Cori is CRYING and COMPLAINING again.

Nope...
I'm saying that the research that they present may be heavily skewed to line their pockets... and therefore pretty invalid.
Actual moral research doctors who do studies on supplements, drugs, medical devices etc. have no dog in the hunt.
If a doctor invents something he can do studies himself, but to have validity they must be repeated by impartial parties under controlled circumstances (double blind etc).
They distill information and present it.
That is how it should be.
If that information is skewed before release to the public it is done by the big corporations trying to make profits, not the guy in the lab.

I think that the fact that these doctors who are so highly promoted here are associating themselves with practices that are the equivalent of late night infomercial shills and snake-oil salesmen, is completely relevant information to anyone coming to this thread to learn about iodine. Every person should have all of the available information. Not just one, very skewed, side of it.

No flaming. I encourage everyone to look at ALL of the information themselves.

There's actually quite a bit of research (and I mean real scientific research, not forum posts or random websites) that illustrates significant risks from chronically elevated iodine doses. While iodine deficiency is not good either, it's a case where while some is beneficial, more is not necessarily so. I'm concerned when people say things like "well, I take a lot of it and feel fine" because long-term toxicity can take a while to emerge.

I'm not telling people they shouldn't take iodine--I realize that there are reasons to supplement, and I've read some compelling evidence in credible journals for moderate supplementation particularly for those who don't use iodized salt or consume seafood/seaweed regularly. But it is vitally important to be aware that taking too much of something beneficial can become harmful. Long-term high doses of iodine may cause significant and potentially irreversible health problems, including permanent damage to the thyroid.

I haven't looked at all of these, but those I looked at don't leave me overly concerned. Many involve much more dangerous forms of iodine, like amiodarone. Others involve iodine causing (or exacerbating) autoimmune thyroid damage, which we know can happen if you take iodine without selenium. The Peace Corps workers were in Niger, which a quick google search suggests is an area of low selenium.

And isn't this just perfect irony!!! The only one on this entire thread who demands that everyone does things their way is ----- GRIZZ !! A LIBERAL then - if ever I saw one.

Grow up, Grizz!!!

Breadsauce,

Now you are LYING again. I will post this again just for you:

EVERYONE IS EXPECTED TO DO IODINE THEIR WAY.

TO EACH THEIR OWN

Whether that is LOW DOSE iodine, Seafood & Seaweed, or whatever it is you want to do.

Kapish?

The Brownstein Iodine Protocol is for those of us who choose to do it.

Cori is CRYING and COMPLAINING again. When are you going to stop FLAMING this message thread?

Crying ? Complaining? Grizz - you are ruining this thread with your complaining , trolling and rudeness. Time you went on holiday again. The thread was GREAT without you bullying people.

And stop shouting. So rude.

I stopped taking my daily 12.5mg Iodoral a couple of days ago, and have a slightly tender throat when I swallow.

Could be anything, I'll post any developments though. I've taken a range of doses and forms of iodine (Iodoral/Lugols) having worked my way up to and back down from 50mg over the course of just under two years.

[breadsauce]

And what is this constant "Kapish??" Speaka the Englisha!

[breadsauce]

And stop shouting. So rude.

DO NOT SAY THAT I AM LYING simply because I think you are a very domineering and argumentative person (which you are proving yourself to be)

You don't own this thread and you are upsetting people with your constant trolling / abuse.

You have to accept that a different point of view is as valid (or more so) than yours. KAPISH??? (whatever that means...)

I'm confused. You quoted yourself?

Cori & Breadsauce have been added to my IGNORE list with their buddy PaleoBird.

Their constant complaining & crying are adding nothing worthwhile to this thread.
