Re: Iodine helping sleep?!

Yes, I sleep really hard.

Iodine helping sleep?!

Does anyone on here find they get a really good night's sleep with iodine? Or, at least, it doesn't have the stimulating effect you might expect, compared with coffee, for example.

Restoration of sleep and dreaming was the first issues iodine remedied for me.LinnOn Mar 7, 2011, at 7:24 AM, joolsweb wrote:

Same here. I was going through a very stressful, emotional time, & was lying awake worrying my butt off for hours every night. Taking iodine gave me my first proper sleep in a LONG time. It seemed practically miraculous.AnneOn Mar 7, 2011, at 8:07 AM, Linn wrote: Restoration of sleep and dreaming was the first issues iodine remedied for me.LinnOn Mar 7, 2011, at 7:24 AM, joolsweb wrote: Does anyone on here find they get a really good night's sleep with iodine?

I'm one who could not get to sleep till about 3am the week I added Iodoral to

the couple of drops p/day of Lugol's plus painting it on. After adding the

Iodoral, the painted on Lugol's did not disappear by evening for the first time

in the year since I'd been doing that, too.

Could it be detoxing that is causing the insomnia rather than directly the

iodine itself?

Glad I'm not the only one who had this very welcome side effect!

Taking all the supporting supplements and taking the iodine in the morning.

I've had mega sleep problems since I was a pre-teen. It is the quest of my life

to sleep well and naturally. When I added the Iodoral, it really got worse, but

I'm extremely sensitive.

Hi ,

In the morning I take 50mg Iodoral (One high potency tab), 300mg selenium, then

another 50mg Iodoral at lunchtime, then 1 - 2 12.5mg in the evening. 2000mg

Vitamin C before bed.

Really vivid dreams last night and didn't want to wake up!

I also take Carson's Omega 3, magnesium malate, and a B vitamin complex in the

morning.

Are you, and those that are having positive sleep effects from iodine, saying

that you're taking iodine at a *specific* time of day to result in good sleep?

Or is it just that you're on iodine period, be it a morning dose or what?

Thanks,

I think I recall a post that said that liver toxicity can result in

sleeplessness, although I think that meant waking up(and unable to return to

sleep)between 2-4 am. Wouldn't adrenal issues cause a similar symptom?

And for what it's worth, an ND at my primary doc's office said that when she

started eating a little bit of organic lamb meat regularly(she was

vegetarian)she eased right out of her insomnia! Baaaaa

Sheesh. Most people COUNT sheep to sleep!

Adrenals can cause sleep disturbance, at least in part because it affects blood

sugar. Low blood sugar can cause the " 3am wake-up call " . I have found that a

protein snack (I usually eat cheese) before bed has helped a lot. I still need

to wake up to pee, but I am not 'wired' when I DO wake up.

I just found out that I am high in cortisol. I suspect this is also a major

part of my insomnia.

Some theorize that iodine neutralizes fluoride and other heavy metals that

accumulate in the pineal gland.

Take your iodine in the morning though, not at night.

Because iodine gives most people energy after taking. It's recommended to not

take after 2:00 in the afternoon.

hi,

so do you think that iodine could replace HC?

if adrenals start healing with iodine, maybe weaning off HC would be possible,

but how do you know? are you guys here in favor on taking temps as the adrenal

group recommends to know if adrenals are well supported?
