Do you think the high-dose Iodine is effective because it's acting as a saturation-based anti-viral/parasitic/bacterial, Earlgrey?
I'm not sure where to stand on it. I think there's value to the easy-access lugol's, but suspect the difference is in the bugs (gut flora which people are dependant upon/stuffed to the gills with).
I haven't gotten the 'magic pill' cure with internal Iodine dosing either.. but I do know the body adjusts it's chemistry and physical construction to handle what's thrown at it. (Like bromine and chlorine in the states).
Thanks for sharing what's worked for you :-)
::Edit:: ... Owch, that thread between vulcanel and earlgrey was spicy! Gyuh..
