THANKS SO MUCH! You seem to know a lot about chemistry - if you are

comfortable sharing a little about your background and interests I

would love to know more about you.

Thanks again,

Dear All,

My background is in chemical engineering, with a PhD from Cornell

University in the area of Biochemical Engineering. How I got from

there to where I am now is an interesting story, but not for here.

I've been working with Hallelujah Acres as a research scientist for

almost 9 years now. My interests are mainly in helping people know

that radical dietary changes are a viable alternative to surgery and

medications. We need health care, not disease management.

I've been interested in iodine for over a year now and am looking for

a type and amount of iodine that can be safely and effectively taken

by the general population. We do need much more than we get in any of

our diets, unless one eats lots of sea vegetables.

So, I appreciated the feedback in this group about what you are doing

and how it is going. The iodine4health website is very thorough and I

have found it to be a good resource.

Thanks,

osn

Yes, I also would like to know what would be considered an appropriate

supplement dose of a very healthy individual, ME. 67 years young, no medical

problems other than minor dry eye irritations which I have recently been

treating satisfactorily with drops of VCO in eyes on retiring each evening.

Cheers, Doug
