Iodoral Experiment
5-26-05 to ?
May 26, 2005 I've been saying I was going to start taking more Iodoral and increase every 3rd day or so, to see what happens. Dr. Abraham says there is almost no danger of overdosing, and of course I will cut back if I start to be jumpy, sweaty, irritable, too wakeful, nervous, or whatever. So I took 2 this morning. I've been taking 3 in the morning, but I plan to take 2 tonight as well for a total of 4.
Oh, by the way... I haven't weighed myself in about 6 months. It appears I've lost 10 lbs since starting on Iodoral. I think it's because I have more energy and I feel like moving, so I exercise a little more. This experiment is partly to see if revving up iodine intake will take off more weight while not sacrificing muscle or making me cranky.
May 27, 2005
1:10 AM Took 2 tablets at dinner, which was at 7 or so. I am wide awake! Tomorrow -- er -- today I will take the second 2 tablets at midday.
5:30 AM can't sleep any more. Got up to do stuff that I didn't do yesterday.
8 AM Seeds of Rebellion and oatmeal for breakfast with supplements.
3 PM difficult day. Said, not very tactfully, some stuff on my mind. Had to apologize.
Sleepy. (no wonder) Took second 2 tabs and fell asleep at computer. Feeling yoyotic (as in, like a yo-yo). Maybe just normalizing the effects of the powerful Matrix Energetics seminar last weekend,
my first. Getting things done though. Energetic and doing well.
It strikes me that even if I get signals that my daily iodine intake is too much, I know that I still do not have the reserves yet, because if I skip a day I really feel it.
6-06-05 The experiment is a flop. When I tried to get into taking 4 Iodoral a day, I got too energetic and started running around like a chicken with my head off, and also snapped at hubby a couple of time, which is NOT in my program called "Happy Marriage". It didn't help that I was engaging my normal one-day fight with a traveling virus, or that my hubby was sick at the same time. Also, I would forget to take the second two until around 7 pm, when I knew it would keep me up at night, but having only taken two in the morning, which I know isn't enough, then the next day I'd drag a little. I have concluded that 3 in the morning is the right dose for me for now.
If anyone besides that one man mentioned on the net has had success with Iodoral and diabetes, please email me about it. My hubby is fighting that and I would like to share your experience with him.
1-7-07 Based on some comments
by Dr. Abraham, I've decided to go back to 50 mg a day (which equals 4 tablets
of the 12.5 mg dosage. Just ordered my first case of 50 mg tablets and will try
them. Dr. Abraham said that "too energetic" feeling is aka NORMALIZING
METABOLISM. We've all been walking around in low metabolism and we don't have a clue what normal is!!
Then when
normal shows up we freak out!! So I am
going to put up with that feeling and see if it incorporates, and also to see if
my numbers increase on the Urine Iodine test. The first time I did it, after
about 20 months on 3 Iodoral a day, I excreted only 44% of the loading dose!!
(It's supposed to be >90%) Get the Urine Iodine test from Dr. Flechas at
his excellent
site. Along
with your test comes a phone consultation with Dr. Flechas, who was one of the
formulators of Iodoral.
I'm also taking Standard
Process Drenatrophin, Desiccated Adrenal, and Thytrophin, to support BOTH
adrenals and thyroid, as I am convinced they are linked, for me at least. No, I
can't get you the Standard Process products, but they are the best in my
opinion. Your nutritionally oriented Chiropractor or Naturopath should be able
to get them for you. Visit Standard
Process for a referral to your local source. They do not
sell to the public but only through professionals.
Update May 23, 2008
Since the death of my beloved husband last
November, it has been a rough 6 months. I will spare you the details. I am back
on 4 Iodoral a day, total 50 mg, and trying to figure out what normal is. I'm so
grateful for the knowledge of nutrition and health, so that I don't fall for any
suggestions by well-meaning friends that I may suffer from a valium deficiency!!
November 4, 2008 Some
remarks about Fibromyalgia in Dr.
Brownstein's Iodine book made me decide to try taking 100 mg/day of Iodoral,
50 mg AM and 50 mg mid-afternoon. Of course I did not take my own advice about
working up slowly and immediately doubled what I was taking on November 1st. I
threw myself into a mild detox and today I feel foggy and have a slight
headache. Bah!! But the muscle pain is less, so good. I continue. I am also
using about 10 other supplements.
