Hi Everyone. It's amazing...I'm on six or seven health-oriented lists, and about five of them have been discussing iodine and the thyroid in the past few weeks. Therefore, I have written and posted some articles on the thyroid and iodine on my website. Go to http://www.nenahsylver.com/default.asp?contentID=677&toplevel=615 and click onto everything in the right hand box that starts with the word "Thyroid." I have found a great deal of information that I think will help clarify some questions people have.
