"What I am doing in this forum is trying to figure out if Iodine is a valid treatment for candida."
not in my experience.
however, i trust grizz. grizz's story makes sense. he had everything else he needed to fix his problem except idoine. therefore, Iodine DID cure HIS candida. he has his cure, why should he care about the rest of you yokels?
iodine is as safe as water and makes everything work right just as effectively and essentially as water. to try to correct any health problem without it is like trying to play cards while blind. it can be done but you will need a lot more help and a ton more time.
