Re: Answer to miss helfinger!

EDIT***until you feel better, I'd really stay as far away from wheat as possible.
Google 'depression' and 'food allergens'. You'll see what I'm talking about.

Your protein choices sound pretty good, but I didn't hear anything about veggies or fruits. How about minerals? Molasses, apple cider vinegar, sole (salt solution), potassium chloride - what's your mineral intake like? Aminos need co-factors besides EFA's to rebuild neuro-chemistry. They need minerals and vitamins - so do your adrenals.

The adrenals can take a long time to repair. There are many people on this board that have done a few drops a few times a week while focusing on the companion stuffs. The Iodine protocol is no mess - it will bring up all things that have laid dormant like demons waitin' to getcha. As toxins come up, it triggers panic responses.

A lower dose, consistently for a bit, while focusing on the proper salts and produce would help a great deal. It's pretty common to swing between hypo and hyper while doing this but it shouldn't last too long. Mine looked about like this, come to think of it:

1st month on iodine: felt a ton better, emitted scary parasites, hormones much better.
2nd month on iodine: adrenals kicked in, lowered the dose of iodine, focused on flushing more, added adrenal support.
3rd month on iodine: adrenals calm, more vibrant, sleeping better, upped the dose again.

You'll read different opinions. When I'd have a panic attack, I'd search the word 'panic' within VWT and read what other people did. For the most part the answers were 3 fold: are you eating enough mineral rich produce (to replenish your stores, a lot of Depression and panic comes down to depleted minerals (bugs, metals, poor diet), upping the dose of Lugol's to detox what is kinda fulcrumed out but not *really*, and some people have chosen to go back to a few drops a day.

You're still on meds while you're io supping, right? That's been my biggest concern with Pursuinghealing. I totally respect that situations can't really allow a quick detox off meds BUT if you're ingesting a halide donor while you're using Iodine to get the halides out - I think it may be one hell of a roller coaster ride. I'd bet it's none too nice to your thyroid while doing so, either.

WHEN I HAVE PANIC ATTACKS HERE'S WHAT I DO:

1) reach for minerals. I do a shot of sole. If that doesn't work within 10 minutes, I know I need to flush.

2) Newport's Miracle Adrenal Solution: 1/4tsp each: Sea Salt , pot. chloride & vit. C.
If that doesn't work within a half hour, I know I need more binding help.

3) I'll do a 1/4 tsp of IP6 a half hour later.

4) I've added this mineral-rich tea blend in, in lieu of synthetic calmers (like clonopin): 1oz. oat straw, 1 oz. nettle tea in a big pot and I drink the whole thing over a few hours.

You must remember that Depression and suicidal thoughts (read my posts and you'll know I have a lot of 1st hand experience with the latter), are symptomatic of a serious imbalance. Problem is, when you're in the hole, you need somebody to help you with info cause ya can't find it yourself. These imbalances come down to metals, bugs, mineral *imbalances*, sometimes deficiencies and lifestyle choices. A genetic kink might be in there, too.

Juicing will help tremendously. If your digestion is impaired for any reason, getting bio-available electrolytes & vitamins in your body will be like a life line to your neuro-chemistry. You're certainly getting good amino acids. Are you ingesting a lot of green matter? Kale, Spinach, Chard, Bok Choy (all loaded with iron and it's cofactors), beets, zucchini - the list could go on and on! lol

And...when's the last time you did a really good parasite cleanse? Each time I do a p-cleanse I feel better and better - and consequently...I get these fantasies of how I could have saved my mom and brother with all I know now. That's how much my body has been able to find balance everytime I kill a whole bunch of buggers. Buggers!!! Tweet
