I posted several weeks ago about not being able to sleep and got a response about filling 11- 8 oz water bottles with one drop of Iodine each week and drink a certain amount of the mixture each day.
I'm confused about filling 11 water bottles, why can't I just fill one 8 oz water bottle with one drop every week? How do I avoid the detox symptoms?
I'm now on 100mg and the detox is really, really heavy. There is so much bromid being dumped that I get frightening emotional issues like depression, anxiety, psychotic behaviour. Should I stay at this dosage ? I'm scared of hurting/destroying my thyroid.
Thanks atrovant for destroying my endocrine system.
Yes, I'm sure that I take 100 mg Iodine from lugols solution.
I do Salt pushes and take extra vitamin c but this helps only for an hour, then my irritability and all is coming back. And I think it is really the bromide which is doing this. My pee is dark-green-yellow no matter how much water I drink.
First I suspected some heavy metals stirred up by iodine but DMSA has no effect on my sympstoms.
Perhaps Im so loaded with bromide because of atrovent usage in the past.
I just being a little scared that I damage my thyroid with excess iodine.
your thyroid should be fine. be sure youre getting selenium and boron.
sounds like you have a lot of bromine, for sure. you can still take more iodine. up to 300mg is not too much with lugols. placing some magnets on your bottle may help as well.
For heavy metals (60 rounds of Cutler protocol done before):
DMSA occasionally when I think something is stirred up because I also take some MSM and NAC for Copper detox. I think I have here at least some problems because I don't tolerate any copper in supplements, I was a copper personality in the past, but still some copper problems today (copper dumping)
Sadly in germany there are no iodine-doctors and so I have no oppurtunity to do a 24 hour urine iodine loading test to evaluate the bromid levels. The doctors I tried wanted to give me psychotropicdrugs because they think I have a mental problem when they hear that I take such amount of iodine. But in fact iodine, heavy metal chelation and nutritional balancing are the only things which really helped me, not so the psycho drugs, bromid containing asthma inhalators and amalgam fillings they gave me in the past. School medicine poisened me a lot...
The first time I took Iodine I had the same exact symptoms, it's bromide, I only took 50 mg's though. I didn't know about the importance of selenium or salt loading when I did it. It took me about a week and a half to recover without doing anything except one salt load on the last day when I learned the importance of it.
I cleared up so much Bromide from the first time I took Iodine that I didn't have anything but good reactions the 2nd time I took 50 Mg's (1 month later). 1 week after my 2nd dose, I started 100 mg's, and now I'm taking 100mg's twice a day.
I'd suggest following Trapper's advice. He is damn smart when it comes to Iodine. I think the slow and steady way works, and it is a good way to see how polluted with halogens you are in the beginning. It is also like putting your foot into a pool for half an hour because you're not looking forward to the cold shock.
By taking a high amount like 50 or 100 mg's at the beginning, you're basically jumping in and getting the hardest part over with all at once instead of tipping your toe in getting a little bit cold and fearing for the worst everyday.
It sounds counterproductive, but high doses definitely work.
Thank you for your encouraging words.
I'm really sure now that my main issue is heavy bromide poisoning. When I first took iodine it was only 12,5 mg but the detox reaction was so heavy that I got serve depression, ataxia (walking like a drunken person), heavy anxiety and so on. But I guess it is no wonder that there is so much bromide in my system because I was on Atrovent for 10 years and consumed it 4-5 times daily. Uummmhh...
You can fill as many or as few bottles as you want. The point is to titrate VERY slowly over a several month period.
This procedure minimizes detox each day and each week so as not to be noticed, such that your liver & kidneys are not overloaded with more toxins that can be handled.
Some people do well with trapper's 100mg all at once. However I think that some people are so loaded with toxins that they can get REALLY sick with the resulting toxic overload.
We have had NO PROBLEMS reported from our go slow procedures, even from people who are EXTREMELY loaded with toxins.
Try Trappers 100mg procedure, and if you have too many problems, you can use our procedure.
- - - Week 1 drink 1 oz (~30ml) daily (about 380mcg iodone)
- - - Week 2 drink 2 oz (~60ml) daily (about 775mcg iodine)
- - - Week 3 drink 4 oz (~120ml) daily ( about 1.5mg iodine)
- - - Week 4 drink 6 oz (~180ml) daily ( about 2.3mg iodine)
- - - Week 5 drink 8 oz (~220ml) daily ( about 3.1 mg Iodine or about 1 drop per day),
- - - Week 6 drink 2 drops per day in a glass of water
- - - Week 7 drink 3 drops per day in a glass of water
- - - Week 8 drink 4 drops per day (about 12.5mg = to 1 iodoral)
* Next, Titrate up with iodoral 12.5mg iodine tablets available at Amazon.Com
- - - add 1/2 tablet each month to eventually reach 50mg daily-refer to Dr. Brownstein’s Book
- - - 50mg Daily is the dosage target recommended by Dr. Brownstein to overcome toxins
* If any detox symptoms appear do the salt flush and pulse dose. (all listed below)
what is needed is cleansing, flushing and fasting. the more of these things people do, the better the start of Iodine goes for them. trying to do this chemically with iodine in this manner actually cheats the person out of the other benefits of cleansing, flushing and fasting. iodine cant do everything.
i have yet to see higher doses fail to make a person feel better. the higher the dose, the shorter lived the detox is.
"I'm confused about filling 11 water bottles, why can't I just fill one 8 oz water bottle with one drop every week? How do I avoid the detox symptoms?"
- seems like you are complicating things. You can fill one bottle or a glass or whatever you like and find convenient.
I put my Iodine in my morning smoothie, or in my coffee etc.
The detox symptoms is not always possible to go around, but are lessened with vit C, magnesium, saltloading.
Taking one drop every week is not enough IMO; even my cats get more iodine than this !! much more :-)
Just make sure whatever you're mixing your Iodine in with doesn't contain Vitamin C, otherwise you'll end up with Iodide. I went 2 months mixing Iodine in with Orange Juice only to realize I was doing it wrong.
-No it is nothing wrong with it. As long as one get some Iodide too, which I do by painting. I have done my Iodine in my vit-c rich smoothie al along; still have had all benefits.
My kids always have had it in orange juice or similar, so have my cases etc.
It is recommended to take Lugols apart from vit C from some sources, even here at the Forum FAQ . I didnt know this before I had been on Iodine for a year, and I just continued to do it as it worked, and it is convenient.
It is neither right or wrong, just different ways of doing it. I prefer the simplest, as I have to make this fit in with a pretty busy scedule.
