This can lead to all sorts of problems, including cancer, because it shuts off the body's natural (iodine) defense system.

He himself used to be on Synthroid, but weaned himself off it, switching to iodine. He does the same thing with his patients.

It sounds like millions of people are going to hell in a handbasket.
