Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.

Any comments or thoughts are appreciated.
Hi, when modifying the dose, do it progressivity, on a 10 - 15 days period. Cut the dose on every other day.
Taking levothyroxine won't solve the problem on long term if you can convert T4 to T3 and FT3. You need useful nutrient for deodinases to help the conversion. + iodine (I2 & potassium iodide) for other organs and tissues. I can develop if desired.
@chosroes said in Iodine - too much!:
Did the naturopath in the OP video provide sources for the low iodine study, anywhere? Couldn't see anything on his website.
I won't watch a video that says iodine above RDA is dangerous . Try to countre-act the mainstream "idea". See the link beneath.
Signs of iodine deficiency
Main signs of iodine deficiency leading to metabolic disorders in adults
Apart from usual symptoms as goiter enlargement, hypothyroidism, impairment of mental function, spontaneous hyperthyroidism in the elderly, Drs David Reliquet and David Minkoff mentions additional symptoms like reduced alertness & slow metabolism leading to fatigue, sluggishness, apathy, depression and insomnia; lack of optimal detoxification, particularly of bromides, fluorides and heavy metals; sensitivity to temperature changes, cold hands and feet; muscle pain, etc.

@amizon said in Iodine - too much!:
I had a CT with iodine contrast last week. Afterward I initially felt great actually, really warm and energetic. But this week I feel the worst I've felt in years.
Logical. Counter-reaction. Your symporters / conveyors were probably asleep when you got the contrast product with iodine. What wasn't used / assimilated (90%) had to be dealt / evacuated. Too much for the liver. So, you felt sick.
Next time (not before 4 weeks), you'll probably assimilate 50 % if you take iodorate (R) 12.5 mg. Need both K2 and IK.
I'd drink 100 ml (3.5 oz) water with 1/4 tsp sodium (1.2 g) and and more water 100 ml x 2 or 3 every 30-45' to go and pee, until you feel better.
Bicarbonate sodium would be better than NaCl, of course.
@pittybitty
Yes. Well sumerized.
I understand your need for concentration and Time to deal with the info.
@pittybitty said in Hypothyroid->Digestion Issues->Allergies->Adrenaline->Insomnia:
Ate extra Carbs and now I am happy again
Ok, fine. Need for potassium should be optimized to avoid / limit insulin spike.
When taking carbs, B1 B2 B3 + biotin should be brought from food or supplement.
Not necessary every day.
@pittybitty said in Hypothyroid->Digestion Issues->Allergies->Adrenaline->Insomnia:
I can also do a bit of controlled breathing to increase CO2 but don't find it particularly relaxing.
CO2 is more to optimize metabolism here. Usually not perceived at the beginning. Simply dee p breeze when walking (downside of the stomach).
I'd read the link to see if you feel concerned, whenever 3 symptoms are present.

@BigBeansMcGee
cheese and ham. Mind E250-255 (nitrites), and acid-base balance (K).
Sauerkraut for fiber.
Mind excess histamine with these 3 kinds. 150-200 units / day. Only one choice among these ones.
There is no RP diet but only guide lines for optimizing energy and a wealthy state. Problem if you dont metabolize carbs well ...
@Insr said in Iodine - too much!:
doesn't the typical person's constant exposure to halogens (and goitrogens like soy) make their thyroid take in less iodine? So would that mean that person could handle a higher iodine intake without getting iodine excess problems,
If the iodine in unable to reach the gland, you've got less T3 and T4.
Now let's suppose you've taken NDT, the problem will be differed. You feel better for a while (rather in months, sometimes 2-3 or 5 years) ...
To be able to capture iodine, and to dislodge halogens from the thyroid, you have to deal with a 3 side-action, at the same time, under the supervision of your health practitioner because you're going to doubt ... 
The technique of sodium saturation (if your kidneys are OK). to pee and evacuate the toxins captured. This is called " Sodium loading protocol". See Lynne Farrow's book for details.
Nutrients are needed too, as Vit A, C B12 D3 E; HD riboflavin & niacin, Zn (+ sufficient Ca Mg Mb)
You have to familiarize with Herxheimer crisis (how to deal with detox when LPS are overloading the liver).
have Iodine K1 and KI (potassium iodine) from Iodorate 12.5 and 50 mg (50 000 mcg).
PS: I'm not going to detail the protocol further.
Useful info (from Dr. Vincent Reliquet), I cite him:
The thyroid and skin almost only use iodides of the KI type, or potassium iodide, the form of supplementation found for example in iodized table salt. But the breast, prostate, ovary and brain need molecular iodine type I2. The kidney, spleen, liver, blood, salivary glands, intestines and muscles all require a joint supply in both forms. The fight against cancer, probably also. And all these organs are abandoned to their sad deiodized fate...
@Insr said in Iodine - too much!:
I have some gum inflammation at times.
I'd try green tea mouth bath. I did it with a 15' infusion 3-4 times a day. keep it 3-4' in mouth.
@Insr said in Bloodwork shows elevated TPOAb (Hashimoto's disease):
Is it really iodine?
By the way, I just recently tried an experiment where I increased the iodine back up to see what would happen and it made me feel awful, very low thyroid feeling.
Iodine overload can cause transient hypothyroidism, due to a protective mechanism. This is the whole point of progressiveness...
For other readers:
Even if overload only occurs in 10% of people who started with a high dosage. The NIS symporters should have been acclimatized/re-educated before taking Lugol 1% 10 mg or Iodoral 12.5 mg.
Vocabulary: Na/I symport (NIS), or sodium/iodide symport, is a transmembrane glycoprotein catalyzing the active transport of circulating iodide and participating in the synthesis of thyroid hormones.
Edit:
A high dosage of iodine will dislodge/drive away the halogens attached to the thyroid gland, causing an overload in blood circulation. The liver is then unable to process residual molecules derived from bromine, chlorine or fluorine. This makes people sick ...
@Insr said in Bloodwork shows elevated TPOAb (Hashimoto's disease):
Thank you! I've switched to sea salt.
Hi,
Salt is not the right kind for iodine: quick evaporation (not stable and it contains Cl => halogen).
We need two kinds of iodine: I2 and KI. See Lynne Farrow if you want to understand why.
@William-Shat
There is no danger, when doing it progressively and listening to the body response, realizing 10 % people could suffer from endotoxins when the body tries to get rid of excess halogens.
The example given was to set under the light that the recommendations are contradictory, that it doesn't make sense.
@William-Shat said in Iodine - too much!:
Will be happy if someone can explain this phenomenon)
You do well. I won't change. I can explain but not now, not in this post.
The misunderstanding comes from a Fake element, the so called Wolff-checkoff effect that is transitorily.
One fact:
NIH stands 150 mcg iodine is RDA. But the limit is 1100 mcg when the physician tries to heal cancer.
Source: Dr Reliquet. The power of iodine (in French).
@Ibshaver23 said in TLR4 activation:
Does anyone know of any ways to impede or antagonize this receptor?
You're trying to fight against the consequence, not the cause. If endotoxins are the problem, I'd try to make it easier to get rid of them.
TLR4 activates both the MyD88-dependent and TRIF-dependent pathways. Activation of these pathways is controlled by several molecules to induce appropriate responses. Balanced production of inflammatory cytokines and type I IFN may be important for controlling tumor cell growth and autoimmune diseases.

I can give a link if interested on how to make it easier to get rid of LPS.
@z_pav said in Aspirin tips:
I eat oysters and shrimp multiple times a week. Not sure what sea fruit is. I don’t really eat fish outside of that.
OK, fine. You don't lack iodine. Great.
However in USA people are surrounded by bromine (bread, salt, delayed fire carpets and curtains). If so, brome takes the place of iodine on your thyroid.
For other readers: Bringing T3 and / or T4, without iodine from I2 and IK, won't resolve metabolism problems, especially for women (breast).
@z_pav said in Aspirin tips:
You don’t think liver is good enough for most of the b vitamins?
Liver once a week is a good choice, especially for retinol (Vit A); not only. If your source is organic beef liver, it's fine. otherwise i'd rather eat chicken livers (young animals; 3 months delay => less environment toxins).
By the way, it makes me think that mercury blocks any possibility of recup (teeth if you're older than 50). Enzyme pathway inefficient.
There is no biotine in beef and chicken liver.
Interesting elements in liver:
Foie de poulet (chicken liver): Pour 100 gr (+/ 3 x 1 foie) : K/cal. 167 – L6.5/2.1 P24.5 G0.9 (1)
** Thiamine (B1), Zinc, Cuivre and Manganèse (bonnes sources);
*** Protéine, Vitamine A, Vitamine C, Riboflavine (B2), Niacine (B3), Vitamine B6, Folate (B9), Vitamine B12, Acide Pantothénique (B5), Fer, Phosphore, Sélenium et choline (très bonnes sources).
Score Acides Aminés: 145 (excellent)
Acides gras: AGS / SFA 2.1 AGMI / MUFA 1.4, AGPI / PUFA 2. Omega-6: 749 mg. Cholestérol: 563 mg.
NB: I have a PDF file with the compo of both livers, if interested fir details.
Comment: Once a week could be sufficient if there is no problem in metabolism.
For sure, no more than 1x/wk if the energy level is weak. Awakening must be progressive.
@z_pav said in Aspirin tips:
I just started taking B1 and just ordered some B6.
When taking 100 mg thiamine (B1) each day, B2 is going to miss.
Interaction between B1 B2 B3 B8. Not necessary every day for B2. So, I'd take a B-50 complex (co-enzymed) 2x/wk.
Which kind of B6 ad how much? B6 PLP is the active form.
@LucH said in Aspirin tips:
Do yo eat fish or seafruit?
I re-put my question. I suppose the answer is "no".
Do you live near the seaside (50 km)? If the answer is "no" ...
Do you eliminate the halogen sources which could interfere with your thyroid: Br, Fl and Cl? The thyroid is the carburetor of metabolism.
Please, don't tell me your thyroid is OK because TSH is fine when you get 3 problems of the next list:
Watch out for adrenal fatigue when there is frequent secretion of cortisol (stress).
Glycine and L-theanine could help. But we need a mix with walk, breath, and a relax technique (sophrology or EFT).
@z_pav said in Aspirin tips:
I'm interested in aspirin to see if it can improve my libido and depression and get my temps up.
Hi,

I'd rather look at what can lmpact brain / mood (B1 B6) and energy (thyroid).
Do yo eat fish or seafruit? Are you vegan?
Need More info.
