Some of you know me, some maybe read my posts and know my obsession with iron added to all our flour products, Ferrous Sulfate. I have a different enemy now, this time I am sure my enemy will become yours as well. Because this is what leads to ms.
But first thing’s first, my daughter who has ms. She is doing fine, no symptoms of ms what-so-ever. Nothing. We went to Europe for few weeks in the summer and she was doing well even on a bad diet there. No problem with flying, no side effects except little running nose. Me too. This is also the first year without eczema on my hands. No earaches during landing. Less heat intolerance for my daughter. So things are going good. But I finally found the connection to my Ferrous Sulfate and the trigger for ms. Grab a popcorn.
.Lets start with the running nose. I started giving my daughter Zyrtec for it because I’ve read that histamine actually can make the blood vessels and the brain/blood barrier more permeable. After taking that Zyrtec, she was doing exceptionally well and the nose stopped running.
I’ve done a lot of reading, a lot of research from vaccines to carb digestion but most importantly I finally found a remarkable connection between my enemy – Ferrous Sulfate and something else in your body. Something also very important because this is I think this thing maybe what triggers ms. I made this connection because I started having pain, severe pain in my kidneys area and no test was showing anything wrong. I started having these pains on and off since last year but the last couple of months were the worse. Especially after the vacation.
The pain started around the right kidney area and spread out all the way to the pituitary gland. It affected the right side only, upper right of the abdomen, on my neck, throat, sometimes I had difficulty swallowing, right eye, gums, ear and ended precisely on the pituitary gland. Milk Thistle and Glycine supplement were only things that helped me sleep without pain.
One day I started reading about my blood pressure medicine, Diovan and what it does and discovered that it holds potassium in the body. So I thought it might be too much potassium. But potassium is good and sodium is bad so I couldn’t get it. I decided to put some salt in the water and drink it. All that pain was gone. I added only ¼ tsp. of sea salt to a glass of water and sipped it throughout the day, followed up by a regular water. No pain. And this is how it all came together.
Diovan messes up the adrenal glands by holding potassium and therefore removing sodium. Adrenals, especially aldestorone is responsible for regulating the electrolytes. The medicine suppresses aldestorone. So the problem I am having is with adrenals. But adrenals are connected to the pituitary gland and thyroid so I must have some issues with them as well.
I tried this salt cure on my both dogs. One was always allergic to vaccines and was very weak and getting sick a lot and the other is over 16 year old and has thyroid problem but is allergic to the medicines so she could not take them and was very lethargic. Not anymore. The sea salt started giving life to all of us. So, everyday we just take little bit of sea salt with water and we are doing great. My under eye bags have disappeared, wrinkles on my neck are almost invisible, cellulite is dimple-less, we are full of life and we don’t need that Zyrtec anymore. It seems the sea salt is a pretty good antihistamine.
My daughter runs every other day, doesn’t have any muscle problems while everyone in her class does. This is incredible. The salt actually turned out to not to be bad for us. In fact the opposite is true, salt is very good for all of us, no matter the disease.
But of course I started worry that now we are not going to get enough iodine so I bought iodized sea salt. And everybody felt kind of sick. Not good. My daughter said, she couldn’t breathe after run.
So, on to another research, why salt is good and iodine makes us sick? If anything we have hypothyroidism so it should be okay. But it is not because? High doses of iodine in hypothyroid people will make them temporarily hyperthyroid? Hyperthyroidism causes some sort of oxidative stress. So none of it is good. You need the iodine and can’t get it because it will make you sick anyway. A diet high in salt then will make us sick because of the iodine in it. Just like milk. Milk has a lot of iodine in it. That’s why people are feeling sick. But normal sea salt, non iodized salt is wonderful.
There is only one explanation; a connection to Ferrous Sulfate. For your information low thyroid and low ferritin go hand in hand. The thyroid needs iron to work. So I think it’s the amount of iodine in a diet high in sodium that makes things bad for us.
The ferritin stores ferrous iron, or non heme iron, vitamin c helps with iron absorption, I cannot take vitamin c and neither is my daughter. My daughter has ms and I don’t. My ferritin is normal and hers is low. Then why am I feeling worse than her?
There is only one explanation, the ferrous iron or non heme iron and the thyroid malfunction go together. Once you lose the iron you get ms, when you have more iron you are only hypothyroid. Something in my body controls these two much better while in her body the control system is broken.
Perfect example are pregnant women with ms. No symptoms while pregnant because the iron levels are high. Once they have the baby they bleed and when the iron stores go down they start having symptoms.
So, to control ms you need to control ferrous and iodine. I believe these two things don’t work together well. The iodine in salt and bread and regular milk is added, it’s not regular iodine. I think it’s called potassium iodide.
Stay away from that thing because there is a possibility that the iron itself maybe not bad unless it comes with contact with potassium iodide. That is when it oxides. We are drinking now raw milk but I have to still contact the company and ask if they add anything to it.
I was surprised to learn than all the things that makes us unhealthy, table salt, breads, milk all contain the added iodine. Another fake thing that masquerades as the real one. The Ferrous Sulfate may not be bad by itself after all.
The only thing left now is to figure out which is the chicken and which is the egg and which comes first. In the meantime, don’t be afraid of salt, take baths, drink it and enjoy life. You are going to feel so much better. Just avoid the iodized salt, milk and slowly start adding healthy iodine to your diet. If you do happen to eat foods that have the iodide added, then eat iodine antagonists: broccoli, cabbage, soy etc... They will prevent absorption of it.
My daughter loves protein drink that has soy in it. She doesn’t like the whey protein drink. Now I understand why. The added (fake) iodine in it is not absorbed because the soy takes care of it.
This is also why people who live by the ocean don't get ms. Or the Japanese, who eat a lot of normal not fake iodine. The puzzle finally starts coming together.
Iodine is very important for you and you need it but for now take only iodine in small amounts from natural foods to prevent the oxidative stress in your thyroid and brain that will make you feel worse. Balanced diet is important here, eat a lot of fish. Taking Selenium will also help with the oxidative stress in your thyroid. You will also need some vitamins to absorb more iodine from foods, Vitamin E, B vitamins (maybe the folic acid is not that bad either if you take the real iodine and not the fake one), or the B12 won’t have to be sub lingual to absorb it if you don’t consume bad iodine. And Jimmy, you always wondered why your zinc was low, this is why. Zinc is needed here a lot! (You’re welcome.
)I have a lot of links maybe around 170 so I have to go through them and paste some over here. But I wanted you to know this as soon as possible so you can prevent more disease from hurting you. Happy trails.
