Re: Update--friend w/fibro improving on iodine

[Guest guest]

My friend, my adult daughter, and I all started taking iodine (w/

supplements) a few months ago, and have been building up to 50mgs. I

don't think my daughter isn't taking very much yet, and not always very

regularly, but she says she can tell she feels better.

Here's the really good news: My friend, who is on thyroid meds and has

fibromyalgia has been taking 50mg (or a bit more) for a month and she

says she can tell a BIG difference. (She said she could tell a

difference even at the lower dosage at first.) She has less pain; she

can move better; she feels sharper mentally. I'm so happy to report

this, as she has a hard time and any improvement is so helpful.

I am taking it primarily to help balance hormones and *hopefully* shrink

some large uterine fibroids. No change yet, but I plan on giving it a

few months and then maybe increasing dosage if needed.

Sincerely,

Debbie

I love hearing success stories!! I too have been taking iodine for almost two

months and gradually increased to 50mg. for a little over a week and my body

pain is definitely less. I don't

like labels, so I just say I have body pain. My energy was almost immediate.

My body temperature is still low in the morning at 97.3( it takes forever to

take underarm

before getting out of bed) I really would like to increase my compounding T3 & T

4 and

reduced my synthroid. I thought they were working fine together but now that I

see the body temp. and my increased energy and mental alertness with iodine- I

don't think the synthroid's

been helping me.

It is great news. Debbie, energy levels and brain fog are physically

easier/faster

to change than actual flesh problems like uterine fibroids. So keep at it. You

can be sure that the conditions to allow your body to heal from the fibroids are

being set up and are occurring. Many women have used external painting of

Lugol's and found that really made a difference in getting the fibroids to

shrink.

(Same with fibrocystic breasts. After a few months on iodine I realized that the

fibrocystic issue I had had simply faded away without my noticing, after I'd

been

painting and then sort of forgot about it.)

Always mix the Lugol's in a carrier oil, like coconut oil, castor oil, or jojoba

oil.

The liquid iodine has an oxidative effect, which with daily use eventually

irritates

the skin and causes a dermatitis that is uncomfortable and takes time to heal.

So you want to use a carrier oil (some people use different oils alternating, or

mix oils) to avoid skin irritation from the start.

I recommend painting an amount over and above your supplement amount. We

know that iodine on the skin soaks in and is used by the body, but I feel more

comfortable if folks *add* the paint to their regimen rather than substitute for

oral intake.

Just a personal observation.

Many years ago I had to have a mammogram (ouch- never again!) which showed 35+ cysts which were fine needle aspirated ( ouch again) and shown to be non cancerous.

Even when my cycles finished these lumps remained painful.

Finally they are softening.

So, I will continue with the iodine even if there are no further benefits.

hi I at one time had over 100 of those stupid cysts in my breast . i was sent to a specialist but i had so many he did not know where to start. So I went out searching the benefits of vitamins and found if I were to take 1000 units (mg?) of Vit E that it might get rid of them so I did it for 3 to 6 months and when my next breast exam came up my doctor was feeling my breasts and could not find one. He was so surprised that he asked what I did different. Now he was one to believe vitamin did no good but color our pee so I told him what I had been taking and he was so shocked.
