Distilled water, iodine, and lack of buffer minerals.
Thank you all for your replies
I believe the distilled water combination with the
Iodine may have been a bad combination because the cat was lacking the minerals it needed for buffering the toxins that resulted from biofilm dieoff while ingesting the iodine.
Alkine minerals are used from the body's resources to keep it from becoming too acidic in the bloodstream, and when these are not supplied in sufficient enough quantity (via water, food, or osmotic processes through the skin), then there is a decline in energy levels and health-
AKA, the cat was not getting enough calcium, magesium, etc to buffer out the dieoff of candida and
parasites that the
Iodine induced.
It is quoted here in the IodineVWT forums that
Iodine speeds the use of other minerals, and selenium, boron, magnesium and zinc are part of the cofactors reccommended.
To offer the best source of alkiline minerals for kitty's buffer-zone, a gentle soaking bath in boron water at a dilution of 1 teaspoon to 5 liters of water should be enough, with salty water (sea or straight salt) to drink afterwards.
Boron is always peed out first before magnesium and calcium, helping the body retain those, and it can be used interchangeably with magnesium at the cellular level, except in one case- infectious critters like hyphal-form candida,
parasites and the like cannot tolerate it, because it is too alkiline.
If the cat pees like a horse and drinks like mad, keep salty water on offer and keep her in the bathroom until she is all peed out. Like magnesium and other alkiline minerals, the ideal balance for the body's cells is at a ratio to other electrolytes.
That is a more complicated matter.
