Guest guest Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 LD After reading your post I am wondering if there is a correlation between the MMS and iodine. I haven't had spinal symptoms that you have had but have experienced several of the other along with ear aches and swelling. I have recorded my MMS that I have been taking but haven't recorded the iodine drops and wasn't regular with them. This flare up has happened three times now and I'm wondering if it happens when I add the iodine. I know there are others taking MMS and iodine so there may be another X-factor. I was suspecting possibly teeth but don't know yet. My pain and swelling in the face/ear/sinus/eye was getting to the point I didn't know what else to do so I went to the MD. She wants a cat scan but my insurance won't pay for it unless I go to a specialist and my appointment is next week. In the mean time I have been on traditional antibiotics (which I avoid like the plague) and steroids for swelling. It's been almost two weeks and some of the swelling has gone down and pain has subsided to tolerable level but it hasn't taken the pressure away. I stopped both MMS and iodine during this time because I don't know how it would react with antibiotics. I had gotten up to the 9 drop level of MMS but had to drop back due to herxing. I really didn't want to go to the traditional MD route but don't have enough knowledge as to what to do otherwise. I hope you are able to figure out what is happening with your reactions and please keep us posted. Very curious.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Because of our (wife & I) own thyroid problems- no Doctor involved, can't prove a thing- I have been steadily studying up on iodine supllementation, adjunctive protocols, and halogen displacement. I sure can't say that other halogens will displace iodine if iodine is available, but the idea sure does make sense that the thyroid gland will grab any available halogen in the absence of iodine. On another group, can't remember where now, info was given about how black and green tea (same plant) have become over-burdened with fluorides because of worldwide pollution. The leaves of the tea bush always were concentrators of flourides, but now it has gotten downright scary. Lifelong tea drinker here, Southern by the Grace of God and started drinking sweet iced tea as soon as I was weaned. Years ago I gave up the sugar and started drinking it straight and unsweet. I gave it up cold turkey, threw it out of the house, all of it, even the fancy expensive stuff. I do not mean to let anything else interfere with my endocrine system and my efforts at remedying those problems have been paying off BIGTIME in recent weeks. For stimulation there's always coffee but I drink a lot less of that now too. Herbal teas are not included in this problem. Actually, the best stimulant I know of is a teaspoon of cayenne pepper in water. I'm done with tea. Daddybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Where do folks get these good kinds of iodine? Is it available without a prescription? How do I go about finding some? Thanks, Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 After reading the posts about iodine and "Iodine Fulfillment Therapy", and doing the patch test which showed that I am low in iodine, I ordered the Standard Process Prolamine Iodine 90 (mentioned in the article) from http://www.totaldiscountvitamins.comThe article reinforced for me why the thyroid medicine that I had been prescribed in the past and yet not given the iodine which is necessary to go with it...did not work. Reinforces for me also that I am the one responsible for my health and can't rely on doctors.Caroline Rollinson>> Where do folks get these good kinds of iodine?
