Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I just got some Lugols as I read it is great for Lyme disease. My questions -- I have tended to flucuate from borderline hypo thyroid to Hyper when I eat too much seaweed. Tests for any autoimmune thyroid came back neg. I do, howver, have a small nodule on my neck. Noit so small I guess as I see it. How safe is taking iodine with a nodule? Also, anyone else take Iodine for Lyme. Does it help with toxicity problesm? As I have Lyme, I am toxic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 7 hi Micheal have you read any of the research on http://www.optimox.com ? Iodine used to be used to treat HYPERthyroidism. IMO if you are hyper from too much seaweed it is b/c your body is asking for more iodine. Also the right dose of iodine will shrink nodules/goiter etc---that's what it's used for. Iodine was called the universal medicine---"if ye know not where or why, treat ye then with SKI"--something like that. I was once hyperthyroid, brilliantly treated with surgery (not), and now take 100mg Iodoral per day.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I read the same thing but personally I don't think we need soy so it is easy to avoid it.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Confused About Soy?--Soy Dangers Summarized High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children. Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic disorders. In test animals soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused stunted growth. Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women. Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease. Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body's requirement for B12. Soy foods increase the body's requirement for vitamin D. Fragile proteins are denatured during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein. Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines. Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and additional amounts are added to many soy foods. Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys. http://www.westonaprice.org/soy/index.html Soy is in far more foods than people are aware of. One example is that yummy Jiff peanut butter (that I no longer consume).

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Yes I agree - I wrote a paper for school (on my website now) where I reference a research article where thyroid cancer and soy are tied.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Kind of scarey since soy is being shoved down our throats at every turn, huh? Makes me wonder how much soy I unknowingly gave my children while growning up?

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 I have a horrible issue with soy. When I eat it my joints ache. When I started looking at the labels I was shocked to see how much it was in. It's sick. What we don't realize until...... my mom and dad fed me soy milk as a baby with caro (sp?) syrup. That was in place of baby formula. *sigh* When I was treated for thyca I had to stop nursing my son and he reacted to a formula so I tried soy. He didn't like it so thank goodness I went back to the other formula. Both my kids take 90 mgs Armour and 12.5 mgs of Iodoral.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hi Jennie, I'm quite new too when I attempted some years ago I had this 'sprouting tower' and one of the things that made me stop (next to the forgetting to water) was that the small roots of the sprouts that grew under the shelves made it hard to harvest I think when sprouting in a collander you will get the same thing kind of a beard of roots that might be hard to clean off I find the glass jars soooo easy groetjes, Vera in Belgium > > Hi all, > > I have a very beginner's question. Why does sprouting have to be done inside > a glass jar? Will a simple stainless colander do?
