I want to thank DebraM for sharing your story & remedies, as some of my symptoms/conditions are very similar ~ fybromyalgia, hashimoto's & enlarged lymph glands, h.pylori, among other 'things.'
In 2016 I was diagnosed with carcinoma. After the excruciating biopsy they claimed it was only a possible "c" but pushed for a lumpectomy. That lump calcified which I've since learned is common from the damage caused by biopsies & have refused any since with the multiple auxiliary lymph gland lumps. The radiologist gives 3 different possible "Cs" for these lumps & the gp pushed for a CT scan since I refuse mammograms & biopsies. But it's radiation that started the lumps I feel. I'm like the canary in the mines...super sensitive to all forms of EMR & spent 4 years with electrical transformers across from 2 different houses I rented with the electrical fuse box on my bedroom wall ~ covered with lead which helped a little for 1.5y, & 2.5y of the 4 yrs with a smart meter on my bedroom wall. I'm about to move to a house with solar panels I just found out so need to find a remedy that works for that dirty electricity. I also think I have h.pylori ~ I definitely have all the symptoms but not confirmed & released over 25kgs in 4 months while in the smart meter house, with another 7-10kg since I moved.
I've been taking Nascent iodine & selenium for 3 years (& many herbs, coconut oil, large dose Vit C & minerals for 28 yrs). The iodine definitely helped. I'm taking a Potassium iodide with selenium now & recently bought Lugols for the breast calcification & lymph lumps.
But in 1999 I was poisoned with Bromide by our government & one of its many side effects is destroying cartilage tissue & tendons. Consequently I only have a little cartilage left in 2 joints. Being one of the halogens: chloride fluoride bromide & iodine, bromide also uptakes to thyroid receptors found in every cell & damages the thyroid. I tried to take iodine right away but it wasn't availabe back in '99 & was before ebay. Then I gave up on life & forgot all about it till 3 years ago. All that time I've searched for a remedy to detox bromide but it's only been mentioned in the last 2 years by a couple detox functional medicine docs. One said iodine would help. I have also taken spirilina for years & it's supposed to be one of the remedies that will pull out the halogens although I never noticed any difference & still lost all my cartilage & ended up with 4 joint replacements.
Long winded I know, but wondering if anyone else has had bromide poisoning & for those with enlarged lymph glands, did you put Lugols on every lumph lump & how long before you noticed a difference? Thank you
