I'd say holy shit if there wasn't a playlist behind me.

@mayishima isn't it called baking soda?

@Hearthfire its somewhwre on this forum if i didnt delete it

@Insr said in Immune system support post chemotherapy?:

"I was seeing new patients almost weekly who developed thyroid disease after attempting high dose iodine." - from:
https://www.drchristianson.com/blog/the-iodine-controversy/

I know you want to do well.
Let's take the 1st source:

huge amount of iodine => Too much of a good thing is bad. Transient effect. Hashimoto without selenium to protect against immune reaction. a low dosage required.
=> The sources I give are from medical practitioners, with a high reputation, not like the ones I saw ...

Mercola/Strong Sista and Alan Christianson on excess Iodine
Here is my answer on the forum bioenergetics.com forum

In context
Iodophobia was almost born with the publication of a study by Wolff-Chaikow in 1948. In short, “the thyroid protects itself against an acute excess of iodine by suppressing the metabolism of iodine. » This is a transitory effect. The simple fact of providing iodine in supra-nutritional quantities to a subject regularly increases his TSH, sometimes to double digits for a period of several months, to spontaneously return to commonly accepted norms afterwards, and this, in a perfectly spontaneous manner. Dr. Vincent Reliquet.

@Luke, how is your thyroid function?

This is probably an overly simplistic explanation, but my mechanistic guess is that progesterone is anabolic, supporting the thyroid/parathyroid glands, the main glands responsible for the integrity of all connective tissues in the body, and lowering the catabolic hormones cortisol, adrenaline etc. The plumber’s thyroid may have been healthy enough for Progest-E to reverse the damage. For someone like myself who was chronically hypothyroid, Progest-E provided only temporary relief.

@gloryus thank you, very much appreciate the insight; yes I did find it a little odd at the length of time he’s been doing this and the results, nevertheless he does say it’s a “work in progress”, or words to that effect.
Also Elwin’s blood results did seem somewhat positive from trying certain aspects of this “protocol”.
Totally agree with the blood letting/cupping as being a very good way of reducing iron as well as reducing overall intake via food - surprised he didn’t mention at least the blood letting as a way to reduce one’s iron - having said that, I haven’t read the 132+ pages of comments on this “protocol”.
Still trying to make sense of it all.

“Get some sun “
Do you not have chemtrails where you live?
I’m jealous.
Maybe chemtrails only are in big cities where I live.

@sushi_is_cringe It's crazy. Hope you like bleach in your bisque!

@brenn just posting here for completeness, I got word from hair protocol expert that rosemary oil tends to cause endless sheds as long as it is being applied regularly whereas peppermint oil will cause a likely initial shed that stops and regrowth is promoted with continued usage

Paul Saladino is my brother and he looks great as per usual.

The RV because you would be free to roam. But I would go for a seagoing boat, or an airplane!

Iodine sources are:
A lot of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals
Red dye #3 (cherry red coloring)
Iodized salt
Certain fancy salts like Redmond Real Salt and pink himalayan salt. Sea salt has some but it varies how much.
Any food made with a high iodine salt
Bread products made with iodine dough conditioner: 148 mcg/slice
Seaweed
Seafood (A few species are high, but most don't have as much as you'd think)
Milk: 85 mcg/cup today because cows are over-supplemented
Yogurt
Cheese: 14mcg/oz in most types, but it varies
Eggs: 25 mcg/egg cause hens are over-supplemented
Meat (but generally not in very large amounts)
Orange juice: 21 mcg/cup. And Grapefruit juice too. (This is because they sanitize the storage tanks with iodine. Oranges and grapefruits by themselves have very little.)
Some fruits packed in syrup, probably for similar reasons.

Orange juice having iodine was a surprise to me! I researched why and wrote an article about it, since you can't find a word about it on the internet currently. Here it is: https://endocrinefriendly.com/orange-juice-iodine/

And most other food has barely any iodine, That's why it would be hard for a typical non-seaweed-eating person in the past to end up eating a very high iodine diet, before iodine fortification and before dough conditioners. I estimate an inland person (living in a part of the world with iodine rich soil) in 1890 would get maybe 80 mcg iodine per day.

Yes (8 character minimum)

@LucH Well it appears just be coffee, not other histamine foods,

Thanks for the responses everyone. Re-evaluating sugar seems to be helping quite a bit - and the amount that feels good seems to be in line with 5-10 grams per cup. I'm able to tolerate 2 cups again, up from 1. We'll see how high it ends up going lol.

""Symptoms to expect when you do coffee right are calmness, focus, motivation, warmth, and stable energy. Coffee done wrong leads to anxiety, shakiness, sweating, feeling wired, inability to focus, and sometimes cold extremities.""

This right here seems very much correct! No shakiness or "tired-but-wired" feeling, and sleep these past few days has been a bit better, but I know new habits take a while to test.

I suppose I've been progressing over the years - black coffee in my early 20s, adding some milk in my late 20s, and now I'm adding sugar I guess. Better metabolic and stress tolerance habits as I age. It's like there's some reserve of stress tolerance we build up as carefree teenagers that we slowly but surely deplete through dumb habits (black coffee, fasting, etc) and life stress as we get older. Well, never too late to get on the right track, right?

@pondfountain yes

@JamesL that's just my experience. No response whatsoever from prohormones in general without smashing cortisol/serotonin down first. You can probably do this naturally just by eating above maintenance and maybe some caffeine.
