I don't want to start a debate with you, Tyler Durden, I enjoy your posts & have a lot of respect for you. This question has come up repeatedly. High on Water, also, has reported great results with the detoxified. My point of contention is that all of the SUCCESSFUL studies(on FBD, in particular) have used a source which contains both Iodine & ioDIDE. Studies that used only an Iodide source( SSKI , potassium iodide)...resulted in only PARTIAL healing. The detoxified contains only iodide. It may very well be that there is some quality to the detoxified that enables the body to more easily convert the Iodide to iodide, we don't know that, YET. David Brownstein, MD:
