point #4

4. For the 1/3rd of people (including myself) who experience no subjective response to Iodine supplementation, AND who start out with no significant fatigue or other difficulty, I think that it is likely that they are genetically well-adapted to a low intake of iodine, and high levels of supplementation are not necessary;

i disagree with his analysis and conclusions.

though there may be a genetic component, it is more likely that environment is the true cause of the differences in the clinical presentations from individual to individual. environmental pressures create all sorts of changes in biochemistry. the "fact" that a third have no discernible difference from taking Iodine tells me that this is the reach of the current level of chemical attack. i would bet a beloved body part that this is not genetics.

the way i see it, these are people who have been caught in time to prevent the damage of long term Iodine deficiency. when i get people telling me they cant tell any difference they are usually young people. the problem then is to keep them taking it. they have no idea whats in store for them if they dont.

a minimum of 100mg per day is essential for the prevention of halogen imbalance syndrome. a person may be working in a little store for ten years and doing fine. then they get a job in the business offices and a brand new building full of all manner of nasty chemicals(fresh and outgassing). it can take years for all those toxins to accumulate and the the body to adjust biochemically. ten years later and no iodine the person now has Breast Cancer from lack of iodine and the chemical triggers of formaldehyde and flame retardants, commercial cleaners, etc.

and a footnote here:

"1. If, on supplemental iodine, there are positive changes in well-being, the dose that maintains that improvement is probably in the 1/2 to 1 tablet daily range, and after several months on iodine supplementation, most people would maintain that improvement for months to years even if they stopped supplementation;"

remember when we started this forum and had our battle with one certain herb guru here? i said at the time that the man had no business condemning something that he had done himself - TO GREAT AND LASTING BENEFIT! Tweet
