Yes I agree.

Without discounting the successes reported by a *few* people, there are a few issues at play here.

One is that a lot of the Iodine people are - shall we say - overly enthusiastic, to the point of being zealots. RED FLAG.

Another issue is the claim that we need excess Iodine to detoxify certain poisons. I have no doubt that this is a workable strategy, but it is not the best. There are better methods out there to detoxify entire ranges of toxins, not just the sellect few that Iodine targets.

Ozone is one of these methods and V repeatedly posts false information about ozone without having tried it and without having performed proper clinical research. He is entitled to his opinion of course but the vast amount of evidence points to his being wrong to the extreme. This is a classic example of the old saying 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing' - where he thinks that because he understands basic chemistry that he can extrapolate to all areas of health.

When he is pushed beyond his comfort zone he falls back into this otherworldly grandiose nonsense which in my mind just solidifies the observation that a lot of these people are unstable.

Iodine just like every other isolated nutrient. It's part of the larger picture and not a magic bullet. Everything has to be taken in balance and moderation.

Also take into account that one of the forum moderators has a financial interest in selling product. I don't care how much hot air he blows, when money in involved no one can ever be objective.

Another false claim made by the uneducated is that iodine will detoxify mercury. This is plain false, and there is no evidence anecdotal or otherwise to support this claim.

All that said, it's a good thing to supplement because most of us are deficient in a wide array of minerals.
