One question for you Bex, do things seem to get worse because of what you are using is not agreeing or are the feelings I have really bromide and Mercury detox etc.?
The twitching in the head musles and frontal headaches? The diarreah? The weird feeling and anxiety you get? I read Kelp can contain some arsenic, but seriously the Kombu I use is tested from
www.seaveg.com and it tells you on the website it doesn't have much inorganic mercury in it, just a LITTLE Organic and tested for everything else pretty much.
Can the iodine really make you feel like this in doses and make you worse? Is that really that poweful at detoxing? I am going to pick it up again, but I need to add some Magnesium soon to off the headaches and help out with Detox, it is supposedly a MUST in most detoxes.
I know you were directly this at Bex, but I wanted to give you my input.
Yes iodine can cause of all these symptoms. It isn't the iodine itself, but the toxins it is moving around in the body. On the curezone forum, some person said he decided to take 10, yes 10 iodoral tablets. He wrote about his experiences for the next few days. He said that he was having extreme personality changes. He yelled at his roommate for no reason, started crying for no reason and just felt completely out of his mind. Later he determined it was the bromide in his body causing these ups and downs. If you look up Bromide poisoning, which is also called bromism you see it can cause psychosis!
In addition to the personality and neurological changes, it can cause headaches (extreme headaches), acne, extreme irritability, tremors, feeling clumsy and much much more. I had all of these symptoms when I was taking the iodine and for a while it wasn't too pretty. Honestly I can't imagine doing both mercury detox and the iodine detox at the same time. It would be WAY too much for my body to handle. I'd pick one and stick with it. I took the iodine in "larger" doses for about 2 months. Eh I still don't think 3 iodoral tabs is that much, but everyone has their own opinion on that.
My husband was worried during some of these darker times, but I reassured him it was detoxing symptoms. I did eventually get better and now I take 1 tablet of iodine without any ill effects. I actually feel better when I take it. If I forget to take it I can immediately tell and in some ways "miss" it. Like my body is reminding me that it's really important.
When you get these symptoms you must immediately start salt loading until you begin urinating every 15 minutes. You have to flush it out of your system. If you want more information about what bromide can do to you just type in bromism into google. You'll find a lot of symptoms it causes.
Lastly, I don't believe a lot of the nonsense that the mainstream news says about iodine. A lot of the "symptoms" they say iodine causes are simply the detoxing effects from the poisons in us. You have to consider the source of information and remember to ask yourself "who stands to gain". Gotta love it when the American Cancer Society bad mouths iodine that costs about $50 for a bottle of 120 tablets, but LOVES CHEMOTHERAPY that extorts people for $100,000 for a full treatment! Okay I had to get that little rant off my chest.
Good luck Sean. You should blog about your experiences. It helps to give yourself a channel to vent in and people will find your information through google.
