Guest guest Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Danalee-- Here is the email about one approach to affordable iodine protocol. Source links affordable companions and Lugol's. My email program doesn't handle links well, so if these don't work, just got to www.vitacost.com and plug in the relevant search terms and you'll find the products. You don't have to buy from vitacost, this is just an example of how one can do the iodine protocol inexpensively. You need the companion nutrients to help the iodine be used properly in your body and to assist with detox. Below is a post I wrote up that gives sources for things that I buy: Vit C, Ester C: $18.85 for 90 days at 2000mg/day (minimum requirement) Magnesium glycinate: $16.40 for 90 days worth at 400mg/day Selenium l-selenomethionine: $9.00 for 100 days worth at 100mcg/day (min.) Real Salt unrefined salt: $5.69 for 26 ounces, 6 months worth That totals out to be $49.94 for 3 months worth of the companion nutrients, plus the unrefined salt will last for 6 months. That is not expensive, although I understand that it can be hard to come up with the money to start with. Vitacost, the supplier with these prices/products, has a flat shipping fee of $4.99 for any amount. But if you buy over $49 worth, shipping is free. So the above order (links below) would get free shipping. I would suggest adding perhaps the liquid Vit D3 drops ($10), which is 900 doses of 2000IU D3, because it's such a great deal on D3. Anyway, just a suggestion. I am big on finding the best deals. --------------LIST----------- Ester C is one of the best, most bioavailable Vit C to buy. It stays in circulation in the body for 24 hours. It's $18.85 for 180 tablets of 1000mg, which you'd take 2 a day for the minimum dose, so that's 90 days worth. http://www.vitacost.com/American-Health-Ester-C-with-Citrus-Bioflavonoids-1000-m\g-180-Vegetarian-Tablets Here is the magnesium I am using right now-- mag glycinate does not have the laxative effect that other forms of mag have. Two tablets makes 400mg magnesium, which means the bottle is a 90-day supply. http://www.vitacost.com/Kal-Magnesium-Glycinate-400 You also need selenium and the methyl form is best. Here is an good deal, it's 50 to 100 days' worth, depending on whether you take 1 or 2 caps a day: http://www.vitacost.com/Life-Extension-Se-Methyl-Selenocysteine You also need unrefined salt, and the brand Real Salt is the least expensive in the USA. You can order that at Vitacost: http://www.vitacost.com/Redmond-RealSalt-Natures-First-Sea-Salt-Fine-S You can also buy Celtic Sea Salt from Vitacost, just search for it. In addition to taking a certain amount each day, you and all your family will use only unrefined salt in all your cooking. Also, if you have detox symptoms, you will do what is called " salt loading " which helps the body wash out the toxins that are causing the symptoms (can be headaches, sleepiness, irritability, many things). This is the best D3 that I have found-- cheapest by far and easiest to take. It is simply D3 and olive oil, and 1 drop is 2000iu D3. There are 900 drops in the bottle, for $10. Very easy for anyone to take. http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Liquid-Vitamin-D-Drops-2000-IU-900-serving There is also a lower-dose drop for children, 900 servings of 400iu for $9.00: http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Baby-Ds-Liquid-Vitamin-D-Drops So you need unrefined salt, magnesium, selenium, and Vitamin C, plus the iodine source. Vit D3 is excellent to add because it's so important for healing and health. The least expensive source of Lugol's (by far) is on ebay. Lugol's is almost impossible to find at regular stores or pharmacies, and it's usually a lot more expensive. This seller is trustworthy, I have bought from him. Seller name is The_Full_Orchestra. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lugols-solution-4-fl-oz-2-2-iodine-/320674963885?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 & hash=item4aa9b7a1ad Another trustworthy ebay seller of Lugol's is, seller name NassauConnection: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-oz-Lugol-s-Solution-Lugols-2-2-Iodine-Soluti That link is probably broken too. hope this helps, -- Attachments: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\WPM$59BE.PM$ The following section of this message contains a file attachment prepared for transmission using the Internet MIME message format.
