, both physical & mental plus barely any muscle pain.

As you say, seems as though the Iodine can boost one system but that unbalances another system - oh brother! it's tricky isn't it. But my hope is in "Time" - that it will eventually all balance out together.

Hi Pru,

I don’t think

in all the months I have been on this list that anyone takes their iodine at

night because it gets your body moving! Most everyone that had expressed when

they take it, take a second dose no later than 3:00 in the afternoon. That way

it works in your body, but lets you shut down to sleep.

So try taking your

second dose in the early afternoon, and see if that helps.

Oh Donna, thankyou for that tip! That was the reason for the "shot" sleep the last few days. OK, I will definitely take it no later than 3 pm & look forward to better sleep,

>>as I am taking 3 drops per day now - 2 in the morning & 1 at night. But my sleep is really bad again, which is discouraging (can't get to sleep/waking up too early) <<

Hi Pru,

I don’t think in all the months I have been on this list that anyone takes their iodine at night because it gets your body moving! Most everyone that had expressed when they take it, take a second dose no later than 3:00 in the afternoon. That way it works in your body, but lets you shut down to sleep.

So try taking your second dose in the early afternoon, and see if that helps.

Perhaps we could trade some sleep Pru? LOL I sleep tooo much. I became

excited when I upped my thyroid med and wasn't sleeping as much (10-12

hrs at night plus naps during the day) But after the upped dose for a

few weeks, tired again. Darn it! I slept 13 1/2 hrs last night and had

NO energy today at all. I really do wish I could give you some of my

sleep and feel some energy.

Mmm ... thanks Janie & Gracia ... sounds loverly, all that sleep but the mad thing is that even though I have only had about 12 hours sleep total for the past 2 nights, I have sooo much energy - I am catching up on all kinds of things all around me (cleaning, sewing, shopping, cooking). Sometimes I think "oh this will catch up with me tomorrow" but it doesn't. My husband is sooo impressed that he had a couple of drops of Lugol's this morning too!

I am going to go look up ATP co-factors (again),

My ultimate dream! What is the down side to this? Sure sounds good to

me :-)

hi Pru

once you get enough Iodoral/Lugols and maybe a few other things, the sleep and energy should balance out. hopefully Janie will too!

Pru...

Swansons Vitamins (http://www.swansonvitamins.com) sells a product

called Dr. Laszlo Meszaros' Metal Shield, it removes heavy metals from

the body. Also there's another product Pectasol that will do the same

thing. Pectasol is about $30, Metal Shield is about $10. Both are

supposed to remove only heavy metals not the necessary ones.

least. Well, that's it, I am going to start taking my Chlorella

tablets again - I can't afford to have my mercury fillings removed

plus it sounds so " tricky " a procedure - that at least I can take

Chlorella every day & know that it is mopping up any excess mercury &

eliminating it for me (not to mention providing lots of other goodies

for my body to use),

Hi again, Just wanted to let you know that I slept a solid 8 hours last night after taking my last dose of Lugol's at 3pm - it worked perfectly, thanks so much Gracia for that very vital tip!
