New Treatment for Fibromyalgia

I attended a support group for Fibromyalgia today with a couple of friends. Each month our support group focuses on a new topic of treatment. This month's topic was about the supplement Iodoral. I have to say that I have heard of many treatments, supplements, and therapies. Only one other treatment, the one we currently use (guaifenesin), has given me as much hope as this particular supplement has. It claims to treat MANY ailments.

Quote from Natural Healing website:
" Some other medical conditions associated with iodine deficiency are goiters, Graves' Disease, Hashimoto's Disease, fatigue and impaired immune system function. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy can lead to miscarriages and reduced IQ in surviving offspring. The World Health Organization says that iodine deficiency is the largest single cause of mental retardation. Iodine also detoxifies the body by removing mercury, fluorides, chlorides, and bromides."

Quote from Vitamin Research Products:
"Iodoral is an inorganic, non-radioactive form of iodine. Iodine is the safest of all trace minerals and studies have shown it may be necessary for the production of every hormone in the body and for proper immune system function."

The studies show that there has been a drastic decline in Iodine in American culture over the past 40 years and drastic increase in cancer and other illnesses like autoimmune system dysfunction (FMS and CFS). There is a belief that the sudden "new" diagnosis of FMS and CFS could be linked to Iodine deficiencies.

There is so much more to share on this subject. The meeting was 2 hours long. I asked the presenter to forward me her PowerPoint presentation, which I plan to upload to this blog when I get it. At the meeting there were a couple of people who have already started taking Iodoral and said they have felt immediate results with increased energy. One woman has gone off her thyroid medications. No one at the presentation is affiliated with anyone selling the product.

If you know of anyone with Fibromyalgia, fatigue, thyroid, cancer, etc. Have them check back here as I will be posting more information as I get it. Here are some websites mentioned at the meeting I attended:

Dr. David Brownstein - Holistic Family Medicine (Check out his book - "Iodine - Why You Need It")
Optimox - Iodoral supplement information
Breast Cancer Choices - Iodoral supplement information (I ordered from this website)
How to Use Iodoral - List of symptoms that Iodoral helps

I will also post back as we start taking the supplement.

  2. We no longer take Iodoral. After taking this supplement for a few months I started having Kidney Stones. I passed two stones before finding out that the stones were Potassium stones. Iodoral has a VERY high amount of Potassium. I stopped taking Iodoral and have not had any more kidney stones.

    Beware!
