except for the name calling, i agree wholeheartedly.
some solid truths:
1. iodine makes everything work better.
2. the more intense the reaction to iodine at first, the more it is indicated.
as dr mark starr points out, both hypo and hyper thyroid conditions get their start with lack of iodine. iodine supplementation must be part of the cure. the adverse reactions in hyper and hashi patients are temporary.
there is another highly misinformed person posting on the little iodine forum and saying its taking them months to get the poison iodine out. they couldnt be farther from the truth. iodine is gone in 24 hours. all that person did is stir up the halogens and heavy metals with iodine and then stop, leaving them exposed. i have no doubt they are both miserable and clueless.
