You are advocating excess iodine therapy beyond what we acquire in a natural diet.

I don't believe that's what SJ is saying. The point is that the minerals are not in our diet. The essential minerals are no longer in the soil that grows the food. The fact is we need to supplement our mineral intake in order to get the doses needed to maintain healthy healing. I say healing because our bodies are regeneration/healing machines. There is no optimal state for the human body. It needs constant attention. I think when we understand this fundamental premise, we can start on the road to true health.

This is nonsense. The depleted soil myth. And, yes, I am an expert. About the only mineral that is lacking in the diet that needs to be supplemented, especially for women, is calcium.
