Guest guest Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Cary, that's why I asked for pictures...they look different in real life, right? Stained, mixed in with food, hiding in the poop! I had some that looked orange and i couldn't tell if they were worms or little pieces of an orang! lol... And the magnified picture are great...if I had a microscope! I like the non-magnified pictures so I can see the scale and what they might look like in a real toilet/diaper. I hope you figure out how to post those pics! Red > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > > > > > So I didn't have carrots, so I mixed one drop of lugols 2% with Bragg's ACV drink (it has honey in it that makes the taste a bit more bearable). I also added regular organic apple juice and water to dilute it more. I drank this yesterday and today. No idea about parasites, but I can say I have so much energy that I feel like I'm on speed right now. I have read reviews about the Braggs drink being used by athletes to extend workouts and whatnot, so I have no idea if it's the iodine or the ACV (or the combo), but I feel great. > > > > > > > > > > I also gave this concoction to my twins yesterday and today - same effect - they appear to be on speed (but in a good way).

Someone posted once that yeast can look stringy, but these are very defined, skinny strings (not mucousy or anything).

I was this close to taking her to a specialist. Finger's crossed!

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 sounds good to me ! I only concocted the juice as a way to make the ACV more palatable, but being a mean mommy I syringe it down his throat either way....methods of my madness.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I say stick with it. I hate to take away your excuse, tho you can keep using it they dont have to know its not as bad as it is or was If you are in the first 2 weeks, it gets better. Lots better. The runny nose is common in those first 2 weeks, It goes away. If you are screaming, your adrenals are screaming! The natural salt if very important to the adrenals. If you are experiecing symptoms you need to look at your companion supplements and make sure you are taking enough of them. If you are getting adrenal symptoms with 1 drop then you are most likely thyroid imbalanced and have probably been that way for a while. Which also means your adrenals are fatigued or close to it. Thyroid and adrenals just go together. People try to seperate them and their symptoms but it just really isnt possible. So, if you are feeling bad, first look at companion supps. If increasing your salt doesnt eliminate the symptoms(and it usually does) increase Mag, if you still have them, increase C. You might even increase the iodine, cause more is usually better when detoxing the body. If after doing that you still scream and are irritable you may need Rx Natural Thyroid Replacement Hormone(never use synthetic) and/or things to help the adrenals heal. There are combos available designed to help the adrenals and rebuild damaged tissue. Rhodiola Rosea is very good, Adrenal Cortex. Hydrocortisone(Rx) might be needed for the really damaged tho should only be used short term as it encourages the adrenals to not work as hard, a good thing while healing, a not good thing if you want the adrenals to work instead of a drug. If you are feeling liver related detox symptoms, or skin breakouts, you may need liver support. Inositol, milk thistle. Blood levels of iodine is not a reliable test or indication of body sufficiency. It's a pee test. So you dont have to feel totally miserable to detox. In fact it is enouraged to not feel that way and why the companion supplments are so important. So if you are feeling edgy and angry, drink some natural salt water. You might just be amazed.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Is the iodine safe to take while pregnant? I'm currently 18 wks and curious to see if this is something I should start now, or wait until after baby comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yes Iodine is safe to take while pregnant. That doesnt mean i would take it. Dr. Brownstein recommends pregnant women to take 12.5mg per day. There are some pregnant women on the Iodine board taking it, tho not sure what dosages. I would probably be cautious taking it. If you are a healthy person you and the baby would likely benefit. If you have any kind of illness or auto-immune issues, viral issues, metals, fungus, bacteria, then it's possible that the die off and detox might cause too much hormonal imbalance or cause too much liver distress. My own opinion. It might not. I do think much of the problems in our children start with iodine deficiency. If i knew then what i know now, well, i would probably have taken it. Each individual would have to decide based on their issues/situation and/or discuss it with a knowledgable doctor. A regular doctor, seeing a patient with goiter or severe thyroid issues and pregnant would most likely Rx iodine supplement. Or Armour. Most prenatal vitamins have iodine now (very low mcg dosage). Many natural docs are using iodine with pregnant patients. I would study, think about using the Low Oxalate Diet. That would be an easy(ish) thing to implement to increase iodine utlization in the body and lower oxalates. Iodine is in breast milk. The breast need iodine to make it, too. So the baby would get some with breastfeeding.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 For me, serious mood swings are caused by strep or bartonella. The bartonella mood swings usually last only a few minutes and I will say something mean really quickly, but I don't harbor anger in another few minutes. This typically happens for me when I am on augmenting treating strep, then the bartonella pops up. The strep mood swing is more like a wild rage and the emotions can last for an hour and I would be on edge for days. I tend to get this worst when I am treating bartonella (zithromax + rifampin and/or Zhang's HH). Several lyme practitioners feel the strep is a coinfection to bartonella and both need to be eridicated to eliminate either one. I am holding steady on augmentin while doing my whole worm protocol (I take what my son takes a little ahead of him). I plan to add back a bartonella protocol once we are on maintenance with worms.
