this issue has been manufactured out of whole cloth. there is no such thing as condemning of taking low amounts of Iodine on the supplementation forum. exactly the opposite has occured. those who were using high amounts of Iodine were condemned. people using all amounts and ways of application are on the VWT and are welcome contributors.

same is true with types of iodine. people using all types of Iodine are on the supplementation forum.

this forum(the dissident/support) was formed at the request of ana. the owners of the other forum had no knowledge there would even be another forum until it magically appeared after we were given the reins. we figured that any dissenting to iodine supplementation could be done on the debate forum, as is done throughout all the rest of curezone. apparently ana didn think so and the Webmaster concurred.

people are feeling alienated from the original forum because they want to. this happens on all forums. the reason a new forum was ok'd in this case is a direct result of the enormity of the issue of iodine and the sheer number of people following the subject. its like hardy's building next to burger king. what better place to put a burger joint than where people are already going to seek burgers.

so to those who want to demonize me and my colleagues, i have this to say: without us there would be nothing to talk about at all.

the iodine supplementation forum is privately run, not a private club with special membership. all who do not wish to be a disruptive factor are more than welcome, they are encouraged to join in. all concerns are addressed there, all questions carefully considered and answered to the best of each posters ability. i am glad there is the iodine support forum for everyone else.
