Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Sorry, didn't mean to come across as a Troll.As I think I made clear, my concern is someone reading their is someone out there reading " No overdose amount " and thinking " Well, if some is good, and more is better, why not lots for great! " Some contestant for the Darwin awards, who's action would only support the medical communities effort to bad mouth iodine. " Common sense " is an oxy-moron, as is " fool proof " . " Whoever came up with the term 'foolproof' grossly underestimates the creativity of fools.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011  Welcome L.P. Have you read the new member doc. you received when you joined this group? If you didn’t save it, you can go to our home page and go to FILES then go to New Member doc. and read that. Read all you can there and it will get you up to speed. The iodine we use is Lugol's in solution form or tablet form (Iodoral). There are also companion nutrients that are important for you to use along with the iodine. All this info is there for you...go to FILES, the click on GroupGuidelines-READ FIRST-New Members...then click on Iodine New Member doc., also important to read is Salt and Iodine Protocol.doc. and To Do List for New Members. Between reading what I have recommended and your reading the daily emails, and asking questions, this will get you up to speed very quickly. Best, Kathleen Re: Re: Proper Dosage Hi...I am new to this group. I was recently diagnosed with Lyme Disease with Co-Infections, Bartonella, ehrlichia. My naturopath told me I have fungus and still have parasites. I have been doing a lot of detoxing for my liver, gallbladder, pancreas & small intestine, which she said were in a lot better shape, and now my lungs and colon *need help* as she puts it. I take a lot of supplements but I am not taking iodine so I ordered Trimedica, Thysine, Colloidal Iodine from iherb.com last night and now I'm wondering if this is good to take and is the right dosage because I honestly know nothing about iodine or how to take it, and having Lyme now plus other auto immmune issues, I thought this might help with my severe muscle cramping in my calves and upper legs in the back of my knees. I do bentonite, Coloidal Silver and a product from Unda for parasite treatment, and I did have my thyroid tested (11/4/2010) but they didn't run the reverse T3, and it said NO Thyroid Antibodies, so I don't know IF I have I am Hypothyroid or IF I have hashimotos.....or if my adrenals are messed up or what my ferritin level is, and the doctor did do the right tests, but I think the lab messed up....is that possible? I only see a naturopath and an environmental doctor, so they are not mainstream. I am seeing a chiropractor who took x-rays today and seems to think I have sciatica issues, but also maybe a herniated disc because I have so much pain and weakness in my left leg along with severe leg/calve cramps, and I have severe tailbone, buttock & hip pain. Can any of this be related to having no iodine in the system or does anyone else have any of these issues and what is being done. I am about to go off the deep end because of all this pain, which makes it difficult to walk, stand, sit and especially sleep....which I get none of......3-4 hours unrested sleep a night because I wake up with these horrific leg cramps.

Hmmm.Well, I think we are in an area that mainstream doctoring is not good at and that's why we get to do things ourselves. I spent some years treating from one specialist to the next: dermatologist, rheumatologists, neurologist, allergist, orthopedic surgeon, ob/gyns,etc. Everyone likes to send you somewhere else based on the symptom. It took me a long time to figure out that they were all connected to thyroid (and adrenals, and sex hormones--that balance).Western doctors don't generally "believe in" saliva tests or even in the concept of adrenal fatigue so it's not surprising that they wouldn't pursue that avenue. You'd have to see a naturopath for those kinds of things.Next time I wake up with GERD symptoms I'll try some salt water!Thanks for the tip.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 How about a foot bath with epsom salts & hydrogen peroxide?

I have absolutely NO flexibility in my body and I am in so much pain most of the time that everything I do is not comfortable or easy, but very painful and difficult. I wish things were different ;-( BUT....I will keep pluggin' along and hope I get some flexibility again and the pain subsides. L.P.

I will do the epsom salts.

But I am noticing my head pounding - like NOW. Almost like a sinus infection. Ouch. Constant buzz in my ears, too. All day. ZZZZZzzzzzzzz. Sometimes the pitch goes up a little, then down.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Another term is " Brain Fog " .And even mainstream medicine recognises this term.Its a symptom of Hypo, 'Fibromyalgia' (which is just another name for hypo, so no wonder) and Adrenal Fatigue.Short term memory, Communication/cognitive function difficulties, difficulty concentrating.All various aspects of the same thing.Direct result of insufficient Iodine in the brain, or indirect effect; some of both. It is truly amasing the cascade of symptoms that is shaped like a X-mas tree; Lack of Iodine is the star on top!Jim > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > If I'm starting on one tablet of Iodoral (12.5 mg) and moving up by > > > > > > > > adding one more tablet per week, how do I tell when to stop or what my > > > > > > > > dose should be?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Jim, you are soo right. It has been bad lately, too. I was once a super organizer - neat, everything in place. I conducted my daily routine in this way, too. Now? Ha. I do alot of running around in circles wondering " what was I going to do again? " Etc.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Steph, The files are a mess? Thanks for saying that. I thought it was my brain or something. I really appreciate that all the articles are there and we are told when joining to read them so I feel deficient when I forget what's in them and then cannot find them. Phew. Well, when you do have time to organize them I will be enthusiastically grateful. Wish I could do it for you! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > If I'm starting on one tablet of Iodoral (12.5 mg) and moving up by > > > > > > > adding one more tablet per week, how do I tell when to stop or what my > > > > > > > dose should be?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Are you aware of " adrenal fatigue " ? I ask because the way you used to be could have predisposed you to be the way you are now.i.e. A superorganiser,stresses UNLESS everything is in place. Long term stress can lead to adrenal fatigue.Jim > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > If I'm starting on one tablet of Iodoral (12.5 mg) > and moving up by > > > > > > > > > > adding one more tablet per week, how do I tell when > to stop or what my > > > > > > > > > > dose should be?

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Barb, Hee, hee. Brain on vacation. I just tell people " I have no brain " and that keeps them occupied for awhile so they don't notice I'm not tracking. They spend so much time trying to reassure me that I do have a brain or convince me that they don't either that it all works out. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > If I'm starting on one tablet of Iodoral (12.5 mg) and moving up by > > > > > > > > adding one more tablet per week, how do I tell when to stop or what my > > > > > > > > dose should be?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Barb; Are you familiar with temp. charting? You take those first 3 temps, average them, and chart that #. Do it for a minimum of 5 days, (I think 10 is better, especially since menses can effect it).This one technique alone can tell you if you are Hypo, adrenally fatigued or both, and can be used to guide treatment. Check out DRRIND.COM, the " Instructions for Metabolic Temperature Chart " for more info. As far as getting antsy; common feeling, and for me, caused me to take many " shortcuts which led to long delays " .It takes many years for most to become either Hypo or AF. Can't undo in a week what took years to develop.Jim > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thanks Jim - will look at that site soon. I am taking temps & they are all over the place. Have two more days to complete before I take the average. I am treating myself as if my adrenals have just about had it. I am doing the infra red saunas, walking in the am to relax, lots of teas (some licorice root) and enough sleep. Holding off on copper just for now. I asked the endo yesterday and he didn't seem to be interested in testing. He made some comment that it is very difficult to diagnose. I have a complete thyroid work up and mercury but no adrenal > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
