had a really bad experience last night


i have been taking Iodine for on and off for about a month now, 4 drops is the most i have taken in one day along with some painting which i don't really count in my drops because i don't feel that painting affects us the same way as internal supplementation. i don't usually get the typical detox everyone else is experiencing (frontal lobe headaches, brown pee, etc) but i do get weird sensations and reactions immediately after i take the iodine. i will get sensations thru my intestines and on the right side of my body (where my health issues reside), and i can also feel it in my liver a lot.

i seriously overdid it the day before yesterday because i felt absolutely FANTASTIC and invincible and had more energy than i knew what to do with. i went to the gym and lifted tons of weights and felt on top of the world. i was up til one in the morning cleaning and making jewelry and doing all sorts of other stuff. then i exercised again on my trampoline yesterday morning and went to work still feeling fantastic. and then i tried taking my first dose of Iodine (1 drop in about 12 oz of water) and i couldn't get it down without major symptoms flaring up. i only drank about half the glass over a period of a few hrs but i started feeling so lousy that i couldn't get it all down. i got a mild frontal lobe headache and MAJOR brainfog. i did a salt load at work before i left and then another a half hr later when i got home. NO RELIEF with either salt load.

so then i ate something and i crashed out on my couch for a couple of hrs. when i woke up i was feeling REALLY funny. there was burning in my stomach (which i have had in the past and took a few days off of the Iodine til it subsided), i could feel all sorts of pressure and pounding in my liver, i started getting very strange head rushes and sensations and sort of a swooshing feeling thru my sinuses and throat, i started feeling short of breath and found it hard to breath. i felt like i might faint. my heart started racing. i went into panic mode but did not have a full blown panic attack. i managed to remain calm but did almost check myself into the emergency room. it was VERY scary. i managed to just calm down and spent the night at my mom's house with her because i didn't want to be alone in case anything bad did happen.

i am SERIOUSLY bummed about this. i am still working out the details of how all this happened. i have not been following the C, selenium, magnesium protocol because i seem to feel worse when i do add those in. actually, come to think of it, i think i took c and selenium yesterday which may have been what made me feel worse than usual. plus i don't seem to be having any problems absorbing iodine in my opinion. i can feel it working all thru my body instantaneously.

i have also had many positive things going on from iodine so i don't want to stop supplementation all together. here are the good things happening...

my digestion and food sensitivities have SERIOUSLY improved. i am having two to three bowel movements a day...i used to have maybe two bm a week! i am even taking schulze's IF 2 (bowel cleanser) which can really back you up, but i am still going to the bathroom without problems. my fingernails are getting harder and longer. i can feel my hormones starting to work again. i have felt like an asexual being for the past year (along with a lack of menstruation for a year straight as well). i think i may even be ovulating right now and i expect a period soon!!! my breasts are swelling like i am going to have a period, and i have had lots of clear vaginal discharge...something i haven't had in AGES. i have tons of energy all the time. my joints are stopping cracking FINALLY. they have been popping and cracking so loud and hard for two years!! i am sleeping much better. i don't wake up in the middle of the night anymore. i was able to lift heavier weights at the gym and this was the first time i went to the gym in about 6 weeks! i felt like the bionic woman while i was there. i still have dry skin all over the place, especially my feet, but sometimes i think it is getting better. this may just be my imagination though. :)

so as you can see, i am improving because of the iodine. but what happened the other night was very scary. i am going to take a week off the iodine and i guess try and start with a drop every other day and see how i do. it is helping my digestion so much, but almost too much. i got this burning in my stomach about a week or so ago so i took a few days off the iodine and it went away. i started back up spreading the dose throughout the day instead of taking all at once to see if this would work, and it did for a few days. but now i am back to getting the burning. this goes to show dosing is so INDIVIDUAL and unique to each person. i don't think i will ever need more than a drop or two of iodine a day to get it in my system. i could be wrong, but so far it does not seem like i need much to get both good and bad reactions.

any suggestions, advice or thoughts on all of this?

i think it is important to mention i have been doing a bunch of other therapies and i may be overdoing it. i oil pull every morning, i am bowel cleansing on and off, i did my first two Liver Flushes a few weeks ago (two weeks in between both), i did three juice fasts prior to iodine supplementation, i eat slippery elm gruel almost everyday, i was doing hydrotherapy (alternating hot/cold showers every morning) but i have been slacking there, i started exercising again, and i sometimes take cayenne tincture for digestion but i have been slacking there lately tool. i think i have been overdoing it. i am also eating more foods than i have eaten in two years! i was down to eating five or so foods because i have been suffering from food sensitivities for two years (after taking Antibiotics for a year and a half). so all the foods i have been able to incorporate back into my diet are very new and my body has been going thru so many changes that maybe all of this is just too much to handle at once.

i am exhausted now and gotta hit the sack. sorry this message is so disorganized but i am falling asleep while i am writing this and i didn't have time to really think things thru. any messages, thoughts and encouragement would be very much appreciated.

UNY!! I need you!!! :)
