Chuck- I rarely say never but this time I meant it. I will never accept that there is such a thing as an iodine allergy. More about that herein. In the meantime, I can totally accept that your wife has a reaction to Betadyne, which is a pharmacological product, not elemental iodine or a natural iodine compound. There are iodine products which are known to be poisonous with continued use such as amiodarone and the dyes used for myelograms. No argument there.
Sol- I am well aware of your iodine problem and that you have been pronounced with an allergy by the medical establishment. When I posted my assertion I knew you would respond to it. I was not baiting you but I knew that you would rise to this. I have never had a quarrel with you and don't wish to now but... Consider this- that you have allowed someone else, an "Expert", to tell you who and what you are, instead of deciding for yourself that, yes, I have a problem, but I'm going to find a way around it. And, by being adamant that there is such a thing and that there is no way around it but extreme avoidance, that you may be standing in someone else's path of healing. I maintain that you have not found the way around it yet. I'll be the very first to admit that reactions to iodine can be extreme because I had extreme reactions to it for a very long time. I have never let a doctor tell me anything is incurable, unbeatable, etc and I have beaten many things that they said could not be beaten. I was told that I would have to have a lumbar disckectomy and a double cervical diskectomy about 6 years ago but I have beaten most of that and re-gained 3/4" of previously lost height. Nope the doctors aren't going to tell me a thing that I don't want to hear. I am convinced that my wife has some argyria in her fingernails. Do you see me harping against CS/EIS anywhere? Actually, she still uses it in emergencies, just not prophylactically. My proposition to you is that you should try to start finding ways to beat the problem, not defend your limitations. Other than that, it's your business. But I'll say it again. I will NEVER accept that there really is such a thing as an iodine allergy in humans. I waited to post this after Steve Foss sent his message on the subject. Yes, I'm aware that iodine allergy is supposed to be quite common, but again, I'll never accept it. There's a way out. I may not know it, you may not know it, but there's a cure, a fix, some how some where some way. Same for sunlight allergies. That brings up our experience with vitiligo, a well know "incurable" condition. I had a Doctor to stiffen his back at me once when I doubted his word that there was no cure. It took years but we did find a doctor who was able to cause a significant regeneration of skin pigment on our son's neck and arms. (Don't anyone quiz me too much on this, that was before PC's, the doctor moved and I lost all the info.) BTW Steve- The Lew Rockwell article is really good. My wife is well over 100 mgs a day of iodine right now and we've been thinking about going higher so this article really interested me.
