Hello guys. I’m new to this iodine world. BTW i inform the webmaster of the forum that the mailing system is not working. I’m a male 26yo 78kgs no known thyroid problems. From europe(portugal), which bromide should not be a major problem i guess. So to start, I’ve been taking doses ranging 6-9 drops daily of lugol 5% for three weeks now. Along with the companions. Selenium as selenomethionine 400-600mcg now i’ve lowered to 200mcg-400mcg. Vit C to bowel tolerance + Atp cofactors Magnesium, Zinc Iron NAC and some coq10 etc all spread throughout the day i did stop the salt loads n ...

I have had 3 of my parathyroids removed and the 4th one is malfunctioning. I have to take Sensipar to control my blood calcium level. I am in the ”donut hole” and can not afford to refill the medication. Can I take Borax to maintain my calcium level? If not, any suggestions as to how to wean myself off Sensipar without severe problems?   [End]

5 days isn’t long so hopefully you are fine. One thing I’ve wanted to try and find on the internet is people who have gotten worse after fasting. I have been more fatigued after fasting but less achy, and a rash is less than it was. I still believe in it, maybe sometimes the symptoms can get worse when the body starts to push things out.   [End]

Thanks for your reply archus. I haven’t been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus as I have not seen a specialist yet. So as of now I do not have diabetes insipidus. Lets hope it stays that way and it’s something that can be sorted out. You can say fasting doesn’t cause this condition but if I am diagnosed with it, it would be extremely coincidental that it started precisely after my water fast. Especially if it ends up being the kidney version of the condition. If it is the Kidney version of the condition, hormone replacement does not work as your kidneys do not respond to the hormone. ...

Who knows, I am sorry to hear that you have insipidus diabetes. I must say that fasting does not cause this condition. There are a few things known about this condition. One, it can be caused by weak hypothalamus and pituitary gland, the other, it can be caused by weak kidneys. For boosting hypothalamus function one should take omega 3, good fats, vitamin Bs and chromium. For kidney function one can do kidney cleanses, drink lemon water 3-4 times a day. Also regular exercise and yoga will help as well. I am sure the doctors will give you drugs that will mimic hormone, vasopre ...

Have you done any liver flushes ? It might be related to your liver and your gallbaldder. Try at least taking 2-3 tbsp of EVOO every day to cleanse your liver.

Hi all, I completed a short water fast of 5 days around 5 months ago. Since finishing the fast I have been left with a constant dry mouth/thirst and frequent urination of very dilute urine along with feeling fatigued. Anything I drink just seems to go straight through me without me absorbing the fluids. I can only assume the water fast caused this due to these symptoms starting when I finished the fast. I have had blood and urine tests from my doctor which have shown low calcium levels in the blood and low urine osmolality (dilute urine). I am wondering why this has happened and w ...

Hi guys. I’m in need of some help. This is what happened. Back in 2013 I took a thyroid glandular supplement which led to me having an overactive thyroid. I then took bugle weed tincture in order to calm my thyroid and it worked. But then in the middle of october when the cooler part of the year really started, I had no energy because my right adrenal pretty much stopped working. In hindsight what obviously happened was my level of vitamin d decreased because of the time of year. Since realising the vitamin d connection I have taken d3 supplement but to no avail.

I have gone through two parathyroid surgeries. The first in 1995 when my upper right parathyroid was removed. The surgery went well. The doctor made the incision in a crease in my neck and it is now not visible. The second was in 2002 by the same doctor. The lower left parathyroid was removed. I was put on an annual 4 hour drip injection for about four years by my endocrinologist. Then Sensipar came on the market. It is also known as Cincalet (not sure of the spelling). Since 2006 I have taken the Sensipar and my calcium and potassium levels have been in the normal ranges since th ...
