Guest guest Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 The salt actually clears the bromide from the body. There's a Dr. Brownstein audio that he describes the experience of one of his staff on a very low dose of iodoral -- severe detox symptoms. The symptoms hit her so hard that she declared she'd not take another iodoral. He had her do the salt flushes and take high dose of vitamin C for 3 months and then tested her bromide excretion rate, which had significantly increased. His explanation was that salt was the antidote for bromism. Lorie > > Could someone tell my why salt is so good for when the iodine is making you lethargic. I have been on iodine for 10 days. Within two, the depression began to lift. I have become calmer. It's been good. But I am so tired and a bit " wobbly " feeling at times. The iodine has helped the heart palpatations along with magnesium. But what does the salt do that actually helps with the shakes and palpatations. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 No, any white salt is still refined. Refined salt doesn’t have the minerals it needs, and will make you retain water, while you want to be urinating more and getting the toxins out of your body. The new member doc has an explanation of this I think.

We don't have any unrefined salt, but will be getting some here on thursday, so she'll do salt loading then. In the meantime, would sea salt be ok? It's in rock form but it's white. Would this be better than nothing until thursday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 You don't want white salt. I learned this as a number one rule. I have himalayan PINK salt. The salt is actually pink. I would wait until you have the correct kind of salt to salt load with. Usually all health food stores have this type of salt.Remember, any color but white and also unrefined. You want raw and natural.Good luck! from IllinoisFrom: Estair Kaufman <estairkaufman@...>iodine Sent: Mon, December 13, 2010 8:09:06 AMSubject: Re: Salt I just came across some salt that is from France and they state on the package that it is naturally white.On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 3:58 PM, Donna Iler <Donna@...> wrote: No, any white salt is still refined.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I highly recommend the Himalayan Crystal salt from Swanson.com! I have the big canister shipped right to me along with empty vitamin capsules(and the other supplements except Iodoral). shipping is a flat $5. I just make up a bunch of salt caps and take 2 or 3 caps with my morning regimen, and a couple more whenever I feel detox-tired. It really is so very simple.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I am so sorry to ask this again and again, but I don't feel that I've gotten an answer. What is a safe, strong starting dose for an adult with no health problems, and one for a 6 year old with autism? Second, our salt arrived yesterday. We are going to replace our table salt of course, but should we be taking a " dose " of salt also? All of us? How much? What exactly does this do? (I've looked in the files/links and cannot find what I need) thank you, and again I'm sorry to ask the same thing so many times...this is such a big group I think my questions got lost. Thanks!!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 You have not gotten an answer because there isn't one. Accepted levels of supplementing are anywhere from 6.25 mgs - 50 mgs. Maintenance doses were considered to be 25 mgs for adults but as we learn more it is looking like 50 mgs may be the new needed dose to combat the halides we are bombarded with from all sides. For your child with Autism you can start him slowly at 6.25 mgs or lower and move him up to 12.5 mgs and see how it goes. My daughter is 8 and has been on 12.5 mgs since she was 6 yrs old. Autistic children seem to be very toxic. Have you considered getting an OATS test? You can get them to tell you where in their KREBS cycle they are needing nutrients. My son needed B Vitamins & Co-Q10 plus 5 HTP. I would have never guessed that he needed this but it told me this. He is not autistic but suffers from brain fog. He was also toxic in many environmental toxins which we tested for as well. It was part of the OATS test that we could add on. You can google Organic Acid Test or OATS to find out more info. Where we got it done is not available anymore. You will need to make sure that you are supporting him with selenium (100 mcg at least 3x / week), magnesium - I do 100 mgs a few times a week, Vit C in dosages of 2,000 - 3,000 to help with any detoxing. As for the salt. I put it in dipping cups and let my children eat it out of the cups and put it on their food. They craved it in the beginning and would eat tons of it. I let them. Yes you should be using salt as a supplement. The Iodine docs recommend 1/2 - 1 tsp per day unless you have detoxing symptoms and then you need to do the salt loading protocol - listed in the new members document in the files.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 FWIW I work with some ppl who tried Iodoral but they took less than 50mg per day==one took 25mg, one took 12.5mg. both developed serious health probs--one had surgery and one is on psych meds and they both stopped iodine . I think they could have avoided the health probs if they just had taken enough Iodoral plus companion nutrients and I have urged them to join this group. the one on psych meds is untreated very hypoT.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Bromide is a fire retardant. It is used in electronics, carpeting, furniture, mattresses, cars, sleeping garments, and as a dough conditioner as Brominated Vegetable Oil. BVO is also used in citrus drinks such as Gatorade, Bug Juice and Mt Dew as a way of suspending the flavoring in the drink. You get exposed to bromide from objects by "off gassing". They use Methyl Bromide as a pesticide on Strawberries too. salt Thanks for the info. I don't drink juice concentrates, but I obviously sit at a computer, how do get bromine exposure from a computer? How long does it take a body to clear bromine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
