Yes, iodine is EXTREMELY controversial.

Prior to WWII it was not controversial at all, it was THE main medicine used for nearly everything in dosages up to 2 grams.

It was just as effective then as it is now at curing disease, not just "treating" disease as they do now with drugs.

Anti-iodine forces have lined up to fight against iodine in order to promote the vastly more profitable drugs being sold by Big Pharma.

In order to settle this dispute for yourself, you need only determine 3 questions.

1) Is iodine required by every cell in our body? Yes or No

2) If Yes, then how much and what kind?

3) WHY is iodine required by every cell in our body?

Honest answers to these questions are hard to find because they are buried under TONS of controversy. The Curezone VWT Iodine Forum has been discussing these issues for years.

You can verify my answers by searching the internet and focusing only on QUALIFIED doctors: Doctors Abraham, Brownstein, Cousens, Flechas, Derry, Davis, & Tenpenny. You can review most of their source documents Here: http://tinyurl.com/Iodine-Reading

Here are my quick answers to save you the trouble:

1) Is iodine required by every cell in our body?
Yes !
- there is an iodine receptor in every cell in our body. Unfortunately, the toxins of Fluoride, Bromide & chlorine will also be attracted into our cells to make us sickly.

2) If Yes, then how much and what kind?
Lugols Iodine was developed over 125 years ago to cure disease. It contains both iodine AND iodide which are both required in different organs:

Iodide (SSKI) is preferred by the following:
* Lungs
* Thyroid needs 3% prefers iodide
* Skin needs 20% and prefers iodide
* Salivary Glands prefer iodide

Iodine (Lugols) is preferred by the following:
* Muscles (650mg) and fat needs(700mg iodine) 70%
* Breast tissue needs 3-5 mg / day minimum and prefers iodine
* Prostate prefers iodine
* Stomach prefers iodine
* Ovaries prefer iodine
kidneys, spleen, liver, blood, & intestines can use either form

The entire body stores 1500 mg 1.5 gm total
* Dr Brownstein Recommended supplements = Lugols Liquid or iodoral 12 or 50 mg caps
At the curezone we have discovered that 100mg a day is optimal to start with and for maintenance. If you suffer any disease such as asthma, then up to 1 gram of SSKI is required.

3) WHY is iodine required by every cell in our body.
- Iodine is used by our immune system to kill cancer cells, defective cells, fungus, bacteria & virus. Iodine is THE BIG GUN in our immune system.

There you have it, If you don't supplement with at least 50 mg a day of Lugols or iodoral, then sooner or later you WILL become sickly. Especially if you are female.

Men don't begin suffering iodine deficiency until age 40, when prostate, ejaculation, & erectile dysfunction begins. Iodine is required by the testes to produce Testosterone. Cure erectile dysfunction with iodine!

Women suffer with hormonal problems from iodine deficiency as well. Their ovaries require iodine to produce female hormones.

I recommend that everyone read this book: The Iodine Crises: What you don't know about Iodine Can Wreck you Life. It is also available for Nook & electronic download at Amazon.Com.
