Re: Re: wondering if I should start Iodoral? - Kathleen

[Guest guest]

Im right outside of philadelphis,pa. I am on medical

assistance at this time for ins. I am willing to

change pcp too after she totally blew me off

yesterday.I am planning on going down the whole list

of providers today to see if any will prescribe

armour. The last endo I was told did but after three

months of waiting for my appt, I found out that he

didn't. what a bummer. Right now I can't afford to pay

out of pocket.

kathy, hey girl! personally i would start with Lugol's 5% Solution (i order mine from jcrows.com for $19.95 plus S/H of $5.95) as SOON AS POSSIBLE. you are iodine deficient already and have been forever if your thyroid has any problems! 4 drops from the dropper into a little bit of juice (in water i got an upset tummy) 2X a day. that should address that tumor/cyst right away and begin shrinking it to nothing! immediately begin taking 4000 units of Vitamin C, 400-600mg. Magnesium and 400mg. of Selenium and a good multi-vitamin - all of these daily. i take them with or after a meal with no problems! sandikathleen mcburney <alikat709@...> wrote: sandi, SHould I hold off on starting Iodorol until Imregulated ? or wouldn't that matter.

Not to mention that iodine helps the body to find and eliminate the bad /

Hi,I am new hereBut with a common sense attitude and some experience with Lugols from the Gerson Institute...I would not accept anyone's diagnosis of your thryroid not iodine needs.But I would recommend an ND who can prescribe whichever supplement they feel is good for you.I see Zoebess is not moderating or at least has not posted in a while here...but I am guessing JCrow's info came from her relationship with Curezone-where she does post regularly.JCrow's however does not anymore. After ordering his Lugols I proceeded to have it tested by a local lab we use, it came in as lab quality anitspetic and not human grade.I can say from experience that Lugols prescribed by an ND (it is a controlled substance now, for the reason above) comes through another distributor than son or other lab suppliers. Ours in South Africa and expensive.I do not want to discourage any one from using iodine if you have been

tested and know your labs then go out and supplement. Best case scenario go to an ND get the labs and have them proscribeWorst case take capsules of Iodoral.sandi blair <ptb_1952@...> wrote: kathy, hey girl! personally i would start with Lugol's 5% Solution (i order mine from jcrows.com for $19.95 plus S/H of $5.95) as SOON AS POSSIBLE. you are iodine deficient already and have been forever if your thyroid has any problems! 4 drops from the dropper
