Re: Please check if this plan is OK

Hey there,

I'm not one of the old-timers, but to my eye it looks like you've done as good a job as I've seen pulling together the basics of the protocol. In fact, I think you're post should be R'd and maybe even w/ some slight edits excerpted for the FAQs.

My feedback:

" Lugol's Iodine (5% concentration)
- 50mg (8 full horizontal drops), note : will go to 100mg after 2 weeks"

Actually, you want VERTICAL, not horizontal drops, to get 50 mg from 8 drops.

It's under DOSAGE in the FAQs. A horizontal drop = 12.5 mg; a vertical drop = 6.25.

"- standard dose of multi-vitamins and minerals"

For me, personally, I don't like taking multis. I guess it would be okay if it were high enough quality, and didn't include stuff I didn't want to ingest, or a form of something I don't want to ingest.


"- seaweed for trace minerals"

I personally avoid seaweed (except occasionally w/ a sushi meal) because of concerns about heavy metal contamination.



"TO AVOID
- goitrogens : soy products"

V's had some things to say about goitrogens that I have personally paid close attention to. Soy, otoh, I agree with -- best to avoid. But stuff like broccoli & cabbage -- I'm w/ V, our bodies can sort it out as long as we're also getting enough iodine.


"Some questions about this plan :

Q1: All other supplements mentioned above can be taken together at the same time, EXCEPT Lugol's (oxidant). Is this correct?"

That's my understanding, although I tend to break things up myself, rather than take them all at once.


"Q2: Are there other ways to detox besides Salt-loading? My wife couldn't handle excess water well, frequent urination at night."

Salt loading is one specific protocol that is indicated for bromide detox in particular. The coffee enemas will detox. Heck, juicing will detox. She should drink plenty of (clean -- non fluoridated) water.

Would a chamberpot help with the night urination? Then she wouldn't have to travel so far from bed and could settle back to sleep more quickly after, maybe?


"Q3: Did I miss anything important?"

Use the search function -- the one that lets you search this forum specifically -- to look up specific symptoms, if she experiences any.

If you haven't bumped into this, some people pulse, especially at first. Search on pulse dosing if you want to read about that.


"Q4: Where to buy Lugol's 5% (500ml or more) online?"

That's covered in the FAQs. Many of us use J Crows.
