Re: Iodine for MS?

[Guest guest]

how much are you taking. I would go really slow for someone with MS.

The iodoral tabs start at 12.5 mg. that may be way too much as it was for

me.

I would start out with liquid lugols and start out really small amounts and

give

it alot of time to ramp up. not the rapidly ramping schedule most docs.

give.

iodine is essential and experts say no one is getting enough if you arent

supplementing with an iodine supplement.

The thing I like about iodine is its broad spectrum abilities. detox heavy

metals, hallides like bromine and fluoride and

most importantly its ability to kill broad spectrum pathogens. emerging

evidence is starting to show alot of MS patients actually have infections

like lyme or mycoplasma etc. that is causing the MS. But these infections

are hard to test for and find

and doctors arent going to give you every drug known to kill every disease

known. Enter iodine, rather than testing

for an infection, finding it, then giving some specific drug to treat it.

You just take the iodine and it finds and kills

something in there is an infection. It really is backwards from

conventional medicine. But is increasingly

ideal in todays environment of silent infections.

I tried it, went through a major flare up at just a few mg. either by

detoxing or killing some pathogen that released toxins.

I took it for about a year and didnt get past 4mg. Most iodine doctors

recommend getting up to 50mg. or 100mg. if you

are trying to heal something. Now I know I said I went through a flare,

which some people might then decide to not

try iodine at all then. But I am alot better off now having gone through

it. The only reason I stopped taking it is because

I wanted to figure out if it was detox or pathogen killing so I switched to

MMS, and had more of a healing crisis and

I am on the road to recovery and getting better over time.

I am going to go back on the iodine to see if I can go farther than the

4mg. threshold I was having issues getting past.

Apparently you may need 25mg. + to displace other hallides like fluoride

and bromine etc. I would like to make it up

to 50mg. to fully clean myself out.

I think you should really investigate more before you make a decision based on

feedback from members of Internet groups. Everyone has different experiences

with different supplements. What I thought I should take before, my new doctor

said " no more " based on stool and blood samples. Functional Dr., Datis

Kharazian, said that taking iodine is " like throwing gas onto a fire " for

Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It could be good or bad for your wife. Get tested.

Guessing which supplements would be helpful for me did not work. Finding an

alternative doc who does muscle testing on me for each recommended supplement

does work. He tests me for prescription meds as well. Saves me money in the

long run and saves my body from expending energy to process the unnecessary. (I

neither buy nor ingest what I do not need.)

Thank you,

Lugols sound positve. With both iodine and iodide for a fu;; inpact and detox. I

have no taken any yet, but was concidering the 12.5 iodoral for myself. I am

also considering eating Iodine in God's foods, ie. Kale ( with the added benefit

of bulk fiber).

I appreciate the feedback, it aids in discision making.

Thank you for the input KC,

,

That is what I am doing, investigating. The input is mixed. As you say testing

for " what " ? For low iodine, Hashimoto's, What else? I am looking for advice, I

did ask " Is Iodine for MS " I didnt make a statement, yet posed a query for

discussion. I do rather enjoy both sides of the discussion! How else can help be

found.

Did you have a negative experiance with Iodine, If so, I do want to hear it. It

could help all that are reading here to see what is the experiance of another.

Thank you for what your Dr told you. All things are being concidered, its not a

fire to jump in or out of, its a problem to be solved.

Terry Wahls uses seaweed as an iodine source in her diet. Dried from asian shops

is fine and not expensive. I had a bit into stewed livers and spicy sauces when

I can remember---we haven't found a good seaweed salad recipe.

Hi,

I use a product called Modifilan as an iodine supplement. It is basically brown

seaweed extract. It is also supposed to pull toxic metals from the body. For

more information, visit

Very interesting,

What amout of benefit do you obseve while supplimenting with Iodine, in whatever

form it is in for the MS condition?

Note: I was feeding my wife Soft boiled eggs, and noticed a change in her almost

immediately after 30 mins, then the benifit seemed to disappear after an hour of

so. Therefore , I asked my self, self what is in eggs that aids in MS. The

nutrients in the egg seem to help her. Selenium, fats, protien, iodine, and

vitamins.

by being attentive, i am watching for good things from what she craves also,

like Kale or leafy greens, eggs, Kombucha, beer, ice cream, cottage cheese,

etc., the foods that support and iodine rich diet.

That makes me very interested in iodine, the proper use and what it may help.

So if you have either a posative or negative story , I would enjoy either.

Beverly, Hello!

I really think the iodine helps relieve MS. Your point on dietary iodine is well

recieved, God's food is always the best food. Money dictates the expence of food

source iodine very expencive verses liquid iodine/ iodide as a suppliment.

When the Kale grows, we will eat it all this year. Maybe, with some Nettle soup

too (selenium).

Thank you for the information.

Negative or Positive, and testamony or information is useful.

I didn't have a negative exerience with iodine but after awhile with high doses

of Modifilan and a raw food diet I developed hypothyroid symptoms.

I got a functional doctor who had me do a stool sample and a blood test to

examine my biological terrain.

Raw cruciferous vagetables bind with iodine to make it unavailable for use.

Instead of adding iodine it might be more prudent to check your diet. Iodine is

a trace mineral and too much is as bad as not enough. Since my hypothyroid is

actually autoimminue (Hashimoto's) my doctor is using an approach to eliminate

inflammation and balance my immune system (Th1 and Th2). He has advised me not

to take as many supplements. A key factor is vitamin D3. Green Pasture's

Fermented CLO and Apex's Oxycell (transdermal) are others. He took me off of MSM

(excess sulphur is not helpful in my quest) and food is more useful than

supplements in his oinion.

So far my feet aren't swelling and my hairloss has improved. It's only been a

short time since my initial visit. I see hope in this experience.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

[Guest guest]

Thank you ,

A blood test and I believe a thyriod test should be advised even if not taking

iodine. The test could level the playing field and show the path. Agian thank

you.

The deadly fluoride(our drinking water) and bromide(most breads) also should be

considered. they can bind to your thyriod receptors and not be good for any

thyriod condition esp,. Hashimoto's.

The more I learn the more I see. Oh yea, knowledge is painful, only if we dont

use it for the betterment of all!

Thank you thrice over

Hi M,

I cannot tell what proportion of my good health comes from Modifilan, because I

am taking many different supplements (not to mention LDN, colloidal silver,

colloidal gold, etc.). See this site for more information:

My doctor took me off of all the foods you mentioned, also no grains, not even

sourdough bread. They cause my body to be inflammed.

Raw cruciferous veggies (kale, collard greens, and broccoli etc.) are off too.

I have to cook them. This is his way of addressing iodine and goitrogens.

The diet is similar to Terry Wahl's with a few changes, pastured meat (incl

fat), some cooked and some raw vegetables (no nightshades), all things coconut,

fermented veggies and water kefir, low glycemic fruits, EV olive oil. Never

again can I drink kombucha or any green tea for that matter. It stimulates my

immune syatem. No dairy incl. eggs. There are a few Celestial Seasonings herbal

teas that I can have. I can also have shirataki brown yam noodles (with seaweed

added) occasionally and some commercial brands of fermented food (The Ginger

People fermented sushi ginger, Bubbies sauerkraut and pickles).

I am supposed to eat throughout the day and never let myself go hungry. No

fasting. Nothing sweet except Stevia. No honey, no sugar (even sucanat), no

molasses, no maple syrup, no bananas, mangos, pineapple or watermelon, no

chocolate, ice cream, cake or pie. I can't have alcohol, no beer or wine.

Grains and alcohol morph into sugar. It's worth it to feel better but I can't

eat what everyone else in my family eats. They don't have MS maybe some have

Hashi.

Yes, I got that idea from Dr. Wahls too, on using seaweed and kombu kelp for

iodine. I've opted for the Maine sea vegetables for fear of the Asian stuff and

the recent Japanese nuclear dump.

Hi ,

LDN is proving to be remarkably effective in treating Hashimoto's disease--with

minimal side effects and at a price anyone can afford.

This site features the blog of a person who uses Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) to

treat Hashimoto's disease:

Shirataki yam noodles also contain iodine from seaweed. I haven't tried them yet

and there are mixed reviews on the taste. It is a fermented product. rIt is an

allowed food on his repair diet (that I'm on for at least 30 days, no cheating).

The latest email from Dr. said that he doesn't believe in the goitrogeninc

theory and that it is outdated. He is more concerned with the digestability of

the greens. He would prefer that I eat some cooked, some raw and some fermented.

I made those noodles today and immediately ordered more. They remind me of bean

threads without the beans! Yum! The noodles take on the flavor of the sauce

but I added them to salad.

They're tastless on their own. The texture is what I liked about them. You have

to drain and rinse them and then boil them for 6 min. At that point you can

start adding vegetables and meat for a stir-fry, blend cooked veggies for a

sauce, mix them in a salad. I would like them even if I wasn't eating them for

the gluten-free aspect. They're not like Italian pasta. They're oriental. Get

the brown yam variety.

I get them online at www.asianfoodgrocer.com. I also found them from the same

seller on Amazon. The price is good from this seller but it's extremely high

from Hoosier Farm. You might be able to get them locally at an Asian food or

health food store.
