I just wanted to be clear that I am not one of those people trying to discredit Iodine on the forum. Like I said before, I am one of those who is praying that Iodine is the missing link to a lot of mysterious things going on with my body. I haven't had my period in almost a year, my thryoid is clearly underactive...and Iodine may be just what my body needs! Plus I took a round of cipro (fluoridated antibiotic) that threw me for a tail spin and I am now wondering if iodine can reverse the long term damage that drug seems to have inflicted on me. Anyhow, I have read many of your posts and you are one of the greats on CZ so keep doing what you do.
