While posting on another forum, I began to realize how far I have come on iodine. I began around April 15, so I haven't been on it that long. I take 5-6 drops at a time, and take that twice a day, occasionally three times. I have had breaks during this time as well. Here is the link, but I am pasting it here, hoping to give someone else the hope I get from reading your progress. I thank each and every one of you.

I can't tell you what you have, but it is obvious your digestive system needs time to heal. Go back on the juice fast, or a modified one where you also have vegetable broth. When you begin to add food back in, add one food only every 4-5 days and see what still causes a reaction. See if the same food causes a different reaction if it is raw, or cooked, or juiced or made liquid. Monitor your blood Sugar daily. You can often find monitors free with a purchase of strips, or Walgreens has a cheap one, very reliable called TruTrack. Caffeine will play havoc with blood sugar. If you crave something, stay away from it for a couple of months. It may be an allergen. Monitor your stools as well. They should be formed, easy to expel, and 1-2" in diameter and 6-12" long.

L-glutamine will help heal the intestines, and it really saved my digestive tract. I am also a big believer in probiotics and you know you have enough of those when your stool has no odor. The body needs extra digestive enzymes if it doesn't make enough or get enough from food. Aloe vera is very healing. As is clay.

Doctors do well when they can prescribe a drug or perform surgery. For this problem, you have to do your own footwork to find connections. And you have to dedicate yourself to changing your body, reading everything you can, noting how your body to not only food but environment and situations. A journal may help. If you need an antidepressant to get you over the hump, I say get it (sorry purists). I resisted antidepressants and all allopathic meds for years and kept spiraling downward. When I finally got on the CORRECT dose of the CORRECT meds, finally there was light at the end of the tunnel. I was able to get off meds with the help of Iodine and God, but if I need to use them as a crutch again, I would do that rather than wonder why I want to drive my car off a bridge.

By the way, the crying you report is something that started happening to me after I went on iodine. It was not associated with hopeless thoughts or suicidal ideation. It was as if my years of apathy were detoxing. I grew up in a dysfunctional home, with lots of bad emotional reactions around, and for years I cried at Hallmark commercials, knowing that my body was like McGee's closet where I had stuffed all those feelings and when I opened it just a little, things came tumbling out. Then I found emotions and they came out in often inappropriate ways, and there were years of just not being able to cope. So when I finally went on the antidepressants, I guarded my environment so closely that I was numb. I avoided much of life. The antidepressants helped me over this period. When I would not have the correct dose, I would get a little crazy. When I went on iodine, I started the crying described above. When I had a delay in getting a prescription filled, I had no panic. So I said to myself, "Let's see what would happen if I don't take those for a few days."
That has been nearly three weeks now, and I notice the Hallmark reaction has lessened somewhat, but I do look on it as an emotional detox.

For years my intestines were in such bad shape that I could not eat ANYTHING raw. Now, my diet is all fresh, some cooked, some raw, mostly vegetables due to diabetes. I am off all diabetic meds as well and my fasting blood Sugar this AM was 138 which is just about what it was when I was taking 7 diabetic pills per day and still having some processed food. Not great, but also pretty great considering. I think some of my roller coast emotions were due to roller coast blood sugar: that, coupled with lack of people to model and inability to find my own way made me a good candidate for antidepressants.

I have learned a lot from CureZone, being on the computer way too much, and reading everything I can. The antidepressants helped me to have hope; the Iodine has helped me to get off meds and still have hope; and I am happy I no longer have to learn my lessons through drama and suffering, but in peace. I look on everything as a learning experience, and I am delighted to be going through it; never mind that I could waste valuable energy in negative emotions.

Life is a journey. Just put one foot in front of the other and keep your eyes open.
