Something to think about:

Ya iodine, among other things, is controversial. You have to choose the sources you believe in and go with whichever side persuades you. Iodine is being considered by the government to restrict buying for it. You can google it and see a huge debate. Many are stock piling it since it does not expire.

Now why would our beloved government want to stop us from buying iodine??? It is a cheap thing to buy. I hate government.

I am falling on the side of Dr Brownstein and others on this but we shall see.

You can find a negative or positive side to everything, but its up to us to decide which side we believe.

Just a thought. When you are wearing shoes is there plenty of room for your toes at the end of the shoe? Sometimes, without realizing it, there is not and your toes are hitting the end of your shoe. So you can have black toes, blue toes, also itchy, etc. The itchy part is not caused from anything else.

I wear sandals or opened toe shoes 95% of the time. Only in freezing cold weather will I attempt a full shoe, and it doesn't stay on my feet long. So no problem with shoes being tight. I try not to wear any at all, lol

Iodine is stockpiled by the government and by individuals.
This is for use in case of a radiation event... nuclear accident, dirty bomb by terrorists, etc.

Iodine in large doses is toxic...I just read in one of my professional magazines about a liability suit in a hospital where a large dose was given by accident... it is used in large doses only to treat thyroid storms, or dangerous Graves' situations. It kills the thyroid.

So I have misgivings about this naturopathic treatment too.

Ya, maybe, but you can also find a lot of studies where it works. And I do not plan on large doses. I know both sides of this coin, have read hours and hours and hours on it, both sides.

Sometimes we just have to pick a side. I guess I will find out.

But I understand your concern. People feel strongly on either side. thanks!
