Re: bloating and weight gain on iodine

I havent had this myself, but I found one with some relief from magnesium; you may add some boron to your supplement if you havent already; as it helps the body to balance calcium / magnesium+ retain the needed magnesium.


"My latest fluoride detox theory centers around the inclusion of dried plums in my regular diet. Prunes are naturally high in boron, a mineral that displaces fluoride from the body.

In the beginning, even a single prune would cause my fluoroderma to flare up, but now I can eat a few at a time. Being that I’ve been at this fluoride detox thing for over a year now, I consider that progress!

Here are a few other small signs of progress that give me confidence I’m on the right track with my fluoride detox efforts.

Effect of Magnesium Supplements on Water Retention
One of the side effects I experience when I detox fluoride too quickly is persistent water retention, particularly around my stomach and, when it’s really bad, my lower legs. The magnesium supplements help with that significantly.

The form of magnesium I am taking is magnesium taurate (as recommended in The Magnesium Miracle by Carolyn Dean). It is easily digested unlike other more common forms of the supplement. I haven’t noticed any negative side effects whatsoever. I also use magnesium oil on occasion, although I’m not nearly as consistent with that. It can be itchy and I don’t always have time to deal with it.

Since I started supplementing with magnesium, I haven’t had any cramps in my legs and my calves don’t swell or feel tense on plane rides. I didn’t see any difference at all when I tried supplementing with potassium, so I think the fluoride detox somehow caused a distinct magnesium deficiency. I’m relieved to finally have that one figured out."
