Very interesting programmer.

I went traveling in Asia a while ago and suggested to my Doc that I use iodine to sterilize water - she went nuts & said no way! I have hashimotos and have recently questioned her reaction. From what I understand it would do me good?!?

Seems like it would, I have noticed I have been getting headaches, but I a,so have a cold and sinus infection. But it could be part of detox. From what he said it starts to shave away the calcification of a nodule or goitre!! They wanna cut me open but hell to the no!! I am only going to do it once a day but it must be that certain kind nascent. I am not a doctor so this is not professional advice but maybe she thought it was different kind of iodine. What the heck do,they know. Good vid tho! Very interesting, because he said he was detoxing too often detox can give you a headache. I am prone to them anyway. But some of the others should comment. I used to take kelp until I heard of this. It is on Amazon. He said it was so I portent for thyroid function. I will never go back to the endo. He was a butthead arrogant prat that would not even look at me when he spoke, only spoke to my husband who does not even live with me. Good luck honey. X x x

Hi Ritaritarita,

Yes, Nascent iodine - it has to be charged with its ions ( +ve & -ve) for it to be properly absorbed by the body - or so I understand.

From what I've heard, it is also very very normal to have headaches when you de-tox - just the bad sh** coming out - LOL ! I'm probably going to start one (detox) after Christmas ..... but will certainly be looking to get hold of some iodine. I am also cutting out the fluoride toothpaste! And yes, great video.

Unfortunately, with most doctors, they have to know a bit about everything. It's up to us as patients to understand what is going on in our bodies. There is always new research and new breakthroughs, it is impossible for them to keep up. My doctor has unfortunately left the practice, but I'm hoping that her replacement is going to be just as easy with me - they generally leave me to my own devices - but because I'm sub clinical (Show very few symptoms) I do have to have my bloods monitored every few months. Then again, what is good / normal for one person is not good for another! I tried Kelp for a while, but it made me burp like crazy.. :) ha ha. I was on 75mcg Levo a day, but then broke into a horrible excema like facial rash. had heart palpitations etc, even more hot flushes.

My daughter suggested that I was over medicated, so I have dropped my Levo to 50mcg per day and feel so much better - the rash has gone, the flushes are less and no palpitations at all !!! Next blood test in a couple of weeks - just before or after New Year.

So, enjoy the festive season as best you can.

All the best
