Re: 35 years debilitating headaches.

Well, we are glad to have you on board. Excellent testimony. I guess you just have to give this some time, one month for each year you have been ill is a very good measure of a good progress, my teachers said.

YOu have done this so right, changed your diet, taking iodine; and now also all companions.

For your symptoms "Other symptoms: Brain fog, bloated stomach, chronically tight shoulders and neck, systemic candida, gurgling in throat/ esophagus, sore vagina (no discharge), dry skin, small white spots on arms and legs (lack of pigment), warty fungus small things over skin, brain fog, depression, anxiety. Although post menopausal, experienced FBD and still have hard patches in each breast that hurts when I hug someone well."

-some hypo thyroid symptoms, like the white spots. Dry skin, depression, anxiety, brainfog.
The warty fungus things more candida related.
FBD, Iodine deficiency. Took me almost a year to get rid of my FBD.

Options for FBD is painting with Lugols on the breasts, a couple of times a week, or even every day, choosing different patches to avoid discomfort. The areola area is really sucking in iodine; in minutes, even in me after all these years. Sore vagina; nothing was better than a good aloe gel (without additives like parabens, parfume etc) - I particularly liked the Mountain rose herb aloe, mixed with a few drops of essential oils; soreness was gone almost instantly.

Borax in large doses may cause some dryness of membranes and skin, but sometimes one have to choose wether it is worth it or not. I played on and off with it, then decided to stick with it until the candida was under control.

The tight muscles I believe is magnesium deficiency; took me two-three years to get this one right :)

About the detox; not all have to go through this, the enemas and your cleanses may have contributed to this, or maybe it comes up in a later stage.

"Excited to be starting to feel better already. More energy, clear headed and more positive mood."
-yes, typical signs of Iodine working. In the beginning it may be a rollercoaster, two days good, one bad, then three bad days, one good. Until it stabilizes.

Head aches; salt, salt and more salt. Then adjust with water.
