Re: 250mcg to 130 000 mcg (0.25 - 130 mg), depending on who you trust... real nice range, huh? And yet another source says that 1100 mCg is the upper tolerable level.

You mean the FDA who says that things like Aspartame and sucralose are perfectly safe for the body, too?

Aspartame will mimic and cause MS symptoms (et al) and sucralose has been PROVEN to destroy up to 40% of the thymus gland and we're to trust our FDA (who also hasn't banned bromides, a proven carcinogen) from U.S.A.'s shelves even though it's banned in Canada, Europe and Japan as carcinogenic - you mean THAT FDA???

Please read up what Abraham, Flechas, Brownstein, and Miller have to say.

has some very good information on what Iodoral has done for people. It has Iodine AND potassium Iodide in it and MD Guy Abraham, who is in his 80's now, and who headed the Iodine Research Project, now gives lectures for other doctors needing to learn more about this needed element. He also takes 100mg, yes, mg, of Iodoral a day - a tablet form of Lugol's iodine, which is a combo of Iodine and potassium iodide.

My husband had a really bad lung infection. Anyone else would have needed to enter the hospital as bad as he was getting. He took 1000mg, YES, Milligrams, (NOT micrograms-mcg), every day for two weeks, when nothing else worked.

He kept taking it because of all the phlegm he was getting out.

He now takes 100mg of SSKI (saturated solution of potassium iodide) every night at bedtime with a packet of emergen-C and a selenimethionine tablet (for the companion nutrients the doctors talk about) and continues to improve his health.

You may wish to see the iodine supplementation forum here at curezone and read for yourself. Many BSA, RRR, RR, and R posts to be read first for anyone who needs more convincing.
