Not experiencing energy benefits of iodine
I am one of those not experiencing the positive benefits of
Iodine i.e. waves of physical & mental energy, mental clarity, better sleep, etc., and I really want to get there.
I'm taking per day:
100-200 mg Hakala's LugoTabs (Iodoral)/Trapper's
Lugol's &
SSKI 2/Terry Naturally Tri-Iodine
(first 90 days TN tri-iodine 6.25 mg, followed by 30 days on the 100-200 mg LugoTabs/Lugol's/
SSKI 2, just beginning month 4)
200 mcg l-selenomethionine
9 mg tri-boron
B-2 100 mg
Niacinamide 1000 mg
MK-7 90 mcg
D3 10,000 IU
Vitamin C (Vitacost brand ascorbic acid) 10 grams
I just added Wholesale Nutrition potassium ascorbate 1 tsp (700 mg potassium)
Source Naturals Ultra Mag will be added tomorrow
Also:
Garden of Life Primal Defense Ultra Probiotic 3 capsules
NAC 3 grams
MSM 4 grams
Daily meds are:
For thyroid:
Levothyroxine 100 mcg
(thyroidectomy 1988/Hashimoto's)
Mental meds for bipolar et al:
Guanfacine 2 mg
Strattera 60 mg
Lamictal 150 mg
Lexapro 30 mg
For allergies/asthma, about 2x per week:
Allegra prn
Symbicort inhaler prn (I know it's a bromide, looking for better alternative)
Albuterol inhaler prn
What
Iodine IS doing:
Greatly reduced pain/inflammation/lumps in FBD breasts
Stopped narly scalp itch
Much hair loss with lots of new growth
Better vision
I can sweat now
Weight loss
Detox symptoms, which I am able to relieve with salt pushing, etc:
Profuse sweating/hot flashes that last most of the day
Depression/dark thoughts/irritability
Red spots on cheeks
I'm doing:
Salt Pushing
Lots of water
Waiting for
Coffee-Enema supplies to arrive
Using borax &
Iodine externally for painting/bathing
I am wheat intolerant and have a history of leaky gut/not absorbing nutrients. Avoiding wheat & all derivatives for 2 decades has resolved all bowel problems but am wondering if my body is somehow not absorbing/utilizing iodine fully.
I am 56 y.o. Caucasian female
Don't think I've left anything out.
I read here about P5P & IP6, but haven't tried them yet.
Please post your thoughts, questions, ideas, & advice.
Much appreciated!
