sorry about my sarcasm:) And Iodine supplementation has not increased the sarcasm, it's always been there, some days more than others.
But it is danged difficult, if not impossible, to answer such a vaque Q or even know where to point someone's research. Thanks for elaborating.
It is my firm belief that everyone would benefit from a course of Iodine supplementation. Please do read over the FAQs, it's not a simple protocol, such as "take 2 iodoral and call me in the morning". And have your wife study as well, it's in her best interests to do so. For Iodine supplementation to work you have to take enough to boot out fluoride, bromide, etc., as these undesirable halogens sit on the receptor sites that iodine should. For that you need mg amounts. The io-docs claim that a three month course at 50mg per day will accomplish this. I'm not sure that I agree with that, I think it takes longer than that for most. I've certainly seen evidence of that on this board.
The only way to be sure that the body has reached "sufficiency" is to get iodine loading tests. There's info on that at
http://www.breastcancerchoices.org
And then, how much maintenance, for life? The io-docs say 12.5mg daily for women, 8mg daily for men. That's about what the Japanese get.
But unless you take enough initially, to get some detox going, the iodine doesn't have a chance.
And I'm talking about Lugol's or iodoral....
BTW, iodine is not a cure-all. Iodine supplementation cures iodine deficiency. Just so happens, though, that the entire body utilizes iodine, so iodine deficiency has certainly been shown to be a causal factor in many disease states
