Re: 56 days, 3 weeks with 100 mgs. of iodine.
I think weightgain is because the
Iodine and chloride therapy kills off big pockets of biofilms. (Candida colonies) - they build their towns (nests, colonies) on polysaccharide chains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polysaccharide), attached to the body's cells (mostly epithelial cells) by a protien (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candida_albicans#Proteins_important_for_pathogenesis) that the body thinks belongs to it.
The
Iodine basically pushes massive candida dieoff, and then you get these biofilms that need digesting, and the city walls of polysacchiride (sugar chains!) gloop (which is also their emergency food supply) suddenly becomes food that the body has to metabolize.
And well,
Sugar encourages the body to make fats, especially around the gut, where the main colonies of candida like to hang around like gloop in the soup ;-)
If you wanna detatch the gutbuggers faster, I did some research on naturehacker's saponin-containing parasite-cleanse product that has diatomaceous earth, activated charcoal and tribulus terrestris in it. Was listening to a oneradionetwork (that's a website) broadcast on biofilms and how they react to saponins.. Oooh, they let go fast!
iodine speeds the body's natural candida-killing activity, but it's a slower process. Are you eating ketogenic, or still having pasta, rice, bread, fries/white potatoes? Those are the ones I get the most trouble from. They can continue feeding the biofilm colonies, and short-chain fatty acids of the omega-3 and omega-6 variety are the other foodsource they go for. (fish/krill oil are long-chain fatty acids)
M' hypothesizing here, but I think the weightgain is 'cuz your biofilm colonies are getting digested from the gutwall, and the released sugars are getting made te' fats.
I have had the neuropathy and belching and slight headache in waves too. I feel that both are related to the waves of acetaldehyde that the biofilm colony dieoff releases too. Drinking activated charcoal really cuts down on those symptoms.. and simple water fasting.
