I had avoided it since I was so toxic from only one drop and worked on parasite's first which now are not in the picture.
However, I got a KIDNEY INFECTION a few weeks ago (white cells but no blood or protein). The antibiotics have not worked. I TOOK 2 KINDS... BAD ONES AT THAT. I ALREADY cannot tolerate the remainder of the antibiotic choices left so I figured... time to go to IODINE.
I AM ON DAY 3. 4-6 drops the first day and 7-8 yesterday and probably 8 - 10 today. Maybe it will level out at that I do not know. I am taking it every 4 or so hours when the pain comes and thus have ramped up each day. I assume it will eventually do the job. I will stick with this for 2 weeks.
My concerns now are if the rest of the supplements that are needed with Iodine are adequate. I WOULD LIKE TO STAY BALANCED AND GET THROUGH THIS. MY SYMPTOMS are tiredness and it seems I have a heaviness in the heart area..kind of like I cannot breathe a bit, or am short of breathe. I have never had heart or lung problems so I figure it is the iodine.
ANY FURTHER ADVICE IS APPRECIATED.
after fast and furious research I am ALSO TAKING;
1/4 to 1/2 tea himalayan salt daily 2 hours away from any iodine
1000-2000mg magnesium ascorbate anytime all day.
3 mg boron
anything missinG? or not enough of?

PS Oh and 1/4 tea. baking soda that I read our kidneys need daily to stay balanced as we age.
Helene,
hang in the there! I'm kinda a newbie here and I'm sure some of the more experienced posters will reply soon.
Having a kidney infection, I'm really not sure what to say. Sounds like the antibiotics aren't helping. Well, they never really do in the long run only cause other issues.
I would say lots and lots of water. Normally, lots of C along with salt pushes, but I'm not sure if the kidneys are stressed.
How many mgs iodine? 8-10 drops Lugol's, I believe equates to about 50mgs. Is this what you're taking?
God bless and hang in there. I'm sure others will be responding soon.
yes it should. circulation is a key factor in infections. cleansing the kidneys will increase circulation.
if it wre me and i was not having any luck with antibiotics i would assume it were some other pathogen. thats when i would be taking collidal silver in large doses and supporting that with peach leaves (i have a tincture i made from them), oregano oil and perhaps another strong antifungal - garlic.
if you wish to boost your immune system, look into colostrum.
I am unclear as to exactly how much Iodine you are taking, is that lugol's? 2%? 5%?
At any rate I would be very conservative in my iodine use. Iodine supplementation can put the kidneys through a helluva workout.
I had visible signs of bromide detox at 31mg(brown pee).
If you are committed to trying to beat this thing with iodine(and I don't know that anyone has done this, you are in uncharted waters here), get to a level that you are comfortable with and stay there. Space it out during the day and drink lots of water.
yep, should be 6.25 per drop. but since anyone already taking 50mg of Iodine can do 300 standing on their head, just take more till you get the desired result.
iodine is highly antibacterial and only mildly antifungal. i gave you my opinion in the other post.
i am a bad one t ask because i went for a whole year and got up to a gram a day without any of the other stuff, not even selenium. it was dr olree who convinced me to take selenium.
"the body starts making cancer when it runs out of selenium"
start training your instinct and trust yourself. more of any of those things wont hurt. the max on selenium is 400-800mcg and boron 9-15mg. if you eat too much salt you just pee it out or get the runs. same with C.
The standards we use at Marks Daily Apple:
===========================================
- - ½ tsp Natural Celtic Salt, Himalayan Pink Salt, Redmonds Salt or Hawaiin black salt
- - - If the Sea Salt is pure white, it is unacceptable (minerals have been stripped out )
- - 200 mcg selenium (L-selenomethionine preferred)
- - 400 mcg Magnesium - Glycinate preferred
- - 2,000mg Vitamin C - Ester-C preferred
- - ATP Cofactors by Optomox- contains 100mg B2 & 500mg B3 non-flushing in the correct ratio, replaces the older B2 & B3 - 1 tablet for 1st 50mg Iodine 1 tablet for each 50mg thereafter.
IN CASE OF PROBLEMS
=====================
* In addition to the daily ½ teaspoon of natural sea salt taken with vitamins every day, if severe detox symptoms occur, we should also do the Salt Loading Protocol “Salt Flush.”
½ tsp of Natural Sea Salt is dissolved in 1/2 cup warm water, followed immediately with 12-16 oz pure water. Repeat every 30-45 minutes until copious urination begins.
* Repeat each day for up to 3 days if required to clear detox symptoms
* or go back to a lower dose that was problem free and pulse dose.
Pulse Dosing to clear the kidneys
====================================
Pulse dosing of iodine has often helped our participants with detox symptoms: taking a 48 hour break from iodine supplementation as needed seems to enhance the kidneys' ability to excrete bromide and other toxins.
