Questions about my budding iodine protocol
Hi,
I've one some searches on potassium iodide, which is what I found at a naturopath pharmacy, and have a few more questions.
Brief background:
Have had a low body temp for years, 95-96.8 usually, and can never get a straight answer from health care prac. when I have my thyroid checked, which leads me to think I am low normal or borderline. Never really cold, even when living in the northeast. I seemed to have a more reptilian response to cold weather.
Started out slowly by buying some colorless
Iodine and painting. Felt a whoosh of energy the first few times, now not so much. Do sleep better, though, when I paint at night. Was worried about bad dreams that I read about here but my dreams were vivid but pleasant. Peter Max/Sgt. Pepper type dreams.
Added the potassium
Iodide (225mcgs). The first time I felt my thyroid swelling a little. Uncomfortable feeling.
Found if I took it at night it gave me insomnia.
So, question - Should I be taking more of the PI during the day? Or chucking it and getting the lugol's?
I've also added selenium and magnesium to my arsenal of supplements.
Thanks for any advice.
Oh, here is a funny bit I found that I wish I had memorized for the times I give blood and the tech goes, "whaa?" when they take my temp:
"My temp is 96.8. I'm not hypothyroid, septic, diabetic, drunk, drugged, in shock, or out in the cold."
