I’m hearing a bunch of stuff about how Sodium Bicarbonate is a natural cancer cure. I was going to buy some online right now but I’ve been taking Sodium Ascorbate for a couple of weeks right now. I’m already taking the Sodium Ascorbate (Vitamin C) and wondering if I need to take the Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking soda) or if I’m good with just the vitamin C.   [End]

For most health things I come directly to this board. I love researching and spend months and months on it but sometimes it’s hard to come to a conclusion. Are there any other boards that for the most part are apart of the Iodine VWT brand? Some recent things I’m questioning: * Vegetarian or no? * Kefir or no? * Andreas Moritz... I think a liver flush would help but he’s said some ridiculous things recently and he seems very extreme, saying to do certain things on certain phases of the moon, to only eat fruit that grows in your natural habitat and he contradicts himself a lot. * ...

Thanks all. I finally got it removed and I’m recovering. Next stop: fixing my liver issues.   [End]

Thanks for the response. I am interested what you end up deciding as far as keeping them / removing them. TBH I mean they are swollen and in a bit of a pain but I really don’t MIND the pain if that makes sense. I know gargling with lugols and some essential oils every day will decimate any sort of bacterial infection but the main issue is I just don’t know whether they should stay or go. Obviously I searched this forum and curezone as a whole and the overwhelming opinion was: don’t remove them unless your really need to. However I really don’t see the situation improving too much.. ther ...

I have a wisdom tooth in my mouth responsible for at least like 15 months of bad breath, and possibly health deterioration. I’ve been taking iodine for maybe 4-6 months now? I’m up to taking 200mg a day (when I remember). This may or may not be relevant, just throwing it out there. The wisdom tooth in question is maybe a couple degrees away from growing completely horizontal in my mouth... I have very big teeth and smile so there’s not a lot of space in my mouth.. and this tooth in question is bad and the smell there is very rotten, so I’m having it extracted. Any thoughts? It’s swollen ...

Thank you my friend. I am going through this now. I have impacted wisdom teeth and I brush like 2 times a day ALONG with doing ACV, Iodine, oil pulling & essential oils good for gum / teeth health in my mouth, but there was still a breath issue. I thought the iodine regiment would fix it but it didn’t (actually made it a bit worse because of the increase of bromides being flushed out). I then assumed because I have back pain around my liver, that I was suffering from cirrhosis of the liver (I’m not sure if I’m not) but reading your post, I started playing with my teeth like a couple of ...

No I’m saying I mix both the powders in a salt shaker so that instead of having to dispense both separately, I can dispense them together. No water. Try it. Get a little container and combine sodium ascorbate and potassium chloride, and shake it up and leave it for a day or 2. It starts getting hard and turning yellow.   [End]

Well... that’s disappointing. I’m taking a lot of this stuff a day... I bought some salt shakers to make taking it easier, and thought ”hey. I’m taking 1/2 of each in a quart of water each time, might as well combine them”. It was fine at first but after about a day, the mixture was staring to turn like a darker color of urine (*starting at least), and was clumping up. I don’t need the explanation on why it happens per se but I’m sure someone has it. I just wanted to share, and get some experiences on what all of you are specifically doing to make your supplement dosing easier. For ...

I’m just a normal guy, you can look at my post history. So for a while now, I’ve been privy to the idea that simply buying fruits and veggies, even IF they are organic might not be enough. 99% of us don’t grown our own, so we don’t know what is happening to this produce. Many organic products are able to still be called organic after being sprayed with questionable product (one of the reasons you still have to wash your organic produce). Most of the ripe fruits and veggies we get after they are perfectly ripe and the more they sit after their peak of ripeness, they start to lose nutriti ...

Hey again guys. I have some kefir grains, and they seem to be pretty big. I initially thought this was the kefir growing, but apparently whey is stuck to the kefir or something? I’ve shaken the bottle fairly rigorously but it won’t come off. Any ideas? Am I supposed to separate this ”cheese” from the kefir before the next batch? Or do I leave it? If I’m supposed to separate it, how would I go about doing that?   [End]

Hey guys. So I ordered some Kefir Grains from Donna Schwenk, trying to get into Kefir for the first time. The only store near me is some health food store and most of the milk there is ultra pasteurized (which if I understand correctly is a big no no). I am able to get ahold of raw milk, so I’ll be doing that (it’s not exactly convenient as I can only get it twice a month, the delivery cost is pretty high and I don’t have that many great ways to store it). Wondering how Kefir from raw milk compares to grade a pasteurized milk. Anyway... recently I made a change to move away from cons ...

You guys have been here for around a decade and definitely had this discussion, spaced out between different threads and posts over the years. Through my research of this forum, there seems to be a soft consensus that Vitamin D is bad... it’s not a Vitamin, it’s a steroid, it suppresses your immune system which is why you feel better after taking it, just go get some sun, etc etc. I found some post from people who have been taking it ended up regretting it long term. Though I still keep seeing new people taking it. When I first started learning about this stuff, those docs were inval ...

I’ve been suffering from largely the same issues. I’ve been taking 100mg iodine for about 2 weeks now... I do believe it’s an improvement but I don’t think it’s the silver bullet I’ve been looking for as I still suffer from massive fatigue (it has in large part fixed my digestion though... it has been incredible in that regard) Me personally, I think my fatigue / brain fog issues will most likely be solved with Colloidal Silver and B12 injections. I’ve been a vegetarian a good majority of my life (though it can affect meat eaters) and b12 is a common deficiency in people that are fat ...

Jesus man. I didn’t eat anything today besides 2 pears. I’ve been on 100mg iodine for a week... I’m hitting my stride now that most of the side effects are non existent, and now I’m getting cocky so I upped it to 125mg. That I drank 2 quarts of IMAM (I don’t know the official recipe, I just put 1/2 teaspoon of himalayan, 1/2 of sodium ascorbate, 1/2 of potassium chloride, & distilled water). My body gave me an evacuation urge. As I pass I usually know immediately if it’s stones or not, and they were. That happens now and then because my diet has gotten better... but no this was diffe ...

Hmm well I think I finally get the subtext. What you’re saying is that the idea behind both an ionic foot bath and colloidal silver is the negative ion aspect of them. When you were presenting colloidal silver as an alternative, I didn’t 100% understand that. If I have that correct, that would have been helpful to know. I am still slightly confused as to what the bad part of the ionic bath is but to be honest I’m not exactly keen on buying equipment for foot bathing, so if colloidal silver addresses the same issues, then I’m fine with that. I do know that some people were doing both which ...

It’s not that I insist necessarily. Here’s the deal: I’ve been in the self healing ”game” for about 3 years now. And it’s like people have suggested: you take your own health into your own hands. A lot of the times I search with no purpose, just trying to find stuff that might be beneficial for me to try if the arguments for it are strong enough. I found your documents for iodine and it made sense and enough people explained it in a way that made sense and my own independent research revealed it made sense. I’m about a month in, I’m on 100mg iodine, all the co supplements... you get what I ...

Can you at least elaborate on why your stance hasn’t changed given my link? That’s sort of why I posted it, he addressed your specific concern... it’s not just that the water changes, as the opaqueness, smell and such are different when your feet are actually in. Newport, Trapper, and some other names I’ve come to know from Iodine forums and such all said it did have a positive effect on their bodies... are you saying that this is a placebo effect? Or are you saying it doesn’t work as effectively as your Colloidal Silver suggestion? Or something else?   [End]

The reason I started working out was I read something about exercising helping the detox and exercise being the only thing that gets the lymph moving... maybe that’s true but not for people with adrenal problems? I will hold off though. The dizziness happened at work. I took 12.5mg lugols at home, came into work and like an hour later took the 77.5mg iodoral. It was fine at first but then I started to get dizzy... so the working out wasn’t around that, it was something that I did on my first day of 100mg and when I had a bunch of energy.   [End]

I’m drinking massive massive amounts of water. I easily go through a gallon + a day and that’s ignoring fruits and such. I’ll try to drink more but yeah I’m consuming a lot of water, maybe a little bit less than a gallon and a half? The main thing though: you don’t think it’s worth going down the take vitamin b12 + iron (folate) path? That was my major thing. My adrenal glands are clearly sore when I touch on them... unless it’s normal for that to happen with iodine and iodine will fix that totally, it makes sense that the adrenal problem won’t get fixed until I started taking Vitamin b ...

I came to this forum 2 months ago because I’ve been suffering from fatigue (bed ridden for months, still in bed) and candida like symptoms. I’ve been on 100mg iodine (iodoral or lugols) for 3 days now. It took me around 3 weeks to take the co supplements long enough to take my first bit of iodine (it would have taken 2 but I was taking some weird selenium complex and I was pretty sure I had hashimoto symptoms so took 2 more weeks to dose up on Selenium). Then it took around 10 days to ramp up quickly to the 100mg mark. My fatigue definitely felt much much better on the day that I to ...

Hey Grizz, I’m more of a third party here just trying to soak up knowledge (recently started the iodine protocol) However the whole distilled vs Berkey angle doesn’t seem 100% solid. Me personally I just want to buy the best thing possible but from comments and research it doesn’t seem like it. 1. Berkey is much more convenient, and can filter gallons in hours vs 5 hours for 1 gallon (for the best selling distiller on Amazon, which not fast enough and doesn’t hold enough water for me.. and I’m not spending 600+ on a 4 gallon+ distiller) Also no having to descale it like you do a dist ...

Been taking the co-supplements for 2 weeks+. I started painting last week... just one drop of 2% Lugols. Definitely some eye bulging sensations. Then I got up to 5 drops painted around my navel. Definitely some feeling of confusion. Ingested it for the first time on Wednesday (one drop). Hit me almost immediately, had trouble swallowing, neck started to feel swollen, felt confused and light headed, couldn’t really talk. Decided to paint on Thursday to take a break. Tried another drop on Friday... same feeling as before except felt a little better (though my heart was beating very ...

Yeah I want more stomach acid. The part about the dosage that’s tricky is also that I have adrenal fatigue symptoms (a lot of people with iodine deficiencies do) and we are also advised to supplement with NaCI (sodium chloride, aka salt, ideally himalayan or something), and ideally there is supposed to be some sort of ratio of NaCI/K (salt to potassium). I think Trapper ended up saying something like ”My dosage switches, my body now tells me which one I should have, your body speaks and you can listen and that can be trained” or something like that which I’m inclined to agree with but n ...

Ok. So Vitamin D is bad (shuts off your immune system which is why you feel better), Magnesium Chloride is bad (Magnesium Malate is better for some reason, can’t understand why). I can’t really drink milk or coffee (caffeine is an irritant to me and even raw milk messes me up because I’m either casein or lactose intolerant, even when adding lactase drops). All my other questions still remain... though through my research it seems like a lot of these things have a great amount of cross over. SSKI has a bit of potassium, a LOT more iodine. Next big thing is figuring out what this NaCi/K r ...

I’m brand new to the forum and iodine in general however I’ve read almost every resource so maybe I can contribute? First: take the iodine in the morning especially when starting out... it will cause insomnia if you don’t. I took KELP a week ago just to start and I stayed up till 5am. The stimulated feeling is probably the jittery feeling, but you feel it in a calmer sort of way. 2,000 mgs Vitamin C 200 – 400 mgs Magnesium 1/2 tsp Celtic Salt The above should help, but you need to make sure you are taking the proper forms. For instance, unrefined sea salt (that is white) doe ...
