hi hope, just thought i would add.at the beginning of your Iodine adventure there is a tendency to be very sensitive , with all your senses especially feelings not just vision and hearing. I got booted off over a year ago because I misunderstood people and thought they were making fun of me and got really p'od and said some mean things! In retrospect I was detoxing and very sensitive, you will find the most helpful people in the world here. Of course you have to research your own needs and what to expect on iodine. However, most people understand this is an immense LOG and sometimes you get lost in the info. Sometimes you just have to step back and try again and just be objective and ask yourself is this real animosity or I am being detoxy?
