I think protocols have become a type of religion for some people. Some feel the need to go out and save someone today. I know Trapper got me started by proselytizing Iodine in the OP forum. I'm glad he did even though he was being a little pest at the time. lol
I think sometimes we get in too big of hurry in flitting from one forum to another and don't take the time to reread and get the feel of our post. The tone of our messages are so critical to good communication. I find that the "call em as I see em" people (if Uny doesn't mind me using her phrase) are some of the most misunderstood people (by accident) They are passionate about what they believe in and can be very misunderstood by their stately emphasis on certain issues and their flair for being wordy. Of course when you get to know them better, you bond more and accept it as who thay are and that's what you love about them.
Lifestyles also make a difference in how people perceive one another. I'm not use to men speaking disrespectful to me. That is unheard of in my neck of the woods. But a certain amount of catiness is tolerated from other women. Why I don't know.
Did you see my post about wondering if you knew that selenium could cause a flair up in shingles. I didn't know if you had been supplementing with it or not. It's hard to remember everyone's protocols. I hope you and I both in time, can figure out how to take Lugol's without problems or at least for me to be able to us the detoxified Iodine that I have been using to displace halogens. But until then I guess we experiment or stick with the original protocol. Many blessings to you. (refreshed 48124)
