Ohhhh Liver Flushing changed my life too! I must have done a flush twice a month for 4 years trying to get those stones out... it didn't work the way I wanted it to and my gallbladder nearly ruptured anyway, but it took away life long allergies and lord knows what else.
I feel lile I should keep flushing, but not sure it would be the same without a gallbladder? I'm taking milk thistle, but my liver needs some extra love with the enormous toxic load I've dumped since July!

i think it has to do with body burden. if you do a Liver Flush and enough toxins come out to bring you under a threshhold that was causing disease and distress, then the relief will be felt and be more pronounced than someone who flushes but is already below a discernable level and doesnt feel much of anything.

its important to decide what is good and safe and necessary to do and learn from the results, not stop doing them because of the results. plug a big hole and all the little ones start leaking.

so the answer is that if an effective modality is used and great benefit is gained from it then it is less likely other even more effective plans can be tried without achieving that level of relief again. the relief has already been had.

iodine is a little different because the more negative the reaction to it, the more it is needed. also, the first reaction is always the worst. after the first time you have some notion of what to expect, unless youre low dosing ridiculous amounts. people are totally on their own doing that. i cringe every time i read "one drop of 2% lugols." {{{{shudder}}}}

The "click" was may be not a good expression it was like a light bulb went on but it did not last for ever. Most of my brain fog and allergies went away with liver flushing.

No, not counting elementary common core math, 10th grade algebra 2 and 12th grade calc... but I just looked at that and laughed lol My kids are doing phenomenal though.
I'm trying to find a way to explain it to my coworkers who were present as I reacted a split second after the guy in front of us jammed on his breaks where the road splits into a fork. I maneuvered an SUV between the guy who came to a sudden stop in 65mph traffic and the construction sign and barrels at the fork, oncoming vehicles, over a median and into a wide shoulder area... before my passengers even had a second to process what even happened and what we just avoided.
Normally by that time of day people are driving home in a daze - obviously the guy in front of us was in a fog or never drove that route before and wasnt expecting the 2 lanes to fork like that (bridge construction) and i have gotten road hypnosis quite a bit in the past... especially after driving home from work... some days it was hard just keeping my eyes open. but since starting the Iodine I have that super sense of awareness and clarity.. like, i was able to process what that guy was doing AS he was doing it. My coworkers were shocked because usually we are all kind of blah on the drive home. Now, I have also changed my diet to an extreme, so that plays a role in my overall feeling of wellbeing... but Iodine just gives something extra and i can't put it into words to explain it. Even the 2 days I skipped, I still had the same extra sharp feeling.
The only time I didn't notice it was I think it was last week when I had to restock some vitamins and msm.. i grabbed a bottle of ALA to try as an antioxidant instead of coq10. The bottle says 200mg capsules - take 1 capsule 3 times a day. Ok, fair enough... so I did and that day I felt weird and out of it and had a slight migraine. I come here to look and see what others experience on ALA and I learn it's a heavy metal chelator. Oh, wonderful! I have no clue what HMs and what amounts I might have... no intentions of removing them myself either... and I'm reading that some people have bad reactions at only 2mg. For 3 or 4 days I had that headache and off sort of feeling. Finally a salt load took care of it and finished it off but it took a couple days to feel that alertness/clarity feeling from the Iodine again. My throat also swelled up a little after the ALA - i can't tell if its thyroid or not- i do have a photo..
http://imgur.com/uSBt1kd and http://m.imgur.com/ytwNpwS the lump feeling in my throat went away but it still looks swollen on the outside... but I kept taking iodine during that time too. To my knowledge i have no hypo/hyper issues. A year and a half ago my tsh was 3.77. Maybe very low borderline hypo because my hands and feet freeze and I'm always cold. That only slightly improved with iodine but it could be other things like being underweight. It's only bothersome on the days I don't teach gymnastics/acro and dance class... like when my blood isn't pumping.
But anyway, I don't know what I was detoxing from... i'll leave the HMs to the pros... anything else I can deal with. I find it hard to believe one day taking ALA would make my blood Sugar crash for 4 days... but I was afraid the iodine wasn't working during that period.
And another thing that makes it tough to explain about iodine, because now they all want to know details! Like Hanna said, almost every person reacts differently and has different dietary and supplement needs. I dont want to say "oh.. go take 120mg of this and you'll feel awesome" because i have no clue what it will do to them or what underlying conditions they might have... or if they'll even have the same effects as I have or what detox they will have. The worst of mine so far was a chest cold that kept getting stirred up... which I'm now learning could be detox through my lungs. It's ok though, I'll take that.
I guess all i can do is have them do their own research. There's lots of good info in the blog posts... but again, i get iffy because not everyone is looking to fix the whole picture. People seem to want quick fixes and aren't prepared to take steps into long term improvements. Is the iodine really going to do much good to people who suck down diet cokes and eat nutrigrain bars all day and eat motrin like candy?

Ok.. so that's one of the reasons why hypo people are sometimes sluggish?
Thanks for the explanation!
