Oddly, the critics of Iodine supplementation, early on in the forum's existence, predicted we'd all make ourselves ill, die, or our peckers would fall off. We're alive and kicking, never felt better, while the detractors have apparently gone mad. :) I was myself "afraid" of Iodine for a long time, until one day I took the plunge and did four 500mg doses one hour apart. At that moment I realized what the medical people are preaching, negatively about iodine, is a lie, either unintentional out of ignorance, or calculated deceit. Either way, I want no part of those bozos' shenanigans.
