cut back on the Iodine and see how you feel
if it's herxheimer, you will feel much better than before you started taking the iodine, and you will see the value of going for an even deeper cleanse next time
if you do not feel better than before you started taking the iodine, it's not a healing progression, so you are doing something wrong
maybe something toxic is accumulating because you do not have enough of the companion nutrients to handle the detox
maybe something else
maybe something else you are doing simultaneously is not compatible with what you are doing
healing slope is up
if you are not healing yourself, the slope is downward and you need to stop what you are doing

Hi BrightEye,

I have neuropathy too.


I don't know how far along you are in healing your neuropathy and how much you know, but it gets worse before it gets better. Once the nerves start to regenerate you feel the pain increase. It's also a very slow process to heal. Could take months or even a year or two.

When I first started Iodine I felt neurological pain from what I suspect was toxins irritating my injured nerves. This irritation didn't last. But it does seem to come and go through the months that I've been taking iodine.

And then I felt the pain more constantly and gradually more intensely but it's not the Iodine that's causing the pain. it's because I was becoming more diligent with taking the supplements and then gradually increased my dosage of vitamins/mineral. It meant I was giving my body what it needs to repair the damage.

On one hand yeah, I think occasionally the toxins being expelled by Iodine do irritate the nerves and slow the healing process down. On the other, taking iodine and high dosages of vitamins/minerals are what it takes to heal up. I actually think the iodine/vitamins help heal far more than the minor damage the toxins do when they're being expelled by the iodine.


I'm still in the middle of it myself but I can tell I'm actually getting better. You just have to be patient and know that you have to go though more pain in order to regenerate your nerves, but you are healing.

Hi,

I just wanted to add to this thread my own experience of healing nerve damage and Iodine. I injured my foot with resulting nerve damage and CRPS in July of this year. I have been having physio and dealing with the pain and discomfort. In the last week i have started taking B1 & B12 in addition to the ATP co-factors, selenium,magnesium, Vit C, Vit D ( yes i rattle when i walk) and I was taking one drop of 5% Lugols Iodine each day. Since taking the B1&12, i have noticed a gradual decrease in pain and stiffness in my foot. I read that Iodine can also help repair nerve damage so increased my intake from 1 drop up to 2. I usually take the minerals and vitamins in the morning and the Iodine early afternoon. when i take the supplements the nerve pain decreases, when i take the iodine, i notice an increase in pain and discomfort in my foot, tingling, and what i can only describe as small but noticeable electric shocks. I am assuming this is the iodine helping to heal the nerves? Even though the pain increases slightly when i take the iodine, I feel that it is helping repair the nerves and am hoping in the next week or so i will see a decrease in the pain and detox effects. any thoughts or advice would be welcome!
