Re: Iodine & Candida ~ Dr. Orian Truss

Thanks wombat for posting this. I really believe that the strong Antibiotics that were given to me for a mono infection at ten years old are a big link to why I have been so sick for the last twenty two years. I have tried so hard to get better over the years, but it makes since that until I found iodine, I wasn't going to get anywhere. Now its still hard though because my body has been sick for so long, that I have to be careful with the Iodine since it can cleanse me too fast. I know I'm still in for a long journey to getting better, but I'm very hopeful I will make progress now.
Also, I am really so thankful for this forum, because I keep learning, and other people's stories are a big encouragement for me to keep going. I know this forum gets a lot of negativity thrown at it sometimes, but I hope wombat, trapper, and vulcanel will find it in them to keep going with it because I know all the information is making a huge impact in helping who knows how many people.

On another note, I told my dad about Iodine the other night. He has always been open to learning about natural medicines, and he often will do things I tell him about. But I think in the back of his mind he is always a little skeptical about it all, especially since he has seen me do everything in the world to be healthy for so many years, and I'm still so sick. But he said he would order the iodine. Then last night, he called all excited because he heard a doctor on the radio talking about americans being so deficient in Iodine and how the fda recommendation for iodine was severely too low. This was a Nashville, Tennessee doctor---Dr. Asa Andrews. My husband and I are in Florida right now with his job, but we leave to go back home next week, and Nashville, Tennesse is our home, so I'm excited to get back because I want to go see this doctor and get some testing done----hopefully an iodine loading test too. And my dad I can tell is even more excited about the iodine now. Even though he feels good and has loads of energy-----(he is sixty six), when he sits down to watch tv or something, his head will shake. I'm not sure what that means, but he has always worked around chemicals, and even though like I said, he feels good and seems healthy, I know he could have a lot of toxins build up that could start causing him a of problems.
Thanks again for this information, and all the good information and testimonies on this forum!
