If iodine is causing acne, then why after continued supplementation, and even when I increased my dosage to get rid of FBD, did I not have any acne, particularly if the acne is caused by excess iodine being excreted through the skin?
The easiest way to explain this is with a different example. Ibuprofen is a pain reliever but a side effect of ibuprofen is pain. Antidepressants can cause depression. Chemotherapy can cause cancer............. Will these drugs cause these side effects in every person taking them? Of course not. And as I have pointed out a number of times iodine will not cause acne in everyone. Only in SOME individuals. If everyone reacted the same to substances then things would be so much easier. Everyone could eat the same things. We could use the same medications or herbs on everyone, etc. But that is not reality.
