Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I have posted before about how Dr. Flechas told me that potassium chloride would also work for detox, if I was having difficulty doing the salt loading (causes dehydration symptoms for me due to low ADH). He told me that it is the chloride not the sodium that binds with the bromide ... Since I was also having difficulty using potassium chloride (upset my stomach), I decided to try magnesium chloride... in the hopes that it would also bind with the bromide, but I never had the chance to verify this with Dr. Flechas ... Well I recently ordered the bromide test kit along with another iodine loading test, and the instructions say that you have to ingest 1 Tbsp of salt during the 24 hrs of collecting, which serves as a provocation for the bromide. I emailed FFP labs asking if I could use a combo of potassium and sodium chloride (due to what Flechas told me about detox) and was told indeed " potassium chloride is more effective than the salt. " Wow this is interesting! I also asked about the magnesium chloride and this was the answer: " the magnesium chloride will not work. It's not the same and won't have the same effect as the potassium chloride. It won't bind the same way. " I still don't know why mag chloride won't work like the others, but maybe it explains why I have been feeling absolutely horrible for the last while ... I am going to try to do the combo of sodium/potassium chloride and see if my body handles it better now ... Now I have a question: is it the iodine that dislodges the bromide from storage sites throughout the body, like the thyroid, and the chloride that flushes it out of the body? Is that how it works? So if we dislodge it without flushing it out, that is why we get terrible detox symptoms? Marlena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
