You do realize you are citing stuff that is involved in SELLING iodine? It isn't any independent organization/university/etc. that is saying that. My grandpa is 95 and very healthy and never took Lugol'sIodine and still doesn't today. Like I said...I will keep taking the 50mg till the iodoral is done, if I haven't noticed a benefit then I am going to brush high dose Iodine off as crack science.
