I found this interesting. A few little blurbs from this International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders:
UK slips to iodine deficiency: national assessment
Western Europe, North America and Australia had all been thought iodine-sufficient due to widespread use of iodized table salt. While U.S. surveys show marked decline, Australia discovered a significant deficiency

Found more info: 1000 mcg daily is usually ok. Iodized salt is the usual way Americans get iodine.
So when I cut out the Sad food, that meant I cut out the iodized salt, too. And then went from probably 300+mcg daily to basically nearly zero.
And that's when I got cold suddenly.
So if I eat just a little but of sea vegetables every day or every few days, my body temp should go back t

Ok so I just read about too much iodine... So maybe I could eat sea vegetables every other day or so? Is every day ok I wonder...

What happens if I overdo the iodine? How much is too much? Can I juice cranberries and eat kelp without having to watch out for too much iodine?

Update:
Well I went off of 80-10-10 and went back to nuts and seeds. Thanks to a lot of the good advice on this board, I got some sea vegetables into my diet as well.
And I feel good again!
I havent lost a single pound. Still at the same weight. But I look better, and I feel like a million bucks. My mood is more stable, and my stomach isnt wobbly anymore.

Wow. I thought I needed to eat living natural foods to get well and be healthy, but no. I need this special amneo-vortex-phyto-excretion that you special order in a glass vial. Huh.

So I was thinking, "My my, Miss Information, my info's all out of whack." So I scroogled "low stomach acid" and I found a lot of things, including a site that says about 40% of older adults suffer from low stomach acid, and that betaine-containing foods can help.
On this site:

So since all that being cold on raw food business and Powerlifer suggesting that it was low iodine that was the culprit...
my mom (who I got to go raw, YAHOO) and I were talking about iodine. She told me that she has a high TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) on her bloodworks, and so do I. She also told me that our family has a history of goiter.
Bingo!
And we got to looking into natura

Does Matt Monarch remember what clam chowder really actually does taste like anymore? I mean he's been 100% raw, and not a poser, for so long.

Ok I tried the seaweed, and that DID help.
What helped the most was drinking as much water as my stomach could hold a few times.
Sore throat gone!!!!!!!
I was getting ready to gargle white willow bark tea. Glad I didnt have to do that.

thats what im saying, it isnt a cold. It's detox. I was wondering if theres any like, secret of the pro's here.
Sounds like water and rest is the best advice anyones got?
I'm going to try to create some kind of trick to get pain relief from this, because if there's one thing I just can't stand, its a sore throat. Anything but a sore throat.

I have sore throat and post nasal drip. I'm not sick with "something" either. Do any of you have any secret remedies on this, or is it just bed and orange juice and tea with lemon.

That is an example of exactly why I went raw in the first place. It was compelling to me in the beginning of discovering how to go raw, how everybody who ate raw food looked like a greek god, and its always these

It took me 5 years to be serious about raw food on a daily basis, and once I committed to raw, it took me 9 months or so to transition to 90%+
The only difference between winning and losing on this one is to never give up. If you mess up, you go right back to it. It is worth it, it is worth it, it is worth it!!!!

On a more positive note,
What this shows is that when you get healthy, you never really lose your character.
People come to think of healthy people as boring. They come to think of vegans and raw foodists as washed out, pale, tired, distant versions of themselves with little pasty smiles, all spaced out and "happy" all the time.
