Hi Sheila,

We talked about iodine...I want to update you. There has been some surprising good results quickly from iodine for myself and for my partner.

Him first as there has been a dramatic result. Briefly..since Jan my partner had developed sore muscles in legs. Pain that shifted. Cramped. low grade fever at times as it was shifting..and very tired. He went from an active strong farmer to walking with a stick and limping badly. Unable to lift right leg from knee down..muscles still there but not useful. Recently seemed to be moving..started up his arms. Special interest...he had a CAT scan in the winter and that was the first time he had been free from pain..he walked in struggling. He walked out fine..no pain. This lasted him until the following afternoon. We expected that it was due to the iodine in the dye they use. No doctor would comment on that. He has been seen by several specialists that point him to the next one. Seems he has some neuromuscular problem and will have to see someone about that. ...so..as he was getting worse and no help was offered we were desperate.
We bought some iodine/salt for animals..problem is we can't measure the amount the same as you would with a pill...
Ed has been taking some several times a day. He started to notice results yesterday. He is clearing up. He started to walk the stairs without holding the railing. I saw him run and leap while playing with the animals. Today we were out and he took his stick and didn't need too!!! He still has some aching and the muscles are weak but improving. He can lift his leg now. CRAZY. This has to be the iodine..it can't be anything else except spontanious remission.. We haven't gotten a diagnosis yet. His fever and tireness is gone. This happened suddenly. Yesterday morning he was not doing well..feeling things were getting worse..had to go to bed for a sleep. Woke up and never looked back.

Me, my experience..I take it more sparingly than he does. I have more energy. Today I was out and about, met a friend for coffee. Had my doctor's appointment went for a walk tonight and generally had a very good day. There is much less agitation inside. I feel like my core is stronger. I feel like my old self at times. I began to feel the feeling in my head that I was overdoing it while out...and even a little dizzy at times..but it passed. BUT I DIDN'T CRASH. Tonight I am very tired and have to go out tomorrow again. I am really thinking this is working for both of us!!

I will keep you updated incase this is a fluke..a coincidence.. My thyroid did show fine on my tests. However, by belief after reading is that our bodies store iodine in muscles, breast tissue or fat. Our thyroid needs iodine to function and therefore when it gets insuffcient amounts leaches it from the storehouse of supply..I believe that levels test fine..but our storehouse it is limited and on a cellular level we are deficient. Just my personal thought.


i hope to feel good again tomorrow. I am already making some plans for the weekend...so I must be feeling better. lol.
