The debate about "good vs bad" naturally occuring substances is eternal.

My thinking: poison is poison. There are a LOT of natural plants that cause sickness & death.

Why are they here? Maybe other parts of nature need them...things that will poison a human/mammal don't necessarily poison plants and, say, reptiles.

We were given livers that detox our body/blood (or we 'evolved' them)...when the earth was totally free of man-made poisons. I firmly believe that is because there are poisons that are naturally consumed in our food that require the liver's detoxification action.

If there WAS some way to totally deplete the human body of bromide (both the naturally occuring kind AND the chemicalized kind), then there's a possibility that one might want to consider "bromine supplementation" (I believe 'V' has done so, but I haven't done enough research to have an opintion). I haven't found ANY evidence that 'total depletion' could be attained.

Yes, Iodine will displace bromine/fluoride/chloride, but I can't imagine it doing a "clean sweep/total void" - I'd think that would be virtually impossible. In a test tube/lab? maybe...but in the human body? Chloride is ESSENTIAL to life, and one can die from chloride deficiency...but the body holds onto to it tightly (even though 'chemically' it may prove 'impossible' in a lab situation for chloride to not be displaced entirely by large amounts of iodine).

Sure, when we choose to go to extremes, we can end up becoming symptomatic or diseased, but there's ample evidence (recent & throughout history) that Iodine supplementation in amounts of 1-1000mg daily generally does nothing but 'cure'.

A quick Google reveals that in LONG-term dialysis patients, sleep disturbance has been noted as possibly caused by bromine deficiency...but that's not even a drop in the bucket compared to excessive bromine.

I wish I knew if good bromine would push out the bad...but that doesn't make any sense to my logic. Would large amounts of natural occuring arsenic push out chemical arsenic? I'd think it would only add to the poisoning.

>>In other words, foods in their truly natural mineral combinations are good for us.<<

Without going into some level of micro-hair-splitting, "scientific" debate, I wholeheartedly agree with that statement!
