Jay, Just a slight warning--if you are allergic to iodine you could make things worse by taking supplements. Iodine allergy is somewhat rare, though, just something to note, if your acne becomes worse or you get itchy after you start taking it, that would be the clue. Since I am one of the unfortunate folks with severe iodine allergy, I am extremely uncomfortable with all the posted recommendations regarding supplemental iodine and Lugol's Iodine, etc that appear here with never a single warning. Many people never know until they go for those medical imaging tests that require injected iodine that they are allergic, and a percentage of them die, if they are in a facility that doesn't keep a crash cart in the imaging room. paula

Maybe every one should look into it. If there's a Nuke dropped take two pills and your almost garenteed no thyroid cancer but not invincable to getting blown up.

Might want to read on the www.altcancer.com site under their Lugol's iodine page. Jay Ice, I hope you are getting better by the minute!! pj.
