I am taking iodine myself, after years of running scared of it because of my thyroid. I'm not taking much, but as little salt as I eat and my insatiable desire for seafood and iodine rich food convinced I need some. So I switched multis to one that had it in it. Did it work? I'd like to think it did, but I don't have nonanecdotal evidence for you, aside from some sleep logs indicating I'm sleeping less but doing better. (I went from still being exhausted after 12 hrs of sleep to being downright perky after 8 hrs.)
I am my own experiment. I accept nothing as a panacea; nothing is the next miracle cure and whatever it is more likely to be snake oil. If there is some form of true evidence (not anecdotes, not doctor's approval, but something from the scientific community), and it appears to be positive, I might give it a shot. Have I crashed and burned? I refer you to my whole30 experiment on that one. Have I found a miracle cure? Nope. Closest I've come is supplementing selenium, iodine, and vitamin D in the doses MY body needs. Those who say that this snake oil/ supplement/ medicine/ diet/ exercise/ group/ whatthehellever is what will cure you of anything, everything, and make you Hans Solo handsome or Princess Leia pretty to boot are smoking snake oiled crack and drinking the crackool aid.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

If I may join, hi everyone! I've spent the last couple of months reading this journal (mostly at work, hangs head in shame), it's been a hilarious ride. Panda I love your writing style. Glad to finally be up to where everyone else is rather than feeling like a weirdo lurker. Don't know how much I have to contribute, my boobies are not worth photographing, iodine hasn't fixed all my problems (however vitamin D has done wonders for clearing fogginess and lethargy!). My cat does have a benign poltergeist, it resides in his litter box and utters awful things whilst he does his business, causing him to run around the house once vacating the litter box, in his younger years it would tell him to pounce on us in the middle of the night to wake us up, but I think he's ignoring that nightly dare nowadays instead opting for sleeping on my arm whilst I sleep.
Welcome to the Forest, Aussie!
My cat has a benign poltergeist too. Apparently it runs between my legs while I'm walking through the house in the morning and she's hell bent on catching it b/c she nearly trips me at least 8 times each morning.
Sick, so very, very sick.
Since I can't write for anything today, I posted a youtube video of a fat cat wedged into a pot on Pandaloonery. Enjoy!
