Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Dr Abraham recommends 50 mgs of Iodoral for 6 mos to become saturated. But this isn't happening to many of us and this is due to bromide toxicity, continued exposure to halides as well as symporter defects. What the body doesn't need is flushed out but if your symporters are not functioning then it is flushed out too so there is an issue with knowing how much you are absorbing. This is where a loading test with bromide levels (www.hakalalabs.com ) is valuable. I have been on Iodoral since Feb 2006. I have been taking amounts anywhere from 50 to 125 mgs during that time. I am not saturated and still bromide toxic. I will be retesting again this year to determine my status as I have not done it in a while. Steph Dosages of Iodine I read from posts that some are consuming rather high dosages of Iodine. I thought Dr Abraham suggested a single serving of Iodoral per day for six months. Is that correct ?At what point does Iodine become a source of intoxication? IE too much for your system to handle ? How can you determine this?Do you slowly ramp up to the suggested (by Dr Abraham) level with supporting nutrients ? Or do you start with the one serving plus supporting nutes ?Personally I don't find six months too long to attain optimal levels of this important nutrient. I would enjoy the improvements along the way. I believe that consistancy wins over high dosage loading when it comes to nutrients. The body can only deal with so much.A final thought: I find that exercise, even if its just brisk walking, helps the body to adapt to challenges brought about by dietary changes or neutraceutical consumption.Be well, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Steph, Please do not take the following statement as negativity or criticism. That being said.... How us it that you have been taking 50-125 mg of iodine a day since 2006 and you are still not at an appropriate saturation level? I am new to this so please bear with me:) C.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Steph, Thank you, I understand a bit more now. However, it seems like you have been on the program a long time and still are not saturated. It seems to me that I read about Iodine " trumping " bromides and flushing them. Is it possible that you are having intakes of bromide that are impeding your saturation of iodine ? This is all very new to me. I am very curious about consistent higher dosing not producing saturation. There must be a measurable explanation. As mentioned by another poster, this is not meant to be critical in any way... I'm just curious to understand why... Be well, > > Dr Abraham recommends 50 mgs of Iodoral for 6 mos to become saturated.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011  I am very toxic in bromide and have symporter damage from the 3 rounds of radioactive iodine for thyroid cancer. My body does not detoxify well and since the symporters don't work well they don't take in iodine effectively. It wasn't until I moved up to 125 mgs that I started to make progress. Lower doses did nothing to detox. Steph Dosages of Iodine I read from posts that some are consuming rather high dosages of Iodine.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I just described why to another member. Yes it is very possible that I am being exposed. I work on a computer almost all day long. They are known to be high. I live in a newer home - carpets have it. I have press board kitchen cabinets - that has toxins in it. I have a wood laminate floor = more toxins. I drive a van with it in. You just can't get around it and if your detox pathways such as mine are compromised it will be harder for you to get rid of what you are exposed to.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Just a helpful addition, for those who may not realize it, and which I realized upon reading Dr. Brownstein: Large doses(up to 10mg)of Vitamin C are what promote the healing of defective symporters. I assume that is one of the reasons it is part of the iodine protocol. Marcy > > Dr Abraham recommends 50 mgs of Iodoral for 6 mos to become saturated.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 >I read from posts that some are consuming rather high dosages of Iodine. I >thought Dr Abraham suggested a single serving of Iodoral per day for six >months. Is that correct ? Our iodine protocol does not follow Dr Abraham. He's been a supporter of iodine but there is no way to assert a single length of treatment with iodine that applies to everyone. And, through experience we have found that higher dosages are good and necessary for many. >At what point does Iodine become a source of intoxication? IE too much for >your system to handle ? How can you determine this? There is no " intoxication " not sure what you mean. As has been explained, any excess iodine leaves the body through normal waste channels. The way the body uses iodine is as follows: The thyroid gets what it needs first, followed by the reproductive organs, followed by the skin and other organs and structures, including every cell. Then and only then does the body use iodine to remove bromides and other halides from the body. Sustained use of high doses of iodine is what detoxes the body. We moderns have a problem humans never faced before, and that is the systematic, widespread poisoning of food, water, air, etc. with bromides and other halides. That is why our need for iodine is orders of magnitude greater than it used to be, at a time when iodine is ever more difficult to get in one's diet. >Do you slowly ramp up to the suggested (by Dr Abraham) level with >supporting nutrients ? Or do you start with the one serving plus >supporting nutes ? Dr A is not the authority we follow for the protocol. Whether people ramp up slowly or jump in at 50mg is up to the individual. Many people have fewer detox effects at higher doses, because the body is not struggling to detox. The higher levels allow easier detox. For an authoritative source, we recommend Dr Brownstein's book on Iodine. He also recommends 50mg, and that's where the Iodine dicussion list comes in. We actually are the cutting edge source for info on the iodine protocol. >Personally I don't find six months too long to attain optimal levels of >this important nutrient.

That is your belief but it's not consistent with all facts and is based in Western medical viewpoints, which are also reflected in the ridiculously small RDAs set up for nutrients. The body can deal with a lot, especially core nutrients that it is desperately short of. If you understood how desperately deficient our bodies are of iodine, you would understand the iodine protocol better.

Hunt, plant the gardens, cultivate, build their houses and barns, maintain the animals, etc.Now we have everything at our finger tips. Fast foods, processed foods, hire someone to build our houses, we drive cars instead of horses and walking. We can go to the store and buy instead of sustaining our own lives. God did not make our bodies to go through what we go through today. I really do believe in that.We think our lives are so easy compared to hundreds of years ago but all it has done is create laziness and obesity.Off my soap box for the rest of the day. Don't get me wrong. I love life, I love people but this world is not my own.
