Hi. I’m new to this forum and to iodine.
I’ve had serious health complications for a long time ( chronic fatigue / fibromyalgia / chemical sensitivity ).
Last June I was taking zeolite powder (pure) and then fulvic and humic acids to help me (humifulvate CMC). These were helping me at first, but then I started getting dizzy. After being dizzy July and half August I then started to get these horrible jolts and shifts at night right before falling asleep along with trembling during the day and pain in my fingertips. Long story short in the beginning of September I went to a health practitioner and he said I had depleted my electrolytes. So he started me on Potassium and a general MultiMineral (with Calcium and Magnesium and Boron and on). Also, he started me taking 1.5 tsp Sea Salt in water every day. This all helped, but still progress was very slow.
I started reading up on Iodine and had the health practitioner check my levels (urine test) and I was apparently extremely low. I ordered some Lugol’s 2% and put just one drop in a glass of water and started taking sips. The Lugol’s was helping me! Maybe allowing the minerals to get into the brain? But when I went over 4 small sips I started getting those horrid jolts at night again. I tried switching to SeaNine (with sea vegetables) and rubbing 1.5 tsp onto my skin. It also helped me!, but then the jolts at night came back.
Would anyone know what I can do? Is there a missing mineral I have to take with the iodine? How can I increase the Iodine without the jolts?
I would greatly appreciate! any inputs y'all can offer.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,867,058Just a thought: have you ever taken fluoride based antidepressants like prozac or fluoride based Antibiotics like cipro? The zapping you've described are listed side effects of these meds. If you've taken such fluoride based meds in the past, it is possible that Iodine is chelating the fluoride. Uniquity (Natural Healing) helps folks who have been on anti-depressants in the past and in the process of healing, and detoxing some of the side effects of those drugs appear even though it may have been years since the person had taken them.
It could also be mercury being stirred up. Do you have Amalgam fillings?

This is a reply to # 1,867,058I have had these before; you will need loads of magnesium (without the calcium) and real salt to combat them. Iodine can worsen it in the beginning if you lack the companions, so partly your practioner is right.
Selenium, vit B and C are needed too.
When all companions in place you will probably tolerate the fit dosages of Iodine (50-100 mg)

Hi again!
Thank you all for your replies!
To Lolite and Trapper:
No. I have never taken antidepressants or medication with flouride in it -that I know of.
I did though have 2 Amalgams and had them removed about 5 years ago. I did become very ill (more than my usual very ill) for months after the removal. So I do not doubt there may be some residual mercury in my brain? So might Alpha Lipoic Acid help somehow to up the iodine?
Ginagirl:
Yes, I did try to up the Magnesium using Magnesium Oil which you rub on the skin, but perhaps did too much since I ended up with another sleepless night and all kinds of shaking the next day after doing it.
How long did you have to deal with these?
And you are taking 50-100 mg Iodine daily? For how long? That would probably knock me out! At this time. What a wonderful thing to be able to do it! I sense my body really needs the iodine.
Thank you also for the fibromyalgia link! Before all this illness I was a swimmer, hours a day with a coach in chlorinated water, so perhaps that set me up.
I hope this reply works.
Thanks again.

This is a reply to # 1,867,370I doubt magnesium oil would be enough, although it has its uses. We generally recommend oral magnesium citrate or magnesium malate. You need a minimum of 400 mg of the magnesium component, up to around 1200 mg according to your bowel tolerance before you get diarrhea.
I think chlorine is nasty to the body. I gasp for air around chlorinated swimming pools, and my husband got bronchitis the last time he took a swim in one. I think you could be right, that this is the source of your trouble with iodine.

This is a reply to # 1,867,387I agree with JT; you will need a load of magnesium in the right form and it take some time until it is utilized.
NO calcium as it is an antagonist to magnesium.
It took a long time for me to get my magnesium levels up. I am talking about months and years; but my digestion wasnt the best until lately, so this will differ.
The salt is vital to; real salt, loads of it.

Hi again.
Once you started taking the Magnesium did your night shifts/jolts go away?
And, years, oh my.
How did you know your levels were up to par?- Re: night jolts and shifts, help!! Ginagirl

This is a reply to # 1,867,398Well actually the jolts ceased slowly; I now almost forget I had them.
If Magnesium deficiency is the reason why you have them it shouldnt take that long before you notice difference;
I believe it took such long time in my case because my digestion wasnt good, so I only tolerated 2-300 mg of magnesium daily, which wasnt enough obviously.
Now I can take 6-800 mg which is fit level for me. All in addition to a good diet of course.
How I know my levels are up to par? Well my eye-tics are gone (had it daily for many years) other cramping gone to.
Insomnia gone etc. One strange magnesium-deficiency symptom not gone completely, but much better is sound sensitivity.

Adrenal fatigue may be involved in both night jolts and sound sensitivity (adrenaline rush at the wrong time)

If you're so inclined, you can test for RBC magnesium. A useful target suggested by cardiologist Dr. William Davis is >=6.0 mg/dL. Red blood cell testing serves as a predictor for tissue levels, as opposed to the level in just the serum. Test after you've been using a generous amount for at least several months. As Ginagirl says, it takes a long time.

Thank you both so much for your replies!
I looked up natural sources of Magnesium:
Natural Sources of Magnesium. Whole grains, nuts, legumes, dark leafy vegetables, shellfish, figs, lemons, grapefruit, yellow corn, almonds, seeds, apples, ...
So maybe this says I'm simply not eating enough. I read a lack of Iodine can cause a decrease in digestive juices and appetite?
So, the chicken and the egg.
I will certainly be looking into supplementation as well.

yes, but you probably want to take some dmsa for a number of months first.
read about the Cutler protocol
Newports links:
//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1866896#i
dmsa doesn't cross blood/brain barrier
ALA does
so the idea is take dmsa for awhile, get your body burden of mercury low, so that when you start ala you don't move more mercury into your brain......- Re: night jolts and shifts, help!! skyglider

Thank You! PM Cougar
I will certainly look into the ALA protocol.
I hope though, I can find a way to keep increasing my dosage of Iodine (right now I can only breathe the stuff) since it is the one thing that seems to help my brain. I'm hesitant to start on the DMSA and then ALA Cutler protocol before getting more Iodine into the brain. I now it may be a Catch 22..
good day
