Stalagmight,
You are correct. Mr. HV was indeed a wealth of good information. He was articulate and convincing. He was the very best at debating any subject.
His only problem was that it was HIS WAY or the highway. He could not accept opposing views, and sometimes he was dead wrong, as in the case for iodine. He CRUSHED anyone who disagreed with him. That is why he was banned from the Curezone. He was also banned at Marks Daily apple and another site for the same reasons.
I am a strong believer in Optimal pH, and so is Dr. Brownstein.
Dr. Brownstein wants pH to be between 6.5 and 7.2 so that we can absorb the supplements we are taking. If pH is too low, we cannot absorb the supplements we take, including iodine. See this for more: http://tinyurl.com/Iodine-PH-Levels
