About heart problems for JOT

[Guest guest]

Dear JOT,

I follow the Iodine Protocol and have had a lot of success with it as I related in the thread about recovering from Hashi. However, now that I have got rid of a lot of my symptoms, I notice that I have a regular hard heart beat every night when I lie down to sleep. (Before I was such a mess it was hard to isolate one symptom from another!). Whilst this is not an insurmountable problem, I think it is not good. Could this be related to lack of magnesium? I take 300 mg / day. Should I up it?

Hi :

I'm glad you speak up about your Hashi's on this site because I know you have

had a lot of experience with it and have done so much positive work with the

Iodine protocol and bringing your antibodies down. I'm one of those people who

love magnesium for just about every ailment. The Iodine protocol states to take

at least 400 mgs of iodine but more if needed. I was recently hashing this over

with my own medical advisor. I told her I take 400 mgs in the morning and 400

mgs at night and she was thrilled. Said she did the same thing.

When you first up your magnesium you may experience a bit of loose bowels just

like when you up your Vitamin C...until your body regulates itself. I would

suggest you try the morning and night ritual and see if you have improvement.

I'll have to look it up but I don't think you can overdose on magnesium. My

hubby says they give it in liquid form to patients in elderly care in very, very

high doses so they can sleep at night. I think he said 20 grams.....

Cheers,

JOT

I don't wish to go into unnecessary detail, but I think that you can't overdose either, because the overload manifests itself as an upset tum! It's like iodine and the thyroid. Excess is just eliminated. I shall go up to bowel tolerance and see if that improves things.

I think that the Iodine Protocol has probably saved my life or at least saved me from being very ill. My Mum was already ill with 2 breast cancers at my age and my symptoms of bad health were very similar to hers. (Fibrocystic breast disease). I found the Iodine Protocol just in the nick of time. (Age 45) I had almost given up on it bringing down my ABs. I have been taking it for nearly 3 years now and my last ABs before Christmas were quite definately down, one of them below alert level. Anyway, it just goes to show you shouldn't give up. I would have still taken it anyway because of the good it was doing my breasts even if it hadn't worked for the Hashi ABs. If I get my ABs both down below alert level for my next set of labs I shall post them so that everyone can see that this can be done and that doctors talk RUBBISH and are ignorantly pessimistic.

Meanwhile I'm off to take a magnesium tablet before bed.

I shall post if it works. Might take a few days though. Thanks for your help.
