Re: point #4
There's a web page written by a young man in NYC who told about his 'adventures' as he put it, in supplementing with
SSKI & Magnascent.(and he mentioned you, trapper.) Of all the articles, both anecdotal and scientific, his made the most sense, from a scientific standpoint,(I'm not an MD or Ph.D, just another seeker of health.)in regards to halides and xenoestrogens causing disruption of the endocrine system.
I'm 63, with low libido, ED,(since 2009), hypothyroidism(1994) and depression(all my life)and since 2005, bipolar. I've been experimenting on myself since I was in my early 20s and now I've added
Iodine after desiccated thyroid, along with other forms of thyroid medication, failed to restore thyroid function(and reverse aforementioned problems).
Right now, feel more dead than alive but I know there's an answer and using Lugol's, I hope, will, in time, reboot my poorly functioning body.
