Hello all:
I am on my fifth week of doing Iodine. I have a weird problem for last three days, while walking all of a sudden my knee joints hurt. I have to stop at some points and stretch and then move. Could this be toxins not moving out? I am doing 3 drops, should I increase my dose?
ThanX.

This is a reply to # 844,856Hi Archus,
did you see my posts about knee pain? I am sorry you are having this.
I started having knee pain (one knee only) around the first week of march.
I noticed it while doing yoga and not being able to lower my bent knee
to the floor, as I was seated (badhakonasana, if you know the pose name)
with back straight, and soles of feet touching, and it stretches out
the adductor muscle and if you're limber you can get the knees to the
floor. On my left it just wasn't happening--the knee was much higher
than the right. Then I noticed the knee hurt and was swollen. And
then I noticed that the knee got really swollen after a session at the
gym with EFX machine and stairmaster. So...went to the doctor finally
after waiting some 3 weeks and the orthopedist drained my knee with
a needle and am waiting on the results from the lab. Xray showed no
damage to joint. Your kidneys MAY be backing up and depositing
toxins (heavy metals? I'm not sure) in your knees. The other thing I'm
experiencing is my left thumb catches, first thing in the morning when
I wake up or in the middle of the night, if I have to get up to pee
(which is often, now that I'm drinking a lot of H2O plus eating lots
of asparagus, which I always do this time of year, it's one of my
faves). That is a diuretic. It's the first joint, down from the
thumbnail. It is the oddest thing. In my case, I feel my kidneys may
not be properly filtering and my bladder not working right either. My knee
hurts the most after I've been sleeping or sitting at my chair, either
at work or on the computer at home, for more than 5 or 10 minutes. It's
a killer if I have to sit on a plane for hours and hours. I hope you can
get some relief soon!

MoreThis is a reply to # 844,863Good advice!
I'd also suggest looking at your liver, as liver congestion can manifest as knee joint pain.
As can manganese deficiency (or its opposing mineral present in over abundance).
If it helps, during supplementation with Iodine my joint pain has decreased significantly. Hopefully it will just be a temporary detox reaction to the iodine.
Ensure you're following the correct salt and vitamin C protocol, Im inclined to keep at the same dose and if symptoms increase to drop back but thats just the cautious part of me!- Re: Fifth week of Iodine - Knee join... julieuma

This is a reply to # 844,898I'm due for a liver flush, was planning on doing one toward the middle of
the month and then do a short fast around the end of the month, but things
got put on hold for a little while due to some activities I have planned
for that time that are not compatible with fasting. The LF's I've done (6) never
got that many stones out, dunno if they are impacted or if I just don't
have that much stuff in there. I'm going to start doing coffee enemas soon
as well, as an adjunct to flushing. I think the kidneys are in worse shape
than the liver, just my hunch. Great that your joint pain has actually
decreased! I never had any till just now. That's why I feel it has to be
due to detoxing and that the old kids are just not up to the job. I've been
at very low dosage with the drops, just increased from doing 2 or 3 drops
daily of the electrodine (was at just one for 2 weeks straight) and using
1/2 tsp salt in 2 qts. water and 1500 mg. C in one of the quarts and another
1500 mg C in my morning smoothie (which consists of fresh-squeezed OJ, fresh
pineapple, kiwi fruit, green foods powder, & hydrolyzed collagen powder
and 1/4 C coconut oil, and 1 raw egg--yum yum!). I make 2 pints of that
every day.- Re: Fifth week of Iodine - Knee join... citingsources

This is a reply to # 844,916I've experienced leg and hip pain on iodine. That's one of the symptoms of bromism according to the Army. A number of people have reported this.
The Gulf War Vets complained of this when they got a bromide pyridostigmine shot as a nerve gas preventive. Somebody has posted the link to the Army's report. I should have saved the link because at least once a week somebody asks about hip/knee/leg pain.
Sorry you have to go through this. You can either stop temporarily or use the salt water.

This is a reply to # 844,898People have mainly been talking about the left knee in connection to the kidney, my aches have been in the right knee.
I do now 25 drops, now writing here I realize that I have not felt my knee at all
to-day.
I do once inawhile kidney cleanse or kidney tea.
So may be the knees might be another symptom. I never had the headaches.

This is a reply to # 844,856I just went through the same thing. I didn't worry about it as I had seen the problem posted before. It lasted about 4-5 days & now it's gone. I've also been peeing caramel, chartreuse, and a NEW color, let's call it "desert sunset"...kind of orangey. This has all happened since I've upped to 31.25 mg. per day..... I guess we're starting to move them poisons out! :)

This is a reply to # 844,953You think?
With gout wouldnt there be swelling / redness and consistent pain not occasional?
With a diet high in uric acid creating proteins and alcohol?
Celery seed tea would certainly help with cleansing the kidneys.

This is a reply to # 844,968Good post everybody. I do not know if the knee pain is from Iodine or something else. When I first took Iodine my knees actually felt like I got sponge in my joints. Now it is reversing so it does not explain. Anyway I am going to continue with my steady increase and see where it takes me. By the way I am taking Dr. Clark's Sodium-Iodine. Also I have not done the salt bit for a week now so I shall start that as well.
Thank you all.

This is a reply to # 845,003OK, Archus, and don't forget your vitamin C! I take mine in a powder
form as it's a bit more absorbable. I put 1/2 tsp of it (which is 1500 mg)
in water with 1/4 tsp salt, and put the other 1/2 tsp, to equal a recommended
total of 3,000 mg. daily, in a fruit smoothie which is my breakfast. I make
sure the C is imbibed far enough away from the Iodine so that it doesn't
interfere--an hour or more.
Best of luck on your healing journey--

This is a reply to # 845,058Julie:
Thank you for the advice. I am better today than yesterday. I have started back on salt. I take Vitamin C at night before going to bed, a 1000mg capsule. That is way after I have consumed my iodine. I upped my drops by one drop, I am at 4 drops today.

This is a reply to # 845,366Hi,
glad to hear you're doing better today! I had a feeling the salt H2O would help.
It's best to go slowly, everyone seems to think that. I'm at 4 drops of Lugol's,
I started out with 2 (1+1) but upped it to 2+2 the next day (Tuesday through this
morning). Rash is definitely there, but not like before, when I was up to
6-7 drops of the electrodine (once daily). I think I may stay at 2+2 all next week. I
need for my knee to start relaxing a bit before upping it any more! Do you think you may
have fluid on your knees, or do you feel the pain in the cartilage or bone?- Re: Fifth week of Iodine - Knee join... archus

This is a reply to # 845,446Hi Julie:
I only feel pain in my bones, more so in my left knee. I must say that knee problems run in my family. I also need to walk lot more and then see the difference. Today is much better day than yesterday, it gave me just a slight pain when I climbed the stairs at the end of the day. In the morning I ran up two flights of stairs and nothing happened. Anyway, you take care of you self. I am also planning to be on 4 drops in 24 oz water bottle for one week. Then I shal up it and see what happens.
ThanX again.

This is a reply to # 845,667Walking is GREAT exercise. If you can't make the time to do that or if it's
inconvenient (if you live in an urban area, for instance) then joint a gym
and use an EFX, a StairMaster or a treadmill, or all 3. I was working out
when this occurred, so I can't ascribe it to lack of exercise, in my case.
I don't get out to walk as often as I used to, unfortunately--I now work
a 6 hr. day w/ a 1/2 hr. lunch instead of an hr. lunch, so I could get to
the gym earlier, ironically; I used to walk on my lunch hour for years
before that. But you too take good care and I hope you get relief. Are you
sure it's in the bone or cartilage and not water on the knee, as in my case?
is there visible swelling and a "tight" feeling?- Re: Archus re: Fifth week of Iodine ... archus

This is a reply to # 845,688Julie:
Yes, exercise is a great thing. I do not have any swelling at all. I finished my four drops today an hour ago. No reactions from it yet. I never had any major reaction like rashes, dripping nose etc. May be because I use Dr. Clark's sodium-iodide. I also fell that my vitamin Bs & C, Selenium and Niacin are contributing to this, as well as salt.
I hope your knee is better, mine is almost normal.
Take care.
And thank you again.
