In the thick of detox: keep going or back off?

[Guest guest]

My quick story: age 39, hair loss, weight gain, low temps, constantly tired.

I've had these symptoms most of my life, but they got worse after the birth of

my son 6 years ago. I started Lugol's 2% in November, could only do 2 drops 2x a

day. I tried to up the drops and times per day, but ended up with horrendous

headaches each time (lasted for nearly two days). About two weeks ago, I started

applying Lugol's to my breasts (fibrocystic) and scalp. Shortly after, all my

symptoms got much worse, and I've gained 8 pounds in these two weeks (all in my

upper body and breasts).

So, I started salt loading on Saturday. After doing it 4x that day, I ended up

with a horrendous headache, general malaise, and acne on my neck (?). I haven't

taken any Lugol's since Saturday morning. The headache is so bad that I can

barely function. I only did the salt load once yesterday and I haven't done it

today.

My question is: should I continue to salt load? I've searched the Q and A and

done a search through the previous topics, but I can't determine what I should

do next. The only thing that's making me feel better is coffee and sugar!

Thank you in advance. This group is amazing!

UPDATE: I went ahead yesterday and did 2 salt loadings followed each time by

large doses of vitamin c. I ended up with an even worse headache, my eyes felt

like they were pounding, my breasts are extremely swollen, my body itches, and I

had extremely odd dreams.

I've been taking high doses of ibuprofen just to get some relief (I am

self-employed and have a family, so I have to function). But after nearly two

days, I'm still miserable and the ibuprofen is not touching the headache.

So, I'm obviously not going to do the salt loading again. I haven't been able to

keep up with the selenium or vitamin c, because all I want right now is to feel

better. Any suggestions on how to feel better quickly and what to do going

forward?

Hi, something I always finds helps so much on a detox is to sauna, it really helps against die off, so a gradual detox and sauna allows you to keep going at it more easily, has helped many of my friends too stick to a plan,

Sounds like you're bypassing your body's ability to detox. Have you done any

type of detoxing prior to starting iodine?

Yes, I did a liver cleanse a few months ago, and the detox was not nearly this

intense. I had no idea that starting iodine nearly two months would produce this

kind of reaction now.

The pain of the headache is getting unbearable. I am an exercise instructor in

addition to being self-employed, so I've had to cancel two days worth of

classes. If I could get rid of the headache, I could manage.

Unrefined salt is to be taken every day, not just sometimes. The term " salt

loading "

refers to a separate, additional amount of salt. But there is a baseline amount

(1/2

teaspoon per day) that is taken every day no matter what, as part of the

protocol.

And even if you're not taking iodine, you should take the salt. The salt helps

your

body get rid of detox materials.

If you are having this much trouble, you need to work on your detox pathways to

increase your body's ability to get rid of unwanted, unneeded detox materials

(bromides that the iodine is essentially kicking off the cell receptors).

I wasn't doing the salt prior to my first salt loading on Saturday. I was only

doing selenium, mag, zinc, and apple cider vinegar. Once I can get through this

headache, I'm going to take a break from everything for a bit. I did a liver

cleanse a few months ago, but the detox symptoms weren't nearly this intense; I

think I need to revisit that before going back to iodine.

Many thanks for the advice.

Anything else as far as detoxing? How about mercury fillings? Adrenal issues?

Linn,I remember my first go around with Iodoral, it was bad after the first week when the headaches started. They are frontal, but seem to move to the top of your head, too-making it feel worse. Mine hurt so bad, my eyes watered constantly-I could get nothing to help cut the pain-Tylenol or Advil. The good thing is they go away in a day or two without taking the Iodine.

Sorry to hear you are going through this. I hope you feel better soon.TamaraOn Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 3:05 PM, Linn <mwm1glm@...> wrote:

If all you've done is one liver cleanse, it would be prudent to add in some kind

of daily liver support too. Livatone Plus by Dr. Cabot is an excellent

product and she has a lot of good article on her website, www.liverdoctor.com.

Start with one pill per day for and up every few days until you're up to 2 in

the morning and 2 in the evening. One of the things that I've seen over the

years is that this type of headache is caused in those who still have mercury

fillings. If that is the case, you'll need to take detox slower than someone

without fillings. Adding in pain killers like Advil, Tylenol, etc. are just

going to burden the liver further and may even make the headache worse. You

could also try adding some herbal teas that help with kidney and liver. Dr.

Schulze makes some excellent products, www.herbdoc.com. Hydration can help with

the headache also, fluoride free water, with 1 lemon and 1 lime juiced in it is

good. You can add the salt into this mixture also. Metagenics Ultra Clear PH

will help with both liver and kidney issues, a tad expensive but well worth IMO.

You also could try taking more magnesium for the headache.

I would check into adrenal testing, if the caffeine and sugar are making you

feel better, sounds like you're taxing the adrenals as well.

Have you had your thyroid tested lately? Some of the issues you state could be

either detoxing issues or thyroid.

You need to salt load to get rid of your headache. Any time I have a head ache or pains I drink my salt water and then copious amounts of drinking water until I start peeing every 15 minutes. That helps flush out toxins. From: smileawhile74 <smileawhile74@...>iodine Sent: Tue, January 10, 2012 12:02:36
