The little levels in iodoral do not compensate for a diet low in potassium. Most potassium supplements offer low doses as it is dangerous to take high dose at one time. Proper ratio of sodium and potassium are needed for normal nervous system activity; low levels of sodium reflect Depression and fatigue, while low potassium levels can reflect nervousness, irregular cardiac rhythm, muscle contraction issues.
Proper ratio of calcium and magnesium also plays an important role in above conditions.

Diet rich in fruits and vegetables will help increase potassium storages.

Because I suffer with candida problems I cannot eat fruit as it makes my problems worse. I do try to eat as much veggies as I can, but I am not sure that is enough if I am having these problems

I know supplements might not be the best, but that is what I think would be better than nothing for me.

Any ideas on good supplements?

Thanks

I know you say in a later post you don't do fruits right now, but please consider cracking open a young coconut & drinking its juice. It felt so good when I was low in something...I suspect potassium, among other things. This is probably a stupid time of year to bring this up, but hey, they come from the tropics anyway. I can get a case of them from the international supermarket. I would try to get the freshest if they are available to you...the ones sitting in normal supermarkets are probably kind of old.

I just tried that O.N.E. coconut juice in a box, and it was AWFUL. Don't drink that. My husband thinks it gave him headaches, too.

If you are shaking, either something is making you hyper, or you have low potassium or magnesium. Magnesium is the calming mineral. The mineral imbalances are dangerous. I would suggest you double or triple your vegetable intake. Vegetables have high magnesium and potassium. I do only protein and vegetables and my before Iodine symptoms were similar to your, so I don't do fruits either. Even coconut is not good for me. But I do make sure I eat a lot of vegetables, buying them fresh and making a whole meal out of them, sometimes adding eggs to a vegetable stir fry, or cheese to mixed vegetables. But I can eat just one thing at a time too. Cabbage, or okra, or broccoli. Onions and carrots with anything else. Just add a good oil after cooking. Or even butter.

Review to be sure you are not taking any other "uppers" with the iodine, too much caffeine, thyroid meds, cold medicines, diet supplements that have bitter orange, or ephedra, or HCA. If you are taking nothing else, cut your Iodine down to get to a point where you stop shaking. Take your pulse. It should be 72 or under. If your pulse is high, and you are taking no other uppers, you may be reacting to something in your diet and you may have to make adjustments.

If you think you may have adrenal fatigue, be sure to do the Sea Salt 2-3 times a day. Sea Salt is good for minerals.

Take a little Epsom Salts or milk of magnesia in water if you don't have any magnesium supplements to see if it helps your shaking.

If you have to resort to a potassium supplement, take it with food. They are very hard on the stomach.

Mineral levels are important and potassium is what the heart uses, especially the pacemaker portion. So you want to attend to this right away. But better to do it naturally if you can.
