Difference in B vitamin quality.
I really want to reiterate, because I don't think I really did in that post - what saved my butt was those B vitamins. I was so low in so many of them that it took that therapeutic supplementation to get my levels back up. If I had to do it over again (get off of meds and not do it cold turkey), I'd do
Iodine supplementation (to the letter, no mess), push through with all the halide detox, get my dose to a therapeutic level and do the probiotic B's.
I know I need to find a lot of good research to post on why the B vitamins are sooo important for keeping your detox pathways supported but my brain doesn't often remember the details. I gotta go look. I'm still detoxing too! lol
But - B vitamins are very important. I read a post a while back from DQ, I think, that said most dialysis patients were found to be dangerously low in B1 and B2. We already know that B2 and B3 are integral to the
Iodine process.
It's best to get them from food-based supplementation. That probiotic-grown B is the shiz. Shop around, though. The big bottles retail for like 80. You can get it for a bit cheaper if you look around. For replenishing your B stores, my practitioner suggested I do a 1/2 tsp 2x/day and slow up to 1/4 tsp 2x/day after a bit. You feel it immediately. It tastes like it's alive - because it is.
