Hi George - Glad you are having some positive effects from Optimox. From what I remember, it took a while to notice results... at least it did for my enlarged thyroid. The dose that I continue to use is the 12.5mg by Klaire Labs, but it appears they have discontinued that product so I may have to experiment. (Sigh).

Thanks Susan & Jackie! A couple of months ago, I finally got Brownstein's iodine book. Turns out the most recent editions are not available on Amazon, but from him: I'd never been able to really understand iodine: too much or too little. I've taken modest amounts for a long time, with iodized sea salt (turns out poor bioavailability) and spirulina. I first started w

Some public water suppliers still contain flouride, indeed minimal amounts of it are almost always there, but some still add flouride in, "healthy" amounts. Here's a list of CA entities that include flouride in their water: Most toothpaste has it added, too, in "healthy" quantities. The list of possible side effects is pretty broad. <;

In the states, Arrowhead Water company (they make home deliveries) offers 5 gallon water with fluoride added. We all drank it when our kids were young hoping it would help their teeth. I can’t say if it contributed to my afib or affected my thyroid tests because we stopped the service decades ago. I’m surprised they still sell it.

Thank you for the link/heads-up Susan! My first AF came with hyper thyroid and later turned into a slightly hypo. I take 50 micrograms of Eutroxsig/day. That keeps my TSH and T3 at ok levels. I've also had no drinking water from the tap for about 3 years now (ours is laced with Fluoride and of course it its chlorinated a little). It has been clear for a very long time that Fluoride is inte

Re: Reverse Osmosis water - 6 years ago

Lance - Also... Reverse Osmosis does not remove fluoride...so that's a big negative. This was detailed in the fluoride post based on the interview with Dr. David Kennedy and his details about the health risks of fluoridation. Distilled water definitely has all other elements removed and it tends to be acidic if I recall correctly...so that can be a negative as well. There are a

Re: Toothpaste - 6 years ago

One of the things that helps eliminate or reverse the sensitive teeth problem is alkalizing regularly with the magnesium bicarbonate water (WW), so your system remains continually at an alkaline pH... versus acidic... if your oral tissue and saliva is acidic, then that erodes enamel near the cemento-enamel junction..

Lisa - Baking soda is not too abrasive. It just feels that way. It does not harm the enamel and is often included in "natural" toothpaste formulas. Used plain, it's certainly economical and does a great job of neutralizing oral over-acidity. Always read labels to be sure there is no fluoride. Also avoid SLS - sodium lauryl sulfate.

What is a good toothpaste for us? I haven't used a toothpaste with fluoride since my parents foisted it on me in Jr. High. I bought Colgate powder then, out of my allowance. Baking soda is too abrasive to use all the time , so I'm looking for a brand that works better than a toothbrush alone, and won't trigger an episode.

Alex... there is an abundance of previous posts on the risks of using fluoridated..."anything" and especially toothpaste as it's a high concentration that is easily absorbed quickly via oral mucosal tissues. You may remember that I am a retired dental hygienist who was brainwashed in college and requisite ongoing continuing education that fluoride is important for everyone.

Hi Liz - I'm really sorry to read your ongoing woes and the fracture involvement. Keep in mind that a fracture takes time to heal. Bone pain can be intense.
