Started Iodine With MMS
Hi,
I'm hoping to hear from some
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement X
Iodine experts regarding my issues.
Because I haven't been getting very far with
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement due to heavy herxing (up and down in dosing) I took the advice of someone on here and started
Iodine (Iodoral 1 tab daily). I did read a good bit about it before starting, and I did do some topical
Iodine therapy a few years back, but I guess I missed some important information.
I started to get so much worse with the cervical spine/shoulders/neck/occipital/head/jaw/face pressure and pain, massive frontal lobe and occipital region headaches, ear ache along with throat (thyroid?) pain radiating down to chest, pain under the ribs, flashes of a pins pricking feeling in the eyes over the past week so I've been on the trail of looking for a possible reason. These are not new symptoms and I've herxed with them all for years on different treatments, but nothing as bad as this. And I've had 'bad' I can tell you! I stopped iodine and
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement a few days ago as I simply couldn't function, even enough to investigate a possible cause, and yesterday I discovered the halides connection.
Without knowing for sure if bromide or fluoride being displaced by the iodine is the cause of this reaction I decided it was the most probable culprit. The dry mouth that started with the exacerbation of the other symptoms is new (unless taking certain drugs in the past)and a symptom of bromine poisoning, and the other symptoms above, plus some I haven't listed that I've had forever and which herx on all treatments, tend to indicate I'm on the right track. See:

I have been taking about a tspn of Vit C daily for months now (since just before I started MMS so I've added 1/4 tspn of himalayan salt in half a cup of warm water followed by 16
oz of water twice a day so far. I see that I can take more salt and C but I'm wary of then purging Lyme/BB or co-infections (if I have them, which I tend to think I do). I've always reacted hugely to even the lowest doses of the treatments I've followed (guaifenesin, cholestyramine, flagyl, Marshall, MMS and now iodine) and I just can't take the kind of pain that these have invoked anymore let alone this 'out of the ball park' exacerbation from the iodine. At least I'm putting it down to the latter cuz the herx ramped up when I started it. I need to go gentler somehow. I was back at 2 drops of MMS (after metalic taste issue, which is another symptom of halide poisining) prior to starting and without realising that I was getting worse, I made it to 6 drops before stopping it and iodine.
I've resorted to lots of paracetamol which I don't like to do. :(
I need some suggestions about where to go from here.
Can I do both MMS and iodine together?
If not, which one should I start first?
If I do continue with iodine, can I start again at 1/4 tab?
And what about the salt and C; is this supposed to ameliorate the halide expulsion or just help get it out no matter what the pain?
If I do continue with MMS I would probably take it very carefully at 1 drop daily or even 1/2 drop.
I know to drink a lot of water and I'm doing my best. I cannot do as much as you advise though cuz I'm hugely obese so you can imagine how many liters that would be! I am taking loads though. Bebween 3 & 5 liters.
I'm sorry this is so long but I'm trying to give you the kind of background you might need to advise me.
You guys are all so knowledgeable so I'm looking forward to your thoughts.
Thanks in advance......Scouter
