Dee, the weight loss thing may have more to do with a congested liver than just iodine supplementation by itself. I have been taking iodine and haven't lost a milimeter. I also know though that I have a congested liver and am working on cleansing my entire body right now. Remember your fat cells are also your body's way of protecting your vital organs from toxins that your liver can't filter out. If your liver is clogged or congested, then the toxins are floating around in your blood stream and your body tends to engulf them with fat and store them to protect your vital organs like heart and brain so they aren't damaged. Then they store the fat in your body thinking they have done you a favour because your liver can no longer do it's job. It's important to remember that our body is a whole and our individual organs don't work independently of one another. When one failsafe fails there is always another system waiting to take over. Since everyone is in a different state of "wellness" each of us will react differently to the same supplements or protocols. If you are not losing weight, there is something else working against you here.
I know when I did the bowel, parasite cleanse I felt a lot better. Now I am doing the kidney cleanse and then finally continuing with the liver cleanse and hopefully when I start to exercise things will change. Will let you know of the outcome but I've read enough to convince me of this. There is also another awesome book called "The Liver Causes Heart Attacks" by WP Neufeld M.D. published by Gordon Soules Book www.gordonsoules.com ISBN# 0-88925-816-3 I am a nurse and was amazed by this. It all sounds very plausible and I have experienced the symptoms in the book exactly as they are described. Now I know what they actually mean. It's scary but also freeing as I know how to stop what is happening and turn it around. What I would really like to do is type both of these books out and be able to email them but that would take time I don't really have right now.

I did the suggested iodine test (a patch on the skin) and it was absorbed in seven hours. This is supposed to indicate that I am low on iodine and as I have one or two symptoms that would seem to support this I am now taking a supplement of it. I have to say that I have far more energy than I did and feel much better, but the weight thing is still a problem, as I have to eat next to nothing to lose it. Even then it doesn't seem to work. I am getting to the stage where I am going to use *no* supplements at all but make juice. Mind you, I've read that even that is not as good as eating fruit! You can't win!

Daily intake of 2,000 mcg iodine may be toxic, particularly in people with kidney disease or tuberculosis. -- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
