I'm off for the day, I expect to see LOTS of responses to this post later! :)
This is the working outline for the FAQs page. We ask for your help. If you
believe you can make a contribution to any of these subjects, please post an
answer as a separate thread, for example, FAQ Testimonial, FAQ Various
Conditions. We ask that you be concise and limit your answers to one
paragraph - don't ramble. Use simple language, as we will be referring new
posters to this knowledge base. You can answer with links or a collection
of links, as well. We will then consolidate these answers and put them up
on the FAQ pages. If you have a subject you believe is not included here,
just follow the same procedure and we will put it where we think it should
go. We want to consolidate rather than having separate posts so we can
update that page easily as we continue on our journey of learning.
I am anxious to get this started and up, so if you could answer in the next
few days, I would appreciate it.

a good insight into emotional things, and I would like you to write
something on the body-mind connection, and any other part you would like to. Unyquity, you've done amazing research on bromides. There are so many other people that have contributed greatly to this forum. Newport- selenium. Matt & Infinitelove, any general brilliance you'd care to share.

These requests can be as long as you think necessary. Because I am
asking these people to contribute to a specific area does not mean that you
cannot contribute to the same area, but please keep the contributions
concise. Having said that, I would rather have too much information that I
have to consolidate, than to omit important information. Use your best
judgment. Your names will be used in the section with your contributions,
as well as links - please use links if you have them.

the sections, or sub sections, please let me know by answering this post

This is a reply to # 930,274Welcome to a great source of information and inspiration here at the Iodine Supplementation Forum - VWT.
This is a private forum within Curezone, which means that the powers that be: Vulcanel, Wombat and Trapper, rule. They decide for their reasons how things are done. Mostly that means tons of tolerance and some cool silliness. But, they are human, do not get paid to do this forum-running thing and sometimes can get a little flip answering questions over and over - who would not?? Plus they have strong opinions like most thinking beings, and express them - even as they tolerate you expressing yours. This is not a forum to debate anything - this is all about support and encouragement. This is not a forum to sell anything unless pre-approved by one of the leaders.
So, start by reading the Forum Description - the link is at the top of the main page under the forum title. That will clue you in to the overall direction of this forum, and the beginning of the reasons why and how we all take iodine.
When you have explored the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS) and checked out some of the R messages (these links are right next to the link to the forum description), let us know what else we may help clarify or reinforce or update and someone here will probably be glad to do it.
Remember the main topic here is Iodine and it's uses and benefits. The support supplements and protocol are part of that topic (Vitamin C, selenium, the salt push/load).
When you ask or share about anything other than Iodine or it's applications put O/T which means 'Off topic' - in the title of your post. This forum moves fast and some folks come here to just get the facts. This saves them sifting through other stuff they may not need right away. And makes searching the archives a lot easier.
-Video - in the title means someone embedded a video, you may choose to skip it, but even if you click on the message you will still need to click on the video to play it.
The archives are a real treasure house of experience. There is a search engine to help narrow your field of searching. I began at the first page and read every post that was interesting to me and often go back and just pick a page and read. Over time my interests have changed through my experience with iodine. I always learn something new.
If you want to search by individual poster, you can use the grey buttons below their latest post to see everything they have ever posted here, or just the posts they began, or just their R posts. You can also search like that for everything they have posted anywhere on Curezone. So. if someone asks a question, you can do a fast search and see what their history has been and perhaps be able to give a more effective and valuable answer.
We are glad you are here.

MoreThis is a reply to # 930,274Lugol's is a liquid. Drops can be added to water, juice, soup, wine or scotch and drunk.
The correct way to make a drop of Lugol's is to hold the dropper vertical and squeeze the rubber topper. Each vertical drop is 6.25 mg of iodine. Then you can do the math by counting the drops.
Horizontal drops - with the dropper held side to side are twice as much - 12.5 mg Iodine per drop. How do we know? We measured, a couple times. Why?? Because some of us wanted to know how many drops of Iodine are in an ounce bottle.
Several of us found out then that we were taking twice the amount of Iodine that we thought - because we were using horizontal drops.
Iodoral is 12.5 mg iodine per tablet.

This is a reply to # 930,274OUTLINE:
B. How to start iodine
1. What kind to take?
I take Iodoral
2. How to start
I chose to begin a pre-uptake protocol two weeks prior to beginning my Iodine therapy that included: mild Seasalt water flushes, addition of selenium supplements, increase in Vit. C to 4000mg per day, addition of magnesium/calcium/zinc
a. Calculating the dose
I chose to begin with the recommended dosage of 1 tablet per day = 12.50 mg
b. Upping the dose
I chose to break my tabs in half after having taken 12.5 mg per day which increased the dosage to 16.75mg per day
II. Sources of iodine
I chose to purchase my Iodoral from illnessisoptional.com
V. Philosophy
I feel that the purpose behind our choice to begin ANY protocol must be made after we have determined what, specifically, we hope to achieve. Iodine therapy is probably the most under-researched supplement on the market, today. We must be very clear about our purposes for beginning this therapy - jumping into this therapy just because other people are expounding the virtues of Iodine could be dangerous if an individual has not taken the time to do research about what to expect and how to prepare.
MY purposes for beginning iodine therapy were due to a complete thyroid shutdown, and to help alleviate the symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis .

This is a reply to # 930,274FAQS: I have started supplementing with iodine. I am somewhat worried about my thyroid getting used to it and having to take it for my whole lifetime maybe? I mean, I know that it would be wise supplementing for a lifetime but I am afraid that supplementing might become MANDATORY after doing Iodine for a while. I just do not want to become addicted, is there such a possibility?"
//www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=913759
If you have concerns over the possibility that Iodine supplementation may cause complications then by all means be sure to proceed with the advice of a health care professional. And also be sure to stay connected with what you are feeling and experiencing with your body, as in --what your body communicates to you as you proceed forward.
Personally, I don’t like taking supplements at all. As an alternative, there are food choices one can make for oneself. Foods that will provide the needed amounts of whatever is needed for the body. And most certainly there are foods that I will absolutely stay away from.
All the information that is needed is here on this forum. As new information comes in, some of it can be filed away for your own personal use. In this way, it is a very alive forum. Enough people here are excited about reclaiming their health that has been lost at some time or other.
Ignorance is bliss.
The fear comes because you are now aware that the body may have a need for something that it may not have been getting previously. Before this, you were unaware of it, and without the concern for taking on such a responsibility.
Maybe another few questions will answer your question about supplementing for life:
Is the quality of life a concern to you? Or are you content on just a survival type of existence? Means: Are you content to move from birth to death horizontally --like any other animal? Or, are you interested in moving vertically --into higher realms of awareness and creativity?
Does your body need food? Air? Water? Sunlight? Shelter? Are these things needed for the rest of you life? Are you addicted to these?
If you do not want to think about what your body-mind needs…if you do not want the responsibility of taking on such a care, then you can go back to sleep [if you are able] and do not think about it at all. Nobody, here, will say anything more about it. Nobody is forcing you to move one way or the other. It is entirely your choice in what attitude you choose to have.
The question is more about attitude, then. It is your choice. Whether you look at taking on such a responsibility as a burden, or, as a welcome change to your present life style.

This is a reply to # 932,964We have all be conditioned from childhood to ‘believe’ that we cannot take care of ourselves… unlike the other animals in nature, the human child depends on others for 16-18 years of life… to make decisions for him…until he finally grows up and is on his own.
This is an unusually long period of time, if you look at humans as being part of the animal world. One becomes sort of hypnotized into believing that what you've been told by others is the only way… it has become such a deep-seated habit… depending on others… the so-called “experts” …and of not being able to do this for yourself…
And so, when things are not right, we have been taught to seek a so-called “expert” for help. We’re told to see the doctor when there is a problem with the body. To see the psychiatrist when there is a problem with the mind. To see the marriage counselor when you have a problem with your marriage. To see the priest if you feel you have lost your way in this world.
In my own search… in an attempt to find real answers for myself… to not ‘believe’ anyone else…but to find out through my own experience … I raised this question to myself… Can any doctor really know my body better than me? It is my own body… Shouldn't I be the one that knows it better than anyone else?
The doctor may be able to tell me much about his body…he may know much about how to set a broken bone… But, in the case of my own body… shouldn't I be the one to know it better than anyone else? …Shouldn’t I be able to feel what parts are not functioning properly or feeling not right? What foods feel right? Which ones don’t? How much sleep is enough? How much to work?
Hence, the first step out of the main frame is absolutely a shaky matter... so much responsibility... so much of what is unknown...so many voices that have told you that you cannot… But I can say to you from experience… the confidence that comes slowly, slowly over time...trusting oneself...it is immeasurable -the feeling that comes in becoming more free… and more responsible for oneself. Accepting this responsibility is truly becoming mature. It is truly a profound sense of freedom. It is a great opportunity that has come to you, with the support of so many here on these CureZone Forums .
So take your time …there is no rush… no one is pushing you to do this, or that … the voices from your past will come and go… for some time saying that you cannot… you should not…and its dangerous…just understand the fear and from where it comes… it comes because this is a new territory for you… a new beginning… it is a new space that your mind is not familiar with … it wants to retreat back to where it is comfortable… where everything is known… and nothing new… this is how it keeps you from reaching to the stars… and the moon and the stars are yours… just you have to come out of your hypnotized state…
Good luck and the best in whatever you decide to do for your self.

This is a reply to # 934,428FAQS
SUBJECT: EMOTIONS, VIVID DREAMS, FEELING MORE FREE TO BE EXPRESSIVE AND OUT-GOING.
(1) CRAZY DREAMS
I had the craziest dream last night and woke up every hour or so. I dreamt my dad of 80 years sold one of my antique dressers for $1.35 to a salesman selling CDs about the Presidents. I was in a rage because he would not sell it back to me. I was in a "flying rage" all night. Literally! I was flying all over the place screaming at everyone about my stupid dresser. I woke up feeling like I had a hangover!
I'm not so sure I like this stuff. Maybe I should cut back?
So is this a detox dream? What the hell am I detoxing?
(2) VIVID DREAMS—I still have little to no side effects (just a little headache), but tonight I experienced LOTS of extremely vivid and meaningful dreams.
I have seen this dream thing mentioned in other posts and I was wondering, does anybody know what exactly causes that? Is this a good or a bad sign?
(3) MORE OUTGOING—I don't know if this makes sense, but a lot of times, I would just keep silent in a lot conversations, I was known as a good listener. But in reality, I just did not speak up for some reason. Now, I will pipe up in company meetings, or just with friends, and they have all commented on how much more outgoing I seem to be lately, I wonder if Iodine could have something to do with that? –Sounds a little bit out there to me:)
---------------------------------
(1)There are at least a couple reasons for experiencing vivid or crazy dreams. First of all, if upon waking you are experiencing a headache or feeling like you are having a bit of a hangover, the chances are that this is a sign of fluoride, bromide or other heavy metal detoxing from the tissues of the body. When a quantity of toxins has been released, this may affect one’s sleep state to a certain degree. This may result in sleep that is not deep… often interrupted…experiencing of night sweats and/or having disturbing dreams that occur… as if one had taken some bad drugs and is having a bad reaction. There is a certain small percentage of people that may have an allergic reaction to Iodine itself, so, be sure to start slow with small dosages so to ensure that you can monitor this for yourself.
(2) Secondly, understanding the relation thyroid has in its connection with the 5th chakra may be meaningful for some that find themselves becoming more fluid with conversation and self expression. It is understood that emotional issues relative to the paternal father are connected with the 5th chakra [thyroid], while mother issues are connected to the 2nd [hara]. The 5th chakra is considered the center for creative expression. It may get stuck due to a past childhood trauma(s). Iodine seems to help the body release repressed emotions that are psychologically preventing one from creatively expressing ones innermost feelings. Repressed emotions are those that [for some reason or other] have not been allowed to be fully expressed, as they are tied to past events and remain as tensions within the body-mind mechanism. Dreams, remembering, and/or re-living certain events are indicative of their release. It is a way for these pent-up emotions to come to their final conclusion and closure. In other words, this can mean that the bars to a sort of self-imposed mental prison are beginning to dissolve away…it is the unloading of unnecessary baggage that one may have been carrying… in some instances, perhaps, for many years... It is considered as a sign of mental & physical healing. In this regard these dreams tend to be more vivid… with more detail… One awakens relaxed… refreshed… and with a sense of well-being.
This is the fundamental reason why we dream... for the dream state is a limitless arena for incomplete emotions and desires, that were born in the so-called 'waking' state, to fully play themselves out, unrestricted by social norms... as all emotions and desires naturally tend to seek a fulfillment.
