Thank you for sharing Lycurgus.
I think it is very important that everybody feels okay to share their experiences on the forum. It should be possible to share experiences of taking large amounts of iodine/iodide, without fearing that other forum members will jump at it and try to scold the person for being foolish or careless.
It is for most if not all of us a new thing and thus in order to learn and gather more personal testimonies from which to evaluate it, it is important to have both good and bad experiences posted, from high and low dose usage.
The emotional component people have been talking about is interesting. A couple of weeks ago I experienced another flashback and my brain mostly went offline. I couldn't remember what day it was or what time I left for work, something that has happened before. The good thing is I did not completely check out with missing time. I seemed to be triggered by the smell of a real Christmas tree, the first in 30 years, plus anticipating spending Christmas with my sister for the first time in 40 years. I've been experiencing clusters of memories associated with this particular flashback. I've started seeing my EMDR therapist again. So maybe the iodine is helping me access more buried traumatic memories. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I've not had any real negative physical symptoms, just better energy and clarity, better sleep and chronic pains lessening although when I cut back I've had some twinges in my hands which is strange as I've never been prone to that arthritic kind of pain there, it's been in my right hip for the past year.
So thank you for talking about the emotional side of this protocol. In my case I think perhaps the iodine is helping increase my will and stamina to strengthen me enough to go deeper. I've been feeling rage that has been stuffed for 50 years, but in a way that is cathartic. I'm experimenting with taking 10 drops of the 2% Lugol's at the moment. The thiamine info is interesting. I take Thorne basic B, which has 110 mg of B1. I started taking it for the methyl form of B's over a year ago. Their supplements are so clean of crapola. I've been taking their magnesium citrate/malate for years. It's amazing how different everyone's experience is and thank you again, everyone for sharing!

Hi all. I started with 5% Lugols a little over 3 weeks ago with salt water before breakfast with initial 2 drops a day after breakfast and more salt water later in the day with 100 mcg selenium and Vitamin C. After muscle testing this weekend I am now taking 6 drops (about 37 mg.) since that is what the testing indicated I should be taking at this time.
I also felt I should be taking about that much even before testing because I worked for several years directly with mercury at a chemical plant in the late 70s and early 80s before it was removed from the workplace as it was part of my job to do so. I was also exposed to many other chemicals over the years there and the normal load of junk we are all exposed to such as Bromine and Fluorides, etc. I think I do not have any infection problem to abate but mostly need to get rid of these contaminants.
The only side effect I had was that in the first few days I had a very slight and very occasional headache which disappeared after that. No other problems at all that I could detect including any detox symptoms. No doubt it helped that I started off slowly.
I have had an irregular pulse problem for a few years now and I have discovered from the research presented on the Sea Salt that it is of great help with this problem and regularizes the heart beat. Since the first few days my pulse has now become regular and the problem seems to have totally disappeared. So much for the doctor's admonition to totally avoid salt! Um, I'm not going to tell my doctors because I don't want them to be having nightmares!
This is the first supplement regimen of any kind I have ever taken which has shown such dramatic improvement in how I feel in such a short time. It is difficult to say exactly 'how' I feel better as the effects are several and perhaps not even very evident by themselves, but when taken as a whole I have more energy, alertness and just feel so much better.
I am so grateful to all of you who have done so much research and experimentation on yourselves (and the C's of course) and shared all this information which has helped so many of us.

Hello.
Sorry for just replying about what i have, but i wanted to keep you and the others informed about the results of my blood test. I haven't seen the doctor yet, i'll call tomorrow. A lot of leukocytes, etc, and the test for infectious mononucleosis was positive!
Peace.
I'd like to know more about this muscle testing many of you guys are doing. Some books were mentioned in threads linked to from this thread, and I looked those up. But I'm not sure where I should start reading, since many new books have emerged on the subject. The name Jane Thurnell-Read was mentioned in an old thread, would her book(s) be a good start?
I'm gonna be a bit of a 'doubting Thomas' here, but considering the "non-scientific nature" of this muscle testing, how do you know you can trust the information you gain by this procedure?

It did sounded like mononucleosis from what you described. So it was a reactivation of a latent virus or a newly acquired infection. Your iodine dose was not high enough to kill the virus OR it could have been much worse.
We know from the vitamin C literature that mononucleosis requires the highest dose of vitamin C for some period of time. If anything, I would do titrating doses of vitamin C because it is well documented that it works in mononucleosis.
Let us know how it goes and if a specific virus was positive. Speedy recovery!

Hi Mac,
I find the ones from Trader Joe's to be excellent. Both in quality & price. The product is cold-pressed and unrefined. About $6 for a 16 fl oz jar. And because it is priced so low, some stores have a two jar purchase limit.
I use this stuff everyday, convinced of its memory enhancing quality. (See Dr. Mary Newport.) I also have lots of rosemary in my study for the same purpose.
FWIW.

i checked for this book but they say that it is not available for Kindle. Is that so?
Just to say also that we started at home one drop by day of Lugol, this week the rest of minerals will be available to take. I did not finish this extraordinary long thread. But I wanted to start and I think start with one drop is ok. We were taking since one month Potassium Iode. I wanted to thank eveybody for all the information and insights you are giving, your help, your dedication in this subject. Thank you so much. This subject of Iodine is really like a gift. And evidently when you ask for iodine anywhere, specially to nature stores where they "have all the answers for a good health", nobody, absolutely nobody knows about iodine and they don't have it. And they look at you with a blank eye.
Thank you!

I have had the muscle testing done on me years ago by a kinesiologist. He used it for chiropractic corrections and to help with other problems I was having and how to correct them with supplements, or whatever was needed.
I've told on the forum before how my ankles were very weak. And this was when I was much younger. He tested me and found that I was very, very low in potassium. He checked how much I needed per day and sold me the potassium supplements. After taking the supplements, my ankles became stronger and I have not had any problems with my ankles since.
I have also demonstrated to others where I worked at how our bodies react to poisonous (to our bodies) substances with the muscle testing. I am quite sure that it really works.
However, I do not think that the self-testing works. I looked into it just recently, tried it and was very disappointed with it. It just plain did not work.
I have no books, nor links, to suggest, but just wanted you to know of my experience with it.

Mononucleosis is caused by a virus and iodine is an anti-viral. Perhaps your dose was good enough for detox purposes, but not for fighting viruses.
Here is more information on titrating doses of vitamin C:
http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,13208.0.html
A couple of summaries here:
_http://www.doctoryourself.com/titration.html
_http://orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1981/pdf/1981-v10n02-p125.pdf
People who are sick with mononucleosis tolerate a lot of vitamin C before they reach bowel tolerance. It is a very debilitating disease.
