I'm with you on that Chewy, I had all that crap thrown at me too - there seems to be a total brick wall against anyone saying that taking Iodine has made them ill and to try and blame it on soy lecithin which I personally take AFTER the event, not before, it sounds like the desperate sound of clutching at straws to me. 2 people here, me and chewy, have had terrible life changing events triggered by taking iodine, neither of us are stupid - she is a teacher soon to be out of work like me due to unforseen reactions to iodine, I was a fully qualified engineer and nutritionist. So yes, sit there all smug and call us big pharma if you want, and while you are at it just thank god that this didn't happen to you! I am at nearly a year now and the best I have achieved is a reduction in symptoms but no comparison to the excellent health I had before. Go figure......
