Re: Health Check List - iodine allergy

[Guest guest]

Patty-

The last time you mentioned this I wondered about iodine chemistry, and

the chemistry of the iodine which stimulated the allergy. Was it

radioactive iodine? Could your body have freaked from that, and the

iodine allercy is just a piggyback feature? I know that Edgar Cayce

claimed that the body recognize a certain kind of iodine (iirc he called

it atomidine) rather than potassium iodide, etc.

Desh,

I wasn't radioactive Iodine, it was the Iodine based dye they used to

look at my kidneys. That was a mild reaction. Another time, they

needed to use it to look at something else and used Benadryl and

Steroids before hand, and I did ok. Then in 1997 they did a cardiac

cath and even though I'd been pre-treated for 2 days before with IV

Benadryl and steroids, I still went into anaphylaxis and spent 3 days

in ICU. I've only been eating naturally for about 9 months so don't be

too aghast at all the procedures. I have been very ill and brainwashed

as I was in pharmacy and then an RN, so over 30 years in the medical

field, lol. I seem to react to Iodine in any form.
