Anyone else **** themselves up using iodine?

[BimmerBrah]

After reading about how great iodine is for your health on the misc I decided to give it a try. I was putting a few drops of Lugol's on my skin and it ended up making me extremely sick. Initially it gave me flu like symptoms and I was still going to the gym because I wasn't aware that it was the iodine causing it. Felt fine while I was at the gym but afterwards I began to feel the sickest I've ever felt in my life, the best way to describe it would be like I had poison in my bloodstream. I felt extremely nauseous and disoriented almost like I was in a dream, which lasted for a few hours. The texture of my hair changed overnight (turned light brown, very thin, dry and brittle) and I had joint pain, muscle weakness, tingling/burning sensations, slight tremors that lasted for weeks. I went to the doctor to get my thyroid checked and everything came back in range. It has been 9 months since I was first putting iodine on my skin and I'm still experiencing symptoms. The initial symptoms of joint pain, muscle weakness, and the tingling/burning sensations went away but my hair is still extremely dry and brittle, my eyebrow hair is falling out, my complexion looks sickly, my cheeks and eyes are sunken, and there's a nonstop ringing in my ears. I've tried a bunch of different supplements to cure myself, right now I am taking fish oil, mega dosing vitamin c, b complex, celtic sea salt, pantothenic acid, NAC, and a few others but they seem to have no effect at all. I was completely fine before I took iodine, the only reason I tried it was because the misc said it was good for your health. This stuff has ruined my life and I wish I never heard of it, the worst part is knowing that I did this to myself. I have narrowed down to either something wrong with my adrenal gland or possibly some type of heavy metal poisoning. Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be or how I can fix it?

How long has this been going on? Could be fluoride going out of or system or something.

[Polaris]

No, but I remember reading somewhere that putting it on your scrotum is supposed to raise testosterone...although there was a bunch of other shyt you are supposed to take in conjunction with it.

It has been 9 months, I was only applying iodine topically for a few days back in March. The eyebrow/hair loss and ringing in my ears didn't start until 3 months later.

[rise21]

is there a reason you haven't gone to a dr? Sounds like you had some pretty serious symptoms.

Ive been to 2 different doctors, a regular doctor and an endocrinologist they tested for a bunch of different things but everything came back normal. They account the hair loss to stress.

Why were you using Lugol's iodine of all kinds??? It has a high concentration of elemental iodine which causes tissue damage with prolonged use. You dun goof'd bruh.

[HungryVenezuela]

If you look like death and your ears are ringing constantly then you should probably go to a medical professional, not the misc cuz
also, maybe you should avoid supplementing individuals micros
eat a varied diet and keep the fish oil
tell them you can't sleep because your ears are ringing without reason
your lack of sleep is leaving you inefficient with muscle/joint pain
your quality of life is suffering
no sex drive, no ambition

misc will not cure your ailments

natural selection smh

Dunno, I only used it for a couple days, I guess I didn't research enough. I had no idea 2-3 drops on my skin would mess me up this bad.

Would of never even heard of the stuff if it wasn't for the misc. Don't believe everything you read.

If you aren't taking selenium with it you dun goofed. I knnow you won't listen, but the problems you are facing are caused by not taking enough. You are going through heavy metal detox. take in a bunch of salt as well .check this forum for answers http://curezone.org/forums/f.asp?f=815

You're right I wasn't taking selenium with it at the time because I wasn't aware of it but I am taking it now. Do you think detox symptoms would last for 9 months even though I stopped taking the iodine? Wouldn't my body detox these metals by itself eventually?

In for scientifically confirmed, peer reviewed studies and testing to confirm detox

if you stopped taking the iodine, I would stop taking the selenium too. Especially if you are still seeing symptoms, it seems like you should stop supplementing chit you don't really understand.

I haven't been consistent with taking the selenium. Only supplements I have been taking consistently are b complex, vit c, and celtic sea salt but they seem to do nothing which is the most depressing part about this ordeal that there has been no improvement at all. It's not getting worse but it's not getting better either. I've never experienced anything like this where my body wasn't able recover by itself. At this point it feels hopeless, I didn't think I would be in the same boat 9 months later.

Call a few local chiropractors and ask if any do "Nutrition Response Testing." I had heavy metal poisoning (mercury) and was cured using treatments everyone here would dismiss as "quackery" (ironically, "quacks" was the original, non-derogatory name of dentists who administered mercury fillings)

Its almost impossible to guess and test with vitamins and supplements - NRT will help you know which specific vitamins/minerals and which doses will help you feel better.

[wulpurgis]

mmmmm natural selection at work

[Condyle]

I don't even.

Iodine is essential for thyroid function, and the synthesis of thyroid hormones. The body can't make iodine itself. So we need to take it in. But, we need micrograms of it and the body can store it. This is why simple measures such as iodised salt can halt goiter formation across entire societies.

Why anyone would tell you to megadose it is beyond me. No wonder you felt ill. Probably try not to do it again.

[Poggyhehe]

lmao am i the only one that thinks this is hilarious?

it was a matter of time really before the misc got some retard to actually get hurt and **** themselves up, with all the nonsense you guys convince people of.

I wasn't mega dosing it, I was only putting 2-3 drops on my skin and letting it absorb. Ive heard of people on this forum and especially curezone drinking up to 50 drops of this stuff.

What treatments did they do exactly? This is the next thing I'm going to try to do is detox heavy metals using cilantro and chlorella.

It's complicated, but idoine basically pushes all of the metals stored in fat or whatever out into the bloodstream which can cause damage to other areas. You have to flush that out with a bunch of water and salt or else it will just float around and cause damage before being stored again.

OP try working your way up to 50mg a day. take a whole dropper to see how you feel. I had some nasty side effects at first but i worked through them.

[THHOR]

15-20 drops of 2% lugols once every 2 days crew. Never heard of putting it on your skin tho.

Never gonna use it again, stuff is poison.

Supposedly you put a patch on your skin and if it absorbs within 3 hours then you are iodine deficient.

That's megadosing. This stuff is effecive in doses of a thousandth of a gram. Applying it to the skin is also bypassing your digestive system, dumping it more or less directly in your bloodstream. 50 drops is death wish territory.

FWIW I've had tinnitus for a long time. If it is not tied to gigs or transient factors such as medication, it never means anything good.

It can be down to all manner of things, but is ALWAYS a symptom of SOMETHING.
