Re: New, starting w/very low dose

[Guest guest]

I also have a funny feeling around my throat and swallowing... It

is just a background annoyance rather than a real pain.

I felt like even on a smaller dose of 25 mg Iodoral that I am

detoxing. So I have added a Liver Dtx to my regiment. Also, I am

sure that I have adrenal fatigue so am taking vitamins that support

that. I am sure I have been dealing with thyorid and especially

the adrenals maybe as far back as 20 years, with thyroid treatment

for about 4 years.

Hello,

I've been reading through the wealth of information here,

but I just wanted to share my experience to get some

reassurance.

I've had problems with fibrocystic breasts for several

years (ever since I stopped taking BC Pills, I think).

Recently, one cyst developed into an abscess; very

painful, so I finally decided to do something about the

FBD. My Dr. mentioned iodine being used for FBD. I looked

into Iogen (I now realize that this is a very tiny dose;

only 3mg) and started taking it a week ago. On day 2 of

taking the Iogen, I began to get a funny feeling in my

throat. It's slightly sore, but mostly feels like there is

a lump in my throat. Is this my thyroid swelling up to get

the iodine that I am finally giving to it?

As far as thyroid testing goes, my Dr. tested my

antibodies (TPO and Tg) before I started taking the Iogen

and both tests came back negative. Looking through my

medical records, I also discovered that I'd had an

antibody test about 5 years ago (different Dr.) when I was

having major fatigue problems (turned out to be anemia).

This test was also negative.

Looking back at my records (I've been meticulously

collecting my blood test results for years!), my TSH seems

to fluctuate between 1.5 and 2.5. The one time I had free

T3 and free T4 tested, they were a little below mid-range.

My current plan is to double the Iogen and then move on to

taking Iosol. I was leaning toward Iosol because it looks

like it has more molecular iodine. Is this correct? My Dr.

specifically said that molecular iodine works differently

from the iodine in Lugol's and is more effective for

treating FBD.

Thanks for any input/shared experiences/knowledge!

Thanks . I've been going to acupuncture for about a year after I had high

liver enzymes result in a couple of tests. My LAc has been helping me detox my

liver and I have much more energy and much better digestion than I did prior to

seeing her.

I take a couple of Chinese patent medicines, but all 3 of them are geared toward

liver cleansing. Specifically, I take Gui Pi Tang, Bupleurum, and Free and Easy

Wanderer.
