It never hurts to try iodine!

If your body needs it then your body will let you know...start slow and if Iodine gives positive feeling, then yes, your body needs it, if you feel wierd, sick or off then back away and try something else.

I think it is safe to start with any form, but I prefer natural organic sources. Personally, I believe atomic Iodine is the safest form if you want to go the drug route, but the most natural form is a kelp supplement and that is the best source!!!

Be well

I posted this in the FAQ under "what ailments...", regarding Candida. Maybe it will help you.

"Most people who do not regularly eat seafood (either fish or kelp) or use iodized salt have some degree of Iodine deficiency; this can also occur as a result of a low-salt diet. These individuals may become hypothyroid and hypometabolic, because Iodine is an essential ingredient in thyroid hormone. At the same time they may become more sensitive to yeast infections, due to inactivity of the myeloperoxidase enzyme, which uses Iodine in cell mediated immune function. The iodine is used by this enzyme to product iodine-free radicals which are part of the cellular anti-yeast “free radical artillery”. (3) Previous to the use of nystatin as an antifungal drug, iodine therapy was successfully used to treat yeast infections; however, one must be very careful with the dosage. People who are sensitive to various foods and chemicals are frequently intolerant to iodine and should only use it in very low dosages."

I personally take Lugol's and have had some miracles with it. For candida on my face I would soak a Bounty paper towel in Colloidal Silver and put it on my face several times a day for at least 6-10 minutes. Iodine can be taken internally, as it is also effective against candida.
