Dr. Bakker gets it, and is very knowledgeable on iodine. Here are his comments:
Hi Grizz,
I Agree, Iodine is absolutely amazing, I have used it for years and it is very antifungal, antibacterial and antiparasitic by nature. I've found lots of fear mongerers out there who positively SLAM iodine. Have they ever treated patients like I have , or do that read stuff on blog sites and like parrots, go out and repeat what they read? It's funny how many people don't think twice about taking an antibiotic, but freak-out when they think about iodine.
I have used 50 and even 100mg on hypothyroid patients and seen amazing results. But in sating that, I've used iodine (Lugol's) also with hyperthyroid patients when warranted, you read it correctly. But, this was done after urinary and salivary testing.
A whopping 96% are iodine deficient,and my guess is that 100% of candida sufferers are iodine deficient.
