Iodine, like many nutrients, works in conjunction with others. When you add Iodine its important you add in all the other required supplements. Those that do have no issues and make significant progress, those that dont have issues.

Mercola, like most docs, simply reads some poorly contrived study and takes it as gospel. Dont just start taking iodine. Stick around, do some research and when you are ready with all the supporting nutrients take the plunge.

Im rather new to Iodine myself but a long time proponent in supplementation as a whole. Ive been taking 50mg iadoral daily for over 90 days now with only minor detox issues and a whole lot of fat loss.

yes, there is no way you are supposed to be taking Iodine from an authority standpoint. if you believe in humanitarian drones and kerosene bringing down steel skyscrapers, you shouldnt have any trouble not taking Iodine as well.

it has been known almost since the discovery of Iodine as an element on the periodic table that lack of iodine causes hypothyroidism and goiter. have we been that poisoned? are we so biochemically altered so that the opposite is now true?

these people are lying. except they truly dont want you to touch iodine.
