Thank you very much. I really appreciate such a thorough and in-depth response.

I have one question though.

What's better for testicle painting the Lugols with water or the Lugols and coconut oil?

Thank you again.

Wow! Where do I begin? I don't have all the answers you may need, so hopefully others can chime in. But I can help where I can.

1) Answer to your question:
===========================
Lugols liquid & Iodoral capsules are identical formulations containing both Iodine and Iodide in the correct ratio for all the organs of our body. Every cell in our body requires iodine. Unfortunately our Iodine receptors have been invaded by the toxins of fluoride, bromide & chlorine.

So when you start iodine, you will experience DETOX symptoms, not die off. Detox symptoms are typically pimples, bloat, headache. All detox is temporary. As your body absorbs Iodine and becomes iodine sufficient, your immune system will thank you. Plan on 6 months to become sufficient.

2) Your Body Temp:
==================
Your body temp is CRITICAL to your health. Candida, cancers, and multiple health problems THRIVE in low body temp. To see how vital this is, read this amazing testimonial:

I know it is a long read, but well worth every minute.

Of course you doctor could not find anything wrong with your thyroid. Most doctors could not find a thyroid problem if it bit them in the nose! They are too wrapped up in the USELESS TSH test.

The good news: Of all the organs in your body, the thyroid is the most critical and will give you hypothyroid symptoms when you are iodine deficient. For most of us iodine will restore normal body temp. This alone will kill off most of your candida and help restore health. If your body temp is still too low after 6 months on iodine then you may need natural dessicated thyroid meds. See this BIBLE for help with your thyroid:

The thyroid sets your entire body metabolism, including your hormones that control your period. All of your biggest issues will clear up as a result of iodine sufficiency. See our testimonials:

3) juicing - too much Sugar for your Candida. Eat the fruit instead.

4) Candida Diet
I like the Dr. Jeff McCombs Diet

5) YEA On the water distiller.
=============================
A GREAT investment to eliminate toxins normally found in our water, even in well water.

6) kidney & liver Flushes
=========================
May not be required at all after becoming iodine sufficient and normal body temp. The wife & I have never had a flush. With a good Paleo Diet, these organs are self cleaning.

Last words, I'm sure you are planning for it, but do not take iodine without ALL of the required co-supplements.

These supplements are required to get iodine into your cells and toxins out of your cells. The selenium is required to prevent Hashimotos Thyroiditis (thyroid firestorm).

Barracuda,
You have excellent questions:

1) I would like forgo the fluoride I'm currently getting in my drinking water.
===========================
This alone will go a long way to save & restore your health. Fluoride will take over every cell in our body to displace the required iodine:
http://tinyurl.com/iodine-and-halogen-robbers
Fluoride cripples our thyroid which messes up our entire metabolism, and makes us sickly with a Pandora's box of disease. Fluoride is the Sickness Industry's main weapon against our good health.

There are only 2 ways to eliminate fluoride in our water. Distilling & Reverse Osmosis. I don't like RO because it wastes too much expensive & valuable water.
Every reverse osmosis manufacturer will claim a 4 to 1 ratio. This means for every 1 gallon of drinkable water, 4 gallons will go down the drain. This is so unacceptable on many levels.

Distilling creates water as PURE as rain water without the atmospheric contaminants. Regardless of what the Sickness Industry says about distilled water it is extremely healthy.
Doctors highly recommend distilled water:

If you think you need to add minerals to the water, then add 1 tsp of REAL salt per gallon. It is not necessary. Cause hair thinning? IMO, Ridiculous BS from the Sickness Industry.

We use this distiller:
http://www.amazon.com/Water-Distiller-Countertop-Enamel-Collection/dp/B00026F9F8
About 4 hours per gallon. They have much larger distillers for larger families.

2) Also, I would like to ask about your personal usage of SSKI .

I take 50mg of iodoral every morning to keep my prostate healthy. Before iodine, I was suffering BAD prostate problems.

I also take 800mg daily of SSKI - 1 dropperful in the late evening and another dropperful in the early morning. SSKI does not bother my sleep.

The SSKI is for my Candida infected lungs causing Asthma:
//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=2183934#i

All of my Iodine is on an empty stomach. I take half of my co-supplements in the AM and half before bed.

Trapper is the Father of Iodine here at the CZ. He is the very best & most experienced at iodine, and I owe my asthma cure to him.

He has always said that MORE Iodine is better for everything and he recommends 1 gram of SSKI daily for everyone, and 100mg daily of Lugols. He speaks in riddles to avoid getting into trouble, something I need to learn how to do. So yes, I absolutely do agree with trapper. Yes, do add SSKI to your iodoral. I suggest at least a dropper-squeeze-full to start (400mg @30mg per drop). Read this AMAZING testimonial:
//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=2174442

We cannot overdose iodine. The body takes what it wants, and the rest goes out in urine. Even so, it prevents UTI's & bladder infections.

The Sickness Industry will eventually come down hard against me for being too specific on too many ways that make people healthy. Everything in my web site hurts their sales:

Trapper is too smart to allow the sickness industry go after him.
