>>When I, and others, express that we do not handle very much Iodine, this is considered as an attack. It's as though our experiences do not count.<<

This is simply not true. If posters say they can't handle much...options, support, alternatives are freely offered.

What is attacked is when researched truths are ignored and 'posted over' with verifiable untruths.

>>I was on the bandwagon for Lugol's until I found that it did not work at a 50 Mg. dosage, for ME. As I explained, it did work, at first, but then I went HYPOTHYROID. That appears to be happening to others.<<

'Tis possible and it's happened. In the clinical studies, research, and documentation of Brownstein/Flechas, lowering doses was common in this situation...but they did not switch to kelp. (maybe it will work for you; maybe it won't) There is nothing to dispute here, nor is anyone disputing it.

>>We who do not handle these doses do not get angry or deny that YOU and OTHERS are receiving a benefit therefrom. I've seen no one who feels that way. We would like, however, some consideration and understanding.<<

I have respectfully and plainly asked you to stop insinuating that I am feeling anger or exhibiting anger, when I clearly am not. (Please go back and read all posts by me today to verify). I am asking you (again) to stop insinuating that I harbor or exhibit anger. I have no emotional concern whatsoever with the dosage level of anyone on the planet.

I have never denied (or expressed anger) that anyone could receive benefits from kelp/seaweed. I am not typically a "cheerleader poster"...although I may smile and feel good that someone has benefitted from Iodine (in the form of Lugol's or seaweed) , I generally don't join the cheering section. I certainly have not expressed anger (nor denied) the possibly/reported benefits of seaweed.

Yet you continue to post that I do just that, when I have not.

>>It seems to be that those who are doing well on 50 Mg. or more are the ones who deny the others, an opinion.<<

No one is denying anyone 'an opinion'...but as you well know from reading my other posts that you have responded to, once an opinion has been proven to be an untruth by valid research & experience - and the person expressing the opinion has read/been presented with the evidence, yet continues to post the same untruths time and time again - the issue is no longer "an opinion". The issue is a known untruth that continues to be repeated.

The level of Iodine dosage is not an issue.

>> Such as, the possibility of the antiseptic quality of Lugol's affecting the intestinal flora<<

The article that you posted clearly stated (my paraphrase) --that an overdose of PURE Iodine could cause an infection or inflammation--. It did NOT say Lugol's or Iodoral (which are NOT pure elemental iodine). Nor did the article say anything about the 'antiseptic quality of Lugol's affecting the intestinal flora'...because the article said PURE iodine, and the article said nothing about Lugol's OR "pure iodine" adversely affecting the intestinal flora.

If you want to consider/question the possibility that providing sufficient iodine in the form of Lugol's could disrupt the intestinal flora...then the place to do that is the Debate Forum.

>>Also, you well know that Flechas and Brownstein do NOT recommend Iodine for auto-immune thyroid conditions. You must also know that, if you've read Brownstein's book, SOME cannot tolerate but very small doses. So, telling people there's no such thing as an overdose is irresponsible and untrue.<<

I have read/know that iodine is not recommended for auto-immune thyroid; and I have also read that some "tolerate" smaller doses better than larger doses (which can mean the iodine OR the detox symptoms).

No one (of which I'm aware) has ever suggested/recommended iodine for anyone with an auto-immune thyroid disorder, and I'm SURE no one has EVER advocated taking more iodine than what an individual deems 'tolerable'...so your assertation/accusation that I have been irresponsible or offered an untruth about 'overdose' is in error.

>>Attacking me by calling me a Troll, a Liar, Etc., doesn't change facts.<<

It appears (quite clearly) to many posters that the only person attempting to "change facts" is you. Pointing out/illuminating the truth is not an attack; it's simply pointing out a truth.
