MERK, PUBMED and dates...

I am not ashamed... why do you say "for shame"?

The date on the archived article from the PubMed site is March 1932... The study Canadian. The case studies from 1927 and 1930... I do not think Big Pharma had its fingers in that one; doubtful.

The only thing I took off of the MERK site was the definition for iodism... nothing more.

From the MERK site as taken from my original post:

iodism (io·dism) (i´o-diz-əm) chronic poisoning by Iodine or Iodine compounds; it is marked by coryza, ptyalism, frontal headache, emaciation, weakness, and skin eruptions (iododerma). Called also Iodine poisoning.

To have that come under fire is exactly what I am talking about... where is the reasoning or common sense here?

If others find reason to laugh at a definition from MERK, which is the same as most any dictionary definition, and/or a 75 year old medical report from the Royal Ottawa Sanatorium, Ottawa, cool... let them laugh away. It does not make sense to me.

This is exactly the type of behavior I am talking about... it is a free for all, a frenzy, when someone posts anything that in the least bit even suggests care and moderation. Others have seen it and commented on it only to flee and find haven elsewhere.

I will state again that I have no doubt many are iodine deficient and need some form of iodine supplementation. I have absolutely no doubt that we are overloaded with bromide, fluoride and possibly chlorine upsetting the halide balance requiring a good flushing... but once people accomplish their goals, PLEASE choose a reasonable maintenance dose, 12.5mg for females and 8mg for males as stated in the literature.

People are not reading the information carefully and completely, either that or they do not want to read and/or know both sides of the story...

For instance you may not have known this...

2.1.1. DISCLOSURE

The authorities have moral obligations to inform the public The International Atomic Energy Agency claims that the negative effects of the Chernobyl accident were not limited to radiation induced cancer (IAEA, 1991; 1996). Psychological stress
(feeling of helplessness and confusion, lack of control and personal autonomy) associated with living within contaminated areas of Former Soviet Union, as well as the consequences of some remediation measures have been shown to be more detrimental to health than the radiation risk itself within some populations. Doctors in Italy and Denmark reported an increase of induced abortion after the accident, supposedly as a result of anxiety in the pregnant mothers (Knudsen, 1991; Spinelli et al., 1991)), whilst Italian authorities claimed that people died from stable iodine overdose (Gould, 1990).

Such negative effects have led to some people contemplating whether the public might have been “better-off” had they remained ignorant of the accident (e.g. Beck, 1991).

"people died from stable iodine overdose (Gould, 1990)."

Just be careful... that is all I am saying. Tweet
