Guest guest Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I started with 12.5 mg per day (Lugol's). I took that for a week and went up to 25 mg as of yesterday. The only thing I've noticed is a little bit of a runny nose, sporadically. I did have some back/kidney discomfort on one day, but I have a theory about that. I drank a bunch of Fresca soda that day. I didn't realize until later that it contains brominated vegetable oil. I'm thinking that might have caused the back kidney pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 It could mean the detox is going smoothly. The goal is to get the toxins out of your body quickly before they bother you. For years when going for a massage at the chiropractic college near me, they make you drink two glasses of water before you leave and encourage you to drink more after leaving, so that the toxins released from the massage get washed out and don’t hang around and make you feel bad. Donna in IL I was wondering...If one doesn't notice much in the way of detox symptoms upon starting iodine, is that good? Does that mean that there is little to detox and/or that detox is going very smoothly? Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Kisha, it's considered a natural part of iodine supplementation, so no, you don't do something separate to detox. There is a protocol with the iodine, though, to make sure you are taking companion nutrients and plenty of unrefined salt. See Steph's website at www.healthythyroidchoices.com for the list of companion nutrients, but the selenium should be on the mandatory list, not the optional list. -- At 11:41 AM 2/1/2010, you wrote: >I am new to iodine. i was wondering how one goes about detoxing, dos it >automatically happen from taking iodine or is their a protocal for doing >this?

Yes, the reason you feel sicker now is because your body has become more able to detoxify itself. I couldn't say how long it would take for you to get rid of those awful drugs, since drugs that are hormone-like take longer to get rid of than others, and it also depends upon how well you follow the program, how you handle stress, etc. Usually it takes 1 month of natural healing for every year.

I'm not sure what that might be about... it's my understanding that there are several different detox pathways (like around 5?), so not all of them need to be working properly, as others can be a " backup " .

And, I suggest, not complete without MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution), an incredibly powerful detox, all-in-one pathogen zapper (inl cancer, it's claimed) - it sure pulls it all out fast, with no harm to our natural systems either (except pulling out too much too fast, which can cause yuckiness) http://jimhumble.biz/ for good all round intro and excellent protocols Also, I put a vote in for sodium bicarbonate, as well as iodine (Lugol's etc.) and magnesium (esp. transdermal mag chloride) as esposed by Marc Sircus. http://imva.info/ and http://magnesiumforlife.com/ etc. From: Marc <marc@... <mailto:marc%40ufoseries.com> > Subject: Detox <mailto:%40> Date: Saturday, June 26, 2010, 8:22 AM Hi all, Since we talk about detox frequently on this grouo, I thought I'd point out a page that I found recently, which seems like it includes practically everything that someone should know about heavy metal detox: http://www.health-spy.com/toxicity3.html I printed this out and went through all 150 pages (!), and I wish I had all this information 10 years ago when I started this process!

What is your name please, since we don't remember people by their email address. : ) That is correct that chelation is not recommended since it dumps too many toxins into the system at one time, which unhealthy people cannot tolerate. So it is much better to go the slow and natural way of detoxifying so your body decides how, when and what to detoxify itself, i.e. when it is ready - see Heavy Metals, Natural Chelation: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/mn16.php There are many other things on my program that help detoxification too, i.e. mild exercises like dry skin brushing (or rebounding on a mini trampolines or walking), deep breathing exercises, Epsom salt baths, Electrolyte Drink (it's optional since some people can't tolerate lemons for awhile). Also there is my " 9-Day Program " that some people need to do because their digestion is so bad, or because they are experiencing more intense healing and detoxifying symptoms: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig6.php This program provides all of the " proper nutrients " necessary for healing and detoxification, including important minerals and trace minerals found in the ocean sea salt I recommend - minerals are the building blocks of the body and are involved in every single body process. Any treatments other than my program should not interfere with the basics, which are " proper nutrients " (my diet plus supplements). Therefore, treatments may include accupuncture, reflexology, light massage or self-massages (on my website), homeopathy, Tai Chi, mild Yoga, etc. But a person shouldn't do all of them at the same time either, or even more than one, since too many treatments interferes with the healing and detoxing processes. Doing one at at time would be better, or alternating them. But even those treatments aren't necessary since it is mainly " proper nutrients " that help the body most!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hi, I can tell you that after being on the diet for just over a month my head is clearer. I too have severe congnitive issues from the candida and who knows what else. I definately see that the diet is doing something. Also all the cellulite in my thighs is almost gone. Cellulite is stored toxins. You need to really want to get well to be on this diet. There is no quick fix as the medical profession tries to convince us with a pill. You're not the only one who is squimish about enemas...many of us are....and once you do it and feel the difference you will no longer be apprehensive about it. Take care....

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hello, I've been on Bee's diet for 6 months. My worst problems are cognitive as well. I haven't been able to do much reading for about 25 years and it has been very frustrating. In the last 2 months, my brain has made major improvements. I am now reading more than I ever have in my entire life. It's quite amazing! Not a day goes by that I am not blown away by this change. Maybe you've already decided to do the diet, but I just had to share this with you in case you are on the fence. Also, here is a link for the enema syringe that I have been using. It is good quality and low cost. Very discreet with no labels on the packaging when you order from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UKTWXE/ref=oss_product Good luck!

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hi Amy, Yes, those are detox symptoms. How often/long did you salt loaded to clear out the toxins from the symptoms? How often are you eliminating? If you are not eliminating 2-3 times a day, that will leave the newly released toxins to repoison your body. Or your liver may not be clearing it out, and you may need to take things to support/cleanse the liver. Some people also have less symptoms at higher doses, so you could try that. But remember, this isn’t a quick fix, it is a healing process. It took a long time to get sick, it will take time and maybe some time of dealing with the detox in order to get healing again. Donna in IL Hi, Just have some questions about detox. My partner and I were both taking iodine (12.5mg iodoral) with all supporting nutrients for around 2 weeks. I have anxiety and have been very fatigued, and initially felt fantastic, but after about a week and a half started feeling really tired, puffy eyes (I've never had this before), irritable and anxious. My partner has a history of pcos, hypothyroidism and fatigue. About a week in, she started to feel really tired and hypo, with acne. A lot worse than she has in ages. We both stopped when these symptoms continued for about a week, being worried that iodine wasn't working for her. Just wondering if you think this was detox. How long should it last if it was? The salt loading didn't seem to work. Would you expect this to last for longer than a week of feeling that way? Not sure whether to pulse dose now? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Thanks for that. I guess it's just a bit scary when things go downhill. In particular my partner has just gotten better through a total diet change and I'm scared that if this isn't the right thing for her then it'll be a big step back? She did the salt loading a couple of times a day and it didn't seem to make much difference. She really just looked so sick that we thought she'd better stop. I'm thinking about pulse dosing and seeing how that goes. > > Hi Amy, > > Yes, those are detox symptoms. How often/long did you salt loaded to clear out the toxins from the symptoms?

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hmmm, The salt loading is to be done every half hour until you start urinating frequently. A couple of times in a day won’t get that going. The point is to wash out the toxins, and if you don’t persist, it won’t work. Donna in IL Thanks for that.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hi, I'm one who had to back off because of detox symptoms. Anytime I bumped my iodine up, I was hit with something else. The last time, my liver started hurting. I lowered my dose and started taking milk thistle and a bunch of other stuff, including the companion nutrients. I bumped back up to 25 mg's last weekend. I seem to be doing just fine now. If all continues to go well and I start remembering to take my vitamin C, I'll raise it a bit more before I go back to work after the new year.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Everyone needs iodine for health, so taking iodine would not be wrong for someone. The salt can also help the fatigue. Some take salt when they feel tired midday, and it helps. Donna in ILMaybe we weren't doing it enough then. Would the salt get rid of fatigue too? > >> > Hi Amy,> >> > Yes, those are detox symptoms. How often/long did you salt loaded to clear out the toxins from the symptoms? How often are you eliminating? If you are not eliminating 2-3 times a day, that will leave the newly released toxins to repoison your body. Or your liver may not be clearing it out, and you may need to take things to support/cleanse the liver. Some people also have less symptoms at higher doses, so you could try that.> >> > But remember, this isn't a quick fix, it is a healing process.

How often/long did you salt loaded to clear out the toxins from the symptoms? How often are you eliminating? If you are not eliminating 2-3 times a day, that will leave the newly released toxins to repoison your body. Or your liver may not be clearing it out, and you may need to take things to support/cleanse the liver. Some people also have less symptoms at higher doses, so you could try that. But remember, this isn’t a quick fix, it is a healing process. It took a long time to get sick, it will take time and maybe some time of dealing with the detox in order to get healing again. Donna in IL Hi, Just have some questions about detox. My partner and I were both taking iodine (12.5mg iodoral) with all supporting nutrients for around 2 weeks. I have anxiety and have been very fatigued, and initially felt fantastic, but after about a week and a half started feeling really tired, puffy eyes (I've never had this before), irritable and anxious. My partner has a history of pcos, hypothyroidism and fatigue. About a week in, she started to feel really tired and hypo, with acne. A lot worse than she has in ages. We both stopped when these symptoms continued for about a week, being worried that iodine wasn't working for her. Just wondering if you think this was detox. How long should it last if it was? The salt loading didn't seem to work. Would you expect this to last for longer than a week of feeling that way? Not sure whether to pulse dose now? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I think you would get better results with at least 50mg Iodoral. gracia On 12/22/2010 5:58 PM, Amy wrote: Hi, Just have some questions about detox.
