Just wondering, why not try the Lugol'sIodine 5% soulution? If not ingested, maybe start with some painting? Iodine does much more than just help they thyroid.
I myself love the raw foods diet, and I try to stay at least 75% raw each day, with fresh fruit and or green juices. I do eat some little bit of cooked foods, but right now for brunch I'm having a banana, raspberry, strawberry smoothie with 1 T of good quality plain vanilla yogurt.
