My iodine journey so far
I started supplementing with
Lugols on June 11th 2007.I must tell you that I do not have any breast or thyroid issues,I am 'building my resources'as Savage Grace so aptly puts it.And at the same time trying to kick the bromides and fluorides out.
I started with one drop and have worked up to 15 horizontal drops.Detox symptoms were comparatively mild to what some folks were experiencing here but I did supplement everyday with sodium ascorbate,sea salt,selenium and magnesium.
One of the first detox symptoms was a sty on my right eye-lid,it kept appearing for the first couple of weeks, especially everytime I upped the dosage.I kept it at bay by applying castor oil and it completely subsided.Another reaction was BO,especially after I worked up a sweat..had to take extra baths before the family complain that I was becoming smelly.That eventually stopped too.
Another very noticeable thing was a throbbing pain in my right shoulder where I had received two cortisone shots for tendonitist a few years ago.Everytime I upped the dosage I would feel the pain as if I was receiving those shots all over again.It would eventually disappear.I figured that the
Iodine was kicking the toxins deposited there so long ago.Real powerful stuff,this iodine!!
On the positive side I have been enjoying a tremendous boost of energy.Last week I was on vacation and couldn't take my iodine, by day four I was completely out of energy and lethargic.Within a day of supplementing again I was back to my energetic self.Thankfully,I did not experience
Acne or skin outbreaks...I only got a huge zit on my chin when I was off the iodine,I dabbed some on it and it was gone in two days.I think my detox symptoms were minimal because I have kept all the channels of elemination fully operational,2-3 bms a day,rebounding and working up a sweat,weekly
Coffee-Enema and lots of veggie juice and water.I haven't seen any brown pee yet though,extremely clear pee.
On the negative side I've gained about five pounds,not happy and I experience knee pains and pains in my hand and finger joints sometimes.
I'm planning on starting the IP6 cleanse this week but I'm wondering if I should continue on the
Iodine as well.Should I scale back the dosage?Trapper also mentioned taking B vitamins after an
Iodine break to get rid of the extra pounds.Any suggestion as to which to do first would be most welcome.
Sincere thanks to the VWT team and all the others who are doing such a fabulous job of helping people to take charge of their health here.Keep up the great work and may God bless you all.
