Re: red pimples!

Too much of something that is a cure can backfire and cause the same symptoms.

Different thing, of course, but Udo Erasmus, the expert on Fatty Acids said he took too much Flax Oil (Omega-3) and ended up with the symptoms which it originally cured. He said this was caused by an Omega-6 deficiency.

Too much Vitamin C will cause "rebound scurvy." Something very bad happened to my daughter from too much C and I'm very cautious about the synthetic C (ascorbic acid) so readily available. Even Szent-Gyorgi (sp.) who discovered C, said he could not cure scurvy with pure ascorbic acid -- only with citrus or paprika, in his experiments. Synthetic C is usually synthesized from corn sugar. Sometimes they throw in a few bioflavanoids.

That's why I don't like mega-doses of anything, including Lugol's which is the best Iodine supplement. Moderation in all things, as my grandma would say.

Lugol's is good medicine, but it is not food and needs to be used with caution.
