Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hi , I just started taking Lugol's last week, at 2 drops every day, and I've broken out with a rash or hives on my face. I thought it was due to the ACV and honey I've been drinking as well. It itches like crazy, but it's lessening from my taking Quercetin. Thank you for posting this. I'm going to reduce my Lugol's to 1 drop and stop my ACV use all together until my face clears up. Then see if I can handle 2 drops of Lugol's. In the meantime, I'll take my usual vits and up my use of milk thistle for liver support. Eating melons or drinking sodium bicarbonate w/water is supposed to help with kidney function too. Feel better soon, Sheila > Vic mentioned the acne/rashes are the kidneys liver not functioning properly.I'm on the protocol of salt water, vit c etc etc, plus compounded thyroid extract & progesterone cream compounded. > But is it time for a break from the Lugols?

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 When detox symptoms become uncomfortable, you either have to reduce the dose on the detoxing agent, or you need to improve the function of the detox pathways. Try a detoxing bath or a FIR sauna, perhaps -- increase water intake. You have to change one side of the equation or the other.Lots of people seem to find that a liver cleanse helps -- again, working on a detox pathway.AnneOn Apr 17, 2011, at 9:42 PM, ownphysician wrote: Hi all !

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 ,It sounds like you were taking iodine without the selenium. You really need to be taking the whole protocol always to help your body. You mentioned that you just found selenium drops. Selenium is especially important. If you were not doing the whole protocol, I would start there, and if the detox continues, then get some liver cleansing and back down for a while.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Thanks Donna in IL! That was a typo on my part. I do always take selenium but I found some in drop form that really kicked in for me. Before that I was taking yeast bound selenium from blackmores. Your advice still is very helpful and backing down is the go! Thanks for your support everyone! in Australia > > , > It sounds like you were taking iodine without the selenium.
