I'm so relieved for you. I panic to think anyone has this bacteria! Manuka honey for c diff? hmmm...I have manuka, will put in my tea! Good luck on the whole situation. But do try the eyebright for your eyes, you will be pleasantly surprised after it starts to work and you get over the initial "sting".

This is one of the reasons why I encourage people to read read and read some more.

We're all different and need to educate ourselves, of course it helps to see what has helped others, but we're all still different with different lifestyles, eating patterns and stresses. One person's habits will deplete us in ways that another person's habits will not.

I went from table salt to Redmond's RealSalt and my BP went from a typical 145/95 to, well, yesterday it was 119/75.

Last week it was 117 over 74. It's consistently 'normal' now.

I consume a lot of salt as compared to others. One of my memories includes a VERY angry fellow-diner at our local restaurant, who mockingly spewed to his wife how I shook my shaker over my food. I just took it as an opportunity to talk loudly to my hubby how much I preferred my salt at home, but was glad I learned to up my potassium and water intake with my salt usage and how I went down enough in my BP to no longer need the meds (the doc wanted me to take and I refused) to control my BP. He quit complaining and seemed to appreciate the info, although I didn't talk to HIM. lol

research education read
As Trap has always said, we need to become our own doctors.

I drink 5-6 16oz glasses of water daily as I weigh 170 pounds, which is weird because my chiropractor said, "170? No way. You've lost so many inches!" (He looked at the scale in the room after I weighed).

Priorly, he even set it up for me, putting the 100lb weight in place and then showing me the pound per pound weight. I said "No, I need the 50lb weight in ITS' place, too!" He gave me an odd look.

AFterwards he said "I never ever would've guessed you were over 140-something." That explained the odd look. lol

hehe

Anyway, just didn't want y'all to think I was overly heavy. Just explain why I have to drink more than 4 bottles of water, and keep the importance of Iodine in this forum.

"The pain occurs generally more or less after eating."


Dr. Bernarr healed many thousands by prescribing Water Fasting with eyes closed only until seriously hungry (if dry dog food makes your mouth water you are seriously hungry), and then eat only raw.

His website - healself.org - exists only in the wayback machine, probably because it was so successful.

IMHO if what you eat causes pain, you ate something bad for you.

The primal diet is where I started 11 years ago. Nothing wrong with it, except that one had better live in California, where truly organic food is available. But beware the honey.

>>I wonder if I should start the primal diet.
Yes ! I will elaborate.

There is no way to answer your question and stay on a strict Iodine topic, so my apologies for getting off topic. IMO, Optimal health involves 3 common denominators.
- Sufficient Iodine as we cover diligently on this forum.
- Optimal nutrition
- Optimal sunshine or equivalent is important
Described below

Eliminate the JUNK FOODS that are bad for our health.
We started a strict Paleo Diet. This diet eliminates known food problems, such as:
1) Nothing made with wheat ***
2) No man made oils, only natural oils & greases
3) No soda pop, products made from High Fructose Corn Syrup
4) No products loaded with chemicals, and other restrictions
5) Eat a primarily natural food diet, meats, fish, veggies, nuts, nothing man made. I do cheat on about 10% of my diet.
There are several Paleo diet books available, all similar.
***The "no products made from wheat" is especially important & verified in spades by Dr. Davis in his book and website, "The Wheat Belly"
http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/

He explains that Modern Wheat is a Frankenstein Monster developed by mad scientists that creates serious health problems by causing leakage in the intestines that imitates Leaky Gut disease.( Celiac Disease )

The basic Paleo diet is further refined by diets designed to make Multiple Sclerosis go into remission, such as this diet by Dr. Terry Wahls video:

There is more to look into here at this forum which I consider to be a vital subject, as a further refinement to the Paleo Diet:

Be sure to see his BSA RN ALL-R topics first to make sense of the forum. His forum addresses these basic issues:

And lastly see this link for required sunshine for optimal health:
