Hey old buddy - you are barking up the wrong tree on this one. It is not just Mia Spidina, the Iodiners, or any other single group at work here - his ideas and practices are too often just plain wrong and his background highly suspect. He has only himself to blame.
I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, though I had disagreements from the start. Now, after all the hogwash, personal attacks on other members, bogus and wrong information, edited posts and more, there is no way I would recommend anyone go to that forum - though I try for the most part to stay out of the fray.
Holy cow - did I just defend Mia? And I thought you and I were strange bedfellows!

Oh bull-loney old dog! You just like sinking your fangs in Mia's butt. Maybe it is because she has shown it too many times - I know I have had more than a couple of bites myself. But Charlie has gone beyond the realm of being defensible.
It isn't about compatible philosophies or personalities, nor is it about old grudges real or imagined. First and foremost CureZone is about healing and information - or it should be. Popularity and schmoozing did not doom Charlie - he did it to himself.
With his insupportable positions on the benefits of minerals, grocery store produce being as beneficial and safe as organic, using tap water for his potions, failure to reveal ingredients, misleading background information, attacks on other members, changing members posts to mis-represent what they said, and much, much more, Charlie has revealed himself to be a bad source of information and healing and his forum has become an embarassment.
Now be serious, Serius - you dang well KNOW that I tried to hang with him at first, even though disagreeing in some areas. But I just couldn't keep it up after all the wrong and mule headed opinions and the way he behaved. And if you are honest about it, neither should you be able to.
Don't dispair - there is no limit to legitimate targets left for you to chew on. I might even help some of time. Woof!

Well DQ,
I've gotten more then my fair share of canine marks on my little heiny from my sparring partner 2S. It took a few rounds of Lugol's to heal em up, plus a parasite cleanse just to be on the safe side.
I didn't realize you were such a herbalist my contrarian friend. Silver and oleander have both been used by natural healers for thousands of years. Oleander dates back at least 5000 years. Kind of predates the allopaths of the last 150 years by a wee bit.
You're just an old alpha dog with a thorn in your paw (or somewhere else) and determined to snap and bite at anyone who comes near. I've taken up for your mangy butt too many times for you to start taking nips at me - so go lick your wounds and behave!

These single devices, contrary to those promoting them, do nothing to correct or stabalize an imbalanced immune system or terrain
Wrong - those single devices destroy pathogens and boost the immune system to enable the body to heal itself and become balanced again. You might take a better look around and see that some of those who are promoting them also promote the idea of embracing a healthy lifestyle, diet and nutrition. If one does not do that, then I will agree with you that such devices are used more like allopathic medicine - and the same would be true for any number of herbs, including those in say, a liver tonic.
Even so, unlike allopathic medicine, there has been no observed serious side effect from either silver or oleander when properly prepared and administered.

Not so unfounded to the many people whose lives have been saved. Silver is a trace mineral found in nature (so is iodine for that matter) and oleander is a plant. Antibiotics are largely concocted in the labs of Big Pharma and come laden with side effects.
No doubt a healthy lifestyle plays a big part in the success of many natural protocols and supplements and I too would recommend a healthy lifestyle over the longterm use of ANY supplement, although some conditions (such as having had cancer or having HIV) might make it wise to continue supplementation at a lesser preventive rate.
A healthy lifestyle alone has not proven successful in beating or managing HIV and in today's world of increased toxins and depleted soils is proving less and less effective by itself in overcoming cancer and preventing its return.
Woof? Feeling your oats or is that fleas?
