Thank you for responding Ginagirl. I love SSKI - was considering adding lugol's...for??? I have potassium Iodide crystals here to make a new batch of SSKI . I am surprised how long the bottle I bought from Trapper has lasted - a little less than half full. I am going to add magnets shortly - does this change dosage? *****

I feel good about supps. list - was hoping this is all not TOO much. I am trying to find the best Vitamin C - I have amla, but I keep reading this is not best for Iodine protocal purposes?***

My concern about zinc/copper/possible iron problem is long-standing anemia. I gave birth 3 x in 3.5 years in the 80's and was never the same after - extremely anemic probably since then. My RBC's are too few and too large after blood panel (2007). There was nothing but obvious anemia at that time, when I was at my worst - no evidence of thyroid problems per their lovely tests, even though I was dying.....

I am not dealing with Medico's - I have come this far without them, and because of CZ, so won't be having anymore tests - any input from anyone on this is appreciated. I worked on adrenals for a long while per HV. I am not a big meat eater, but not strict Veggie either. I did methyl B-12, folate for a long time trying to correct this - now a good B-complex with methyl B-12 in it. Being several years post-menopausal I don't add, or worry about iron??? Or do I?****

I will get some scalp/neck photos going - should have long ago I suppose. So far, most correlations point to some kind of subcutaneous parasite, or raging infection as it does not look like any one skin disorder, but more like a combination of several. Right now it is bad at neck nape/scarring there, and coming out my right ear - not canal, but all through the upper cartilage and ear lobe is swollen, hot for a few days. Perhaps SSKI is kicking ass all over my body, and ridding me of halogens and stuff that has been pushed back by too Antibiotics all my life!
(last one I will ever take was 2004)...

I have been wondering about the copper - so much reading only to be uncertain in the end! I think I keep finding it said that zinc needs copper to work?

I have been taking 50 mg.Zinc/2.5 mg chelated Copper for less than 2 weeks - could not find it O/T at less mg. Switched out Mag.Citrate for Malate at the same time, taking 1/2 teasp. at bedtime, but I may need to leave out of my daily water bottle? I don't know what is doing what at this point. Maybe a pill cutter is in order? 50 mg.zinc too much to take alone?

I have considered independent labs. Would like to know if all my work has helped RBC's. There was a second blood draw back then to to see if sublingual B-12/folate was doing the job - injections were discussed, but I am not keen on skin punctures if not necessary. They have stuck me enough. I have a fat file with them from early years of asthma, allergies, migraines. (In some weird way it is almost like prior allergy stuff changed it's face - instead of showing in lungs it is hanging out in my skin - haven't used inhaler /nebulizer for 10 years! Maybe it is ALBUTERAL coming out my pores, making me itch!!!??? lol)

That follow-up three months later showed RBCs were even worse, but I did not yet 'get' that ALL the B's needed to be on board, and of course THEY don't seem to either. Since those days I have been working with good B -complex, add methyl B-12 randomly, enjoyed increasing energy, so this recent sleeeepy was startling.
Thank you just thinking! I do okay with supps. for the most part, but sometimes it really helps to work things out with someone else.
