bromide dominance
detox symptoms
general iodine info
salt loading
companion nutrients that should definitely be taken along with Iodine
Iodine Loading test
and more
I haven 't fully digested this site
but a lot of good info
this bromide thing is so important
because it can warrant taking Iodine at doses that seem like a lot
and because if people start having detox symptoms they need to be really clear they are probably bromide detox symptoms not Iodine toxicity symptoms
Dr Brownstein clips talking about Iodine
he is clear and easy to understand
I met him two years ago speaking at the boulder functional medicine group
he has a great book on Iodine and tons of personal experience in his practice
The safe and effective implementation of orthoiodosupplementation in medical practice
by Guy E. Abraham, M.D.
Great article, he has an atittude but I think it is totally justified, IMHO.
Shares some of the history around how Iodine became a bad guy.
Dr. Abraham is the mentor for both Dr. Brownstein and Dr. Flechas. These three are often called the "Iodine Docs" because they are actively researching and promoting the use of Iodine in medicine.
this FAQ's area has some good info, some is awesome, some needs to be picked through
there is also an Iodine supplementation support forum http://curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=815
Wombat is one of the moderators
she had serious FBD and healed herself with Iodine as a primary agent
curezone can be a great place for people having detox symptoms to ask questions to people who have been around the block
ie. I found out that runny nose, skin breakouts, itching, headaches, anxiety and getting really cold at times are all common detox symptoms that will go away in time while taking Iodine.
googling David Brownstein or Jorge Flechas or Guy Abraham and the word Iodine can be useful sometimes too
the following is a response Wombat made to me when i asked her for good Iodine info:
<<
As far as convincing someone of the necessity of Iodine supplementation, this Dr. Fleschas audio has convinced many, and brought a few to tears: http://curezone.com/ig/i.asp?i=21726
& as far as convincing someone of the efficacy of iodine supplementation, this video shows that Iodine supplementation, even after deprivation can have a positive influence on intellectual development... cretinism reversed in the next generation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV4X5cXaf7Y
So that should give something to chew on for awhile
Let me know what you think of all of this, if you have more questions I am happy to talk
I have had several clients have some really cool changes: more energy, warmer, breasts softening, uterine fibroids shrinking, menstrual symptoms lessening and more. One of my clients starting sweating for the first time in her life. I shouldn't have been surprised, but the sweat glands need iodine to work properly. Even my girlfriends breasts softened after just 2 months on Iodine and her menstrual symptoms have lessened.
I of course have had full fledged detox symptoms like anxiety, metallic taste in mouth and more which have often gone away with a simple salt push: 1/4 -1/2tsp Sea Salt in 12-16 oz water.
Most people don't have any detox symptoms or they are pretty mild, but some percentage of people have some moderately to very strong detox symptoms so it can be important to have some familiarity with what these symptoms are and how to ameliorate them.
protocol:
titrate dosage up from 6.25mg or Lugol's or Iodoral to 50mg if the detox isn't kicking your butt too bad.
At some point you might want to try 100mg
Dr. Flechas puts people with active cancer at 200mg
companion supplements:
400-600mg Magnesium Citrate or Malate
200-400mcg selenium in the form selenomethionine
B-complex
3 or more grams Vitamin C
do one salt push a day or more as needed to reduce detox symptoms
There has been some time since this post; so I would like to add that I dont recommend Mule Team for internal use, I would get hold of a cosmetical grade / 100 % pure borax.
(the mule is like 98-99 %) ??
I am continuing to update this, if there are more links anyone thinks are stand-outs or have helped make a difference in opening someone to Iodine please share!!!!
I should add I suppose that I have been taking Iodine on my skin and then orally for about 9 days. I am a 63yo serious runner (50k plus per week) and went to an alternative medicine doctor who has done some bloodwork, with some further tests pending, for what might be described as CFS or adrenal exhaustion.
This could have come about by serious, recurrent asthmatic/bronchial coughing and infection.
I did commence some serious vitamin etc taking some weeks ago, but anyway, the first round of bloodtests indicated nothing more than a low free testosterone level.
I started taking testosterone supplementation followed about six days later, on the Thursday, by starting on d-ribose (after reading tietalbaum http://www.endfatigue.com)
and iodine (suggested by the doctor).
Not sure if it was just coincidence but that weekend 09/24-25/2011 my health literally just snapped into positive territory.
I ran a Saturday 10k in my best for six years. Sunday was a good run too as I recovered well and Wednesday, the next effort run was 5 mins faster than a typical Wednesday 10k.
As I said it could be coincidence but d-ribose and iodine are continuing to be part of my supplements.
And thanks for the links couger!!!
