Just a quick update. I have discontinued Lugols because of inconsistency on my part. I just couldnt do it. For nearly a week I’ve been below the 100 mg it seems to control my hyperthyroid and I’m not even sure by how much. As of 2 days ago I’m back on the Iodoral, 125 mg as a loading dose. I will skip this weeks test since the results will undoubtedly make my MD question what I’m doing. Instead I will test in another 2 weeks. In the meanwhile, I feel irritable, dizzy, brain fog and have been having occasional palpitations for the last few weeks thats I’ve been dabbling around w/ the Lugols ...

OK, I’m back with more info from yesterdays blood work. I get tested bi-weekly and can post results each time, as long as this is useful . About a week ago, I ran out of Iodoral and relied just on Lugols. TSH fell approx 50% of what it was on the Iodoral. I’ve been feeling weak, sleepy and easily stressed. But because it was a premenstrual week , I did expect a small dip- just not this great. My hypothesis is Lugols is effective but only when used properly. I’ve taken it in irregular doses- random #’s of drops, in different liquids or straight oral or topically- all depending on h ...

Hello! My I make a small suggestion? Stay waway from the carbon panels- they don’t do well. i sat in one recently and it didnt feel right nor like a quality set up. Panels were thinly lined and didnt get really hot. If you insist though, costco is selling some off for about a thousand. Check soon-its a seasonal item for them. Any way my suggestion is get a used Healthmate. Try craigslist. They are the oldest manufacturer in America, use genuine ceramic emitter tubes and get really hot! I just got one a few weeks ago, a 1985 2 seat, 4 heater model that heats up in 5 minutes up to 190, w ...

Thanks guys for the responses- thought it would be polite to follow up even though its been awhile. Due to the overwhelmingly negative replys i decided not to do this at all. I focused instead on some hormonal issues and general detox with fir sauna. I’m hopeful that a few more months of the sauna will reduce my heavy metal loads significantly and then I’ll resome humaworm. Hopefully I’ll be done detoxing by Feb 2010. Thanks again!   [End]

Hello Wombat and thank you for your reply. What great links! Especially the first. I got fed up w/ my endo describing what the author calls type 2 hypo (thyroid resistence) but refusing to diagnosis me as such because my blood work didnt match. This was my first problem w/ the medical approach- my symptoms are all HYPO but my labs are opposite and no could adequately explain why. I finally relented though and accepted the hyper label then began researching the HYPO alternatives here. We ruled out automimmune problems with tests so I decided this isnt me but rather either something i ...

Hi guys, I have been a lurker gathering info on iodine for hyperthyroidism for a while now. I just got back results this morning proving hyper can be treated this way. I’ve been my own test subject for almost 5 months now, with blood work to confirm. I first did tapazole 10 mg tid (high dose)to bring my thyroid under control. This did work well and I felt great. Certainly better than untreated! Then I stopped the tapazole for a few days and the hyperthyroid returned. Repeated a course with tap. 30 mg plus lugols for moderate control, felt just ok. Then dropped lugols, added ...

just a quick response - i agree with most of what you say in both messages. i have some brain fog setting in so perhaps I’ll take apart these thoughts later. However have you considered iodine enemeas daily or every other day to help with the rxns? They seem to help lme alot but I have flukes rather than tapeworms...at least from what i’ve seen. thnaks for the response Jen   [End]

Thank you Fledgling for your encouragement and kind words. I will try to check out ”think about it” asap. I’m with you on circumsion- its brutal. I hated watching them in school....the instruments alone look like torture devices. thank you for the link to the flaxseed and mercury- very interesting. I’m one to go through references and read studies and there were quite a few so I’ll be at it a while. And yes, I’ll stay open to my heart in this profession. Its tough sometimes because mans inhumanity is esp evident in the inner city where i’m at but by the same token compassi ...

Sunshine, thank you such a well thought out reply! I’ve been up to alot of research and feel a clearer. I’m just using just humaworm right now but when I did both chelation and hw, the symptoms were tough but manageable. I was concerned more for liver health rather than the hx reactions. I’m at home for the month so this is the best time to put up w/ these type of rxns. I used ARL labs so the counting rules dont apply but theres 0 mercury, which I’ll interpret as hidden by other imbalances something Cutlers seems to say in his Hair Test Interpretation. Thank you for the correction on the ...

Thank you- Ive decided to slow down the routine and do one at a time. I have used your product once before and recommended it to dozens- its 100% effective and the best on the market. Today is the first day of my heavy metal detoxing so I ’ll be back on HW in July then!   [End]

Hello Fledgling. I love your name and the way you express yourself. Thank you for the advice. The muscle weakness is one of the reasons why I suspect mercury so I can relate to what youre saying, though its not so severe I cant get out of the tub (at least not yet!). As I understand it, Cutler advices using chemicals to pull mercury, not food supplements, due to the need for frequent dosing . The dose schedule keeps the mercury from resettling. Please look into the Cutler CZ forum and book for further info on this- there’re very good! I’m a new RN and watching my elderly patients, its ...

Thank you for the tidbit about not mixing probiotics and humaworm. And I’m not about to die either so I guess I’ll slow down...go in stages. Jen   [End]

Hello everyone. I am a long time reader of Curezone but first time posting. I have to say these forums have given me way more guidance than any MD has, so thank you. I am hoping to get some support and guidance re chelating for lead which was picked up by hair analysis along with cadmium. I have read the Cutler book and have Dmsa, Edta and ALA, will dose every 4 hours. Even though mercury didnt show up I suspect its there and I believe the book states mercury can hide. So here are my questions. 1.Can I dose with DMSA and EDTA at the same time? 2. Can I do Humaworm (parasite flush)along w ...

Thank you Newport- I read the link and if I understand DMSA is better for lead and does mercury as well?   [End]
