I think the Iodine doctors are guilty, as most everyone else is (including yours truly), of saying "iodine" when they mean "iodine/iodide blend" .. in the case of when they are talking about Lugol's/Iodoral. And I haven't read anything from the Iodine doctors on SSKI . This is most unfortunate because many people would probably handle SSKI very nicely and perhaps give up on Lugol's/Iodoral due to detox symptoms. Even if SSKI doesn't yield all the benefits of Lugol's/Iodoral it is surely a worthy substitute in this case.
