I'm back and got most of the questions asked....however he didn't have a lot of time to go into details. I need to listen to my tape to really give all the information and I'm too tired for that right this moment.
Here's the jest of the important stuff:
(Uny...go to the end for fluoride stuff.)
Iodine and Heavy metals
Iodine is chelating ALL heavy metals and binding them to them. (couldn't get into how this happens...he said Abrahams has the papers but I don't think they're on the optimox site)
They come out via the liver and kidneys but even in large amounts aren't damaging as they are bound to the iodine.
He doesn't know what amounts come out where...like what % is coming out via kidneys and what % in feces.
There is a linear relationship with amount iodine and amount heavy metals being removed.
Abraham's tests show that none of the needed minerals (Ca, Mg, Se etc) are also pulled out. Iodine seems to bind selectively.
On constipation and diarrhea that doesn't improve with iodine....he said usually there's improvement and he doesn't know why this would be.
Also cilantro should help chelate mercury faster.
NIS symporters
The symporters appear to max out at around 50mgs for most people. Taking more iodine is okay but it's going to be absorbed differently (think he said diffuses in rather than active take-up) if the cell needs it otherwise it's excreted via urine.
He doesn't think there's a need to go over 100mgs for most people. Asthma however responds to 400-500mgs with no problems because it's muculictic.
When the thyroid is removed the tissues still respond by absorbtion.
Support Minerals
Any buffered C will do ...regular C will no have the same effect. The Ca/Mg do not cause a problem in buffered C. Most people do best taking it with or near to using the iodine. It's purpose is the repair the NIS symporter.
Dosing and other Applications
Douching with iodine was not something he used...no reason he simply gives it orally. Iodine does act differently when taken orally than allowed to diffuse in via membranes like vaginal. We ran out of time to get into more on this.
Eskin has been a big supporter of only molecular iodine but recently has changed and recognized that both types are needed.
Men and smaller women can stick with 50mgs. Breast cancer women immediately are started on 100mgs.
He said Abraham uses 100mgs/day and has been for years. He takes 50mgs/day.
B3 or inositol Hexanicotinate
He has a paper coming out in June with Abrahams on this. It helps in binding the iodine and works to burn more fat.
recommended dose is 600mgs twice a day......or if you have problems with it 600mgs once a day.
Vrp.com sells it.
Detoxing Halides
The bromide test is out and as soon as he can get it completed the fluoride test will come out.
*** Fluoride....he said it takes 8 weeks on 50mgs/day to pull out most the fluoride from tissues. This is from a study Abrahams did looking at urine levels. The iodine is capable of displacing all halides smaller than it. He didn't really have more to say on fluoride and I was really pushing at his time at this point.
On me.....I can continue on with 100mgs iodoral since I'm feeling well on it. He also added DHEA at 50mgs/day
(which when I said isn't that a lot for a female he said no...then said look at his skin and how few wrinkles he had. He's been on DHEA since he was 45 and he's 55 now. He does look good and has beautiful smooth skin. He thinks my previous DHEA problems won't happen with iodine)
Also put me on pregnenolone as my levels were at rock bottom and he said that a sign my adrenals are not functioning.
And took me off Weston price diet of lots of good fats for a few months. He analyzed my breath and said my body isn't breaking down fats at all....not good for my heart as it needs fats for it's food source. He wants me to try a low fat/low carb diet (yuck..but I have to do it) for a 2 months to see if I can move it back to burning fats more efficiently. So I'm taking a food supplement for 2 meals and veggies and white meat for dinner. I can still use a bit of butter,salad dressing and take my cod liver oil. Then I'll add the fats back in slowly and see what happens.
That's it....later when I download the recording I'll add anything I missed.
