Pretty Man, I've had fibromyalgia symptoms my entire life, just had no idea it was a connected set of symptoms until just about 10 yrs ago, in my mid 40s.
When I saw the iodine therapy, I was INTRIGUED! Dr Flechas' clinic is about 45 mins from my house and I was mighty tempted!! Fibromyalgia is one of the things being successfully treated! I mused on this long hours and decided to put the nfo in MHs hands. I sent him the audios, did research and sent him some good reading. He emailed with at least one of the good MDs; he did his research in his "Old Drs" books and came up with the formulas ... how much of the appropriate phytochemicals are availabe in any herbal formula or in any raw food you put in your mouth?
It's not the #s that count, but the assimilatable phytochemicals that matter, huh?
To date, I've taken a 2 oz bottle of the iodine/potassium tincture + 1/2 of the refill bottle ... now taking 2 teaspoons a day. Where I use to sleep about 45 mins in a row each night, I now am sleeping around 6 hours without waking up once!!! How much is this stuff worth to me and do I CARE how much actual iodine is in a teaspoon??
My finger nails have turned God-awful over the last 2 months ... dry, brittle, ridged ... the only change in my food and supplements in the last 6 months is the iodine and it's obviously running SOMETHING out of me!! and through my nails ... be it bad haloges or heavy metals ... frankly, I don't care what it is, it's coming OUT.
I'm 54, the perfect age for a generation that has been one of the 1st generation of the "kill all the babies" crap plan of THEY!! Lousy food supply, there when they put chlorine and fluoride in the water, bromide in everything they could. I live in SC, "the Wonderful Iodine State" ... but my food isn't grown here, it comes from Fla and Ca and NJ like everybody else's! I was in the first generation going to the dentist before I ever went to school. I was there when tosilectomy was to medicine what gallbladder surgery is today. I've been there, done that and wouldn't wear the tshirt if you bought it for me!!!
I ordered the Mrs Barefoot last night with Brenda in hopes of getting more calcium and other mineral salts that aide iodine and to get a regular dose of chlorella for heavy metals. It feels right!
Gotta book suggestion for ya, Pretty Man: Quantum Eating by Tonya Zavasta ... she's DEEP!! She's applying quantum physics to how the body uses nutrition. I got to meet her in Atlanta 2 weeks ago. At 50 yrs old, she has the glow and energy of youth!! Pictures don't do her nearly the justice she deserves. HOT DANG, I want what she's got!! Her aim is longevity!
