Re: j. crow's 2% lugol's solution

[Guest guest]

Hi Lois,

5-6 mgs of Lugols at 2% is 1 drop (1/2 Iodoral tab)

10-12 mgs Lugols at 2% is 2 drops (1 Iodoral tab)

15-18 mgs Lugols at 2% is 3 drops (1.5 Iodoral tabs)

20-24 mgs Lugols at 2% is 4 drops (2 Iodoral tabs)

30-36 mgs Lugols at 2% is 6 drops (3 Iodoral tabs)

12.5 mgs of Lugols at 5% is 1 drop (1 Iodoral tab)

25 mgs of Lugols at 5% is 2 drops (2 Iodoral tabs)

50 mgs of Lugols at 5% is 4 drops (4 Iodoral tabs) and so on.

Iodine aka Lugols will detox fluoride, bromine etc. This will cause bad symptoms

in some people depending on the toxic levels in the body. Dr Brownstein suggests

consuming 1/2 - 1.5 teaspoons of unrefined sea salt daily.

During the detox phrase I found drinking 1/2 teaspoon of Celtic sea salt (or

other UNrefined sea salt) in 1/2 cup of water every 30-45 minutes during the bad

detoxing greatly helped. Remember to immediately drink a full glass of water

12-16 ozs after you drink the sea salt. Do this every time. NOt fun, I know,

but it really works.

I have never taken the 50-100 mgs that Dr Brownstein recommends. In fact, I

believe the amount of iodine a person needs is highly individualized, even Dr

Brownstein stresses that. I increased my Iodoral very slowly and found that one

tablet really helps but anything above that I feel is too much. This could an

area in which people in general and, of course, Hashis get into trouble with

supplementing with too high a dose of Iodoral or Lugol's.

My biochemist doc made this very clear to me and told me that I must begin with

small amounts and gradually increase over time. He said that some patients only

need a half of one pill while others can take up to 4 or more. He had me SLOWLY

increase until I felt awful and then had me go back to where I felt great, which

was at one tablet. I have stayed at that amount since, that was over six years

ago.

I do NOT suggest increases more often than bi-weekly. The body needs time to

adjust.

Also, research by Dr. Brownstein says that if we add vitamins B2 (100 mgs) and

B3 (500 mgs) into our daily vitamin regiment we will likely see even better

results with the oxidation and organification of iodine.

For poor Adrenal health supplement with 2,000 mgs Vitamin C, 200-400 mgs

Magnesium, 200 mcgs of selenium and, of course, a 1/2 teaspoon of Celtic Sea

Salt. And drink plenty of water. Consider an Adrenal glandular and liver

detoxifier such as milk thistle, if needed.

Note: I still consume all these vitamins and minerals everyday with my Iodoral.

Good luck!

HTH,

Lois,

DO NOT take the Cytomel at bedtime if you already experience an ill reaction.

The reason you are getting the rapid heart rate and champs is because the

adrenals cannot not deal with the Cytomel. The adrenal glands are too weak to

handle the stress of the body's normal metabolic energy, thus, forces a

down-regulation of energy production.

Sometimes this happens when there are hormone imbalances such as too much

estrogen and too little progesterone in the body. Also, the bad American diet is

a huge factor, too. Regardless, if the adrenals are weak, then even normal

thyroid activity puts a huge burden on them.

You must FIX the Adrenals first or at the very least, FIX the thyroid and

adreanals together. Taking thyroid meds can sometimes make your health much

worse when AF is present.

From what you are writing, evidentially, Dr Haskell is misleading you or you are

NOT understanding and not following his guidelines closely.

A must for AF: Take B-Complex Vitamins (lots of B5), Vitamin C and Antioxidants,

Amino Acids, Healthy Good Fats, and Unrefined Sea Salt (this helps the adrenals

by raising a low blood pressure and assisting the body in retaining water).

DO NOT consume (at the very least limit) refined foods high in refined carbs,

sugar, caffeine, white flour, vegetable oils and fats (except olive and coconut

oils). Eat lots of protein (Not the highly processed proteins they are very hard

to digest), veggies, fruits and fiber. The most important way to help your

adrenals is to eat a diet that is nutrient-rich and is high in animal meats,

fish and eggs, and high in good fats, with moderate complex carb intake.

hi bj, no i didn't have a rapid heart rate on cytomel. the rate was normal

but very forceful. in other words, i can hear and feel my heartbeat which

keeps me awake.

also, dr haskill recommended taking it twice a day, morning and evening. my

doc wanted me to start once a day in the evening for 2 weeks and then twice a

day after the first 2 weeks. i wasn't able to get thru the 1st 2 weeks yet due

to the symptoms.

if my cortisol level is normal, doesn't that mean that i do not have AF?

are there other tests i should be asking for? lois

Hi Lois,

Whether you have forceful or rapid palpitations the cause can be from tired

adrenals especially when taking thyroid meds. It can also be from magnesium,

CoQ10 etc deficiencies. Hawthorne is a herbal natural remedy for palps.

Has your doctor ran the 8am ACTH and cortisol blood tests?

Besides these two tests my doctor also ran an ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone)

stimulation test and CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone) stimulation test to

find my impairment coming from the hypothalamus – pituitary - adrenal axis.

A blood cortisol test alone does NOT reveal much at all. The reason for 24-hour

cortisol salvia testing is to look how cortisol reforms throughout the day not

just at a random moment in time. Normal 8 am serum values 5 - 22 (mcg/dL). Low

or high 25% in this range usually suggests further testing. Cortisol can be

normal but the adrenals and the body cannot use it properly.

Hi Bj,

Thank you so much. This is extremely helpful. I have begin to think that I do

have adrenal fatigue. My doctor wants to treat me without testing at all. When I

brought it up to him he said that I would be wasting my money because in his

eyes I sm experiencing the symptoms of it so he wants to treat them. If the

tests deny it he wouldn't believe the results if they confirm it then I just

wasted my money because he wants to treat me anyway. Your answer to someone else

helped me understand what he meant. You had mentioned that the answers are not

always reliable.

I suppose I will begin to treat myself then. Has anyone heard of a supplement

called ADR? It is made by a company called ortho molecular products.

I am really happy you gave me all the information on chelation and removing

heavy metal toxins. After reading about chelation it has always made me nervous.

I am so glad to know there are other options. Do you think it is wise to have

hashis and to take iodide? I noticed that was part if the treatment plan.

Thank you so much for all of your help. I really appreciate it!

Hi ,

Glad I could help! Just a quick word of caution though as I believe it is best

to test. Both HIGH and LOW cortisol has many overlapping symptoms. I have read

about way too many patients that were treated for low cortisol when in fact they

had high cortisol.

Please be careful!
