Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hello Marie and Welcome! Yes a B Complex is fine. The ATP Co Factors are not imperative on the Iodine Protocol, as are the Magnesium, Vitamin C, Selenium and unrefined Celtic Sea Salt. I take a B Complex 100 in the am, and it works fine for me. You can take the ATP is you like, but again, they are not required. Kind regards, -Kathleen moderator Hi. New to the group Hello. My name is Marie and I am 35. My problems started 10 years ago when my husband received orders to CO. When bringing up my list of ailments to doctors, I was perscribed anti-depressants 90% of the time and/or claritin for my sinus issues. Tired of anti-depressants making me feel ill or simply trying to make me feel more joyful about my chronic ailments. 2 years ago, I started getting much worse. I have my own business and started mixing up orders or forgetting to order all of the items and sending them incomplete to customers. I gained 60 pounds in 3 months without changing my diet and continuing to exercise. But it didnt bother me as much as the issues with my mind. Weight can be lost. We had moved to a humid climate but my skin was getting drier and I was using as much lotion as I was drinking water- which was about 3/4 of a gallon per day. So I began researching to self diagnose. I've come to the conclusion that I am iodine defficient and most likely have been since I moved out of my parents house. My mother is Japanese (and I grew up in Hawaii) and I consumed seafood at least 3 times a week and had an endless supply of seaweed that I litterally ate by the container! After getting married, I was lucky to be able to afford seaweed once or twice a month and that was if we could find it. All my children have ADHD but my youngest daughter is on the very mild end of it- which I'm not surprised since she is my only child who eats seaweed and has since she was a baby. Instead of putting cheerios in her snack cup, she got (and regularly requested) seaweed. My youngest child suffered the most from my deffiency. He is on the severe end of ADHD and is delayed by a few years.I placed my order for Lugol's and should be getting it by Saturday. I'm looking forward to getting my family and myself healthy and detoxed from the halides and metals. I do have one question. I have bought the selenium and do have magnesium and vit.c. I can't afford to get the ATP at this time but I go have a B-Complex vitamin. Will this be an acceptable substitute for the ATP until I can get one? Or would it just be better to use the B-Complex since all the B are important?Thank you for any help.Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hi I don't know about the stuff you asked about but noticed you said you were going to get your family started on it too. It may be MUCH cheaper to make your own rather then buying it in the 1 oz bottles. I included the video on how easy it is to make your own Lugols. raeRe: Making Lugols - Iodine Video, Recipe, Sources and ExpenseShow DetailsFrom: Rae Dube <tooblessttobstressed@...>"iodine " <iodine >Sent: Tue, December 13, 2011 9:33:24 AMSubject: Re: Making Lugols - Iodine Video, Recipe, Sources and ExpenseFrom: jcd in es <jcdines@...>iodine Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 12:08 AMSubject: Making Lugols - Iodine Video, Recipe, Sources and Expense I thought I'd share this with others who are also interested in DIY Iodine.I found this video on how to make Lugols Iodine on youtube...........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3W8SjmA4qwThen I went to the ebay side recommended by and found the 2 ingredients needed:1) 45g pure elemental iodine crystals (the recipe calls for 44 grams) $24.95 plus $2.22 for S & Hhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/45g-pure-elemental-iodine-crystals-/280731875297?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 & hash=item415cec77e12) Pure granular ACS grade potassium iodide, 4 0z. $22.50 plus $2.64 (the recipe calls for 88 grams)http://www.ebay.com/itm/4oz-114g-potassium-iodide-ACS-grade-/280651699034?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 & hash=item415825135aThe recipe indicated that you need a QUART jar .... so in the end you will have approx a quart of (more or less) 5 - 7 % Lugols Iodine which is equal to 32 ounces.The costs for 32 ounces of this strength would be $24.95 and $22.50 PLUS $$2.22 and $ $2.64 for Shipping and Handling (unless he combines and discounts S & H)for a maximum total of $52.31 unless he adds taxdivided by 32 ounces ends up costing $1.64 per ounce of 5 - 7 % strength Lugol'sSource for BOTTLES (and perhaps the ingredients, later on)This is the gentleman (Bill) on ebay from whom I ordered my bottles. He is super fast, professional, reliable, compassionate and wants you to be pleased with your order. When I first ordered from Bill, pointed out that my bottles had 'plastic' droppers.This was my mistake, as I had not noticed it in the description and to be honest, didn't even know to get glass instead of plastic. When I asked Bill if he had some glass inserts that he could sell me, (to replace the plastic ones I, now, had) he replied 'no' but I will order some and mail them to you .... no charge. He would not even let me pay for the shipping. So........ this is a really 'classy' guy!!!http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amber-Glass-Dropper-Bottles-2-oz-16-bx-/290608294935?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 & hash=item43a99aac17He put this 'lot' together especially for me when I told him that I needed (16) 2 oz bottles for my 32 ounces of iodineI'd be making.Bill now offers both plastic AND glass droppers .....so, you need to indicate that you would like the 'glass' droppers.His price for each 2 oz bottle comes out to $1.36 per. I also asked him if he could sell us the ingredients. He has put in anapplication with the authorities and is awaiting approval. He says the process seems to be lengthy and not easy.______________________________________________________These recipes are from /Israel:I make my own Lugol's original formula (5%). 85ml distilled water mixed with 10g postassium iodide (KI), then add 5g iodine crystals(I). It will need to set in a covered container to allow all the crystals to dissolve.Dose equivalent is 6.25mg/drop (vertical) when the iodine is in solution.You will need a scale to measure with. Water weighs one gram/ml. Storage period is indefinite with a properly sealed glass bottle. Rubber stoppered bottles typically deteriorate within a year.========================Formula to make 5% Lugol's iodine one ounce batch:2.84g KI1.42g I24.14ml HOH=========================Here is the method for making 5% Lugol's iodine (6.25 mg/drop) in a nutshell:1. Obtain a clean, empty 1 quart container (with lid)2. Fill about halfway with distilled water (RO water is also okay)3. Put in 44 grams of elemental iodine crystal (you need a scale) My scale was so small I had to put the crystals on a thin sheet of paper and then on the scale ... the crystals started to discolor the sheet .... so you might want to think of the way you're going to do this. I don't know if the paper contaminated my iodine or vice-versa4. Stir with non-metal spoon (wood is okay).5. Put in 88 grams of potassium iodide, and stir some more.6. Fill jar to about 80% of capacity with distilled water.7. Let it set overnight. If cap is metal, put waxed paper between it and the jar; iodine attacks metal.8. The next day, it is ready for use. For me, the next day still had crystals that were pretty bigand had not totally dissolved. I checked with and she said it was fine to go ahead and drink and thatthe crystals actually take more than a few days to dissolve completely ... sure enough .... some days later, no more crystals!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 The ATP (sp?) is not required. If you are getting the B vites that are in it, in that dosage, above and beyond your other supplementation, you're getting it. But you don't have to take the Bs to do the protocol, that is optional. Some people do best when it is added, and it's worth doing, but if money is a problem, just make sure you have the rest. You didn't mention unrefined salt. THAT IS required. Your children need iodine too. -- moderator On 20 Jan 2012 at 0:35, dragongoddess24 wrote: > Hello. My name is Marie and I am 35.
