Thanks for sharing your story, burntmarshmalow, and good for you in finding iodine.
I was wondering, when you said "Three years before, I changed jobs and had started drinking tea every day instead of coffee, because it was easier." - so 3 years before, were you basically free of health problems, then as you drunk the tea the health problems appeared and got worse and worse? And nothing else had changed (like moving house, new water supply, new location, virus) that could have set off the health problems?
Just wondering! thanks - best of luck and look forward to sharing our Iodine experiences here.
