Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi , I lowered my dose from 12 to 6,25 mgs today. I take selenium, vit C, folic acid, magnesium but not in the same time with Iodoral but I take them 3 hours later with iron in order to raise my very low ferritin. Is this OK? If I take vit C, magnesium, folic acid etc with Iodoral I can't raise my ferritin I think... what is your opinion? thank you! > > Are you taking it in the morning?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Me, too. I left off the Iodoral yesterday (began taking it recently, and in the morning only) and slept well. I take Milk Thistle Seed for my liver and am on a very good diet and lots of good supplements to prevent a cancer recurrence. Also,(I recently joined), I've seen the warning not to take Lugol's internally (I've been taking two drops internally a day, plus painting it on), yet others here speak of how many drops they take per day, so that means internally, right? As far as painting it on, I'm finally, after about a year, at the point where it's not disappearing by evening. All this means to cut back? Very unsure what to do... > > > > Are you taking it in the morning? If you take it too late in the day it may keep you awake. How is your liver?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Yes Lugol's is meant to be taken internally. Don't know where you read a warning not to take it that way. It can be painted on as well, but internally is the way most people take it. Have you read the New Member doc.? Are you taking the companion nutrients? These are very important when taking iodine.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi , is gone to a seminar until next week. Yes, it is okay to take those supplements later.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 The warning is for TINCTURE of iodine, not Lugols. With a cancer history, you may need higher levels of iodine. Depending on what type of cancer treatment you had, it may take higher dosage and longer use of iodine to get to saturation. Linn > > > > > > Are you taking it in the morning?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I stopped taking my Lugol’s for a little bit. I was experiencing such sleep problems at night even though I was using it in the morning. I also had high heart palpitations, trouble breathing and my TSH went up as well as feeling very cold. My ND told me to start back up in a few weeks. My iodine test came back high. I think I was just taking too much possibly. What amount should I start back on? I probably worked my way up too quickly to 50 mg before. Lori Re: I can'tsleep Hi , I lowered my dose from 12 to 6,25 mgs today.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I couldn’t either fall asleep or when I did, I was in such a light sleep all night that I felt I wasn’t sleeping. It was awful. My heart would race at night and I was breathing so heavy. I actually got sick because I hadn’t been sleeping very much. My temps also went down quite a bit and then started to increase again when I stopped the iodine. I also started to sleep better. Yes, the thyroid labs were done about a week or so ago. She did a blood test for the iodine, but I would like to do the other test. She said it would be best to be off of it for a few weeks prior to testing so that I don’t have iodine floating around and it would be more accurate. I think she was worried I was taking too much with the symptoms I was having. Thanks Linn! Lori Re: I can'tsleep Do you have recent thyroid labs? What type of iodine test?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi , Have you read the Iodine New Member doc. It's very important that you read that. Much is explained in that document. Unrefined Celtic Sea Salt (I/2 to 1 teaspoon daily), supports adrenals, binds to bromide and assists in removal, supports symporters (sodium iodine symporters or NIS). It's very important when you are taking iodine to utilize the salt liberally on your food to help the toxic halides leave the body. If you start to feel detox symptoms, then you would want to do the Salt Loading, the Salt Loading Protocol is also written out for you in the New Member document.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I don’t know yet. I had saliva tests done and just waiting back for the results. My cycle this month was back to normal also. When I was taking Lugol’s, it was only 24 days with spotting in between. I had no spotting and my cycle was back to 27 days again. I don’t know why that would be. Do you know?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Okay, I went back and read through your posts. You seemed to have had some good resutls to start. It reallly does sound like you were having some detoxing issues. Testing should be able to tell you if there are adrenal problems. You may just need to back your dose down some and work on detoxing, adding in Epsom salts baths, rebounding, salt loading when needed, probiotics would help also. Did you have thyroid testing done prior to starting iodine? If so do you have those labs? You may not have been on an optimal thyroid dosage to start. How long were you off the iodine when you had this latest testing done? And one more, how long were on iodine and what dose? I know you mentioned switching from synthetic thyroid meds to NTH, are you still on the synthetic? In my experience iodine did help to correct hormone issues that I had and I was able to stop taking progesterone and continue with the iodine alone. (Are you taking any other hormones?) Personally I think it's a good idea to have thyroid testing more often than just once a year. I've adjusted my thyroid meds several times over the time I've been taking iodine, with increases and decreases. My TSH is always suppressed, I've never seen the increases that some folks do, but I do monitor my Frees and adjust per those results. Linn > > > > > > Are you taking it in the morning?

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Golda, You can also use Real Salt which www.vitacost.com and others carry online. That is one I use and it is inexpensive compared to prices at Whole Foods locally.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thank you Pam. My biggest concern about salt is whether it's been tested for fluoride content. As it turns out Himalayan Salt, which is touted as being so healthy, has turned out to often have high levels of fluoride. Is anyone aware of a source of this salt that has actually undergone testing for mineral content? Golda Starr www.FluorideDetective.com > > > > > > > > > > Are you taking it in the morning?
