We have been fooled in so many ways, the latest I found was a french study debunking a couple of myths about the use of bras; ”Women have long been told that a good bra can help support the chest, relieve back pain and prevent sagging. However, a new 15-year French study reveals the opposite: bras do little to reduce back pain and, over time, they can actually make breasts sag even more. According to The Connexion, the findings suggest that breasts would gain more tone and support themselves if no bra was used. Researchers explain that bras limit the growth of supporting breast tis ...

High TSH when you’re not on iodine most often means that your body is desperately looking for iodine. It can also enlarge in this situation to make a greater surface to get as much iodine as it can. High TSH when you are on iodine means that your body is making NISes. A NIS is a mechanism that gets iodine into the cell. High TSH nudges the body into making more NISes. When the NISes are back and iodine is still sufficient, TSH will drop, because the current flow of iodine into the cell is satisfactory.   [End]

”The body requires both iodine AND iodide.” you do know that the body can take elemental iodine from KI, right? here is the deal with lugols. the way it is reckoned is by the total iodine only content. so in 100ml of lugols 5% with 10grams of KI and 5 grams of I2 in it, this is not 15 grams of iodine. 1/4 of the KI molecule is potassium. so its 7.5 grams of iodine from iodide and 5 grams of elemental for a total of 12.5 grams of total iodine. the 6.25 mg of iodine in a drop of 5% lugols is 3.75mg of iodine from iodide and 2,5mg of elemental. or, another way, 5mg of iodide and ...

Vitamin C in its most basic form is ascorbate, what thats bound to will alter its makeup slightly. For example ascorbic acid is a bit tangy and acidic.

Personally high calcium levels are becoming more commonly accepted as an indicator of cardiovascular health risk and most people already get enough calcium.

iron supplementation connection. Canola, Castor etc. ”As soon as a polyunsaturated vegetable oil enters the body, it is exposed to temperatures high enough to cause its toxic decomposition, especially when combined with a continuous supply of oxygen and catalysts such as iron.” Even if you stop eating them, polyunsaturated fatty acids remain stored in tissue, only to be released during times of stress or fasting—including the middle of the night, when one is asleep. Although PUFAs damage every part of the body, the endocrine system, especially the thyroid, is particularly vulnerable. A ...

There are many reports of people who have cured themselves of cancer. AFAIK the only thing all these various cures have in common is that they are all raw. Note the success of the BARF diet for dogs.   [End]

I’m glad you’ve seen that iodine has helped you in other areas. I think you were led to do the right thing for yourself, to start the iodine. Now you keep moving forward to the next step. Even if iodine-caused detox is causing you to retain water and gain weight, iodine is not the problem, but showing you a weakness in your system. You fix that weakness, something else may become apparent. I’ve had many such stepping-stone experiences. Moving forward through discovery.   [End]

I have also found that cysts disappear faster with a combination internal iodine supps and painting. This also worked for my friend with breast cysts. Not sure about thyroid nodules, but its worth a try. I suspect its something to do with iodine promoting cell apoptosis, the greater the saturation of iodine, the more the cells respond and die at there natural rate, rather than persisting and causing a cyst, nodule or tumor. I’ve never heard of cretinism being reversed?? Do you have info on this Wombbie. spud   [End]

In February of this year, I read about iodine, and I began supplementing for an adjunct to treat/cure my Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I noticed it working, as I started sweating and excreting oils and toxins out my back. The little growths that had started coming back disappeared. I considered it a success and continued with it. It worked. About a month ago, I increased my Lugol’s from about 1 drop every other day to at least 4-6 every day. I had experienced chronic agitation after months of using it, and despite routine salt-loading, it did not cease. I finally began selenium, Vit. C, ...

According to Australian researcher-author Dr. Viera Scheibner, 90% of polio cases were eliminated from statistics by health authorities’ redefinition of the disease when the vaccine was introduced, while in reality the Salk vaccine was continuing to cause paralytic polio in several countries amidst an absence of epidemics caused by the wild virus. For example, cases of viral and aseptic meningitis, which have symptoms similar to polio, were routinely diagnosed and recorded as polio before the vaccine, but were distinguished and removed from polio statistics after the vaccine. http: ...

cs kills bacteria, mold, viruses, and fungi. once a person has properly made(electrolysis) ionic CS, there are only a couple fo things to keep in mind. CS only works if its wet. internally is not a problem, obvously, but if you want to use it on the skin, a misting bottle is necessary or soaking a bandage. i wanted to play with some powdered glycerine and mix CS in it instead of water to make a gel that would last a while under a bandage. i would make the more concentrated yellow or red stuff to do that. but i digress. for internal use, CS can be used in any orifice whatsoever. ...
