Introduction In the last 5 years, I’ve developed some medical problems that have been very perplexing One of them is an autoimmune disorder, which caught me off guard because I’ve been relatively healthy for over 50 years! I couldn’t help thinking that something was missing from my diet. I’ve taken many vitamin supplements over the years but they didn’t prevent me from getting sick. I now believe that my autoimmune disorder is directly linked to high mercury levels. Why? Someone recently ed me through my site. He wrote to me about mercury toxicity and using the iodine protocol. Since iodine hasn’t been used in years, I wondered if it could be the missing link? You can believe that my eyes almost popped out of my head as I was reading his email! Iodine deficiency is linked to many disorders and may be associated with adrenal or thyroid problems, which causes autoimmunity. There’s a good possibility that ‘preventative’ childhood immunizations (that contain mercury) may have played a large role in screwing up your system too if you got them. It’s well documented that the mercury in childhood immunizations are linked to the high rate of autism today! Of course, I had all my childhood immunizations and have 5 amalgams and 3 crowns that contain mercury amalgam. I’ve also had flu vaccines and other injections throughout my life that contained mercury. Who knows how much mercury I actually have in my body! It’s chilling to think about! The fillings have been there a very long time but the crowns were done later after my son was born. (If you unsure if your crowns were attached using mercury amalgam, look to see if the area below the crown is dark colored. If so, your dentist used mercury to attach your crowns too!) I just started taking iodine this week but before that I increased my vitamin D levels because taking iodine can reduce them. I also started salt pushing to help relieve symptoms of bromism. This may sound confusing now but after reading this ebook, I hope you’ll understand how mercury and the symptoms overlap and relate. Recovery may take a year or longer though so please don’t expect overnight miracles. The point is however, that we now have REAL HELP! I hope this method works for everyone! I also discovered a few years ago that iodine deficiency could cause a defect in fetal brain development. My son was born with mental disabilities we didn’t know about until he reached toddler age. Still, knowing that I may have been able to prevent his disabilities just by taking iodine when I was pregnant weighs heavy on my heart. I sure hope this ebook will help save future generations from the heartache I feel!

Who Needs Metal Chelation? Metal chelation is appropriate for anyone who has been exposed to mercury or other heavy metals. People who are at most risk for mercury exposure: have amalgams, root canals or other cavitations; work in a dentist office; have had childhood immunizations, flu vaccines or any injection that contained Thimerosal, a mercury-containing organic compound. (Since the 1930s, Thimerosal has been widely used as a preservative in a number of biological and drug products, including many vaccines.)

Mercury Exposure The WHO (World Health Organization) has finally decided to ban mercury, which speaks volume, but for most people reading this, metal exposure has already occurred. Since many metals are considered to be dangerous to the human body, there is a much higher prevalence and incidence of mercury exposure today than at any time before. For that reason, mercury exposure poses a clear and definite health risk. Mercury is a metal that occurs naturally in small amounts in the environment. Because it remains liquid at room temperature, it is used in many consumer products. Mercury is used in barometers, blood pressure instruments, thermometers, and other pressure-sensing instruments. Batteries containing mercury are used in some small electronic devices. Small amounts of mercury can be found in fluorescent and energy saving light bulbs. Mercury also is used in outdoor lighting, motion picture projection, and the making of some medications. What comes to mind when you think about mercury exposure? Fish! Although mercury exposure is directly related to consuming fish that are contaminated, the instance of exposure is not that great as compared to other forms of exposure. Back to TOC

What’s Toxic? Many immunizations, injections and vaccines contain mercury, and amalgams, crowns, or cavitations that are seated next to your brain are the most toxic. In these forms, mercury exposure is extremely HIGH. Many people worldwide have mercury fillings or cavitations. Mercury fillings, (silver fillings or amalgams) are the most common fillings around the globe. They are composed of 45 - 52 percent mercury, 25 percent silver, and the remaining percent is a mixture of copper, zinc and tin.

Dental Filling Facts •

Scientific research has demonstrated that even in small amounts, mercury can damage the brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, thyroid gland, pituitary gland, adrenal gland, cells, enzymes and hormones. It also impairs and suppresses your immunity.

•

Mercury doesn’t just stay in your mouth. It is continually released from fillings in the form of mercury vapor and tiny abraded particles. These mercury vapors can increase as much as 15 percent by chewing food or gum, brushing your teeth, or drinking hot liquids. The WHO (World Health Organization) recently concluded that the daily intake of mercury from amalgams far exceeds the combined daily intake of mercury derived from the environment or other sources. (air, water, and foods, including fish).

•

In human autopsy studies, a direct correlation was found between the amount of mercury found in the brain and the number of mercury fillings in the teeth.

•

Mercury causes normal intestinal micro flora and ‘good’ bacteria you need for digestion to become mercury resistant and antibiotic resistant. In the intestinal tract, mercury-resistant bacteria cause mercury to be converted back into vapor, which is then recycled back into the body. For that reason, antibiotic resistance is fast becoming a major health problem today, along with IBS.

•

Recent scientific research has shown high levels of mercury in the brains of individuals who died from Alzheimer's disease. Other research demonstrates that mercury can cause pathological defects in the brain similar to those seen in

5

Lou Gehrig's disease. Mercury inhibits key brain detoxification of enzyme systems. Today, the American Dental Association (ADA) states that amalgams are safe and do not present a health threat. However, in 1989, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared amalgams a hazardous substance. Once absorbed into the body, heavy metals become embedded in soft tissue or bones. What makes heavy metal poisoning particularly scary is it not only can cause severe disease but it can even lead to irreversible damage to your genetic DNA and your immunity. While there are treatments to help remove heavy metals from the body, it can take several months or years to recover completely. Clearly the best line of defense is to recognize the danger and prevent heavy metal poisoning in the first place, but if you’re late to the party, there is a way to help detoxify your body. Back to TOC

Removing Mercury Fillings Mercury filling removal may be more hazardous than having them in the first place since removing them can generate mercury vapors and paticulates (small particles) many times greater than simply leaving them alone. Before making any decisions, have your doctor screen your body for heavy metals with a simple urine test to determine your levels. If they are high enough, find a biological dentist who is informed about safe amalgam removal and follows the Dr. Huggins Protocol. Furthermore, anyone who has cavitations (root canals) should also consider having those teeth removed. Why? Because root canals are done to save a dying tooth. You actually end up retaining a ‘dead body’ in your mouth, which has a direct line to your brain.

Chelation Therapy as Treatment Chelation therapy is a safe alternative to having amalgams removed. Most people in the general population are uninformed. They know nothing about mercury toxicity because it’s been suppressed by many in the medical community. Chelation therapy was first used in the 1940s by the U.S. Navy to treat lead poisoning. Chelation was approved by the FDA shortly thereafter as a safe method of treating heavy metal toxicity. Chelation therapy improves metabolic and circulatory function by removing toxic metals from the body. This was accomplished using an amino acid, ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA), by either an oral or intravenous infusion.

6

When a molecule of EDTA travels through the blood stream, it adheres to heavy metal particles, and pulls them out of the membrane or body tissue. Since EDTA is an artificial amino acid, the body regards it as a foreign substance and delivers it to the kidneys to be excreted in the urine. However, EDTA has only demonstrated effectiveness with calcium deposits. Vitamin K2 is better for calcium deposits anyway. Since most people don’t have calcium deposits, there’s another form of chelation therapy that works well for mercury (and other metal) exposure. Before antibiotics were used, nutritional iodine was used for all bacterial infections and general illnesses. Since that time, iodine therapy has been replaced with penicillin, which has left most people deficient. I would have never even thought about iodine in today's society because its importance has been withheld. Back to TOC

The Importance of Iodine Iodine is ESSENTIAL to every cell in your body. Without iodine, you wouldn’t be alive. You will need to take either Lugol’s 5% iodine solution or a supplement that contains the proper amounts of both iodine and iodide such as Iodoral. Lugol's 5% Solution or Iodoral supplements are inorganic or elemental iodines. Radio-active iodine is organic. Lugol's iodine solution has been proven effective in chelating lead, mercury, cium, and aluminum, fluoride and bromide, without removing other important minerals. The reason really high doses of iodine are used for radiation accidents is because your body doesn't know the difference between nutritional iodine and radioactive iodine. The body will take up either form when you’re deficient. Taking large doses of iodide will go right to the thyroid, saturate it, and keep out the radioactive form. Iodine is the oxidized form. Iodide is the reduced form. Iodide is the salt of iodine. Iodide is found in table salt. Iodized salt has iodine added to it but it’s not nearly enough to count nor the same thing as nutritional iodine. Sea salt can is NOT a good source of iodine because it also contains bromides and other toxins and both the sodium and potassium added to them are non-biological, meaning the body cannot use them, but it will take them up.

7

Iodine needs real salt (1.5 teaspoons per day) to eliminate bromide. Chloride pushes the bromide into the urine. Iodine also needs vitamin C (1,500 mg 2x daily) to increase absorption to push out fluoride.

Iodine Chelates: Mercury Lead Aluminum Cium

Iodine in the body: Thyroid needs 3% prefers iodide (50mg iodide) Lungs prefer iodide Skin needs 20% and prefers iodide Salivary Glands prefer iodide Muscles (650mg) and fat needs 700mg iodine (70 percent) Stomach prefers iodine Breast tissue needs 3-5 mg / day minimum and prefers iodine Prostate prefers iodine Your thyroid prefers iodide. In the case of a nuclear accident, they will give out potassium iodide, so that the thyroid will fill up with good iodide and not radio active iodine. Lugol's iodine has been proven effective in chelating lead, mercury, cium, and aluminum, fluoride and bromide, without chelating other needed minerals. Getting proper amounts of iodine is vital to your health. Removing iodine from the food supply was a major mistake for health. (Or was it an intentional move by the medical community who wants us all to be sick?)

*Supplying daily intake of iodine for whole body (100-400 times the RDA): • • • •

gives protection against goitrogens and radioactive iodine/iodide fallout; improves immune functions, resulting in an adequate defense system against infection: decreases singlet oxygen formation which is the major cause of oxidative damage to DNA and macromolecules, resulting in an anti-carcinogenic effect in every organ in the human body; detoxifies by increasing urinary excretion of the toxic metals lead, mercury, cium, and aluminum, as well as the goitrogens fluoride and bromide; 8

• • •

normalizes hormone receptor functions resulting in improved response to thyroid hormones both endogenous and exogenous; and results in better control of blood sugar in diabetic patients; stabilizes cardiac rhythm, obviating the need for the toxic sustained release form of iodine, amiodarone; normalizes blood pressure without medication in hypertensive patients.

Iodine deficiency is the major cause of cognitive impairment worldwide. Supplementing iodine results in optimal cognitive function.

*Reference: http://www.optimox.com/pics/Iodine/IOD-04/IOD_04.html http://www.lookgreat-loseweight-savemoney.com/iodine-deficiency.html One thing to be aware of is when supplementing with iodine, vitamin D levels tend to decrease so be sure to UP your intake! Find out how much you need: http://www.lookgreat-loseweight-savemoney.com/vitamin-d.html To understand how iodine works, you MUST understand the displacement of metals. There is a well-known law of halogen displacement. The halogen group is made up as follows:

Halogen Atomic Weight Fluorine 19 Chlorine 35.5 Bromine 80 Iodine 127 How the law works: The critical activity of any of these four halogens is in inverse proportion to its atomic weight. This means that any one of the four halogens can displace other halogens in the body that have a higher atomic weight. For example, fluorine can displace chlorine, and bromine can displace iodine. Similarly, chlorine can displace bromine and iodine. Likewise, bromine can displace iodine because iodine has a higher atomic weight. A reverse order is not possible. Knowledge of this well-known chemical law makes you wonder about the addition of chlorine to drinking water as a purifying agent. We secure a drinking water that is harmful to the body not because of its harmful germ content but because the added chlorine causes the body to lose the muchneeded iodine. If iodine is not part of the equation, the displacement only makes you sick.

Since bromine can displace iodine, most people are deficient in iodine and may have symptoms of bromism. For example, excessive bromide’s can cause bromide acne. Back to TOC

Iodine Protocol with Companion Nutrients Here is a list of the companion nutrients to take with iodine/iodide. The most important are boron (borax), Vitamin C, and Selenomethionine. •

Borax – Borax turns to boron in your body and can help kill pathogens! To make borax solution, mix 1/8 tsp. Borax per gallon of reverse osmosis water or distilled water. Use USP Grade Borax. (I’m successfully using 20 Mule Team Borax but if you have a sensitive system, you’ll need USP Grade Borax.)

There are no rules on how many glasses of borax water to drink per day. Just drink it as you normally drink water and that should be sufficient. •

Boron - You can also take BORON supplements instead of borax! Take 2 or 3 capsules per day or one before meals.

You do NOT need to take both. Boron s that the parathyroid gland and can CURE hyperparathyroidism. Some people have used 1/4 tsp. borax per gallon to get rid of candida fungus. You can supplement with something like the Tri-boron since borax turns into boron in the body. It can be used to flush out fluoride. Borox/boron can help remove fluoride from the pineal gland. Boron is good for bone health. It contains calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K. Boron has citrate for better absorption. Take 2 or 3 capsules daily. •

Iodine must be taken with 1500 mg. vitamin C twice daily to repair Sodium/Iodide Symporter (NIS) problems. A higher dosage may be necessary to detoxify bromides. (The NIS is what transports iodine into the tissues.) Iodine defuses into tissues, but iodide has to be transported via the Sodium-IodideSymporter. Breast cancer patients and hypothyroid children have a faulty NIS.

Never take iodine straight. It will burn the tongue. Lugol's 5% Iodine Solution is a combination of both iodine and iodide. SSKI is Super Saturated Potassium Iodide and is used in a variety of ways.

10

1 VERTICAL drop = 6.25 mg (2.5 mg iodine, 3.75 mg iodide) 1 HORIZONTAL drop (or 2 vertical drops) = 12.5 mg (5 mg iodine, 7.5 mg iodide) One vertical drop of Lugol's 5% Iodine Solution contains 2.5 mg Iodine and 3.75 mg Iodide with a total of 6.25 mg. The combination was created to serve the whole body and was the antibiotic of choice before penicillin. Add the iodine to a very small amount of water or juice that doesn't have vitamin C, mix and drink immediately, and then follow with a drink a glass of plain water afterward, used as a chaser. Some people add iodine to their orange juice, but some of the iodine converts to iodide when vitamin C is present. If you ever spill any Lugol's solution on anything, it will stain. However if you do spill it, mix water with ascorbic acid (vitamin C), apply it to the area, and it will immediately turn clear. Most people start off with about 2-4 vertical drops of Lugol’s solution per day. Bromide being expelled from the body may cause symptoms of foggy head, acne, and fatigue. If bromism occurs, use Morton’s pickling salt to help push it out. (Instructions for mixing are just below and on your chart.) If you put the iodine in a capsule, swallow the capsule immediately or it will dissolve. •

1/2 tsp of Morton’s Pickling salt needs to be taken with 16 oz of water to flush out bromide while taking iodine. (Since sea salt has non-biological sodium and potassium, use Morton's pickling/kosher/canning salt.) Flushing bromide must be done for people with Graves disease.

Use pickling salt on all foods you cook or eat and do salt pushing several times daily. Salt pushing: put 1/2 teaspoon in your palm, lick it, and add a tablespoon (small handful) of warm water to your mouth. Aggressively swish it in and out of your teeth for a few minutes to help kill pathogens and reduce gum pockets. DO NOT salt push right before bed or you can get tingling in the hands or feet – a sign of bromism – when you lay down to sleep! When using the iodine protocol, add 1/2 teaspoon of pickling salt to plain water and drink. Keep drinking (lots of) water during the day to help flush bromides from your body. This will reduce the symptoms of bromism that most people experience when supplementing with iodine.

11

You can alternate borax water and salt water during the day but don’t mix them together. •

200 mcg Selenium, as Selenomethionine MUST be used with iodine to prevent Hashimoto's from Graves or Hyperthyroidism to Hashimoto's. Selenomethionine attaches to mercury and keeps it out of your tissues. For any of these conditions, please read this section.

•

300-600 mg magnesium oxide (Iodine Investigation Project participants prefer magnesium glycinate or magnesium citrate.) Alternately, you can get the sulfur and magnesium your body needs by adding a pinch of Epsom’s Salt to your water throughout the day. Don’t over-use as ES acts as a mild laxative.

•

500 mg. Niacin (B3) twice a day (NOT Niacinamide). Helps muscles and tissues absorb iodine, and is especially important for patients with fibromyalgia.

•

100 mg. Riboflavin (B2) three times a day. Helps muscles and tissues absorb iodine, and is especially important for patients with fibromyalgia.

(Feb 2008) Dr. Guy Abraham cautions that "excess calcium supplementation (2,0003,000 md/day) has been the most common cause of poor response to iodine supplementation." Vitamin Research News Vol. 22. Number 2. •

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) seems to be the best for getting mercury out of the brain, however in large doses, mercury can relocate and re-toxify other places of the body. For that reason, it’s preferred to take ALA in very small doses every 4 hours. This appears to help people with autoimmunity disorders.

Back to TOC

Other Useful Facts Chlorophyll (found in leafy green veggies) may also be useful as it helps absorb toxins in the GI tract due to halogen detoxification. Pickling salt does not contain iodine but it will push out bromides. The pickling salt pushes out bromides but it also supplies your body with REAL salt that your nerves need to function properly. Bromism occurs when bromides are being expelled from the body, which is crucial when you’re taking iodine. In order for iodine to be effective, you must get rid of the bromides. This is dependent on the Halogen Effect and the laws of displacement. Many people will suffer from bromide acne, brain fog, and dizziness because iodine pushes out bromides.

12

Mountain Dew has brominated vegetable oil. Breads, cereals, and pastas have brominated flour. Carpets and new cars have bromide in them. Sea salt and kelp have bromides in them. The old Bromoseltzer was known to cause acute psychosis when taken by alcoholics. Bromine is just bad news for iodine (as well as fluorine and chlorine) because it can displace iodine. Iodine in large doses can push out fluoride, bromide and some heavy metals, such as mercury and aluminum. Anyone who gets fibrocystic disease is extremely deficient in iodine. Iodine is not a hormone but it is responsible for filtering pathogens from the blood and assisting hormones for production. When another halogen, such as bromide or fluoride attach to the receptors on the thyroid, we become hypothyroid, but the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels may not show it. If the TSH raises, it is usually due to heavy metals, mercury, copper, nickel. Many symptoms of disease are related to impaired thyroid and adrenals and mercury can cause them as well. http://www.lookgreat-loseweight-savemoney.com/adrenal-problems.html Putting a small pinch of Epsom Salts (ES) in your drinks throughout the day will help your body get both magnesium and sulfur for your ts. When you don’t get enough sulfur, your body will take it from your ts. ES will also act as a mild laxative so don’t overdo or it will cause intestinal pain/spasm and possible diarrhea. Sulphur combines readily with mercury, enabling the body to excrete it. You can use an organic form of sulphur called MSM, (methylsulphonylmethane), which is helpful for general health as well as binding with the mercury. It is also inexpensive, unlike some of the other chelators (DMSA, DMPS). One route of excretion will be through the kidneys, but because mercury can accumulate there and become toxic, you’ll need a two week cycle; an active week and a kidney clearance week. Use a quarter teaspoon of MSM crystals dissolved in a cup of warm water half an hour before breakfast each day for seven days, along with around eight glasses of filtered water a day, which is all that is required during an active week. During a kidney clearance week, take one multi-vitamin twice daily half an hour before meals and one capsule of potassium citrate three times daily with food, each for seven days. Potassium citrate is an excellent 'flusher'. DO NOT take the MSM during the kidney clearance week.

13

Hashimoto’s, Graves, or Hyperthyroidism If you have Hashimoto’s, Graves, or Hyperthyroidism, you should NOT take iodine until your selenomethionine levels are raised and until you’ve brought your vitamin D levels up to optimum range. Start off with 200 micrograms of Selenomethionine and NOT products marked as selenium! Selenium stops the peroxidase, which is what attacks the thyroid. Anyone with hyperthyroid, Hashimoto's or Graves is EXTREMELY deficient in iodine and very sensitive to supplementing. You can do a patch test by painting a drop on your skin to see if you have a reaction. However, you should be on selenomethionine AND gluten free for a couple of weeks to a month (or longer) before you try it and to get vitamin D levels into optimum range. IF YOU HAVE A SKIN REACTION TO IODINE, DO NOT TAKE IT YET. You have to get your D levels up to optimum first AND take selenomethionine for a few weeks. If you’ve already done that and still have a reaction, please use the form on this page to ask about it.

Amalgam Removal Protocol Mercury Facts: • Mercury is the most toxic non-radioactive element on earth. • A silver-colored mercury amalgam filling normally contains 52 percent mercury. • On average, amalgam fillings weigh 1 gram and contain 1/2 gram of mercury. • The typical adult carries 10 amalgam fillings containing 5 grams of mercury. Half a gram of mercury in a 10-acre lake would warrant issuance of a fish advisory.

It is extremely important that you follow the Huggins Protocol when getting rid of amalgams. However, if you cannot afford a Huggin’s approved dentist, try to keep with the information below.

14

• • • • • • • • •

Dentist should be IAOMT approved for mercury removal, dental dam, vac unit, etc. Never cross the midline separating our head, between the eyes in one appointment. Always take out the largest fillings first in that side of the head. Make sure the dentist cuts around the fillings and never through them, so that they can just pop them out. Make sure the composites are Metal Free, no aluminum. Never have an appointment on the same day as the others. This is the 7-14-28 rule. When getting root canal teeth pulled, make sure the dentist uses a burr to cut out the periodontal ligament and doesn't scrape it out. Scraping can push bacteria back into the bone. If having the dental bone cavitations cleaned, make sure that the dentist lets it bleed (about a teaspoon of blood) in order to form a good clot and that they don't use any vasoconstrictors. After cavitation cleaning, do not drive more than 3 miles within 24 hrs after cleaning.

A Huggin’s approved dentist will use 100 grams of IV vitamin C before and after treatments. Many people notice great improvements in physical and mental health after amalgams are removed. Dr. Hal Huggin’s does not suggest that everyone run out and have their amalgams removed. Reason? It can be more deadly to remove them than is worth doing. He does suggest that you get them removed over time, (following his protocol), and use the iodine protocol to reduce mercury toxicity in the meantime. You can listen to an interview with Dr. Huggin’s here: (approx. 30 minutes) http://www.oneradionetwork2.com/mp3/health/dental/huggins_hal_march_02.mp3 - get more information about Dr. Hal Huggin’s research: http://www.hugginsappliedhealing.com/ - the Huggin’s Protocol http://www.holisticdentalnetwork.com/protocols.php Back to TOC

Other Tooth Facts Dental decay is systemic. Always take out all of the larger negatively charged fillings first. The parotid gland in the cheek releases parotid hormone, which controls the flow of tooth circulation from the pulp chamber through the dentin, through the enamel of the tooth. Too low parotid hormone causes the tooth circulation flow to go in reverse causing tooth decay. Sugar causes low parotid hormone. Serum phosphorous levels indicate the balance of estrogen and testosterone in the endocrine glands. When serum phosphorous is below 3.6, there is dental decay. When serum phosphorous levels are corrected, (between 3.6 - 4.0), the flow of tooth circulation goes from the pulp chamber, to the dentin, to the enamel into the mouth and healthy cavity free teeth are the result. To stimulate the parotid gland, blood albumin (animal source protein) needs to be at least 4.6 grams per day, then globulin and BUN will be in the normal restorative function.

Minerals Needed: Magnesium Manganese Sodium Potassium Glutathione will bind to mercury and excrete it but mercury destroys the mechanism. Mercury goes to the thyroid in 4-7 minutes. A cavity will re-calcify if you eliminate all sugars from your diet. Teeth have either a positive or negative charge. Removing a negatively charged filling first regenerates the body. Removing a positively charged filling first causes degeneration, such as auto-immunity. Never cross the midline separating the face down the center when removing amalgams in one day. Because of the ‘7-day immune cycle’ successive treatments on

16

the same day of the week must be avoided, and an 8-day interval between amalgam clearance of each quadrant is recommended. Alternatively, all fillings can be removed during one session in the hospital, under general anesthesia if necessary. In 1975, amalgams became 50 times more toxic than the prior amalgams due to addition of copper. MS rates went from 4.2 to 58 per 100,000 people in 1975. Aggressively swishing 1/4 tsp. baking soda with 1/4 tsp. of Morton's pickling salt will help fix gum pockets. To keep from degenerating, we need >40 percent fat daily. Consume more solid fats like butter or coconut oil, not liquid oils. To prevent cavities and disease in general, keep blood albumin levels between 4.2 4.6. (Do this by eating more protein!)

It’s time to ask tough questions: What sane person would think it’s a good idea to put the 2nd most toxic substance (mercury) on the planet a couple inches away from the brain? And, why do they leave something dead and rotting (root canal tooth) in an area of the body that effects the entire body? Back to TOC

How to Maintain and Detoxify Your Body Your body was designed to naturally cleanse itself of impurities. Just like any other system, you need to maintain your detoxification system for it to work properly. Here are some steps you can take to help reduce heavy metals and their harmful effects in a very organic way: •

Eat more protein which helps supply essential amino acids used by the liver to create glutathione, a key antioxidant and detoxifying molecule.

•

Eat your veggies, particularly dark colored ones like broccoli, Brussel sprouts, and artichokes which also help build detoxifying molecules in the body. Chlorella is a form of algae known to have beneficial effects on removing toxins from the body.

•

Drink plenty of purified water and eat more fiber, which helps ensure normal bowel movements, and is important for removing heavy metals such as mercury.

•

Increase intake of antioxidants like Vitamin C, D, selenium, and B vitamins through diet or supplementation to counteract some of the most harmful effects of dangerous metals. Heavy metals in your body create numerous free radicals, which can damage DNA and increase your chances of getting cancer.

•

Use heat therapy to help sweat out toxins. A sauna works great or you can try using an infrared heating pad, which increases blood circulation.

•

To keep lymphatic drainage at a maximum and boost immunity, incorporate dry skin brushing into your daily routine.

How to Take Lugol’s 5% Solution (Manufacturer’s Directions) You can use Lugol’s in 2 ways: (1) As an external application or (2) In a drink

Do not use both. Choose one method or the other. 20

If the brown stain fades in 24 hours, it indicates that iodine is likely to be insufficient to normalize thyroid hormone production. Even if you take thyroid hormone orally, lack of iodine can prevent your body from functioning properly. When the faded brown stain is apparent after 24 hours, your thyroid will be able to function more normally. If you are taking thyroid hormone orally, you may be able to reduce the dosage over a period of several months, or eventually stop taking it. However, please seek medical advice to do this.

Methods of Application Use a glass dropper or small brush to apply the Lugol's Iodine solution to your upper thigh or lower abdomen in a 3" square patch. Apply as often as you notice that the iodine has absorbed and the skin looks clear. For instance, if absorption occurs within 2, 4, or even 12 hours, reapply iodine. In fact, reapply iodine whenever you notice clear skin. The object of the frequent applications is to accomplish the 24-hour slight stain as quickly as possible, rather than to continually apply iodine over several months. When you notice a faded brown stain after 12 hours, check the stain in another 12 hours. If your skin is clear after 24 hours, continue application once daily until the stain is apparent after 24 hours. When the faded stain is visible after 24 hours, discontinue application. This is an indication that your iodine levels are normalized. You could also take the solution in a drink but do not use both methods! An internal dose of Lugol's iodine is generally 1 or 2 drops in a glass of fruit juice, sipped throughout the course of a meal, however the dosage depends on your body weight. As a general guideline, if your weight is < 60kg, the recommended amount is 1 drop, taken daily with a meal. If you weigh > 60kg, the recommended dose is 2 drops. Re-check iodine absorption once per month. Repeat the process as above, if it fades in 24 hours or less. Caution: DO NOT use Lugol's Iodine solution if you have an overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism. Iodine treatment is used for an under active thyroid gland. If in doubt, see your doctors and get your thyroid hormone levels checked beforehand. Please note that there are indications when sufficient iodine has been taken. If the body is saturated with iodine, you will find that within 0.5 to 1.5 hours of drinking iodine, moisture will release (bead) from the nose. If this occurs, stop dosage for a period of 1 month.

Warning: Ten drops of Lugol's Iodine solution is more iodine than is needed. Excessive or continued use of a concentrated form of iodine may cause hyperthyroidism. Take ONLY as directed and take dosages according to your symptoms. Back to TOC

Practical Tips for Lugol’s 5% Solution The average Japanese person consumes 12.5 mg. of iodine daily from foods. 2 vertical drops or 1 horizontal drop of Lugol's 5% solution = 12.5 mg. (Most people use 1-4 drops of Lugol's per day.) Those who find major improvements will do as much as 8-16 drops per day. Iodine/iodide is out of the body within 24-48 hours. Some people feel that painting iodine on the skin is worthless because over 50 percent of it evaporates into the air. However, painting iodine does help remove moles, skin tags, psoriasis, and other skin anomalies. Those who are extremely sensitive to the toxins coming out when taking iodine, should start low and work up. Cancer patient’s protocol is 16 drops of Lugol’s 3 times per day along with the companion nutrients, PLUS vitamin D3 and pickling salt. Back to TOC

Much of the information in this ebook was given to me by someone who ed me through my site. He was interested in helping me and other people who suffer from livedo reticularis, a mottling of the skin. Because he helped me, I am now able to help you. How cool is that?

Many, many, many, many thanks to him! Live Long and Prosper! Best wishes always, Carolyn

Afterthoughts You may feel a bit hesitant ing the iodine protocol. Some of the products like iodine and borax haven’t been widely used for many years. However, they were products our parents depended on for many years until science ‘improved’ medicine and left those older, more reliable products out in the cold. It makes me wonder if we’ve gone too far? I mean, wasn’t modern medicine supposed to improve ‘quality of life’?

We’ve got medicines today that have huge lists of negative side effects, which creates a need for more medicines! Those medications have their own side effects that cause even more unwanted side effects. The cycle is toxic and non-ending once you start.

Furthermore, the ‘powers that be’ are trying to outlaw natural modalities because there’s no money in them. Doctors have become accustomed to ordering a barrage of medical tests today that are totally unnecessary yet we submit to them because society has been ‘dumbed down’. Hospitals have become big businesses that seem to be only interested in their bottom line. Heck, hospitals on TV! What the heck’s up with that?

In the US, most of the food bought at grocery stores is nothing but an illusion. Our government, in a misguided effort to end world hunger, has genetically modified many vegetables, grains, and some fruits. The human body wasn’t meant to digest GMO’s and they are causing a huge spike in cases of IBS.

They’ve added powerful steroids and antibiotics to meats and added genetically modified corn to cereals, breads, pasta’s, and most all processed foods, which only creates chaos in your body. Aspartame is another dangerous additive. It’s been secretly added to many dairy and low calorie products and it’s absolutely poisonous! This doesn’t even include high fructose corn syrup, fake honey, or yogurts that lack true probiotics, and the list goes on and on. Where is the REAL food? Look around! It’s hard to find! This certainly isn’t what mother nature intended!

We’ve got faster everything, yet we are all constrained for time. Most of us spend countless hours on social media or watch television shows that have no real meaning, which means we have less time for family and friends. We have rampant violence nationwide but pay little attention to mental health. We have more of everything that has less value. We can’t talk about many things that affect us today because it’s politically incorrect. We have allowed our government to laws that put ‘we the people’ in harms way. So how does suppression feel?

Seems to me, that it’s time to get back to the basics and live a simpler, more tangible life. Using natural therapies is but one way to get the help you need, without risking your life taking prescription drugs that contain harmful chemicals that only make you sick. The only way to make sure you’re around to see your grandbabies is to take the nutrients, vitamins, and other supplements your body needs to survive and thrive. It’s the one true way to counteract disease and illness today.
