Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi MJ,Yes, you could be detoxing. Are you taking all the companion nutrients? That is essential to helping your body properly use the iodine. 1 ½ tsp of salt so quickly may be too much at one time. Take ½ tsp with water, wait a half hour, then repeat until you are urinating frequently. You don’t need to take that much all at once.

I even had trouble sleeping the last couple nights because my hips and low back are so achy. I recently increased my iodoral to 12.5 mg so this could be detox. I'm also on day 26 of my cycle and have not yet ovulated so something is also going on with my hormones. I just did three 1/2 tsp glasses of sea salt followed by a glass of water and I'm about to take a Mg salt bath. I feel a little better, but I did yesterday after getting out of bed and moving around. The sea salt is giving me diarrhea. Should I do more or hold off? How soon after stopping iodine should I feel better if it is detox?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks, I will space it out the sea salt better today. I am a little better today so I think I will stay off the iodoral for at least 3 days to see if it helps. I did recently run out of my mineral complex and have only been getting about 50 mg of selenium that's in one of my other vitamins. Would taking the iodine with out enough selenium make me achy? Or would I just not be utilizing the iodine in by body as efficiently? MJ > > Hi MJ, > Yes, you could be detoxing. Are you taking all the companion nutrients?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Selenium - iodine balance is really important.On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 5:10 AM, health43mj <mjsieber@...> wrote: Thanks, I will space it out the sea salt better today.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well, I am definately less stiff and my back and hip pain is almost gone! The other thing I noticed is that the eczema on my hands is 75% gone after 3 days off of the iodine! My sinus stuff is unchanged so I do not think that is a detox thing. I do also notice that I am a lot more tired and sleepy, like I forgot to take my NTH. I'm looking forward to taking it again tomorrow! My body definately needs the iodine. Should I go back on the 12.5 mg and stop again for 2-3 days if the eczema comes back? Or just go back down to 6 mg a day? I spaced out the sea salt today and also took 200 mg of selenium along with my other supplements. When would I increase to more than 12.5 mg? Should I wait until I'm no longer having any detox symptoms? Thanks for the help, MJ > > > > > > Hi MJ, > > > Yes, you could be detoxing.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 MJ, I am doing the exact same as you are. I can take 1/2 of an iodoral every other day and have to stop. I get very tired and sleepy, feel like I have no thyroid meds in me at all. My neck gets stiff and I ache all over. The sinus stuff is detox because I have that bad. Headaches also. I am doing all the companion nutrients, salt protocal. I must be full of toxins also, but it's the one thing that has made my hair stop falling out and I refuse to quite. I'm thinking maybe going to lugols so I can slowly raise. I would love to get to 25 or 50 mg but until I figure out how to detox more I can't do it. It takes about 2 days to get to feeling better from the detox and then I start again. I think my hair alone has proven I needed Iodine bad. I'm so stiff! Detox? > > > > > > > > > > > > I feel so stiff I feel like I'm 90 years old! I even had trouble > > sleeping the last couple nights because my hips and low back are so > > achy.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yep, you are getting the same type of detox symptoms as me! That's great that it is helping your hair growth! Yes, I think I will have to do the same. I may even do only 3 mg every other day. Its frustrating because I know I need the iodine, but I just can't keep putting myself through feeling so awful every day! are you taking TLC for detox? I just started it and I think it is helping. I only do 1 scoop right now because it upsets my stomach. MJ > > > > > > > > Hi MJ, > > > > Yes, you could be detoxing.
