Re: Hveragerthi..Orthoiodosupplementation
>>Just because someone breaks out this does not mean it is from bromine,
No one has claimed that the only cause of acne is bromide/ine.
Try reading the thread and apply this to the context of the thread.
>> which is what was being discussed.
Iodine from milk causing acne is being discussed.
Iodine in general causing acne in some sensitive individuals is being discussed.
>>I am still waiting for the people claiming this to provide some solid proof to this claim.
Hold that thought.
I know I will be holding this thought for a long, long time all because the people attacking me have ABSOLUTELY NO evidence to back their claims. That is why they keep responding with attacks in lieu of real evidence.
>>But the point i was getting to is that these halogens are more predominant in our society and we have much higher levels of exposure to these halogens that we do bromine. But they are making it sound like bromine is in everything so most people will have excess bromine in their system.
Wrong. Ask "them" about fluoride and metals and...
They made no mention of these. Their response was that the iodine was displacing the BROMINE, not fluoride, not metals....... Again read what was actually said, not what you think was said.
>>But if this were the case then the MAJORITY of the population would have acne. But this obviously is not the case.
Queue up one hundred American men and women buck naked and I'll bet my left (blank) that over 50% would have "acne" somewhere.
I did not realize that you had a set of 'blanks'. Regardless you are straying from the topic and what they claimed. Again where is the proof that iodine causes acne because it is displacing iodine? It is a simple question, so why can't I get an answer from the people who are claiming this?
>>If it were fact I would also expect there to be a lot of research backing up these claims.
Seriously??
Well I guess that answers my last question. So you are saying that there is NO evidence to back the bromine hypothesis, but you agree with those bashing me because I posted evidence that iodine can cause acne. And you think this makes sense how?!!!!
>>But again the research is seriously lacking. But they take what few studies that are available and twist them in to a scare tactic. For example the claim about bromism from excessive soda consumption. Well here is a study so let's review it:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9140329
As you read the study we find out that the study is based on ONE case. Yet the people arguing with me try to make it sound like we have a widespread epidemic of bromine poisoning because they found one study about one person developing bromism. Or they read the claim from the first person who made this claim and ran with it without ever checking their facts. In fact the first line of the abstract states "Bromism is an UNUSUAL occurrence".
At the risk and expense of repeating myself...nevermind.
You did not have to repeat yourself at all. It was already EXTREMELY clear that the whole bromide claim lacks any evidence. That is why no evidence of the claim is being presented. And you cannot blame the lack of evidence on some big conspiracy. I was able to find evidence of iodine induced acne, so there should be proof somewhere to prove the iodine causes acne through bromide release somewhere if the claim was true.
So there is no need to continue going in circles with you. It is just a waste of time and I realize you cannot provide evidence when none exists. But I would appreciate if you and your buddies would stop making unsubstantiated and unproven claims here and stating them as fact.
And if you don't like the evidence I post here nobody is forcing you to be here. If you want to hear unsubstantiated claims to believe in then you can join the others making these claims on the iodine boards.
