Re: Could this vision change be an iodine-related bromide symptom?

Sensitivity to light can be an adrenal issue. I have not heard about the issues you describe.

Could this vision change be an iodine-related bromide symptom?

I noticed one day last week as I went from the bright Michigan winter sunlight into the mall that my eyes took a while to adjust to the darker interior. Today I was out walking for about ten minutes in the deep snow in the backyard, looking down at the snow where I was walking, and when I reentered the dark garage, I could only see a bright green color until my eyes adjusted to the darker lighting. Is this related to the 25 mg Iodoral I've been taking since September? I've been taking all the companion nutrients except ATP cofactors (I thought these were necessary only if one is fatigued, which I am not.) The only other symptom I've noticed is an occasional runny nose. Or should I make an appointment with the eye doctor? Thanks for giving me some "insight"!Wanda

If you're entering your forties, that could account for the light problem, but

to be certain, I'd check with an eye doc. I started having that issue shortly

after turning 40.

The runny nose, if it's thin and clear, is a detox symptom. Bromide, if I recall

correctly.

Don't bother to go to the eye doctor; he/she can't treat adrenal fatigue; which

this is a sign of; specifically, this is a sign of low aldosterone.What you are

experiancing is similar to the " Pupil Test " .

Take a hand mirror, flashlight and go into a dark room.Wait 2 minutes or more,

to allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness.Hold the mirror in front of your

face, close enough that you'll be able to see your pupil responce, when you turn

on the light.Hold the flashlight at the side, pointing towards your face.Hold it

steady once you turn it on; don't have to shine it in the eyes, (this isn't a

DUI check), just aim in the general direction.Turn the lite on, and watch your

pupils; a 'normal' or 'negative' responce, indicating adequate levels of

aldosterone; Pupils are initially Dialated (Big) having adjusted to the

darkness.Within 5 seconds of turning on the light, they constrict and stay that

way, steadily, for 1 minute. A 'positve' or 'abnormal' responce, indicating low

aldosterone; When you first turn on the light, they are Dialated (Big) due to

darkness. They ATTEMPT to constrict, in responce to the light, but can't 'hold'

it, after a couple of seconds, the relax, dialating again, then they try again

to constrict, can't hold, and dialate; Its like if you were lifting a too heavy

barbell; You try to lift it, get it most of the way,....and just can't do it, so

you relax, letting it fall, and try again.I call it " Maccarana eyes " , as the

pupils do the dance.If your not sure, the first time, do the test again; doesn't

cost anything. You can even get an idea of how low you are; Your natural dose of

aldosterone is first thing in the a.m.; the later in the day, the more

obvious/severe the Maccarana eyes will be.There is no other known medical

condition that will cause this 'positive' responce.Other symptoms of low

aldosterone; frequent urination, having to get up at nite 3+ times to pee, and

going 1x hour during day.Salt craving.Eyes sensitive to light.If low in

alsdosterone, probably adrenal fatigued, in which case you may be low in

Cortisol as well; Fatigue, muscle aches are additional symptoms.IF you are

adrenally fatigued, Iodine could SEEM to make this worse, because de-toxing

stresses the adrenals, and your adrenals MAY be too stressed to handle it. Jim

Not sure what you mean by " treating'? Aldosterone IS an adrenal hormone, but not

the only one.The pupil test will only tell you that you are low in

aldosterone.Is this cause of Adrenal Fatigue, or some other cause?

And, what might have caused the Adrenal fatigue? A common cause of Adrenal

Fatigue is,....chronic, untreated hypothyroidism.Suggest going to Drrind.com,

read " Metabolic matrix " , where he compares/contrasts signs, symptoms and lab

tests for AF, Hypo, and Both. Then, Read " Instuctions for Using metabolic

temperature graph " , and print Metabolic temperature graph.Use a GOOD

Thermometer, (I recently switched to a B-D Basal thermometer, costs $9+ ship)

and chart your temp for 7-10 days.You can then use the temps charting to

detirmine if you are AF, Hypo, or both (a common situation).

Temptation is to try treating the adrenals with a glandular supplement.Tried

that.They definetly have aldosterone, cause taking the adrenal glandular changed

my Positive pupil test to negative.And, they have Cortisol.Unfortunately, they

also have adrenaline, which you don't need. Also, the dosage for a physiologic

dose of Cortisol, is say, 25-40 mg., in divided doses. The physiologic dose for

Aldosterone is 1/100th of a milligram! In order to take enough Adrenal glandular

to get the amount of Cortisol you need, you get too much aldostreone, and any

adrenaline is too much if your AF.

Sorry, too much info? Jim
