Re: Valtex or Chelation..what would you do first?

[Guest guest]

Cheryl,

Sorry for all of my questions but I started my three-year-old twins on lugols this week (today is day 3). I've been giving one drop in the morning. My question is, if I don't see any changes (altough I swear they are in better moods), should I just continue the one drop indefinitely, or should I gradually increase until I notice some sort of die off-type behaviors? I just want to know that I'm giving them enough to make a difference. I know I need to give it some time since it's only day three. I just want to know what my game plan should be from here. I thought maybe after this week, I would increase to two drops. Thanks for any advice.

Its a common misconception (that iodine is a chelator) and why i wanted to make sure. Half is a good easy dosage to start. If you cut it in half it will dissolve in the stomach not intestines.There is a coating that lets it pass into the intestines in tact. Some have a problem with too much iodine in the stomach at one time, so if there is upset might need to eat more food with it or space it out over 2 meals. like 1/4 a tablet at breakfast, the other at lunch. I am glad to see your Dan recommending it. The word is spreading! Cheryl >> Hi Cheryl,> > Oops, my bad. Yes, I know iodine is not by definition a chelator...I was very tired. Haha.> > Our DAN! ped. recommended half of an Iodoral per day. This particular son is 46 lbs. We also put our other son on Iodoral at the same dose and he is 50 lbs. The older son also chelated on DMSA and that was very good for him too, but he never smelled like metal and he also doesn't while on Iodoral. Maybe he is less metal toxic or maybe he just doesn't excrete as much through his pores/sweat as my younger son does. It does make me wonder if my younger son would benefit from some sort of therapy that makes him sweat a lot (in addition to normal exercise.)> >

You should see the morning I am having. I actually managed to drink an entire cup of coffee and sit on the computer for an hour with no interruptions or fights. They woke up in awesome moods and have been playing nicely all morning. If this is from the iodine, I wish I had started earlier! Can you give me a link or the name of a transdermal product, and also tll me when I should apply, where (on the body), and how often? Thanks! You have been extremely helpful!

Hi , I would increase to 2 drops after a week or 2. Then either stay at 2 for a while or go to 3 a week or so after using 2, with 1 to 2 drops max ingested, the rest transdermal. I think both ingested and the slow steady absorbtion of transdermal is better. Whether a person feels die off depends on how much and what is in their body and how good their liver and kidneys are at removing the toxins/dead stuff. It takes very little iodine to make a difference. Think of it as 2 sponges. On one, you drop one drop a day and it takes a year before the sponge is completely soaked. The other sponge you drop 5 drops a day and it takes 6 months to completely soak. It's a matter of time.The more iodine you take the more the body soaks and gets to saturation so that every cell in the body has enough. The balance of using enough to soak the "sponge" (body) but not enough to cause misery or too fast detox is the goal. Iodine is definetly a mood effector :-) Cheryl >> > Cheryl,> > Sorry for all of my questions but I started my three-year-old twins on lugols this week (today is day 3).

The Lugols can be used Transdermally. It works out more expensively than

ingesting because the uptake is only about 3/4mg per drop. So if you load a qtip

with iodine and paint areas of the body you would be getting about 4mg per qtip.

(My fuzzy math, definetly not 100% accurate, but dont really feel exact is

necessary, close enough is good).

Povidone, which you can get at most pharmacys can be used transdermally.

Povidone is 1% iodine. Tinctures can be used transdermally but they are more

drying cause of the alcohol. Povidone and tinctures should never be ingested.

Cheryl,I had just picked up a lugol's solution from Medisca.  It was the only one available from the store I was at.  However, when I got home, I just noticed that it says it's for compounding.  Is all lugol's solution 2%.  This one doesn't state it on the bottle and I just did a quick google and I wasn't able to make heads or tails of the information given on their site.  It just says it's a " strong iodine solution " . 

Did I buy the wrong one?  Or does this mean that there's higher than 2% iodine in there?

this iodine info is exciting and scary. Cheryl, do you have a good reference

with all that info I could share with my DAN and others? No one has every

suggested iodine or thyroid issues to us. Sure does make sense. Can I just start

iodine on my own and see what happens, or is it really important to test first?

We use Enhansa as our antiviral and are seeing great success, but as with all

treatments, we see success but not cure. Wouldn't it be wonderful to find a

quick fix that balanced everything out???

Also, I read online that it's important to take ionized iodine, not iodide that

is in Lugol's. I hope I read that correctly. Is this true? What brands do

people here use?

Thanks!

Hope is a powerful thing!
