After 13*( edit) weeks of Lugol supplementation, I think I finally turned a corner. I have been dosing on the high side, at approx 50-80mg daily. I took about 5 days off during this time. Highlights of this therapy for me personally have been increased breast health, mental clarity, amazing skin and bowel habits have been regular and very frequent. Sound sleep, increased libido, and here’s one for you-cellulite on my thighs has disappeared!
The difficult part has been the detox effects. I am only writing this post because I am awake and energetic enough to do so! My daily entry into my journal typically has read “Almost fell asleep at meeting today, brain fog and exhaustion. Poop once again, looks like something out of a Science lab….”
The last four days have been different, however. I am not experiencing the crashing fatigue that had me coming home from work and going straight to bed most days.
I have not been so diligent with the salt and c. I have felt this detox every bit. I basically looked and felt like crap except for those occasional days when my skin would glow and I was luminous with energy and brilliance. (I better pull off some more brilliance at work, I have fought to stay awake at every meeting I’ve been to in the last 17 weeks!)
The strong smelling urine, and the interesting things expelled from my bowels, -and once- I sprouted 50 pimples after a niacin flush- tell me some serious displacement of halogens is going on. The heart pain was a scare. I was intravenously given radioactive Iodine for the CAT scan at the ER. I’m thinking “oh good, what a way to get my Iodine today” What it did was probably set me back quite a bit.
I also was exercising when I started. I tried- really tried, to force myself to keep up my regimen during this time but I just couldn’t. I included weekly massage and occasional enemas and a couple of ion foot baths to help my body along. I finally feel like hitting the gym again, and I have the urge to run a couple of miles! This fast moving forum has been wonderful, I fell asleep with curezone on my laptop many a night, reading these posts!
