That is only your opinion, Sean. I think it is best to start slow and see what happens.

Maybe the recommended allowance for a women should be higher. Iodine is one of the best defenses against breast cancer which is on the rise.

If someone is getting a severe reaction to iodine, then you need to evaluate your diet and environment for major sources of exposure. Do you still have amalgam in your mouth somewhere? Are you drinking Mt. Dew, gatorade, energy sodas etc. You are also exposed to bromide as a flame retardant, cleaning agent in hot tubs and many many many other things. Bromide is found in most flours and breads. Do you use fluoridated water, toothpaste? Are you drinking and showering in chlorinated water? All of these exposures will cause more problems!

I used iodine WITH all 8 amalgams in my mouth. I don't think I stress that point enough! I didn't know any better back then and certainly never heard of Dr. Cutler!

There are plenty of women who have beaten thyroid cancer or reversed a thyroid condition with large doses of iodine. That one doctor did a study on how many toxins are eliminated through your urine and it is absolutely unbelievable. These people were excreting bromide and fluoride after 3 months worth of 3 iodoral tabs/day. Obviously we don't know their diets or their exposures, but it certainly suggests that it was coming out of areas other than their thyroid.

Read this and look at the table on page 3.
