2nd evening of salt loading

Well, I'm into my 2nd glass of salt water and am about ready to do the 3rd. It isn't like the first evening..I'm not peeing but I feel good, and I'm not swollen or feeling like I'm swollen or anything so maybe with not taking the Iodine for the 2 days now, there isn't that much detoxing going on?
Tomorrow I'll be back on the Iodine, starting with maybe 3 drops, and working up and I think I'll go as close to 100 mgs. as I feel comfortable with and staying there for awhile, see how I do on it.
I need to order more Lugols though..my son is taking it also, and he does it all on his own. What's interesting about him is, his mouth is going thru major detox, with a sore that was difficult to get rid of, and his gums and teeth bleeding. One back molar today was hurting him, so we had a look..because he said it felt funny...and he had this huge crusted build up of tartar that I'd never seen before. It was like you would eat bread and a glob just stuck to the top of the tooth and hardened. I had him scrape it off..it was hardened but it must have been softened up by him using the dental pik with water and peroxide, and maybe the Iodine too? So, he scraped it off with a miniture screw drive..don't laugh..we don't have any fancy dental tools around here! He steralized it first. Ok..I do have the book by Dr. Nara and the protocol for taking care of mouth infection and disease. I got it out for him to read. It's called Money by the Mouthful and I think it's by Oremedia actually, but the protocol is by Dr. Nara.
I don't know if I should do the salt loading everday or not along with taking the Iodine. I guess I'll just experiement with that.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,020,397Just Curious. How much salt do you dissolve in the water?

This is a reply to # 1,020,611I'm using 1/2 teaspoon of moist grey celtic Sea Salt . I did some yard work for a couple hours yesterday and I'm thinking maybe that it stirred up my lymph system, and toxins and when I did the salt loads it took awhile to get copious amounts of urine. I don't know though, but it took me taking all 3 salt loads first and about 40 minutes after the last one to really get strong feeling of having to pee. After that I was going for several hours thru the night. I feel good this morning, with a bit of stiffness in my right hand but that's to be expected since I'm right handed and use tools with it such as shovel, rack, and broom.
Today, I'm going to take the Iodine, and maybe do another salt load (seems 3 is what I can handle but maybe I should push to 4?) a little earlier today, around 5 or 6 pm instead of 7 or after.
It will be hard for me to take just 3 drops of the Iodine, I'll want to take the usual 8 but I guess it's better to start lower and work up and go higher than 8 drops?

This is a reply to # 1,020,636I don't know about taking four salt loads in a day. You may be losing too many minerals. You sound like you're doing okay with what you're doing. I think it may be better to start with less Iodine than do so many salt loads.
Let us know, Prism.

This is a reply to # 1,020,397Jus a couple of thoughts - salt loading is important, even on the days you don't take iodine. You may not need as much, but it helps the bromide excretion, which occurs whether you are taking the Iodine that day or not.
High Vitamin C will help your son's bleeding gums (orally, not topically) and will also help with detox. Have him take to bowel tolerance. It is the one most effective supplement for bleeding gums, and is a recommended companion nutrient for iodine. Just do not take with the iodine, as it changes the composition of iodine. Topical aloe vera rubbed on gums helps too, especially if you have the fresh or a concentrated gel.
Since you have been on Iodine for awhile, it might be good to reread the FAQ on companion supplements. It is so hard to remember everything, and very important when trying to maximize detox and minimize suffering. For example, I had to triple my magnesium dose because Iodine constipates me. Selenium is important, and now the iodine docs are recommending riboflavin and niacin to be added to the protocol (I take a multi B with may magnesium, and it relaxes the transient back pain (kidney area) that was such a problem for a few days. It is good to review the FAQ section every few months, since our bodies are so different and always changing.

This is a reply to # 1,020,642Yes, definately..I'm going to go into review mode before I do another salt load session. I have a horrid pain in my left calf..it feels very sore, like a bruise, only like it's going to cramp any minute..I'm limping due to it now. It's very tight there, but not swollen..it's same size as other calf. I feel less swollen due to the salt loads I've done the last 2 nights, but I'm not going to do it tonight.
I do take many of the companion supplements, but am not taking grams of VC but do eat plenty of fresh fruits and I feel am need green juices again..since that's one thing I'm lacking lately. So, no to salt for now, yes to some fresh green juices for the next couple days. I hope that helps.

This is a reply to # 1,020,981The several grams of Vitamin C is really essential. Juice has very little C.
I limped too from too much Iodine too. I thought it was sudden onset Arthritis until it magically disappeared when I did a 48 hour break.- Re: 2nd evening of salt loading Prism

This is a reply to # 1,021,016I've had that 48 hour break from the Iodine, and went back today starting with 3 drops of Lugols. I was taking 8 drops before the break.
I just took 3 tablets of V-C each are 500 mgs. and it was so tasty I took another 2..and I could take more..so I must really need the V-C. I'll wait and see if I want more in an hour or so.
I eat a lot of fresh fruits during a day usually..but I've only been having smoothies lately, with only a couple fruits. Tomorrow I'm going to pick fresh concord grapes and green grapes from a very large vine that is covered with ripe fruit! I'm gonna gorge on'em..hmmm..yummy! I hope they are as tasty as my neighbors were.
I should find out more about that grape cure book and protocol, it sounds interesting.

- Still on thyroid meds? O/T uuuuuuuuuuu

This is a reply to # 1,020,397prism, are you still off the thyroid meds? i am wondering if you are while cutting back to only a few drops of iodine.
thanks to your post about coming off the thyroid meds, i too no longer take them.
hearing that it was possible to do inspired me to up my Iodine intake.
i take about 15-20 drops a day in place of the medication and i feel great. i'm amazed!
its been about 3 weeks now. so i am wondering if i will be able to reduce the amount of Iodine eventually, or will it be necessary to take the higher does to maintain regular thyroid function.- Re: Still on thyroid meds? O/T Prism

This is a reply to # 1,020,648That's great! I've been cautious in how much Iodine I take, but I'll get up to that amount perhaps..eventually. I don't want to overdue on the detoxing. I'm off thyroid meds for a few weeks now! I too feel great!
Yes, I really should keep doing the salt loading on most days. I will try to do that from now on..see how it goes with doing it on a consistant basis. My raw foods diet is not 100% so, I'm sure that with some of the little cooked foods or 12 grain bread I eat, I should be wary.
What kind of detoxes have you been going thru with that amount of Iodine? What amount of thyroid meds were you on at the largest amount? Was it hypothyroid as it was for me?

This is a reply to # 1,020,657i am hypothyroid. i found out about a year and a half ago and started out at 50micrograms then about 6 months ago they upped it to 75 micrograms of levothyroxine. from what i hear that isn't that much.
as far as detox goes, i've had it very easy. almost none to report so far( knocking on wood...) .its been about 3 weeks at 15-20 drops a day. i salt load with 2 tsp of celtic Sea Salt in 1 quart of water. i've had a bit of fogginess when i didn't salt load for a few days, but thats about it.
I also take 300 mcg of selenium, and 2000-3000 mg Vit C.
i take the Iodine in a drink of apple cider vinegar, honey, baking soda, and water. to this i add the liquid selenium and sometimes clove and oregano extract. maybe this contributes to the easy detox?
as far as the raw food thing goes, i'm mostly raw... i'm a chef so at work i must taste the food and create the food, which is cooked. but at home and when eating a meal at work it is raw fruits and vegetables. - question for prism? perrotjo

This is a reply to # 1,020,657Hi Prism,
I have also been diagnosed with what I assume is a mild case of hypothyroidism, maybe wilson's temperature syndrome. My blood work showed both TSH, T4 and free T4 in normal range, but T3 and free T3 low. I guess my problem is in converting the T4 to T3. I just started the Iodine (1 Iodoral a day) and actually noticed that my body temp has been lower the last few days. Do you know why this is? Also, how long did it take before the Iodine began helping your hypothyroidim and how much did you have to take? Thanks- Re: question for prism? Prism

This is a reply to # 1,020,950I can't speak on why your temp might be lower on the Iodine, maybe you need more? I would up it maybe one drop a day or since it's tablet form, cut it in half if you can to see if your morning temp rises. Give it 3-5 days maybe. That would be one way to see if it ups your temp.
I'm assuming that the Iodine helped from the very first start of it. I only just started taking it a couple months ago, and I haven't gone above 8 drops of Lugols a day so far. I lessoned the thyroid meds over that couple months, and went off just 2 weeks ago completely. I have been up to 4 grains in my first year on thyroid meds 31 years ago, and down to 2 grains as I was when I started the Iodine.
I have a feeling I'm starting to do more detoxing lately, and have done the salt loading to help with the toxic build up. It's all kind of an experiment with each person, although it seems we all are within close limits to each other, except maybe Trapper.
I have a couple question myself..so I'm going to go post them now!

This is a reply to # 1,020,397When doing the salt loading, or even just taking the Iodine, a reminder (I recently needed one myself) how important the companion supplements are! I found for me, that adding at least a couple of grams of V-C a day if not more is more than helpful..it helped with a lot of the pain associated with some heavier detoxing, and especially helped with my problem colon.
I'm going to start taking it through out the day, a couple grams at a time, a couple times a day. If I get to between 5-10 grams for a while that's ok with me. If I find it's too much (if you were to take that much you'll be certain to know if it's too much pretty quickly) I'll cut back. I'm also upping the % of raw foods, fresh green and fruit juices per day.
Ok, well..onward I march to the beat of Iodine streaming in my body!
