After reading those things online I got worried since I seem to be having kidney trouble and can’t figure out what’s going on. I’m just wondering if maybe my kidneys aren’t detoxing the way they should and getting filled with bromides. I pulse dose and take all my supplements. I’ve salt loaded and never had any problems until the past few months. My thyroid is in the toilet despite all the iodine and everything I’ve done it’s just gotten worse. I’m really discouraged.   [End]

I didn’t know C could mess with the kidneys. I’m having a horrible time seems with my kidneys the past couple weeks. Wonder if this could have anything to do with it. I follow Dr. B’s program but do take a lot of C to help with detox. I’ve been on 100 mg iodine for awhile, but really struggling and having a horrible time with my thyroid still no matter what I’ve tried. I’ve never heard C causing problems with the kidneys.   [End]

I have chest tightness and pressure all the time also. I have increased my magnesium but so far that hasn’t helped the pressure. I did increase my iodine to 100 mg but haven’t tolerated that well so far either. I am afraid being so hypoT is hurting my heart as I’ve read it can cause all kinds of heart issues. The chest tightness is pretty scarey, but I know it’s not the iodine for me but hypoT.   [End]

You are very lucky to get them out. No one believes mine are hurting me and wants to spend our money on something that will really help. Oh and to take my my synthroid/cytomel and get well. That’s what I’m dealing with every day. You are very blessed to get them out!! Good luck in your healing journey.   [End]

One other thing I wanted to ask, my temps actually seem to be a bit high in the morning and sometimes throughout the day lately even though I’m still cold inside and have cold hands and feet. Any ideas? I have been trying to add cayenne to my daily supplements, but seems like I would be warmer with that all over, not just my temps.   [End]

Yes, I’m taking selenium. There is 200 mcg in my multi and I’ve added another 200 mcg. I forgot to add earlier that the dose of adrenals I’m at is that amount four times per day. Taking them 4xday was recommended on the Nutrimeds site.   [End]

I’ve been taking 100 mg of iodine since the beginning of November, pulse dosing on weekends at least. I’ve posted on this about a month ago I believe. I began the NutriMeds Adrenals and Thyroid Nov. 18 beginning with the adrenals and adding thyroid shortly thereafter. I’ve adjusted several times but I must be doing something wrong. Or maybe I’m not patient enough as I’ve seen no improvement at all. After stopping the Nature Throid back at the beginning of Nov., I had the return of the heavy chest feeling and no appetite. The fatigue, puffy face/eyes, and all the other thyroid symptom ...

I don’t see thymus on the nutrimeds site. Perhaps they stopped carrying it? Start with the 100 mg adrenal cortex and move up or since my adrenals are really struggling, go for 250 mg right away. I took 500 mg adrenal cortex from my previous doctor but didn’t notice anything different. Perhaps it was their brand although they insisted it was quality. Tri-boron is best?   [End]

So perhaps I should be taking the extra B5 for my adrenals or take that along with a really good B Complex? When I salt push, usually the second round of salt & water makes me very chilled inside. I feel like I’m freezing to death, more cold than my normal hypoT cold. Is this just the salt pushing poisons from my system?   [End]

I am trying to go up to 100 mg per day, but have been having some pains. Maybe I should just go up and push through. I took 100 mg again yesterday and will try again today. I’ll order the glandulars. You think Nutrimeds are better to start than Thyrogold? Should I start with just adrenal since I have had a horrible time taking thyroid medication due to adrenal stress? Perhaps the dosage will be low enough I can handle the thyroid from Nutrimeds. I am wondering also if I need more selenium right now. I’m taking 200 mcg, but I’ve read some who are having trouble actually need a bit ...

I only weigh around 125 and several months ago was less than that. I had no idea that being hypoT could cause such drastic loss in appetite. I finally realized after much reading on here and other places that I was literally starving and added in a lot more foods that I was not allowing myself to eat because they weren’t the healthiest (my belief from being vegetarian) I’ve found a source for grass fed/finished beef and sometimes eggs, and am in the process of changing my diet to more traditional. That in itself has helped some. I believe you are so right about the products you state ...

I cannot bring myself to go to another doctor right now. I’ve spent the last 6 months getting worse under their care and feeling hopeless. I know I have adrenal issues as well as hypoT and have been working on those, but seem to be no better. I am currently trying to raise my iodine dose to 100 mg, seem to be having kidney pain. I pulse dose and do the salt flushing but I still seem to have it, so maybe not kidneys? I’m also having other pains, some detox I know like breast pain, other odd pains throughout. So hard to know what’s what anymore. I currently take Vit. C, magnesium, B ...

I wish I’d never started the meds, but at the time I didn’t realize there was any other choice. I had only been on iodine for a few weeks and had read that a lot of people need both. I think I’ll try the epsom salt baths, more salt and boron like you suggest. I also decided to go up on iodine. The only time I felt warm was when I went up to 75 or 100 mg iodine but couldn’t sustain that dosage in August. Perhaps if I take the boron & do some extra cleansing I can do this. I’ve only been on iodine 5 1/2 months so I know it takes time to heal. I understand that, but I’m frustrated w ...

I also was vegetarian and did only natural supplements, etc for so long. Then I was very sick and couldn’t figure out why as I had been so ”healthy”. I wish I’d never gone on the first thyroid med though as I feel worse than ever and wonder how I will ever be able to get off them completely. I feel like they are making me worse (by symptom and labs), but everyone says that’s because I’m not on the right dose yet. I’m taking iodine and trying to get above 50 mg which I have been on for about 1 1/2 months. I went to 75 but came back down for what I thought felt like kidney pain just in ...

What do we do if the iodine doesn’t seem to be enough for the thyroid? I started iodine in May, was told by several folks on a different iodine board that most people also need thyroid meds. I was feeling really bad so I began those in June. I have been more miserable than ever since then because they cannot get the dosage right. I’m currently on Nature Throid, 32.5 mg (started over after reaction with increasing dose of Armour - possibly adrenal related). I tried increasing my iodine to see if that would help, but I had to drop back down due to detox. I am currently at 50 mg, some ...

I didn’t know dicalcium phosphate would inhibit the uptake of magnesium, etc. Thanks for pointing that out. I will check my vitamins to see if they contain that. So basically you just take the vitamins needed for the iodine protocol and nothing more? I’m so tired of taking so much. Also working on adrenals and just started Armour which seems to make my heart beat faster. So many supplements and I feel awful.   [End]

So you take it instead of a multivitamin without all the other things like magnesium & C? I know I need those extras right now as I’m detoxing. I was hoping to get back to the SF eventually though. Good to know someone is doing good with SF and iodine. I have tried other green foods, but nothing has compared to Dr. Schulze’s Superfood. It seems like I’m taking so many supplements and don’t feel any better. I know the iodine is cleaning a lot out though so I keep plugging along.   [End]

This article states that synthroid can deplete the body of iodine. Does that include a compounded synthetic Armour? My doctor put me on 1 grain Armour, but had it compounded due to being allergic to so many things and thought it would be better without fillers found in Armour. Any ideas? Also, I read the post from about a month ago on the people in TN who were cured of cancer and FBD. How much iodine were they taking? Did they do anything else besides the iodine and companion nutrients? I’m only up to 10 drops Lugol’s but having detox. Very much want to go higher since I have FBD ...

Is Herb Pharm still a recommended company? I am trying to buy just from Uny or Dr. Schulze but just in case there is something I need otherwise, I’ll need other options. I read on here it was recommended, but we opened a bottle of lobelia from Herb Pharm and the difference is horrible. We finished up an old bottle of Dr. Christopher’s lobelia and it was still potent (I probably had it 8 or 9 years), but my daughter has to take a lot more of the HP the notice anything. It also has little pieces in it which prevents me from using it in the ear for infections. It really has been quite a ...

Thank you so much! This is a fantastic list. Does anyone know how many pounds of each item in IF2 I need to purchase to get the right amounts for ”parts” by volume? Also, is this psyllium seeds & husks whole or powder? I assume it’s powder since I think that’s what’s in Uny’s. Is it better to grind it up myself or just buy powder? Where do I get pectin? I read that Dr. Schulze uses willow charcoal. I’ve never seen any activated charcoal listed as ”willow”. Is this important? I’m very new at making things myself so I hope these questions don’t sound ridiculous.   [End]

I just read several articles stating that agave nectar should not be used during pregnancy. I am 4 1/2 weeks pregnant and have been using it about twice a day in green smoothies. I am a little worried now since I read several places that it could probably cause birth defects and/or miscarriages. Do you have any information on this? I will stop using it until I hear otherwise and can get some definite information. I hope I haven’t already caused some harm if it truly can cause birth defects. Thanks for any help!   [End]

I saw tinctures listed on their website. If you go under products, then Natural Health the last thing listed in the little box is tinctures. The brand they sell is Eclectic Institute.

I have tried both Vitalerbs (Dr. Christopher) and SuperFood Plus (Dr. Schulze), but honestly I don’t know which one is the best. Can anyone fill me in on why one or the other may be better choice. Looks like they both have pretty good ingredients, so is it just a matter of preference or is one list of ingredients superior to the other? I also see Uny makes the Original Superfood. I’m not sure what Dr. S changed, but would the original be better than what he’s selling now? I’m also not sure if the Vitalerbs now are the same as what Dr. Christopher would’ve made.
