Re: Iodine & emotional health

This post deserves an R/N or even a BSA. After reading on Curezone for all these years, it seems like most of us with health issues also must deal with painful emotional issues. So often we tend to bury all these problems and they manifest themselves in physical problems. I experienced a huge emotional detox from both The Master Cleanse and from Liver Flushing. Now, I wonder if the Depression and onset of long repressed memories is yet another layer of emotional detoxification I need to become truly whole and healthy and has been activated by iodine?

I went through decades of verbal and emotional abuse along with physical on several occasions. I spent most of my life feeling inadequate and never "good enough". This battle often results in emotional eating and just shutting down emotionally so we will not allow ourselves to be hurt further. I have jokingly talked about Mr. Spock being my ideal and first crush. I think I identified so strongly with him because I wanted to be numb to the crushing emotions of constantly feeling like I was never good enough to really belong. I know I am not unique in this respect, but at least I am coming to a point where I can recognize the problems and the source.

A few days ago I wrote about how Iodine seems to have the ability to draw out latent viruses and bacteria and push them out of the body. I wonder if it is doing the same thing with our often toxic, long buried emotions? There is a theory that emotions are stored as biochemicals in the gut and liver; and that is why cleansing can be so emotionally wrenching as these stored substances are released into the system and manifest themselves as the old painful feelings from our past.
