While there are lot of claims that Iodine can "cure" thyroid and cancer, the claim is a dangerous over-simplification. Ray Peat warns that overdosing iodine actually causes the thyroid gland to shut down.(The Wolff-Chaikoff effect, which is taught to most doctors in medical school.) http://www.functionalps.com/blog/2011/10/12/the-myth-of-iodine-deficiency-an-interview-with-dr-ray-peat/ When Peat warns us of overdoing iodine, he may assume that we are eating his recommended totally PUFA free diet. (Something which is impossible if you eat any kind of food processed in factories or in restaurants.) Ray Peat follower Scott Schlegel explains that iodine intake is clouded by the excess non essential toxic man-made halogens in our environment e.g. bromine, flouride, chlorine, which our cells all too readily absorb, because they too easily confuse the stuff for iodine. Explained rather clearly in this article by Dr L. Wilson: http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/IODINE.htm Schlegel says that some of us may also benefit from supplementing with vitamins B1 and B2 (thiamine and niacin). http://www.scottschlegel.net/why-i-take-iodine/ After all that, I don't know if I need to supplement iodine or not! Wilson says to supplement with a little kelp. http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/KELP.HTM -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
