I am looking for some guidance in regards to Iodine use.
My personal situation is pretty complicated so I won't go into all the details now, but I started taking 50mg Iodoral this past late spring or early summer. Initially I had some good effects....the most noticeable was a lot less soreness after a moderate weight workout or other exercise.....this was very exciting
Sometime in early july i started taking vita D. At first improved bowels....not loose... and my knee pain got a lot better. About two weeks later started feeling like I was getting sick but I didn't. Stopped the Vita D and then got better.
I was taking 5000IU/day. knee pain came back so I tried taking a smaller dosage. Still had immune stuff show up. so I stopped it.
In late August on a cool morning here in Colorado I got up and got chilled and it took me hours to warm up. I just figured that my condition was getting worse.
In early September I felt like I was starting to get sick...did some herbal things to manage it but then I stopped taking the iodoral and felt quite a bit better almost immediately and I felt warmer. After that even taking small dosages of Iodoral brought on the immune stuff.....very similar to the Vita D experience.
Now I have not taken Iodine for almost two months or longer and I still feel on the edge of getting sick.....
Am I in the middle of a bromide detox that I need to go through?
Am I in the middle of a Thyroid slow down that I need to go through?
I have severe food allergies so taking all the support supplements is very difficult for me. If I take more than 50 mg of Mag a day I get loose stools, taking Calcium makes me really stiff and tight,
I seem to be having difficulty getting clear on how much Se I should be taking after reading several of the posts here.
I do the salt flushes for sure....even now and they seem to help.
Vita C seems to give me loose stools pretty easily too.
I have been thinking I should contact Brownstien and see if he will take me on as a long distance client.
I am a bodyworker and since I have saw Brownstien talk in May I have been selling Iodine test kits to clients and many are noticing nice changes from the Iodine supplementation. So I get how helpful it can be.......
Anyway, any ideas, thoughts or directions would be appreciated.
Thanks!- Re: Iodine and dragging immune syste... warthog

This is a reply to # 1,324,646One thing that comes to mind is making sure you're getting vitamin A and D from food sources (and sunlight, in the case of D), not synthetic vitamins. Synthetic A and D cause problems and just aren't as helpful as those from food. You don't want to get those out of balance, like you don't want your copper/zinc ratio out of whack, or calcium/magnesium ratio.
The Weston A. Price Foundation (www.wapf.org) has articles with information explaining how to get vitamins A, D (and K, another fat-soluble one). Cod liver oil can be tricky because the usual deodorizing processing means they strip out the vitamins and add synthetic ones back in. I gave up on Carlson's for that reason and bought the expensive butter oil/cod liver oil/fish oil combination oil from Dr. Ron's. If you decide to go that route, the high-vitamin butter oil is so reduced from milk, I doubt you'd have problems if you have milk allergies normally. Some people who find themselves lactose intolerant can eat butter, and if not butter, then ghee, which has all those milk solids removed.
Other nutrients that work synergistically with vitamin D are calcium, magnesium, and boron.
Getting good fats (low polynunsaturates, high saturates, in the form of lard, tallow, butter, coconut oil) has helped me tremendously. That includes my immune system. I'm not out of the woods yet.- Re: Iodine and dragging immune syste... cougar

This is a reply to # 1,324,873I get really inflamed gums when I eat cod liver oil
Even the high end stuff....liver of grass fed beef or bison
I took 100000 IU of A for 8 months 5 years ago and
I am wondering if I screwed up my liver????
I was in a desperate place and blindly following someones
Guideance
The butter oil gives me whiteheads on my face
The next day
I can live with that but it seems that it is not
detox to me
I just bought a bunch of grass fed bison and some truly
free range chicken and after a few days got a monster painful zit
inside my nose.....a repeating pattern I had forgotten about
Gosh I am feeling like I am not appreciating your helpful
suggestions
I will mention that I take cortef (hydrocortisone) armour thyroid and topical progesterone
I didn't take my progesterone today and I am feeling better
Perhaps something Is healing and I need to adjust ??????
I eat a lot of coconut oil
How much selenium do you take and what form?

This is a reply to # 1,324,927A+E are burned up as antioxidants due to heavy metals, they are NOT needed in high amounts once you get rid of the metals.
D is best from the Sun or Sunbed, if you have L-form bacteria D is deadly, at best high supplementation of D works like taking an allergy pill and slows down you immune system.
By the effect you get from oils I would say you need to work on your Liver/Gallbladder first. Perhaps a Liver Flush or two and daily Magnesium Malate in therapeutic doses to keep that area stone free.

This is a reply to # 1,324,927Wow, no I don't think you're not appreciating my advice, clearly you've tried things and your situation is more complicated than mine. Don't be afraid to wean yourself off of the thyroid meds and the progesterone in whatever way is appropriate. That reminds me, I haven't gotten any "monster painful zit" inside my nose in a loooong time, and not just since I've been pregnant. In my own case, cleansing didn't work until I changed my diet and started the slow nutritional recovery I am still working on. I ate soy and it screwed me up. The more I read about copper toxicity, the more I think I've been recovering from that for years. I think eating the meat and fat of pastured animals and lots of eggs from chickens living outside has helped tremendously with zinc, if copper toxicity was part of my problems. I had to eliminate gluten from my diet, and I keep wondering if that is related to copper overload and various deficiencies (including iodine) / out of balance nutrients. One day I may be able to eat it again, who knows. If copper toxicity is a problem, eating lots of liver may actually be a problem. I doubt a milliliter of butter oil / cod liver oil combo each day is going to make the copper worse, and according to an article I just read, can be part of healing. I've only been taking that combination since I've been pregnant - before that, I sometimes took cod liver oil. I don't overdo it with vitamins A & D.
Selenium - I take this T.E.Neesby Aqua Sel, selenous acid, one or two drops a day (on the days that I think about it! I take nothing consistently).
All I can say is, lots of research, go slow, and if you can find a naturopath to help you, so much the better, as long as you trust that person and don't follow the person blindly if something doesn't work. Homeopathic remedies and Chinese herbs might help if you're having a lot of problems.
I wonder if the CLO is causing you to use up something else you have precious little of, like B vitamins, contributing to inflamed gums? No idea. If you have metal fillings, even worse. My "diet" consists of some fermented foods with a lot of bacteria and presumably all the B vitamins they produce.
