I've had some great successes, including a young woman who was slated to have her thyroid removed, Convinced her to try iodine, then a couple of months later, the surgery plans were shelved when her thyroid function numbers came back so good. That is the case I am most proud of. OTOH, I have found it impossible to help sufferers that have a connection to the medical industrial complex - especially a financial one. They just won't listen, it's like they are brainwashed to believe that the only folks that can help them are those wearing a white coat with their ineffective expensive 'treatments'. It's profoundly sad.
