Hello Wombat,

Sure, of course! :) Thank you for asking!

Oh gosh... the long story or the short story?

Okay, the short story.

I started out with kelp tablets, then went to detoxified Iodine until I had my dosage up to around 1/2 what a drop of Lugol's would provide and then went to Lugol's.

I have been taking 1 drop of Lugol's since June or July last year taking one or two days a week off. Just recently, in the last couple of weeks, I have been taking 2 drops Lugol's (vertical--- always vertical) maybe once or twice a week. Prior to the last couple of weeks, maybe once a month I would take a drop of Lugol's in the morning and one in the afternoon. This was a very rare occurance for me though.

Yes, I went the slow route because I had only just arrived at Curezone and hadn't yet gone through a bunch of cleansing. I had read that those who had been on the cleansing path had the least amount of trouble with the higher dosing of Iodine for deep detoxing.

Companion nutrients... since my main concern was (and is... though greatly improved) my liver and digestive issues: HCI, ACV and honey, kefir, Emergen-C and extra Vitamin C, occasional thyroid extract, as well as occasional selenium, magnesium and multi-vitamin supplements, real-salt 1/4 tsp per quart prill water, glass distilled water daily, eating as healthily as possible (with LOTS of organic apple juice)... and maybe others that I'm not thinking of at present.

Other protocols: oil-pulling 4 to 5 times a week, occasional liver flushes, periodic Humaworm, castor oil packs, weekly epsom's salt and baking soda baths, and... I think that that might be it, though, I could be overlooking something.

I've been off Synthroid since January 2007. Over a year now. No, I haven't been retested. With that said, however, I am intimately aware of what it feels like to slowly sink into the morass of not enough; and, what it feels like to be totally deprived. Once because of the death doctors and secondly because after that I didn't refill my meds a couple times until it became imperative that I did... based upon how I was feeling. Having the hormone decrease can be felt and due to my experience I knew what my window of time was.

At the time I began supplementing with the kelp tablets I was getting very close to having to go to the doctor to pay him to write on his RX pad for a refill as I hadn't had any for approximately 2 months. The kelp tablets alone slowed the progression of the decreasing hormone. When I went to detoxified, I could feel my system rebounding and regain previous levels. Even before I went to Lugol's I was feeling better than I had ever felt while taking Synthroid. And, that great feeling has continued and increased since taking Lugol's. Eyesight is better, energy is better, skin is better, joints are better, brain fog gone, just better all around! I even used to get cold taking Synthroid and I don't anymore with Lugol's.

I know that testing would be a more solid evidence over the subjectiveness of how I am feeling, but I sooooo don't want to go to the doctors ever again! Over the years I had become increasingly disillusioned with their "practicing" medicine, and after that experience I only begrudgingly went because I had to have the Synthroid to keep functioning.

Interestingly enough, I had always hoped and wished that I wouldn't have to take that drug forever and my hope came true.

Whew!~ LOL, probably a good thing that I choose to give the short story. :)
