Guest guest Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thank you Greg! It seems those emails were in my junk box but I have found them now so I will start reading them today! One more question is the book "Why you need it, why you can't live without it" available in book stores? Or do I have to order it online? I only have one "Emergency" cc so I would rather not use it if I don't have to. I do understand I will have to buy the Iodine online and that's ok, I might be able to do that. Thanks again Greg.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Vicky, I've never seen Dr. Brownstein's book in a book store. Also, you might want to check out the Iodine Group's sister website: www.iodine4health.com Breast Cancer Choices: http://www.breastcancerchoices.org/ is a popular source among members for purchasing Iodoral, the preferred iodine supplement, though there are other options you might want to explore such as Lugol's iodine. Breastcancerchoices is non profit organization and all proceeds go to a good cause. When starting out supplementing with iodine, it's often recommended to start with small doses. The Iodoral tablets are scored and can easily be divided. If you have dosing questions after reading the literature, I'm sure other members will be available to answer them. Also, keep in mind that the Iodine Group is about the " Iodine Protocol, " a comprehensive program used for achieving the optimal utilization of iodine. When the PROTOCOL is followed it's health benefits can be far-reaching. Some of the companion nutrients you'll want to become familiar with are: selenium, ATP Cofactors (B3 and B2), vitamin c, magnesium, adequate water intake, sea salt. . .. among others when indicated. Also, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the potential detox symptoms and the protocol(s) for dealing with these symptoms. I'm a part time member, not an expert on iodine. The moderators: , and Kathleen, and the other members of the group will better be able to guide you, addressing your individual needs. And it's essential that you begin educating yourself on the basics. Once again, welcome to the group.
