there was something the doctor called "mild emphysema" in my right lung, a swollen gland in my neck, my knee joints ached, I was having frequent severe tachycardia, and I could feel something moving around in my head when Newport told me to check out the iodine support forum
i had been eating a macrobiotic diet for years and was getting a lot of iodine already, but i obviously needed a lot more than what i was getting through food
the iodine cleared up the tachycardia immediately, my knees got better, the movement in my head diminished, i never filled the prescription for my lung
after much progress, but still coughing, i switched to Trapper's sski
the swollen lymph gland in my neck softened significantly
that pesky little cough got much better and less frequent
i also got a bad headache that moves from one side to the other like a slow wave, my blood pressure went all over the map, the tachycardia came back and progressed to strong palpitations, instead of the little quivery sensation that makes me dizzy
it takes a long time to detox
i found out about iodine 7 years ago
guess it is time to increase my Vit C and selenium and see if i can get rid of this headache without lowering the dose of sski-
the cough is telling me that i need a dose right now, but i am afraid the top of my head will feel like it is going to explode if i take some
i have been taking 10-12 drops 3-5 times daily
(usually only 3 because i get a really bad headache and my blood pressure,
which is normally around 105/67 goes up to 140/90 if i take 5 doses per day)
i become afraid that i will have a heart attack or a stroke, so i lower the dose
then i start coughing and the gland in my neck swells again...
two forward and one back for years
it is a long journey
