Re: Stable adrenals before starting iodoral?

[Guest guest]

Glad to help. I started with about 3mg a day (1 drop of 2% Lugol's) and slowly

worked my way up so that I could titer the dose and avoid intense detox.

ALso, there is perpetual misunderstanding about the unrefined salt supplement.

Try

as we might, we don't seem to be able to change this. There are two uses of

unrefined salt in the iodine protocol.

1. Every day supplementation of 1/2 tsp every day no matter what, plus liberal

use on

food. With adrenal exhaustion, you need to increase your salt intake even

higher. I

used at least 1 TABLESPOON every day, sometimes a lot more, and lots on food.

Unrefined salt cannot hurt you. It's the refined stuff that throws your mineral

balance

off and therefore causes illness. I could go on and on about unrefined vs.

refined salt

but it is IMPERATIVE that you take the daily supplement.

2. IF AND WHEN detox symptoms show up, one can " salt load " to stimulate

urination

and wash the detox byproducts out of the body, thus relieving the symptoms. Salt

loading is done on an as-needed basis, OVER AND ABOVE the daily supplement

intake. So for instance if you get a detox headache, you can salt load and once

urination starts the headache should fade. In fact, you can be sure that your

symptom is bromide detox if it does fade with the salt loading. However, some

detox

symptoms are too deep to respond to salt loading, so not all bromide detox

symptoms

will fade with salt loading. The bromide acne is one-- once the acne process is

started in the skin, it will take more than just salt loading to reverse and

heal.

Generally speaking, if acne shows up, you need to back off on the dose and work

on

your detox pathways, which includes soaking your dose at a lower level in order

for

the body to catch up.

hope this helps,

How do you take the tablespoon of salt. In the protocol, it gives instructions,

but seems to say to only do it for three days. I use a lot of salt on my food,

but didn't realize to take it as a supplement in addition. Any help would be

appreciated. I have difficulty with adrenals, so this could help if I get the

right instructions.

Thanks so much,

Tom

Im starting to wonder if my sea salt is really unrefined. I bought it at whole

foods and it says Celtic fine ground sea salt, but no where on the bag does it

say unrefined. It is mostly white, just very slightly speckled with a little

gray in it. I also have Himalyan sea salt from SunFoods that is very pink but

also does not say unrefined on the bag. (I haven't been using the pink one

because someone cautioned me that it had flouride in it if pink) I seem to get

more of a headache when I take the Celtic sea salt that's why I don't take that

much and sometimes skip it. I actually feel dehydrated if I take too much.

Hmm. I bet it is a mix of refined and unrefined. I will switch to the pink one

and see if I feel better with that.

I also cut my 12.5 iodoral into 4 pieces to start off slow. Today I did take 6

mg and have a slight headache and stiff neck, but that is not that uncommon for

me to feel that way without detoxing. I better switch to the Himalyan salt, I

don't trust the Celtic sea salt from Whole Foods after I really looked at its

color.

Hi MJ,

I would think your Celtic fine ground salt is unrefined as refined salt has no speckles in it, nor is it a little gray. Refined salt is always a pure white colour. I have never seen refined Celtic Salt. And when Celtic salt is fine ground, it can appear whiter than when the Celtic is left unground in the bigger clumpy crystals. In other words, I would guess your Celtic salt is fine. There are many conflicting reports about Himalayan salt being naturally high in fluoride, so I personally won't use it. But it is a personal choice, of course. If you are not sure about your Celtic Salt from Whole Foods, you could call them and ask your questions about it.

Best,

Thanks, I looked the brand up on line and it is dried at low temperatures but

not refined. Selina Naturally is the name. I think you are right about the

fine ground just looking more white.

I'm going to be more consistent with the sea salt and see how I feel. It is so

easy to develop " theories " about what is making me feel worse and stop something

that I really need.

Thanks

The term " Celtic sea salt " is legally required to be actually Celtic sea salt,

so I doubt

there is really a problem with your salt. But different people respond

differently to

different unrefined salts. I suggest trying Redmond's Real Salt.

I'm sorry, but you're misinterpreting the material in the Guide. there are, as

I've said,

two different ways that salt is used in the iodine protocol, one as a daily

supplement,

and two as a temporary additional amount to fight detox symptoms. You're mixing

up

the two.

There is a list of companion nutrients. Unrefined salt is on that list. Those

are to be

taken every day.

I take my daily salt supplement (1/2 tsp a day now that my adrenals recovered)

in

water and drink it down. When I was taking a tablespoon and more a day, I did

the

same thing, just divided it over the day. One way to do it is to measure your

supplement amount for the day and make sure you take the whole thing, either on

food or in water or put it in gelcaps and swallow it down, or some people just

take a

pinch in their mouth many times during the day. It's up to you what works best.

clearer?

Just wanted to let you guys know that I am feeling better after only 3 days on

the iodine (3 mg)!!!!! My mood is better, my head feels less heavy, and although

I'm still tired after work, I'm not experiencing as many of the symptoms that go

along withmy fatigue like brain fog, heavy head, and frustration/irritability.

I increased my sea salt intake to 1/2 tsp a.m, sea salt flush before lunch, and

I'm drinking about twice as much water as before. Should I do the 3 mg for

about 2 weeks before increasing? I'm feeling pretty hopeful!! Thank you so much!

That's great, MJ. Iodine does make a big difference in mental clarity for me too. in AlaskaOn Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 2:58 PM, health43mj <mjsieber@...> wrote:

Hi MJ,

3 mg is a very tiny dose. Why are you starting so small? It's totally up to you, of course, but many start higher (12 mg or even 50mg.) There is no reason to wait weeks before increasing. One question, you wrote you did a salt flush before lunch. Did you mean you did the Salt Loading Protocol? If that is what you meant, please realize that the Salt Protocol is only done when one is experiencing detox symptoms, as written about in the Guide to SUpplementing with Iodine in our Files. Daily, however you do want to take about 1/2 tsp or more of Celtic salt (this can be taken on your food throughout the day, or in one gulp in water, or both. Are you taking the other companion supplements? Please be sure you do.

Happy to hear you are feeling better! Please do keep us up to date!

Best,

Yes, just to reinforce that you can increase the dose as you wish and feel

comfortable. If you start to feel detox symptoms, just back down the dose a

bit. The

iodine won't hurt you, so it's really only the detox symptoms that determine how

much/how fast.

I'm an advocate for starting at low levels, but you will be amazed at the good

things

that happen for you once you get above 25mg.

I too had brain fog that was addressed by LDN for me, but it wasn't until the

iodine

protocol that it really went away and I got loads of energy (and subsequently

lost 30

unwanted pounds without trying).

Do you think this is because the fat tissue released toxins once you started the iodine?

I think clearly the fat tissue released toxins and reduced, but I think the

mechanism for that happening was my metabolism finally got to a normal

functional level (which is thyroid function), definitely because of the iodine

protocol.

I think I am on day 5 of taking 3 mg daily and today is the first day with detox

symptoms. I also did not get much sleep last night so I could just be feeling

bad from that too. More tired and irritable, sleepy, achy and stiff, and

burning eyes with mild headache. I just did one round of the sea salt protocol

to help.

I was also wondering if there was anything I should know regarding temping while

taking the iodoral? Based on some advise from the adrenal group I'm going to

make some changes like adding in 450 mg of licorice and slightly increasing my

nature throid. Will the iodoral increase my temp as I increase the dose? I'm

going to start back at temping tomorrow before i make the changes. The adrenals

group does not recommend taking iodine so I was not given any feedback

regarding the iodine. I only take 64 mg of nature throid and my recent labs for

my thyroid were still so low.

Thanks

It sounds like you're not taking the daily unrefined salt supplement. Are you?

Not getting sleep will create all those symptoms. It is normal for detox

symptoms to be delayed even 10-14 days at a new dose. It varies with the

individual. Many people have their temp raise to a healthy level once they get

enough iodine on board every day.

Extra daily salt, Vit E, extra Vit C are all good for adrenal support.

I take 1/2 tsp sea salt each morning as soon as I wake up and sometimes do

another 1/4 tsp later in the day. it gags me if it is too strong so I have to

mix it with a lot of water. As a result, I can't drink it too late in the

evening or too close to my meals. I will try to increase at least to 1 tsp a

day and see how that goes. I also put a lot of sea salt on my food.

Still not feeling so great today, but there are so many factors that could be

contributing. It is close to ovulation and I usually feel worse at this time of

the month. My doctor also gave me something for digestive health that has

grapeseed extract in it, so this could be some kind of die off. My doctor

recommended a mineral supplement that I started on Friday and it already has 200

mcg of potassium iodide so technically I increased my iodine from 3 mg to 5 mg.

I just looked at the bottle and realized!

I have off tomorrow and I plan on taking a break form the iodoral and taking

more sea salt. Can't wait to go to bed early tonight! My dog is better now so

he should not be waking me up to go outside because of diarrhea!

I have off tomorrow and I plan on taking a break form the iodoral and

taking more sea salt. Can't wait to go to bed early tonight! My dog is

better now so he should not be waking me up to go outside because of

diarrhea!

Oh, I think you might be right. That is only .2 mg! That's nothing!

I wasn't really suggesting that you take more than the suggested salt

supplement, just wanted to make sure you're taking it.

200mcg is 2/10s of 1mg, so no you didn't go from 3 to 5mg.

Fatigue and feeling out of sorts are both bromide detox symptoms. But if you

normally feel bad at this time of the month, please don't blame the iodine now.

That's what Western medicine does, is blame iodine any time anyone has the

tiniest amount of it.

You have normal legitimate reasons for feeling bad. Or, even at your very lose

dose, it could be some bromide detox.

Just wanted to update.

I actually got stable temps for the first time while taking iodine! Well, they

are stable if you allow for a .1 additional increase after ovulation.

98.3

98.3

98.4

98.3

98.6 (increase in progesterone after ovulation)

98.5

So today I increased my nature throid by 16 mg (just a small amount) and

increased my iodoral to 6 mg. Ive had a headache, stiff neck, and tired burning

eyes for about 3-4 days now but I don't really think it is from the iodine. I

even did a coffee enema on Thursday and felt worse afterwards so it is most

likely not detox. Usually I feel better a day or 2 after I ovulate so I'm about

to take some sea salt just in case it is the iodine. Maybe I will do another

coffee enema tomorrow.

My last thyroid labs showed I was still very hypo but my temps are very close to

98.6. Does the iodine increase temps?

Yes, iodine helps raise low body temps (does not raise temps if temps are

already normal).

It did mine!

I am hoping that iodine will help my low body temperature normalise.

My GP saw nothing wrong with a consistent morning temperature of 34.4c (about 94f)!

Re: Re: Stable adrenals before starting iodoral?

Yes, iodine helps raise low body temps (does not raise temps if temps are already normal).

Hi,

I have read through a few of the replies to this topic and wanted to add this in

case it hasn't been mentioned. I have been supplementing with iodine for 2

weeks. The 1st 3 days, I started with 25mg. I felt nothing so for the next 3

days, I increased to 50mg's. (I should mention that I did not do the salt

protocol because I did not know about it until I became a member here.) At 50

mg, I still didn't feel anything-good or bad but I did break out on my face a

little. Days 7-9 I increased Lugols to 75mg...nothing. I am currently talking

125mg broken down to 2 doses (after breakfast and 3 hours later with a snack). I

take all the companion supplements-since day 1. I noticed a little bit more

energy and can go through the day without a nap as long as I get my 8 hours a

night. I asked my herbalist why I haven't experienced any real detox symptoms

and she asked me if I was still taking the Ashwagandha she recommended to me. I

told her yes, for 3 months now, and she said that's why. She recommended it for

me because I was very stressed and was gaining weight rapidly. (stopped gaining

weight 3 weeks after supplementing) She says it also supports adrenals, thyroid,

and has many other benefits. So when I got home, I did a search and found this

site: http://www.ashwagandha-benefits.com/

It did mention that people with auto-immune diseases should not take this

without doctors consent and also pregnant women so please read warnings.

I was fully prepared to experience detox symptoms and was expecting them to be

pretty bad since I am also aggressively treating a candida overgrowth. The most

I have experienced was mild nasal stuffiness the first 2 days and a mild

breakout on my face. I thought for sure my adrenals were shot due to how sick

I've felt for the last 10 years. I believe the Ashwagandha saved me from most of

the 'healing crisis' I was told I would encounter.

Hope this helps someone
