If you are doing more then you are pushing the detox too hard and you should back off on the iodine.> > Reading through the posts though it sounds like many of you drink salt> as part of your regime. <<SB>> I put 1/2 tsp in a coffee mug of warm / hot water and drink it daily.> > So should I just keep using salt in my food and then drink 1/2 tsp if> I think I'm having detox issues? <<SB>> Yes you use it liberally on food and supplement with it. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 When I was undergoing what I thought was a detox or something similar, when first starting back on the full 50 mg Iodoral a couple months ago, I got very bloated and miserable. Headaches and joint pain, gained about 12 pounds, it wasn't pretty. Still isn't. I did a salt loading thing and used about 1/2 teaspoon salt in a glass of water, and did as directed on the breastcancerchoices.org site for a salt load. I don't know if that helped or not, or if that was a hump I just to get over. Now, I drink water with about 1/8 teaspoon salt twice a day. If I get a headache I have about 1/2 teaspoon. I use Eden celtic sea salt, it is unrefined and sort of a beige color. I tried Redmonds and it is nice for a shaker on the table, but it seems to contain grit and sand that doesn't dissolve and I don't like it as well. I also use salt on my food but not liberally. If I measured, I would probably find that I have about one teaspoon of salt a day. I salt water for boiling noodles with sea salt too, otherwise don't use very much in cooking at all, we prefer to season our food at the table. nappynutter wrote: > > Was just wanting to bump up my question since I didn't get any > responses.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 , I had migraines for all of September and part of August. One day I realized that eating salsa took the migraine away. The next time a migraine started I tried eating 2-3 stalks of cilantro and it went away. I find that taking cilantro 2-3 times a week keeps the migraines away since end of September. Much cheaper and healthier than the grocery bag of medications the doctors have prescribed for me but which I am not taking at all since September. I read somewhere since that cilantro helps the brain to detox heavy metals. Unfortunately I don't know where that was.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well, I guess I will cultivate a liking for cilantro! (c8 I don't have migraines but maybe I need the cilantro anyway to help with metals. I have mercury fillings and won't be having them removed anytime soon if ever.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Thanks for the feedback on how you used salt. Just took a 48hour break from using Iodine and started again today and my glands around my neck are up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
