Re: Possible extremes

I had reached a plateau with the Iodine supplementation before backing down from 50mg a day a few weeks ago... I began to notice that I started backsliding a little in terms of strength, endurance and get up and go.

I cut it back to 25mg (this is Lugols) about 8 days ago and still felt a little backslide going on. I have now cut back to 12.5mg as of yesterday and am beginning to feel a little better, as if the gears are moving ahead once again... I will maintain this for a while and see what happens; as of this moment, today I feel far and away better than I have for a few weeks. Better is relative, I have not felt too bad, nor have I been sick and I still ran circles around people at work... I just did not feel everything was as it should be.

I may back down again to every other day in two weeks and then 1- 3 times a week after a few more weeks; time will tell.

As I stated in the Iodine forum, I suspect the mega dosing and such is done for me unless I feel it may be necessary.

While I have absolutely no doubt that I have reaped benefits in the first few months of this therapy, AND that it is necessary to supplement Iodine ala Jarvis/Cayce recommendations on an ongoing basis, it is clear to me now, that for me, continued use at high levels reached a definitive point of diminishing return and may have even been the cause of the feeling that forward progress was beginning to reverse.

I am glad that most people that seem to be embarking on this iodine journey, for the most part, appear to be those that listen to their bodies and inner voices. I suspect they will become aware and know when they have reached the point that I have... maybe taking longer or less time to get there as we are all different.

I do believe there is an awfully lot of misinformation and disinformation out there on iodine.... and anything else for that matter.

I still wish our medical professionals would take the high road and learn about not only mineral and elemental deficiencies and balance, but chemical toxicity as well; I won't hold my breath.
