Hi all!
I've made a bunch of SSKI (thank you Trapper!), and I have ramped up to 5 grams over the past several days. I hope to do this for about 3 months.
In the recent past, when I have dipped into the 1-2 gram range, I noticed I began forgetting to take my ADHD medication and still felt good, if not better. As I was building up to the 5 grams over the past several days, again, I noticed I was not taking my medication.
I feel calm, less stressed, able to focus my mind better and all in all, I don't feel like I am running around in circles not able to get anything done (how I usually am).
I am hoping this will help me get away from the pharma drugs and still be productive like I know I can and should be. Maybe end up with a maintenance dose of 1-2 grams daily after its all said and done.

ADHD was a made up mental illness like all suposed mental illnesses.
There is really only nutritional deficiencies.http://www.naturalnews.com/041607_psychiatry_ADHD_fake_diseases.html
How long have u been taking iodine/iodide?

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,094,823I fit their made up illness to a tee and both the pharma meds and Iodide make me feel much improved. It is definetly something, whatever causes it, the symptoms are real. I rather be taking Iodide than the stimulants, so that's where I'm going with this. I haven't been able to find these nutritional deficiencies, any suggestions, please advise!
I've been taking Lugols since 0ctober 2012 and just recently started trying out SSKI . I haven't seen an improvement in the ADHD department until the SSKI .
I do see the great improvements at 1-2 grams, but "high on water" has me curious about the 4-5 gram doses.

Agree this "made up illness" has very real symptoms as I live in close contact with someone who has it. I've advised him to take iodine, we'll see how that goes. You can lead a horse to water...
Something else I've discovered that looks helpful is the herb rhodiola rosea. It's often used to help with ADHD.
Just started taking it myself, the Gaia Herbs brand. I don't have ADHD per se, but it seems like something that is very helpful for energy and higher-level functioning.
There's a book, The Rhodiola Revolution, that explains a lot about how it works.- Re: Journey to get off of ADHD medic... SlownSteady

This is a reply to # 2,095,509I'm also diagnosed with this "made up mental illness", textbook ADD (not hyper) since elementary through my doctorate studies. At this point in my life, I see how the symptoms are so similar to hypothyroid (for me) and wonder how long I have been suffering a weak thyroid, Iodine deficiency.
I also take high doses (1-2g day), it suits me and my needs very well. Around the same time I started Iodine (last October), I started high quality oils (coconut, fermented cod liver oil, pastured raw butter), cut all vegetable oils, and adopted my own Weston A Price type of diet. I think that ALL has effected my ADD symptoms.- Re: Journey to get off of ADHD medic... Wondergirl77

Thanks for sharing!
Do you also take medication? And are the high doses in the form of SSKI or Lugol's?- Re: Journey to get off of ADHD medic... SlownSteady

No meds here, but self-medicated with coffee for about 14 years. I actually stopped my daily coffee the week I started Iodine (not by actively trying, just stopped needing it). I still don't drink it regularly, although I do enjoy it every now and then, just don't NEED it anymore. So I guess in a way I was able to wean off my 'meds' too :)
I take about 150mg Lugols + 1-1.5g SSKI daily.

This is a reply to # 2,095,834Lugol's AND SSKI , huh? For some reason, I thought it would be one or the other.
Can you convey exactly what it does for you that helps with your ADD?
Great that you were able to get off coffee! :)

This is a reply to # 2,094,749Brandon, You might get some bodywork, CFT - Gillespie Approach to help you with tight fascia. Believe it or not, it is common for people who are ADHD to have tight fascia, most people have it. I think CFT is the ultimate bodywork. Iodine rocks too but doing more than one thing makes the body happy. http://www.gillespieapproach.com

Interesting. I don't have ADHD (I think), but I was led to cranial-sacral therapy and have an appt. with a therapist next week. I'll ask her about this for my son who has been diagnosed with ADHD.
