Currently I have on board long time:
DE in RO water(still bathing in tap water though!)
Bitters
Amla
Chickweed
Nettles
Mag. citrate
B-complex
Chaga
Probiotic powder
Bee Pollen
Oil pulling/eating VCO
Cayenne pepper
***another round of Wormwood Combo after long time off
(and yes, I have the pesky critters and keep passing them WITHOUT CLEANSING NOW, so haven't done parasite herbs for about a year, but decided it could be time to help this along again).
Recently added Pink Himalayan salt (sole)
*** I am interested in your idea for water softener salt in bath instead of expensive Himalayan
($30 for 2.2 lbs - all in one bath ??!!)
I want to know how softener salts compares?
If using salt for a detox bath it really does not matter if the salt is mined or ocean derived. The reason is that the salt is merely changing osmotic balance. Basically water will travel from a higher purity to a lower purity. Therefore, if you put enough salt in the bath water the salinity will be higher in the bath than in the body. So the water moves from the body in to the bath water trying to create an equilibrium. Since water is solvent it carries the dissolved toxins with it in to the bath water. So it does not matter if the salt is simple sodium chloride, or if it contains various minerals or high levels of specific minerals giving it color since the minerals are not moving in to the body. The salt is drawing water and toxins out of the body. Buying expensive salt to do this is just a waste of money.
also RECENT:
Selenometionine
and SSKI two drops per day
I know you disagree here but I have tender thyroid nodule for as long as I can remember, and want to try addressing it directly now that I have spent some time working on adrenals. I felt a quiet elevation in clarity upon starting SSKI, like the last 15% brainfog starting to lift.
I grew up in the Goiter belt, so may have had lifelong issues - now post-Meno 6 years with no HRT's.
Again you need to keep in mind that there are many reasons for hypothyroidism. Iodine does not address all of them and high doses of iodine are contradicted in some cases.
++++ Since I began utilizing some of your suggestions I have gained 17 lbs. back - now weigh 120 lbs. @ 5'6"
I have renewed energy, am assimilating food and water normally again, only occasional sleep problems. Magnesium made little heart episodes stop. DE slices and dices the critters well and my hair and nails are good again - bones don't feel so fragile. Actually feel the fluttering of returning libido, too (OH Jeeez)++++
Glad to hear you are feeling better. And libido is not a bad thing. Many people would do most anything to get their libido back.
Oh yes, and the never-ending scalp problem ........is never-ending, but may be bacteria all cracking, popping through my sinus/ears/head from broken teeth?? (no way to fix yet - broken above the gumline molar/amalgam for 5 long years).
Any thoughts Hv?
Not sure what to tell you about the scalp issue without knowing what is causing it for sure.
