It's funny (not haha) coming upon this thread this morning in lieu of the discussion hubby and I JUST had this morning...

He told me his cousin's wife just passed away from Breast Cancer (and after a double mastectomy quite a while back, I might add). She was just a year older than we are.

I boo-hooed all over him about the da_n medical establishment and people's choices, but he gently (and with much care) reminded me about free will. I WAS spiking his tea with Iodine and just yesterday I felt led to stop because of HIS free will. He didn't know and I'm glad I stopped - because perhaps his life is meant to be lived withOUT it. He did tell me, after all, (after a discussion about his not wanting to take it) that he's a "big boy" and can make "his own decisions" and he DOES allow me to "paint" his external "owies" with Iodine - he just doesn't want to take it internally and I MUST respect that. Yes, I was driven by emotions mainly because I got so sick and tired of him complaining ALL the time about how sick and tired he is of being sick and tired all the time!

Anyhoo, he is old enough to take care of himself.

HOWEVER, children are too young to take care of themselves when it's Mom's decision as to what goes into her children's bellies. I am quite thankful that hubby does not fight me on this one. Unfortunately we disagree on innoculations and insists our child gets them. Not all of them, mind you, like the most recent one "just" for young girls and the flu shot, but he does insist she gets the ones for school, but I digress...sigh.

I'm thankful he doesn't fight me on giving her the iodine/iodide!

As far as the garden and the chickens' water, I would say that the "iodine decision" is up to the person responsible for those things!

it's known that Iodine in the abscence of selenium can lead to peroxidative thyroid damage

so people who want to slip their loved ones an Iodine mickey should probably also slip them lots of selenium too

and also make sure they do some salt flushes like the type recommended by dr. shevin.

make sure the symporters are in good condition too, using methods recommended by Guy Abraham MD.


Just think how bad a person would feel, who was secretly dosing someone with Iodine in the absence of these and other known necessary "companion nutrients", and six months down the road their "loved one" develops a problem from a damaged thyroid or kidney ???? What then ?

I'd guess yes

You are in an interesting situation, and certainly no one wants to watch a person they love kill themselves

It may be your karma saying the road is dividing at such a degree as your taking another road altogether, alone
